CD / Plastic D'Amour / debut / Siesta

A six song e.p. on the Siesta label, with beautiful artwork and beautiful melodies. This cd reminded me a lot of the first Autour De Lucie album.

CD / Iggy & The Stooges / Raw Power (Iggy production) Columbia

CD / Wah! / Nah = Poo - The Art Of Bluff / Castle Music

. Wah! have a great guitar based sound, and this record sounds even better with the 7 bonus tracks added. Four songs from early singles, an NME tape, and two Ian Broudie (Big In Japan, Lightning Seeds) mixes.

CD / AGF / Head Slash Bauch / Orthlong Musork

Antye Greie-Fuchs is the vocalist of the Kitty-yo band Laub. Each of these tracks have Antye's voice prominent, accompanied by sounds that remind me of a cyberpunk novel where the heroine has to live in a hacked together safehouse in an inhospitable environment.
