12" /
Dot Allison / "Substance" b-w "Lo-Fi Love
Song" & "Substance (Felix Da Housecat mix)" / Mantra
Records
Dot Allison has re-engineered herself to make a splash in the electroclash
world causing such a stir this Summer. She has cropped her hair and made
friends with the electronic beat.

CD5 / Beachbuggy
/ Kickin' Back EP / Poptones
Four new songs (plus "Kickin' Back" from their Sport Fury
album) which continue along in the Fall-meets-Pixies vein quite competently.

CD / various / Brazilian
Beats 3 / Mr. Bongo
This compilation has a bit of everything for everybody, and to my ears
only has 4 bad songs (tracks 5,6,10 and 11) - the rest are real keepers
or just very interesting to hear on a compilation.

Korda / When It Rains EP / International DeeJay Gigolo Records
Tech-house styled electro with a true jazzy element thrown in overtop
with a funky edge.

CD / Mama Guitar
/ In Mama Guitar Style / Füenfundvierzig
A rockin' mix of Beat/British Invasion and US Girl Group (ala Shangri-las)
and teen pop with a dollop of Mod thrown in for good measure. At times
they sound like the Detroit Cobras with the R&B knob turned down.

CD5 / Mum &
Dad / Kiss Of Death EP / Twisted Nerve
Mum & Dad have the best elements of Canada's Pest 5000, Boston's
The Phenomenological Boys, and (believe it or not) mid-70's Hawkwind.
I really love this band.
