LIMESPIDERS THE CAVE COMES ALIVE (import) With perhaps oneof the most lurid album sleeves to be forced upon the general public in recent years, the Lime Spiders spew forth their debut Ip, thrashing out a sound guaranteed to break your speakers & your balls, with masses of guitar, much feedback, a bit of screaming & even a tune here & there. The sleeve design is probably just down to the mindaltering qualities of too much sun & Castlemaine XXXX .. . these clean-living boys are from Australia. Jello Biafra, the Dead Kennedys vocalist, likes them lots. This says a great deal.

WARRENZEVON SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE “The good news is that not only are Zevon’s wacked-out sensibilities intact, but that he's come up with a batch of songs you’d have to go back to his 1976 debut to match . . . the tunes are as solid as the rhythms & his wry word sense constantly bubbles to the surface... It's nice to have Warren Zevon back on the turntable.” Colin Hogg NZ Herald.

BLOOD UNCLES LIBERTINE(import) If ‘Blue Velvet’ were a group & not a film it might well be the Blood Uncles. Hailing from Edinburgh, the Blood Uncles’ music is afurious collision of sound —punk, rock & psychotic blues join forces in a violent assault on the senses. The Blood Uncles write songs about life’s nasty side, such as the car crash voyeurs in ‘Crash’, loosely based on J.G. Ballard's novel, the sexual perverts of ‘Under Your Heel’, & the AIDS terrorist, Danny’. A more satisfying purge for the current state of wimpery it would be impossible to imagine.

T’PAU BRIDGEOFSPIES Debut Ip from Shrewsbury six-piece, T’Pau, fronted by the dynamic Carol Decker. Contains 11 tracks, including their smash hit ‘Heart & Soul’. “Very impressive debut from this promising band. Discovered & produced by Roy Thomas Baker of the Cars & Queen renown, T’Pau is certainly a band to watch.” Music Week “Carol's vocals send shivers to places that I thought only Maria McKee knew about...” Sounds

THEDOLPHIN BROTHERS CATCH THE FALL (import) Steve Jansen & Richard Barbieri are The Dolphin Brothers. They were originally half of that well known group that split at the height of success — Japan. “The Dolphin Brothers’ emergence with ‘Catch The Fall’ radiates all the dignity you’d expect.. .embrace their amazing grace.” Melody Maker “ ‘Catch The Fall ’ stands as a relevant beacon of good taste & style, every bit as engaging & delicate as one could hope. Definitely a good one.” Music Week
