ARTS : THE IOS PLAYLIST : THE FIVE BEST SOUNDS OF THE MOMENT
Schoenberg: Erwartung, Kammersym-phonie No 1, Variations for Orchestra. CBSO/Simon Rattle, Phyllis Bryn-Julson (EMI, CD). Rattle proves yet again that hard-core modernism can be radiant and rewarding in the right hands. MW
Various: Rewind Selecta - Vol 1 (Grapevine, CD/LP/tape). Balmy lovers- rock: ideal for warming chilled cockles. Ben Thompson
Tricky: Maxinquaye (4th & Broadway, CD/ LP/tape). Superb, sinuous and sinister dbut from maverick Bristolian. BT
Carter USM: Worry Bomb (Chrysalis, CD/ LP/tape). Back from the darkest depths of critical disdain with an explosion of lucid social commentary and classic scruff rock. NB
Belly: King (4AD, CD/LP/tape). A right royal follow-up to Star. Sparkling, skew-whiff and impossible to dislike. NB
