Album of the Year: Eraserheads' Ultraelectromagneticpop!
This late in the year, it's a safe bet to say that my
choice as the best local album for 1993 is Ultraelectromagneticpop,
the major-label debut by the Eraserheads (BMG/Musiko). Nothing this year comes
close. The record is pure manic pop thrill; its heady brew of hook-filled,
well-written pop will leave you giddy for days. Despite sporting one of the
most "curious" mixes in a major label release (guitar and vocal mixes you
wouldn't believe), the Eraserheads have produced a most unself-concious debut
that will surely become the benchmark for local alternative music into the
90's...
