Get ready because here
come the Replicants, with
their newest tape self titled and
in stores now.
The Replicants’ newest
CD took shape over the last
four years. The Replicants are
a metamorphosis of members
of Tool, Failure and the “iconic
figments of a pop-culture un
conscious.”
The Replicants CD is
made up of covers of other
groups ranging from the
“anglo-androgony” of David
Bowie to the “American-man,”
Neil Young.
The group did a good job
on Neil Young’s ‘‘Cinnamon
Girl”, which was my favorite
song. They also did a good
cover of Paul McCartney’s
“Silly Love Songs,” this was
one of the better songs on the
CD.
The members of the
Replicants were already famil
iar with each other as LA acts
as far back as early ’91. Tool
and Failure laid the ground
work for the Replicants over
the course of Tool’s rise to
Platinum success.
After sharing a brief west
coast tour in ’92, Tool invited
Failure on their post
Lollapalooza world tour sup
porting Undertow. Now mem
bers of both bands play to
gether, combining their influ
ences into an “eclectic” collec
tion of covers. That is sure to
please fans of both Tool and
Failure.
The Replicants CD came
out on Nov. 21 and is in stores
now. The CD is produced by
Zoo Entertainment and is
worth picking up.
I was a little skeptical
about this CD when it was
given to me, because I had
never heard of the Replicants.
But I was surprised by
how good it sounds and how
smoothly their music flows
through out the tape.
The members of the
Replicants meld together to
make some really good songs.

“I feel constant motion,” she
said. “The walls look like they’re

“It’s an honor,” she said.
“It’s very exciting.

said, “but it wasn’t until Phi

Voelker was in the seventh
grade when a fight broke out be
tween two boys and a book was
thrown. She was hit in the
temple, dropping her to the
ground. As a result, the next three
to four weeks were spent in bed
suffering nausea, dizziness and
vertigo. The doctors were not sure
what was causing the symptoms.
They attributed her condition to
a concussion.
