EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN
1991-2001: Strategies Against Architecture III (Mute) - by Anthony Cook - published 22/08/2002
Throughout their two-decade-long career I've somehow managed to remain largely ignorant of Einstürzende Neubauten's considerable output. Having first become aware of them in the 1980s through the reverential comments of artists like Nick Cave and Depeche Mode and the film-making of Wim Wenders, I've been familiarised with a few tracks over the years, but on the whole I can honestly say I'm approaching 'Strategies Against Architecture III' from a standpoint of total naiveté.

The Mothman Prophesies
from the spookier than thou dept. - by K of ThirdAngel - published 04/06/2002
Whatever you think this film is likely to be, you're probably wrong. It's been a long, long time since Richard Gere last did anything good, but this one is really nice. It's not a monster film - you never directly see the Mothman. It's as inconclusive as an episode of the X-Files, and as spooky as Ring. Possibly even spookier.

New Project/TDM/Jekyll Switch
Club 77 Saturday 18/5/2002 - by K of ThirdAngel - published 21/05/2002
New Project are an appropriate support band for Jekyll Switch. Apart from the stylistic traits they share (er... rockin' out, & c.) they are both fast, tight and professional outfits.

Scene But Not Here
from the walking-the-stick dept. - by Grampa K of Third Angel - published 13/01/2002
It came to me on New Year's Eve just how long I have been involved in this subculture, one way or another. Thinking back, I realised another thing: the "good old days" were in no way better than what we have now.

'The Music of Razors' Cameron Rogers
Penguin 2001 - by K of Third Angel - published 05/12/2001
It's rare for me to genuinely like a fantasy novel. They seem, on the whole, too formulaic - their characters too shallow, their outcomes too certain, their prose too awkwardly ornate. This one is different.
