Review (in 1996):

Refreshingly devoid of PRattle about the David Geffen Company and its paper-pushing minions, this promo site puts the spotlight where it belongs: on the artists. Weezer, Nirvana, and Sonic Youth are among the so-hip-it-hurts acts featured here.

Folders for more than 20 bands contain whimsical biographies ("Like a demonic Energizer bunny possessed by a superhuman work ethic, White Zombie keeps going and going"), sound clips, and videos (see Courtney Love's "Doll Parts" in action at the Hole page).

The Geffen folks have a good sense of humor, too. The "Vintage 80s" folder greets visitors with text in a ghastly, archaic font. "No, you didn't launch telnet by accident", reads the narrative. "In the true spirit of nostaligia, we wanted to... remind you how lame computers looked in the 80s".

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
