Direct Drive - Don't Depend On Me / Time Machine (Oval)

First, I must declare my interest: this is out on Oval, where I work my day shift. But other people in more objective positions...notably the dee jays on the pirate soul stations, and Robbie Vincent on Radio London - have praised the band's deft touch, with some of them liking the catchy "Don't Depend On Me" and the rest preferring the jazzier "Time Machine". Between them, they have helped to give Oval its first disco chart hit. (Charlie Gillett, Smash Hits, February 4, 1982)
