Crash Test Dummies had
the song of the summer

From page 32
Young fan will appreciate Arc,
which takes the wailing resoliiions
of a number of the songs appear:
ing on Weld and strings them
together for a sustained wall of
finger-tlexing sound,
Animal Slaves — A Fine End,
Spiral Records
Elizabeth Fischer slinks through
a predatory world. Obsessive
thoughts of flesh and deception
raitle and cut. Funky, skittish
guitar and resonant keyboard
undertones have us ail siaves to
the rhythm with repeated listen-
ing.
The Beautiful South — Choke,
Go! Discs/PolyGram
Deliciously perverse pop revela-
tions. The Beautiful South, a
Housemartins spin-off, produce a
pack of melodies you can whistle
while you work — that is until the
lyrical irony sets in. Honey-throats
Paul Heaton and Briana Corrigan
make for some lovely lilting.
Bob Marley & The Wailers —
Talkin’ Biues, Island Records/
A&M
The best of this session is taken
from a recording made live in stu-
dio at the Record Plani in Sausalito
- for radio broadcast in 1973. It's
‘muscular and essential reggae,
stripped of engineered refine-
ments. The ghost of Marley is with
_US to Stay.
“Linda Ronstadt —~ Mas Can-

ciones, Elektra

Unadulierated bravura,
Ronstadt’s Mexican tryst bubbles
with mariachi passion, joy and
drama. The pop diva’s sweeping
vocal range and sheer lung-pow er
truly dazzic.

Public Enemy — Apocalypse
91... The Enemy Strikes Back,
Columbia/Sony

Chuck D. Flavor Flav and Ter-
minetor X crank out the rapping
goods with unmatched ferocity.
Chet Saker — The Last Great
Concert (My Favourite Songs
Vol. i and Vol. [!, Justin Time
Records

The trumpeter who give voice
to the cool-blue West Coast jazz
style has much to tell us of quiet
passion. Baker’s buttery trumpet
blows classics live in concert in
Hannover Germany with a Nord-
deutschen Rundfunks big band
and orchestra just two weeks prior
to his death.

Crash Test Dummies ~— The
Ghosts That Haunt Me, BMG

The debut from this Winnipeg-
based foursome is something
special. Supermar’s Sang became
the song of the surimer but the
release is rich with insightful lyrics
and lithe melodies.

Lead singer and songwriter Brad
Roberts has a knack for turning
out quietly humorous, melan-
cholic little stories about the big
issues — life, love and death.
