Review by Brandi Dixzumore

Mind The Gap 99 is a compilation album that features various artists showcasing their unique musical styles. This album is a perfect blend of different genres, including alternative rock, hip hop, electronic, and experimental music. The album is a great representation of the diverse and eclectic music scene of the late 90s.

The album kicks off with the energetic and upbeat track "Narc" by Interpol, setting the tone for the rest of the album. Other notable tracks include "Ugly" by The Ex, which features a driving bassline and frenzied guitar riffs, and "Farewell Transmission" by Songs: Ohia, a haunting ballad that showcases the raw emotion of singer Jason Molina.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Pissing in a River" by Patti Smith, a powerful and emotional cover of the song originally performed by the late punk icon, Johnny Thunders. The song features Smith's signature poetic lyrics and soulful vocals, making it a highlight of the album.
