 The sound of the CD has an impressive three-dimensionality.

 Buy it even if it’s already a few years old (it’s from 2000).

Kruder & Dorfmeister's The K&D Sessions offers a refined, three-dimensional sound experience with contributions from top genre artists. The album is praised for its sophisticated beats and enduring quality.

 How much humanity in an album created with artificial instruments!

 Not to be missed.

 Good Looking Record is a way of life.

 None of the tracks on the CD manage to display any flashes of genius or particularly successful sounds.

Producer 05 by LTJ Bukem presents a smooth fusion of Jungle, Jazz, and RnB on a collection of B-sides. While listenable and beautiful, it lacks standout or genius tracks compared to earlier releases. The album maintains the Good Looking Records ethos but doesn't reach the highs of its predecessor. Notable is an intriguing version of the Mission Impossible theme. Fans might prefer awaiting the upcoming Earth volume 6. Listen to LTJ Bukem's Producer 05 and experience a smooth blend of Jungle and Jazz vibes or wait for the upcoming Earth volume 6!

 A beautiful collection of diverse sounds, there’s no denying that.

 In the sparse British scene, Damon Gough deserves credit for having created something... singular.

Badly Drawn Boy’s About a Boy is a beautifully diverse album combining sounds from the '50s to the '90s. It serves as a fitting soundtrack for the film and stands out in the sparse British scene. While not groundbreaking, it offers a pleasant listening experience and lasting appeal. Listen to Badly Drawn Boy’s About a Boy and experience its timeless, diverse soundscapes today!

 Is it possible that "Made in the U.K." produces nothing but clones of the "blank generation"??

 One star only because the program doesn’t allow "zero" [message for the webmaster]

The review harshly critiques Doves' album The Last Broadcast, expressing disappointment in its lack of originality amidst the UK indie scene. The writer sarcastically questions the British music press's praise and compares Doves unfavorably to bands like Coldplay and Travis.

 Oh dear, oh dear! Running out of creativity, huh? The ideas are starting to run low, aren’t they??

 Maybe that’s the worst part. While with 'Play' Moby had marked the beginning of a new era, with '18' there’s a sort of ideal continuation on the same plane.

The review finds Moby's album 18 to be a continuation of his previous work Play, without offering much new creativity. While notable tracks like "We Are All Made of Stars" and "Extreme Ways" stand out, much of the album feels familiar and predictable. The reviewer appreciates Moby as an artist but rates the album as average. The album is seen as likely to receive commercial use despite its lack of innovation. Listen to Moby's 18 and decide if his familiar style still resonates with you!

 Label enthusiasts call it Emo-Core, which means a more emotional Hard Core.

 Life And Limb, which reminds me of the best of Sonic Youth’s Dirty and the supreme Strangelight, a melodic song that almost sounds like a demo.

Fugazi's album The Argument is an intense Emo-Core record with a dark, raw, and colorful sound. It showcases evolution from past works and mixes influences from punk and alternative rock. Key tracks like "Life And Limb" and "Strangelight" stand out for their emotional and melodic qualities. The reviewer appreciates the work but prefers the earlier album Red Medicine. Discover Fugazi's The Argument and experience the intense evolution of Emo-Core music.

 No clichés that made Fred Durst & Co. famous. A healthy power pop, sometimes even too melodic.

 What depth of sounds and what beautiful guitars! They remind me a bit of the things done by Bob Mould in the post-Hüsker Dü era.

Rival Schools' United By Fate marks Walter Schreifels' fresh return to music with a blend of melodic hardcore and power pop. The album distances itself from nu metal clichés, offering heartfelt ballads and powerful tracks. Fans of the American Hardcore scene will appreciate the depth and nostalgic guitar work reminiscent of Bob Mould. Though some songs sound similar, the overall execution is compelling and enjoyable. Listen to Rival Schools' United By Fate and experience a powerful blend of melodic hardcore and heartfelt rock.

 These are songs that could be used for everything from TV commercials to the film scores of spy movies.
