12" / Figurine
/ Impossible / Monika Enterprise
Figurine's music is very much electronic-based, with a sweet female
singer, who sometimes uses her male counterpart for additional vocals.

CD / The June Brides
/ For Better or Worse / Overground Records
Hopeful amateurs in the best sense of the term. They over compensate
for the low production values on these songs with a winning attitude of
joy and spontaneity.

CD / Kid 606
/ The Action Packed Mentalist Brings You the F**king Jams / Violent Turd
Always the collaborator, it seems like he's picking some serious pirate
booty for this one. This is not novel, but for what it is it's some of
the best going on...

10" / Malaria!
Vs. Chicks On Speed and Barbara Morgenstern / Kaltes Klares Wasser
/ Monika Enterprise
Years after Kaltes Klares Wasser poured into my life through Chicks
On Speed's 'the un-releases' CD, it is still a thrill to hear how they
transformed the Malaria! song into something entirely different; as special
as the original was.

/ Vai Vai / Eighteenth Street Lounge Music

10" / Young,
Sick, and Beautiful / "Suspenders Vermacht Style" b-w
"Jeunes Gens Modernes" & "Haunted F**k"
A sound which is right out of the early 80s scene. The bass is somewhat
discofied, but too driving and dirge-like to qualify as disco.
