Members

+/- (band)

+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.

Cadet (album)

Cadet is the first studio album by Cadet. BEC Recordings released the album on April 24, 2001. Cadet worked with producer, Neill King, in the production of this album.

Critical reception

Awarding the album three stars from CCM Magazine, David McCreary states, "this band's self-titled debut achieves in a riveting and surprisingly mature first record." Steve Losey, giving the album four stars for AllMusic, writes, "Cadet offers a disc brimming with sweet melodies, hooky riffs, and simple lyrics that passionately declare truth." Rating the album a nine out of ten at Cross Rhythms, Mike Rimmer says, "More new wave power pop than old school punk, Cadet put some welcome subtlety into the mix and thus set themselves apart from the crowd." Bert Gangl, awarding the album a three out of five for The Phantom Tollbooth, opines, "Cadet album serves, at best, as a mixed blessing for either set of fans." Reviewing the album for Christianity Today, Andy Argyrakis describes, "Cadet's ability to freely express themselves in an easy to identify with manner is exactly where their niche lies. Granted, nothing they've written or played on the disc is breathtaking, monumental, or the next major wave of phenomenal success, but it's just good old fun—exactly what pop music is supposed to be."

Cadet (shipwreck)

The Cadet shipwreck is an archaeological site located in Lake George near Bolton in Warren County, New York. It is the site of the shipwreck of the 1893-built Olive ex Cadet steam launch. It was a 48-foot-long, 9.6-foot-wide wooden steamboat with a pointed bow, and was found submerged in approximately 50 feet of water. The ship was discovered by Bateaux Below Inc. in 1997. In 2005, the ship was reported to be in fairly good condition, with its hull mainly intact.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
