Gore Beyond Necropsy Noise A Go Go (Relapse) 59 times the pain. 59 songs in 24 minutes! Brutal Truth is Michael Bolton compared to these guys. 59 (JC)

Alice Coltrane A Monastic Trio (Impulse!/Universal) Hot damn, a fresh batch of "New Thing" freaky jazz re-issues! This is just one of 'em! 9 (RB)

Bodega Bring Yourself Up (Slash/London) Remixed major-label re-release of Andrew Rodriguez's (ex-Stellar Dweller) new prog-pop stance. 8 (CY)

El Caminos Reverb Explosion (Del-Fi/Fusion III) Brutally raunched-out surf from Japan, comparable to our own Treblemakers. 8 (RB)

Throwing Muses In a Doghouse (Ryko/Outside) The still brill first album, the Chains Changed EP, the earlier Doghouse cassette and even older songs just recorded in '96. 8 (CY)

Flat Duo Jets Lucky Eye (Outpost/Universal) Stripped-down roots rock gets dressed up... in a pair of white speedos and tube socks. Blech! 4 (JC)

The Flys Holiday Man (BMG) Attention babes: rockin' "dudes," keen on "extreme sports," wish to be "sponsored." 2 (RB)

Eric Marienthal Walk Tall (Verve/PolyGram) A tribute (?) to Julian "Cannonball" Adderley that probably has him spinning in his grave. 0 (LD)
