I Horse Calton Studios. Calton Road. 556 7066. Horse's first album. released a few months ago. must have been one ofthe most long-awaited debuts for many a year. and collected the best of their work up till now.

A night of Electronic Body Music (‘radical dance‘ was just sounding so old) from two bands on the Wax Trax label who. as it happens. have just put out a joint single.
