Galore, a smattering of tracks from past albums, is a good intro- duction to her if you are among the many who need one. The Beautiful South — Carry On Up The Charts, Go! Discs 1994 By gosh, these ironically bril- liant U.K. poppers do carry on up the charts with this gathering of Beautiful South singles. The group is into its fifth year together and was formed by Paul Heaton and Dave Hemingway. The duo headed south on the heels of the disintegration of The Housemartins, a more frenetic expression of the Heaton-Hemingway creative collab- oration. For a limited time Carry On Up The Charts is selling as a double disc. The extended play offers nuggets such as a cover of the maudlin Bee Gees’ song / Started A Joke as well as a live take of the eerie Beautiful South debut track Woman In The Wall. What is so consistently beautiful about this group, as the retrospec- tive bears out amply, is the delicious ~ tension inherent to each song. Sure melodic sense married to the harmonic warblings of Heaton, Hemingway, Jacqueline Abbott and former band member Briana Corrigan, make the South sound breezy. Satiric sniper fire from the sesual-polities front, and often bru- tal insight about love craziness inject an carthy modicum of ugly. it's a fine tension and they pull it off with the kind of nasty aplomb the British generally manage so well. Portishead — Dummy, Go! Discs 1994 Hype is in plentiful supply and therefore often suspect for those brash young pop thingies full of snot, spit and ready angst. But when you read Billboard Magazine's big buzz about “lyrics that make vintage music from Joy Division and The Smiths sound like prose from .a Hallmark greeting card” you pre- pare yourself for something truly devastating. Yet Portishead, from Bristol England, is less about lyrics and more about well-crafted foreboding atmospherics and resigned melan- cholia.
