15%Auto -Auto - Totem EP2005-12-12 / Selene / Reads: 7871I've come across the Swedish band Auto-Auto quite recently. Their debut album and the single were very inspiring, interesting and nice, so as soon as the EP “totem” was out I grabbed it expecting some continuation of great material. However, I was bitterly disappointed as the new material was mediocre,... |
75%Dope Stars Inc. - 10.000 Watts Of Artificial Pleasures2005-12-15 / Antares / Reads: 10211"10.000 Watts Of Artificial Pleasures" is a debut EP of the Italian quartet Dope Stars Inc.

A starting point might be the comparison of both albums to the music of the road, accompanying certain images or the act of happening. Tales we create ourselves according to the sound instructions... |
60%Avotor - Catalogue Sampler2005-12-24 / Antares / Reads: 4552Avotor is quite an unusual project from New Zealand, halfway between industrial rock and electro-industrial, although the form is rather unexpected. We have real drums, guitars, bass and keyboards here, but they're all channelled through an array of effects and distortions, finally mixed with a few "strange" samples. Unfortunately, the... |
100%Depeche Mode - Violator2005-12-30 / _lin / Reads: 15637March nine nil. Day nineteenth. Mute Records Ltd. before releasing "Personal Jesus" had already stirred up the charts in the USA and elsewhere. Not to mention the legendary "Enjoy The Silence" with the memorable character of the Gahan-King created by Anton Corbijn. The third hit-single only proved the genius of... |
