Of Debut;1999
Assemblage 23: Tom Shear (vocals, various instruments).
Personnel: Tom Shear (vocals).
Tom Shears' debut release as Assemblage 23 is a powerful tour through a broken emotional landscape. Pulsing electro melodies hover over ethereal sweeps of sound and play against the sometimes complex rhythms and beats. On top of the layers of sound, Shears' rich vocals resurrect the notion of undistorted vocals in electro music.
The mix of moods varies, ranging from upbeat at the album's beginning ("Surface," one of the few tracks sporting vocal distortion), to melancholy minimalist ("Sun"), to plain scary (such as the pounding melodies of "Skyquake"). "Purgatory" has all the makings of a genre classic -- uplifting melody, contrast and complexity, and a stable dance beat. The three remixes at the end provide an interesting contrast and fresh perspective on the album, featuring artists from Pain Station and THD. Despite the album's strengths, some listeners may find that there isn't the variety of sound to hold their interest (arguably partly due to the mastering of the album, which at times can seem flat). This is the only weakness on an otherwise impressive debut album, which solidly puts Assemblage 23 on the map of electro music. ~ Theo Kavadias

Melvins: King Buzzo (vocals, guitar); Trevor Dunn (vocals, bass guitar); Dale Crover (vocals, drums).
Persuaded by the organizers of the alternative rock All Tomorrow's Parties festival to make a live re-recording of their remarkable 1993 release HOUDINI, the seminal grunge-metal hybrid the Melvins rose to the challenge, producing a set that equaled and in some cases improved on the original. Cuts like the opening "Pearl Bomb" and "Hooch" combine metal attack with grunge thrash, while the monolithic "Going Blind" shows what Kurt Cobain saw in them.
Despite quite a few so-called "grunge" albums rocketing to the top of the charts in the early '90s, there were several releases that somehow managed to slip through the cracks. Case in point, the Melvins' 1993 classic Houdini. Despite the album being one of their most succinct from a songwriting/playing point of view -- and not to mention parts being produced by old pal Kurt Cobain ...
