    Plastic D'Amour

    CD / 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.

    Wah!

    CD / 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.

    AGF

    CD / Head Slash Bauch / Orthlong Musork
