ALBUM REVIEW: ONE CAREFUL OWNER by MICHAEL BALL

With 12 tracks tasting 45 minutes, this is a really meaty album - and a brilliant one too.

Of the upbeat tracks, When We Began stands out, it's a truty uplifting song. Wherever You Are is one track on which he worked with Andrew Gold of 10cc. It's a real stunner.

Invest in a terrific voice & fine songs.

DEAR 'ZINE,

I am a punk/grunge/rock/metal fan, but I am fed up with people criticising rave. Ravers have incredible talent - the talent to tell one song from another!

They are wonderful artists, too. They're amazingly skilled in drawing cartoony men on every t-shirt, bag, hat, poster or whatever they can get their hands on.

Oooh! Who's bitter, then?

WE'RE RAVING! WE'RE RAVING!

 

ALBUM REVIEW: STACKED UP by SENSER

A cross between The KLF and Rage Against the Machine. Senser have a nice combination of metal, rap, funk and dance in their most original sound.

In some places here you have groovy dance instrumentals such as Door Game and Worth and in others you have loud metal moments like In States Of Mind and Peanuthead.

A promising debut.

Gordon Bennett, Hemel Hempstead

A NICE combo? NICE? Right.

HAVE A NICE DAY - WRITE IN RIGHT NOW

DEAR 'ZINE,

People who say rock will "win" are sadly mistaken. There are only so many noises you can make with six strings, four strings and a set of drums.

Even though there are many bands making fine music, electronic music is growing stronger and stronger with The Orb and Aphex Twin.

They have the advantage of being able to create an infinite variety of sounds, and seem more willing to incorporate other styles.

Great.

IT WON'T WIN, IT'LL LIVE FOREVER!
