Home, like Chicago, number all their recordings in order of their release, but don't expect any Peter Cetera-like vocalizing, 'cause that's pretty much where the similarity ends. Home is just as likely to derail one of their gorgeous melodies with an abrupt hiss of static as they are to allow you to wallow in it for seven minutes.The inebriated ending of "The Bogeyman" will make you think that you're listening to a warped piece of vinyl, but the delicate, twelve-string finger-picking of "Industry 2000" could easily belong to a classic rock song. While the brutal, rhythmic pounding of "Rebel Base" and "PS A.R." would be suitable accompaniment for an H.R. Giger-designed torture chamber, Home makes like an indie-rock George Winston on the beautiful, comforting, "Another Season." And just to make sure you can't nail them down, on "Our Blue Navy," they come across as a bug-eyed and drooling Return To Forever from, well, the nether regions. Each spin of this disc will reveal something new, as Home is a band rich in intelligence, humor and heart.
"Home may be the last great no-fi/lo-fi band to come slouching out of the primordial alterna-soup, ready to swap sonic gills for lungs and write the score to the millenium..."
Magnet (3-4/98, p.68)
"...plumbs the depths of indie experimentation with lo-fi noodling both resourceful and homespun. On NETHERREGIONS, the band throws in the kitchen sink to piece together and eclectic esthetic that's effortlessly rich..."
Option (3-4/98, p.92)
