Artist Biography by Michael Sutton

Maids of Gravity briefly floated into the public consciousness with the hallucinogenic "Only Dreaming" in 1995, a track from their self-titled debut album. Maids of Gravity formed in the early '90s by Ed Ruscha (vocals, guitar) after he left Medicine. Named after a group Ruscha saw in a dream, the L.A.-based Maids of Gravity recorded their first full-length in 1994 for Vernon Yard Records. Also featuring guitarist Jim Putnam (also formerly of Medicine) and drummer Irwin, Maids of Gravity's neo-psychedelic sound countered the grunge trend of the early '90s, but "Only Dreaming" was the only song that was able to penetrate the heap of Nirvana and Pearl Jam clones. Nevertheless, it was enough to get Maids of Gravity invited to radio-station festivals and opening slots for Bush and Matthew Sweet. In 1996, the band hired Velvet Underground legend John Cale to produce their next album, The First Second. On The First Second, Maids of Gravity ventured further into acid rock, weaving otherworldly lyrics with drugged-out guitar jams. Eugene Gorester (guitar) and Mark Kay (bass) were added to the group. Maids of Gravity released Strange Channel in 2000.

Artist Biography by Eduardo Rivadavia

A byproduct of the increasingly incestuous East Coast stoner rock scene, Murder 1 were formed in 1995 and made their debut two years later with the cleverly titled Shopping for Porn LP. Just as irreverent, 1999's American Junkie featured song titles like "You F*cked My Girlfriend" and "We Sold Our Sperm for Rock & Roll," offsetting a more serious obsession with J.R.R. Tolkien, made evident by songs like "Helm's Deep" and "Flight of the Nazgul." In 2003, the much-delayed On High saw new singer Will Naga (ex-Novena) joining Murder 1's colorfully named lineup of Iceberg (guitar), Job the Raver (bass), Boy Toy (piano, keys), and Bram Phetamine (drums).

HELIOS CREED Planet X 1994

Review by Murrday Fisher

Helios Creed has a favorite schtick for his album covers -- deliberately cheesy science fiction images. The giant shrimp with cowboy hat, bandana, and sixshooters on the cover of the 1994 release Planet X is one of the more fun, playful ones. Inside, listeners will find more of the grinding, intentionally discordant sounds typical of his grunge/industrial fusion, with the sci-fi theme carrying through into the titles, from "Dog Star" to "Kurt Zombie" to "First Encounter." Effects include the strange double-echoing spoken overlaps on "The Ascent," which add a strong dash of surreal to the mixture. It seems thematically appropriate that this is released on the Amphetamine Reptile label.
