Deserted (Bloodshot Records). Review by James Mann.
The World of Captain Beefheart (Knitting Factory Records). Review by Bob Pomeroy.

Ersatz G.B. (Cherry Red Records). Review by James Mann.
Seconds Late for the Brighton Line (ROIR). Review by Robert Sutton.
Your Future Our Clutter (Domino). Review by Matthew Moyer.
