To contact Fast 'n' Bulbous email
DO NOT email unsolicited links to watermarked downloads unless a secure user account and password is used.

Since October 1995, Fast 'n' Bulbous has been a one man operation, a labor of love rather than profit venture. I maintain an editorial policy of publishing mainly positive reviews, with the idea that people should be turned on to the best music. I only review what I feel like because I don't get paid for it.
The only drawback to this site is the drain on my resources. I mostly still buy the CDs of the majority of albums I review. And while I try to mostly review the cream of the crop, I have listened to thousands upon thousands of albums ranging from average to vomit-inducing, so that you don't have to. While you spend your valuable time having a life, furthering your education, raising a family, making a real living, having fun, I take the bullet, sacrificing my time suffering through the pabulum to unearth the gems.

This Spring’s Album Rundown
Although I’d been busy this year digging deep into 80s post-punk/dark wave and 70s psych-prog and co-running the ILM 1970s album poll, and haven’t reviewed any new albums yet, I have been listening. It has been a slow start this … Continue reading
New Album of the Week: Troubled Horse – Step Inside
The Swedish heavy rock scene is on fire this year, with at least nine albums most likely making my top 50. Troubled Horse consist of Jens Henriksson (drums) and John Hoyles (guitar) who were original members of Witchcraft, and Ola Henriksson … Continue reading
Golden Void
Golden Void’s addition to the Thrill Jockey roster has for some reason been regarded as a surprise, as the label was generally associated with avant rock and art pop releases that have been highly regarded in the indie rock community … Continue reading
New Album of the Week: Graveyard – Lights Out
When Graveyard released their career-defining second album Hisingen Blues last year, the last thing I expected was an immediate followup that’s even better. Most bands seem to take an average of at least three years between albums these days. More … Continue reading
New Album of the Week – My Sleeping Karma – Soma
I already wrote about My Sleeping Karma in last week’s Album Rundown, but their fourth and latest album Soma haunted me to the extent that I got the disc to dig deeper into the sound. The path that lead me to … Continue reading
New Album of the Week: Spiders – Flash Point
I’ve been raving about Spiders all year since I heard their self-titled EP and wrote about them in Metal Sirens. Despite originally having members from both Graveyard and Witchcraft, Spiders mostly leaves the proto-doom sounds behind, favoring high energy garage … Continue reading
New Album of the Week: Witchcraft – Legend
When Magnus Pelander formed Witchcraft twelve years ago to record a one-off tribute to Pentagram and The 13th Floor Elevators, he probably did not envision how things would take off. After being signed to Lee Dorian’s (of doom band Cathedral) … Continue reading
