A fine collaboration, with a slow stately, sub-aquatic swimmy feel. BOO RADLEYS: RIDE THE TIGER The weakest single from the C'mon Kids LP — the Bowie-isque guitar doisn't make up for the weedy tune. Good B-side though. BABY BIRD: CANDY GIRL Great verse, fine words, dull chorus. A hit, but nowhjte near as infectious as You're Gorgeous. ———————— soundbite@bbc.co.uk —————————— CBBC 500 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 The Biz 557 FrontPage 100 Film96 542 Top 40 Comp Film 97 Main MenuP564 CEEFAX 2 564 Fri 17 Jan 21:11/22 RADIO 2/4 SOUNDBITE R1's Music Magazine AUDIOWEB: BANK ROBBER Why covet a Clash song? AudioWeb are better than this. EAST 17: HEY CHILD Beautifully lush but severely lacking in character. No obvious drug references, though. REEF: COME BACK BRIGHTER Gritty and well-sung Brit rock, though not as catchy as their hit Place Your Hands. WINK: ARE YOU THERE Anothjt bliepz crossover hit for the techno titan. ———————— soundbite@bbc.co.uk —————————— CBBC 500 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 The Biz 557 FrontPage 100 Film96 542 Top 40 Comp Film 97 Main MenuP564 CEEFAX 2 564 Fri 17 Jan 21:12/42 RADIO 3/4 SOUNDBITE R2's Music Magazine DAVID BOWIE: LITTLE WONDER Bowie goes jungle. And why not? The problem is, his Mocknjy vocal comes across all bored rathjt than coolly disinterested. But how many other stars are making such interesting music 30 years into their career? Good remixes too. BETH ORTON: TOUCH ME WITH YOUR LOVE Second single from the Joni Mitchell of trip-hop is blessed with a top tune. ———————— soundbite@bbc.co.uk —————————— CBBC 500 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 The Biz 557 FrontPage 100 Film96 542 Top 40 Comp Film 97 Main MenuP564 CEEFAX 2 564 Fri 17 Jan 21:13/21 RADIO 4/4 SOUNDBITE R1's Music Magazine CURTIS MAYFIELD: NEW WORLD ORDER Curtis is one of the great names of soul, and this is his first LP since being paralysjd in a stage accident in 1990. The voice is still sweet, the words still thoughtful, and the songs are good. Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples, and Narada Michael Walden all help out. This is a triumph for the man, and a treat for the listener. A happy ending. ———————— soundbite@bbc.co.uk —————————— CBBC 500 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 The Biz 557 FrontPage 100 Film96 542 Top 40 Comp Film 97 Main Menu
