SINGLES
MADISON AVENUE: Everything You Need (VC Recordings) -- Australia's biggest export since Kylie return with this, their third single from their debut album. Another poppy effort which will be played repeatedly on air, there is no escaping from this one. (7/10) DH
EBTG vs SOUL VISION: Tracey In My Room (Virgin) -- After being "born" on the dancefloor and then cut on a white label, this tune has justifiably found its way to a mainstream release. You may not recognised the name but any clubbers out recently will certainly have heard it. (7/10) DH
TERRORVISION: D'ya Wanna Go Faster? (Papillon/Total Vegas) -- After an interval of nearly two years Terrorvision return with another amazing pop-rock tune. It's poppy enough to keep on side the new fans who fell for their smash hit Tequila, while carrying that anthemic rock sound demanded by their solid fanbase. There are shades of Tequila in the tune, such as its dance beat and the almost annoying catchy chorus. But as Terrorvision once again threaten to break into the mainstream, their integrity is still very much intact. (9/10) AH
FEEDER: Buck Rogers (Echo) -- Produced by Gil Norton, who worked on the ill-fated Milltown Brothers final album Valve, this is blatantly flying the flag for American rock. But with an easy to grasp hook, Feeder (pictured) for the first time sound like a band with something to say. (8/10) CL
ANASTACIA: Not That Kind (Epic) --Loads of wah-wah effects on the guitar, a funky bassline and Anastacia's rich smooth vocals make this a lazy weekend number. The perfect track for warm afternoon while you sip ice tea and watch someone else do your your ironing. (7/10) CL
ALBUMS
THE GREATEST NUMBER 1 SINGLES (Virgin) -- Based on the television show broadcast on Channel 4, this is the cream of the crop of the 100 singles chosen by viewers. While there is no doubting that some of the songs definitley belong on here, can you really count Coolio, Spiller and the Prodigy as the makers of some of the best songs of all time? (8/10) DH
