...collaborative effort between childhood friends Christian Lane (guitars and vocals), Tommy Furar (bass) and drummer Mark Doyle, Loud Lucy hails from Chicago. Since Loud Lucy's formation while Lane and Furar were still in high school, the band has gained a reputation as one of Chicago's most popular unsigned bands in recent years. In 1995, they released their debut, Breathe, proving that they could make the transition from live shows to the studio...
Amos also has begun experimenting with new drum arrangements with Alan Friedman. The quasigrunge/industrial sound of "Professional Widow" has already been compared to the likes of Courtney Love. Her work with percussionist Mino Cinelu and drummer Manu Katche on "Talula" and "In the Springtime of his Voodoo" impresses with its interesting touches...

These films, forerunners to Toy Story, ingeniously show that things have wills and wits of their own and exist in intimate relation to their human masters. They're funnier...
