Music from the Unrealized Film Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle (sometimes shortened to Dusk at Cubist Castle) is the debut studio album by the American band the Olivia Tremor Control, released on August 6, 1996, by Flydaddy Records. It is an eclectic album that encompasses a variety of genres, including indie pop, neo-psychedelia, and psychedelic pop.

The second half of the album features more experimental songs, influenced by drone music and musique concrète. When asked about the inclusion of these experimental songs, [John] Fernandes said: "We wanted to change the way people listen to music ... Make people who love the Beatles also appreciate John Cage." - Wikipedia

About to Choke is a 1996 album by Vic Chesnutt, an American singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who was known for his raw, expressive vocals. It was his fifth album overall and his first for a major label.

Review by Thom Owens

About to Choke appeared only a few months after the Vic Chesnutt tribute album Sweet Relief II, which meant that it received more attention in the media than most of his other records. However, it's likely that it would have been put into the spotlight anyway, since it is another exceptional set of songs, delivered with a gritty vulnerability that makes his music so affecting. Chesnutt's music is a little more textured and full-bodied on About to Choke than his previous albums, yet that adds depth and maturity to his music, which also means its one of his most accessible efforts.

Is the Actor Happy? is an album by the American folk rock musician Vic Chesnutt, released in 1995.

Pitchfork called the album "not just arguably his finest release, but also his most extroverted ... His subject isn't just himself, but also his place among friends and amid the sprawl of the South." - Wikipedia

The Language of Cities is the second studio album by Maserati, released in 2002.

Brad Haywood wrote for Pitchfork:

"... Though they don't break new ground, they walk field adeptly, boasting superior execution and occasionally impressive moments of fusion. "Being a President Is Like Riding a Tiger" is one of those moments, where a solo guitar meditates for three minutes until drums enter, hastening a Godspeed-like tempo and flavor. After another minute-and-a-half, the composition draws back, shifting gears to steel itself for crescendo: a recurrent two-measure melody carried by the bass alternates one measure in 16th notes and a full measure of rest. Spiraling above the bass are a pair of charged, supernal guitars that gradually swell as the bass modulates to play both the melody and the rests. At full bore and full volume, the band musters a powerful climax."

37:29:24 by Maserati, released on Allay Records in 2001.

Originally released in a very limited capacity in 2001, Maserati’s debut album finally gets reissued on all formats to commemorate the band’s 20th anniversary. Remastered from the original master tapes by Josh Bonati, 37:29:24 featured Maserati’s original lineup of Coley Dennis, Matt Cherry, Steve Scarborough, and Phil Horan, and includes many of the most placid and medicative moments in Maserati’s storied catalog – a darker, more pensive night drive than they would come to be known for on their later albums.

I don’t know what kind of reaction he expected wearing an SS Nazi uniform in public. Honestly it went better than I would’ve thought. I know a lot of people that would punch a Nazi without any regrets.
