Jeannette Lambert Lone Jack Pine (Rant/SRI) The vocalist/poet is joined by Barre Phillips and Michel Lambert. For the intellectually alert--heady! 9.5 (LD)

Lenola Treat Me To Some Life (File 13) A flawed but overall successful '60s/'90s psychedelic grunge pop experiment. 7.5 (LC)

Jetenderpaul Presents the Modal Lines (Burnt Toast) Layered, wobbly psych-pop--like listening through a stained-glass window. 7 (RB)

Death By Stereo Day of the Death (Epitaph/Sonic Unyon) Imagination returns to H.C. instead of mere grunting along. Not bad. 7 (JC)

The Ataris End Is Forever (Kung Fu/Outside) You like Chixdiggit? Then you like the Ataris--and I hate you. 4 (JC)

Delerium Poem (Nettwerk) Fetch your hobbit cloak and enchanted walking stick, it's electronica for the macramé/medieval-fair set. 3 (RB)
