Various - GARDEN STATE (Music From The Motion Picture)

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2016/05/various-garden-state-music-from-motion.html

I never saw this movie before reviewing this, and after learning about this movie, I still never want to saw this movie.

SYNKRO - Changes

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2016/04/synkro-changes.html

Though not as steady of a clip leading up to this debut, Synkro has kept active to this day, still mostly peddling music in the singles department. Good for him, then.

CLAUDE YOUNG - Celestial Bodies

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2016/04/claude-young-celestial-bodies.html

I quipped about paying high Japanese import fees when I got this, but looking at its current resell value on the Discogs Marketplace, whatever that price was now seems like a savvy investment. :th1nk:

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND - The Best Of The Velvet Underground (Words And Music Of LOU REED)

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-velvet-underground-best-of-velvet.html

Well, which is it? TVU, or Lou, that's the focus here? Yeah, yeah, one can't exist without the other, but funny marketing on this little compilation, 'tis.

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM - Sound Of Silver

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/09/lcd-soundsystem-sound-of-silver.html

A review that's probably a little dated this far along, but what can you expect of nearly two-decade old writing? Especially when the content is as trendy as James Murphy's group has always been?

ATOMIC HOOLIGAN - Sex, Drugs, And Blah Blah Blah

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/07/atomic-hooligan-sex-drugs-and-blah-blah.html

Still no comeback. Still no resuscitation. Still no feelers in small side-projects on whether the modern scene might give these lads another crack at the can. Just bizarre how some acts can completely fall off the face of the world like these guys did while others keep chugging along based on decades old hits.

Various - I LOVE 1992: UNDERGROUND ANTHEMS

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2013/09/various-i-love-1992-underground-anthems.html

I didn't indulge Mixmag much, but the one time I did netted me this sweet little collection of classic #Rave tunes. Seriously, the opening salvo of ol' school #Hardcore will get ALL the nostalgia triggers flaring!
