Capsule review: Soul coughing - Ruby vroom (1995)

It's too late now to discover Soul Coughing. The luster is gone. But, in desolate nights, seeking oblivion of the now in memories, I listen mostly to the sample/keyboard work of M'ark de Gli Antoni and the brisk drumming of Yuval Gabay. ('Screenwriter's blues', 'Bus to Beelzebub', 'Janine').

Capsule review: Soul coughing - Irresistible bliss (1996)

Not everything that sounded good in the '90s survives intact. The jazz/indie rock grooves sound a little less natural, the hip speak (former bouncer at the Knitting Factory) almost unbearable now hipsters have poisoned the waters. Weird samples and keyboards still weird though. They're lucky I'm nostalgic.
