| | Rikki & the Last Days of Earth : Four Minute Warning - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | The opening lines say it all: "My name's Rikki Sylvan and these are the Last Days of Earth." And though you still don't know whether he was referring to his band, or to the end of the world, at the time it really didn't matter. |
 | | Of course, Four Minute Warning's antecedents bleed all over the floor. |
 | | Bowie, the Velvet Underground, Roxy Music, Doctors of Madness -- anyone, in fact, who has prophesied disaster from atop a spiky, raunchy roar built on the shifting sands of angst, anger, and alienation. |
