Lido
Every once in a while, a modern rock masterpiece slips through the cracks, usually because it's hard to buy the hype in the English press. But Th' Faith Healers deserve every overwrought accolade they've gotten. The American version of the band's first album,Lido(Elektra), includes 10 subtly different trance-inducing drones, each based on a solid "Sister Ray" groove and featuring Roxanne's vocals as a sweet contrast to the shambolic guitar noise.--Jim DeRogatis
