DJ Scissorkicks - Video Computer System (2Wars & a Revolution/Koch) Slaphappy digital disco with an unhealthy Atari fetish--right down to the knock-off Space Invaders packaging. 9/10

The Gossip - That's Not What I Heard (Kill Rock Stars) Yes, this is about as American '70s trash punk rock as you can get. 8/10

Godhead - 2000 Years of Human Error (Posthuman/EMI) Honing their craft for years in the underground, Godhead come with an album where heavy guitars and techno live in twisted symbiosis. 7/10

Various - Snatch Soundtrack (TVT/Universal) While Guy Ritchie's second go was as fun as Lock, Stock..., the collection of tunes to go with doesn't quite match up. 8.5/10

Musa Dieng Kala - Return of the Rock Vol. 2 (Attic/Song) Fortunately there are a half-dozen bright spots in this otherwise despicable assortment of sonic insults. 6/10

Honeyboy Edwards - Live At the Blue Note (DSM/Unidisc) Now this is blues! Recorded in 1979 when he was 61 years old, Honeyboy lays down a simple guitar/vocal accompaniment that is guaranteed to give you goosebumps. 9.5/10
