UNIV: SAL ALTEMATIVE

Ink/EIR IN OTHER WORDS... Congratulations to one of Alternative World's favorite people, Atlantic's very own Kris Metzdorf ALICE IN CHAINS "No Excuses" (Columbia) ties the knot with long time beau Chuck Arnold. Free Bratwurst for everyone! Seriously, all the best. Hot Tips: TORI AMOS "God" (Atlantic) CHANT The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos (Angel) - Have you heard the buzz on this one yet. In less than a month it's already platinum! I overheard KROQ's Kevin & Bean talking BECK "Loser" (Bongload/Geffen) about how quickly this record has sold. Call me for more info, this won't be the last time you hear about it. CRASH TEST D's "Mmm, Mmm..." (Arista) INFECTIOUS GROOVES Violent & Funky (BHG Musick/550 Music/Epic) - WOW! This is as funky as it gets. Incredible musicianship (the drummer's only 16 years old), production and performance gets this the big thumbs up. When you feel the need to go funk yourself, put it on and ENIGMA "Return To Innocence" (Virgin) crank it up. You won't be disappointed. This groove really is infectious, over 7,700 sold in the last two weeks. FRENTE "Bizarre Love Triangle" (Mammoth) MESSIAH - Thunderdome (American) -LIVE105 gets saved this week and adds Messiah to fulltime rotation. So does X96, 89X and WHTG. If your looking for uptempo music with energy and a hook MORRISSEY "The More You..." (Sire/Reprise) for balance, add Thunderdome. Should a record like this come around only once every 2000 years? NINE INCH NAILS Closer (Nothing/TVT/InterscopeffAG) - What can I say that already hasn't NINE INCH NAILS "March..." (Int.) been said. This record is awesome. The edit takes care of that messy little f -word problem, opening up an around -the -clock slot for this incredibly innovative artist. BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE If 60's Was 90's (Continuum) - Look for an amazing remix on this one by SOUNDGARDEN 'Superunknown"(A&M) PM Dawn. This record has been out for over 14 weeks and continues to grow. The remix should help to take this one over the top. Ask anyone who's really playing this record about the requests and sales that they are seeing in their markets. MILLA Gentleman Who Fell (SBK/ERG) - This record has really taken off. A nice melodic, familiar THE FUTURE sounding song to balance out the hard stuff. I know I've written about her for over 4 weeks now, but some 1-PRETENDERS crushes just won't go away. GIGOLO AUNTS Cope (RCA) - What a fantastic album. The harmonies and hook on this single make it "Night In My Veins" (Warner Bros.) very easy to "Cope" with on your station. Very energetic performance with a lot of heart The opening track is 2. STAKKA BO "Cope" and the closing track is "Flippin' Out". There must be a lot going on in between. "Here We Go" (PLG) GIN BLOSSOMS Until I Fall Away (A&M) - KEGE and WENZ join the heavy hitters this week and adding "Until I Fall Away". Look for a big week with Top 40...Z100 is already playing it. 3. NINE INCH NAILS Records you must check out: "Closer" (Nothing/TVT/lnterscope/TAG) TORI AMOS Cornflake Girl (Atlantic), RUST Rust (Atlantic), VANILLA TRAINWRECK 4. COLLECTIVE SOUL Mordecai (Mammoth). "Shine" (Atlantic) Kurt Cobain and Nirvana's music was instrumental in bringing alternative music to the masses. Although I never personally knew him, his music will always be with me and the millions of fans 5. DIG who really got this band. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest.
