Song: At Your Mother's House
Artist: Rachael & Vilray

They have very much captured that mid-century hot-club vocalist jazz sound. Quite nice if you go in for that kind of thing.

Song: Doctor! Doctor!
Artist: Thompson Twins

This remains comically bad. I don't care how much 15-year-old-me would dispute this conclusion.

Song: Stack-a-Lee
Artist: The Trojans with Prince Buster

The Trojans? Just harmless mid-80s ska fun. Prince Buster? A goddam treasure. Together? A delight.

I'm old enough to have bought John Kongos' original as a new release and laughed at the Happy Mondays version. This however, is fabulous. Original Gravity Records produce some great stuff!

Song: Diversions 5
Artist: Art of Noise

*thump* *thump* *thump* *thump* *thump*

I've found this period of Art of Noise hypnotic since I was 14 years old.
