Interviews
Ben Arp - Crunch PodCrunch Pod is an American industrial music label and online web store currently based near Sacramento, California. Crunch Pod, the label, began in 1998 and has grown from a small, limited edition only CDR label to the home to such acts as Caustic, C/A/T, Cervello Elettronico and Manufactura.

Susan Matthews - Hope BoundMore positive in mood than Matthews' previous albums but, while the sound is generally more polished, the intensity of feeling and experimental qualities are all still there. Matthews continues to go from strength to strength with each release, offering something new and interesting every time.

JapaneseCARCRASH - BADmachineTexan musician Casey LeBleu, being neither Japanese nor sounding anything like a car crash, fortunately, has produced plenty of quite enjoyable synthpop moments.

Plastic Violence - Dog SeriesDuring the Chinese year of the dog, Italian experimentalists Plastic Violence released twelve monthly mini-CD singles with canine-themed covers. The tracks are an interesting bunch, generally pretty lo-fi, and Plastic Violence aren't afraid to add noise to the mix.

Six Twilights - Six TwilightsVery gentle and ever so slightly folky experimental electronica mostly dominated by manipulated voices and backed up by minimal loops possibly generated by guitars more often than synths. All lovely stuff, just as long as you're not easily bored and you can allow sentimental feelings for simple things.

Concise - Revive / Flaque - Mindscapes / X_Dynamics - Regular Loader RoutineThree full-length CDs, by three bands that don't really have much in common, packaged together for about the price of one album. Good value, you might say, but what's the point, even though there's plenty of folks out there who will like the sound of this collection?

FrightDoll - Reference VersionYou don't even have to listen to this album to tell it's going to be awful. The fact that it's released on an eponymous record label sets alarm bells ringing, as does the dubious imagery of FrightDoll posing smugly in PVC attire over a generic black and red background of circuitry and stars.
