Dick Tracy tunes disappoint

ANG BANG, Dick Tracy tunes shoot from the lip and
in all directions; Soul H Soul simmers; Queen Latifah
rules the mike; EQ sets up hause to rap this burg.

Various Artists — Dick Tracy,
Sire/WEA 1990

Disney’s Dick, he who has beea
assigned the task of clipping Bat-
man’s wings on the bip screen, is
both grist for the American
myth-making mill and 4 classy
vehicie for lucrative spin-off pro-
ducts.

The problem with this selection
of music from the movie, anda
couple of other songs thrown in
the pot for goor! measure. is that

The older folk who caught Tracy
in his original inccznation will be
in its cynical attempt to push all disappointed by the degeneration
possible demographic buttons, it of a collection of ersatz 1930s
fails to hold together as a coherent — songs into a mess of bad rap,

Youngish fans, yearning for a
touch of Madonna's pectoral an-
tics, wen’t find her on this one and
will probably yawn through the
"30s museum pieces,

That said, there are a couple of
yems here: Ridin’ The Rails by k.d.
lang and Take 6, the indestructible
Jerry Lee Lewis’ two versions of it
Was The Whiskey Talkin’ (Not
Me), and a sassy You're In The
Doghouse Now, by the also in-
destructible Brenda Lee.

Soul I] Soul — Vol 1!-1990-A New
Decade, Virgin/A&M 1990

London pop culture fabricators
Jazzie B and Neilie Hooper
dedicate this one “‘to the most
high” and in the process put out a

convincing follow-up to their
smasheroo multi-million selling

debut, Keep On Movin’.

While brashly derivative, the
Soul It Soul synthesis, part hip
hop, reggae, African and jazz,
pulis off the trick of developing a
sound unique unto itself,

Subtie quirks peppered
throughout a thick slathering of
slick edd prit to this urbane dance
music — kind of like sonic chunky
peanut butter,

A cast of smooth vocalists and
jazz Sax man Courtney Pine add
finesse to a formidable groove.
Queen Latifah -— Ail Hail The
Queen, Tommy Boy/PolyGram
1989

A dynamite debut. The Queen
(Dana Owens) and her rapping
minions The Flavor Unit, De La
Soul, D} Mark The 45 King and

Boogie Down Production’s KRS
One, exude street brawn and
streetwise brain.

Right smartly sanipled, Latifah’s
playful gig is big on beat. Mean-
while, the tun factor is optimum
on the Prince Paul-produced
Mama Gave Birth To The Soul
Children, The queen toasts her
way through the rest assertiveiy
and with much royal badness,

Ina field crowded with overt
misogynist, she’s a most welcome
blast in the ear.

EQ — Put Your Body In it (12-
inch maxi-single), Infinite Beat
Record Corp. 1990

A promising initial foray into the
increasingly crowded hip house
neighborhood.

Put Your Body In Itcomes in
two versions. Both should have
sub-woofers palpitating thanks to
an abundance of pummelling bass
bombs and ,jcnty of scratch and
sample. But the backing tracks on
the disc drop the pace set by the
single.
