New York: Mar 1998., Iss. 242; pg. 28, 1 pgs [No Day] Document types: Audio Review-Comparative (Freeworld) Smashing Pumpkins guitarist JAMES IHA has created a splendid surprise. His solo debut, Let It Come Down is a bright valentine floating on brilliantly realized guitar-drum-bass confections. Even his blues ("Jealousy" and "Winter") are filled with shimmying rays of melodious rock & roll. Apparently, Iha's fundamental optimism isn't getting much play in his day job. It should.
