Aaron Brown - Reviews
Die Krupps
Impressive reworking by German industrial band Die Krupps of their seminal 1981 debut album ‘Stahlwerksinfonie’
Pet Shop Boys
Fabulous dance-influenced thirteenth album from electro giants the Pet Shop Boys, which has been produced by Stuart Price of Les Rythmes Digitales
Hummingbirds
Fine new single from Liverpudlian band the Hummingbirds, which merges past and present influences
Depeche Mode
Impressive twelfth album from Depeche Mode, who entering the fourth decade of their career show that they have lost none of their edge
Faith No More
Unnecessary double CD Greatest Hits compilation from the already much repackaged Faith No More, released to tie in with their recent reunion and impending world tour
Filter
Often lacklustre compilation from American industrial group Filter, the project of ex-Nine Inch Nails guitarist, who unfortunately became more and more disappointing with each new release
Goldie Lookin' Chain
Awful comeback album from Welsh hip hop collective, Goldie Lookin' Chain
Therapy ?
Typically black humoured rock on thirteenth album from Belfast trio Therapy ?, which proves to be one of their best album in years
Moby
Excellent new downlaod single from dance pioneer Moby which, taken from his recent album 'Last Night', finds him returning to basics
Kills
Excitable and unpretentious new single from the Kills, which has been taken from their recent 'Midnight Boom' album
Fighting With Wire
Impressively raw post-hardcore on debut album from hard touring Derry trio, Fighting With Wire
Walls Of Jericho
Surprisingly soft-edged, but nevertheless effective new EP from American hardcore act, the Walls of Jericho
Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Experimental, but decent first album in eight years from diverse swing punks, the Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Moby
Experimental, hip-hop influenced new single from Moby
Korn
Welcome return to form on eighth album from ever-controversial hardcore rockers, Korn
Dirge
Demanding, but appealing combination of heavy guitars and hell fire atmospherics on reissue of apocalyptic debut album from Dirge
Horrorpops
Enjoyable psychobilly from crazy Los-Angeles based Danish group Horrorpops
Korn
Strictly-by-numbers new single from ever controversial hardcore rockers, Korn
Sevendust
Strong but sometimes generic fourth album from the multi-million selling Sevendust, who balance extreme cutting edge metal with pop sensibilities
Nekromantix
Re-release of Danish psychobilly band from hell Nekromantix's rip-roaring 1994 classic 'Brought Back to Life'
