V/A – Wicked City – CD (Velvel Recordings) A movie soundtrack filled with the musings of New York punk bands. Well, I wouldn’t really say punk bands. Most of them sounded like metal cover bands trying out the alternative sound. There were a few stand...

V/A – The Ice Storm – CD (Velvel Recordings) Two songs on this release are actually part of the score with the remaining songs being late 60′s early 70′s tunes including one by Bowie and one by Zappa. Overall I found the soundtrack to be...

Trevor Jones – Desperate Measures – CD (Velvel Recordings) This is more of a score than a soundtrack since it is all orchestra and mood music. The music is very dramatic and I’m sure it fits in well with this film starring Micheal Keaton and Andy...

Burkhard Dallwitz – The Truman Show – CD (Milan Records / BMG) Burkhard Dallwitz did write most of the music on this score however, Philip Glass lent his talents to a few tracks and it helps make this a really great score. Most of the songs have a dark and...

V/A – Shreds Volume 5 American Underground 90-92 – CD (Shredder Records) I really love this CD, but hey I’m really biased since my old band (The Oxymorons!) is the first band on this comp. I will say that we were powerful energetic punk-pop. The...

V/A – Shreds Volume 4 American Underground 96 – CD (Shredder Records) It was a bit rough listening to this c.d. at first, but after playing it few more times some of the songs seem to get more tolerable. Many of the songs seemed watered down, weak and...

V/A – Pawn – Cassette (Opulence!) Low budget recording of some really good real college alternative rock bands which brings back the late eighties – early ninties to me. Fun music made for fun. It sounds like they’re having a great time and...

V/A – No Brakes – CD (Interscope Records) Unwritten Law starts this off with a cool hard rock punk-popish song. Ozomatli then step up with a song that blends reggae, rap and latin rhythms and is smooth as silk. Next up is Wade who play a really cool...
