Pop/Rock

Annika Henderson's self-titled debut is a striking introduction to the unlikely but fascinating collision of sounds and deadpan cool she expanded on later with the band Exploded View. Though Anika's songs are mostly (brilliantly chosen) covers, the album's collisions of post-punk, dub, and girl group pop are unmistakably hers.

Wax Doctor

Selected Works

March 2, 1998

Jungle/Drum'n'Bass

Smooth, jazzy drum'n'bass from the genre's mid-'90s glory days. Wax Doctor never released his long-promised album, but this collection compiles the best of his singles for R&S, Metalheadz, and Talkin' Loud. The title of the first track, "Atmospheric Funk," says it all.
