Art Of Noise - The Seduction of Claude Debussy - ZTT/Universal
Not bad. A little dissapointing. To me, this really doesn't sound like an AON record, but whatever.

Better Than Ezra - "How Does Your Garden Grow?" - Elektra
Another great record by this always entertaining band. A must-see live if they stop near your town.
|
Boom Crash Opera - "Gizmo Mantra" - BMG Australia
Hmmm... Well, I guess this is alright as far as BCO goes. Not as good as earlier work, but if you're a fan it's worth a listen. (Aussie import only)
|
Burning Airlines - "Burning Airlines" - DeSoto (featuring Jay from Jawbox)
I really am a big Jawbox fan and this is the next best thing to a Jawbox record. In fact I really really like it alot.
|
Deep Dish - Junk Science - Arista
A friend of mine who I worked with alot on THE UNTOUCHABLE soundtrack, Richard MOREL, co-wrote and sang on a few songs on this record as well as engineered a good bit of it. Very nice dancy stuff.
|
Foo Fighters - "" - Roswell/RCA
David Grohl continues to amaze me with his stunning record.
|
Garbage - "Version 2.0" - Almo Sounds
Not as great as their first record, but still worth a listen.
|
Nik Kershaw - "15 Minutes" -
Not a bad album from a guy who seemed to dissapear from the face of the earth. I really like some of the songs on this record. I've never been one to like everything Nik has done, but I do like a good bit of it. Not only that-- the album features a hidden acoustic version of "Wouldn't It Be Good" at the end of the cd.
|
Jawbox - "My Scrapbook Of Fatal Accidents" - DeSoto (Best DC band ever)
Like I said- I'm a big Jawbox fan. I've got to believe there's more unreleased stuff than this from this band but this is a good start. I think a good live CD would be a great idea! (hint hint! DeSoto!)
|
London Suede - Head Music - Columbia
I have to say I was a little bit unimpressed with this new album compared to old stuff, but it's not bad and I'm sure it will continue to grow on me.
|
Mayfield - "Mayfield" - Zerodisc (Curt Smith, ex-Tears For Fears)
I LOVE THIS RECORD! It was actually released a few years ago, but I kept putting off buying it until this year. I wish I had bought it sooner! If you're a TFF fan than you're gonna love this.
|
Nada Surf - "The Proximity Effect" - (dropped by Elektra)
This is one of the last records I almost worked while at Elektra. Unfortunatly, the band was dropped just before the release date. I don't think the album ever made it to stores on any label. It's a real shame too because this is a really fine record. I have seen a few copies floating around in used record stores since it was serviced to radio and promos were made. Pick it up if you see it.

Owlsey - "Owlsey" - WB
|
Scritti Politti - Anomie and Bohemie - Virgin (UK)
The first record from Green Gartside in over a decade. I bought the import last summer when it was released, but it is available now in the US. Definatly worth a listen.
|
David Sylvian - "Dead Bees On A Cake" - Virgin
One of my all-time favorite singers. His music really relaxes me in a weird way. This album is really nice.
|
XTC - "Apple Venus: Volume One" - TVT
One of my all-time favorite bands is finally back with a really nice laid-back album.
|
Jude - "No One's Really Beautiful" - Maverick
