Bow Down To The Exit Sign

Bow Down To The Exit Sign

by David Holmes
July 21, 2000
Former British club DJ David Holmes has been building a name for himself as a composer of soundtracks both real (Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight") and imaginary (the previous Holmes albums 'Let's Get Killed' and 'This Film's Crap, Let's Slash The Seats). 'Bow Down' continues that tradition by forming the soundtrack to an as-yet-unproduced screenplay, although it is clearly more song-oriented than its predecessors. Jon Spencer, Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), and Martina Topley-Bird (best known for her work on Tricky's albums) are among the guest vocalists.

The Noise Made By People

The Noise Made By People

by Broadcast
April 18, 2000
Although the Birmingham, England band has been recording and performing since 1995, 'The Noise Made By People' marks their official full-length debut (following 1997's singles compilation 'Work And Non-Work'). In the UK, the group is signed to Warp Records (although they don't sound too much like the other bands on Warp's all-electronic roster).

Midnite Vultures

Midnite Vultures

by Beck
November 16, 1999
Beck's "official" follow-up to 'Odelay' is an even more eclectic mix of soul, electro, funk, folk, rock, and hip-hop, including more than one song that sounds an awful lot like Prince.

Play

Play

by Moby
June 1, 1999
Although techno artist Moby had been on the scene for almost a decade and had released five albums, his fame had chiefly been limited to his club hit "Go" back in 1991. 'Play' changed all that, however, garnering a sea of critical and popular acclaim for the artist. A mix of styles (including deviations into blues and gospel), 'Play' also has the unique distinction of having all 18 of its tracks licensed for use in film, television and advertising.
