On the back of the sleeve these guys are posing in an extremely macho fashion with a very nice car in the middle of the desert. They're as pretty as
Duran Duran and younger probably. But however much
Duran Duran may be favourite whipping boys for the music press, one cannot deny that they have musically progressed far beyond the pale, uninventive stereotypes that follow in their wake - like this. Still, given the state of the charts, this could well be a hit. Who knows. (

B Movie have been around some time now, but they're still searching for their first hit. From their Some Bizzare beginning they've now enlisted the aid of hip New York producer
John 'Jellybean' Benitez but he can't do much to help. As a dance record it's depressing, and the swirly Eastern break in the middle just sounds incongruous. Back to the drawing board. (
