DADA - Puzzle - Remastered, Expanded NAT BIRCHALL and Louisiana native Dirk PowellThere is a long list of early '90s albums that were unjustly overlooked in the wake of the eras grunge explosion. When it comes to alternative rock, Dadas 1992 album Puzzle belongs near the very top of that list. Psychedelia and sunny Southern California sounds are undercut by healthy scepticism particularly on Dizz Knee Land giving Puzzle the enigmatic quality suggested by its title, an impression reinforced by its Rorschach inspired cover artwork.
