CD / Ellen Allien
/ Stadtkind / Bpitch Control
First full length by Berlin techno artist Ellen Allien. Her label is
happening and this record is too. Most songs have vocals, though vocals
play little part in the songs. It is all about rhythm.

CD / Dot Allison
/ We Are Science / Mantra
Dot Allison has been lucky enough to work with some great producers
for her work, and her voice sounds angelic and beautiful. It just seems
as though she could have used more direction in order to build a better
focus for this sophomore effort.

CD / various / Instrumentals
- Staedtizism 3 / ~scape
Don't be mislead by the title Of the series, Staedtizism 3 is the most
vocal of the lot. Staedtizism 3 breaks the pattern started on the first
2 volumes almost completely, veering slightly out of dub and into minimalist
glitch lounge hop.

7" / Sex Pistols
/ "God Save The Queen" b-w "God Save The Queen (Neil Barnes
remix)" / Virgin
When the chips are down, this remix will fit in with the other electro/dub
flashing around, and the original version will fit fine next to the best
punk rock you could dig up.

CD / Komëit
/ Falling Into Place / Monika Enterprise
Combines the best of bedroom casio pop (without sounding like it was
recorded in a bedroom), New Zealand-inspired melancholy and the atmospherics
of Brian Eno circa Before and After Science.
