You can thank Jerry Smith for getting me interested. in Toyah - or you wontt. Toyah seen to be one of iho"" groups who you really like or really hate with no i-n-betweens. The group is fronted. bt orange-haired Toyah Willcox who before Christmas was probably better known by her face after appeaxances in Quadrophenia and the awful Shoestring, than by her music. The albun has grown up from the 5-track E.P. of the sarne name to the maybe

full-size record with ihe addition of , tracks includ.ing the single, rVictims of the Riddler. The cover (san:e as the E.P.) teatures Toyah herself in the foreground in front of three white spheres which may or may not represent a nuclear power starion. The music appeâ&#x201A;ŹEs carefully constructed. but is not lacking in excitement or interest. Thrasning $ritars are d.efinitely absent from this record. but rnany of the tracks are beaty and bcr:ncy enough to encou-rage leg rnovement. Certain parts i.â&#x201A;Ź. the beginning of tlleon Uombt with its sanophone have a Jazzy feel. The lyrics, as with all records, become clearer with more plays but those that are discernible point to the albumts futuristic approach. Indeed f Vivisectiont on the second. sid.e sound.s as though itrs lifted from the-lfre soundtrack of '2001 t r+ith all the atmospherics. Thj.s is the lowest point of album - if one has to be for:nd. the track being fad'ed before the actual instrumental has any chance at all. My personal favourite which has held from the first listening is tDancecr except that the story of the retu.rn of Christ seems a littLe out of place here. Anyway the albun and the new singlerBird. in Flight| wonft be fa;r C,T, A iior ry record player in the-near future.

't:,',/hy does everyone say our nusie is gloorny and d.ocn:y?rtasks lan. lT9]re sitting in the d.ressing roon of londons Ralnbow Theatre, and soae i11- inforned pseuo.o - rock journalist has ;ust nanaged to iniur the lviath of .Ioy Division bJ' cnnrng-out with the usual pathetic nlsconception. The' band decide to adjouln and the gUilty party is left pondering her nistaka I gl fy- rnention this event in the hope of at least partially dispelling the myth which threatens to engulf Joy Division. The bano were forned. in llanchester in early 1977. Yet another band inspired to do sonething nusieal by'John tryd.on ar:d. his l,lerry Troubadours. Tne frenetic, alnost heavy-neta1, chord thrashings prevalent on their 'rldeal for living'r E.P. have nrellovred and natured into sone of the nost i:.au!ting nelodles this slde of surrealisin. According to Ian iheir unique style evolved sJ-nply through the process of becoroing more proficient on their instunents.. Stephen niorris i-s technlcal"ly one of the best Brltish drumners in the business. Peter Hoolcts cloned. Bass drives the songs along vith the l<1nd of urgency usually associated rvlth a careering anbulance. {'rn top of this Sernard Dickin lays d.otzn a tight guitar pattern, often witha flanger to achieve an lnteresting sound through his battered Yox conbo.-Occasional1y Bernard vti1l switch to syn:thesizer. He is the groups resident Technocrat. Iie built his synthesizer fron a krt. At the noment I?n is trying to coae to terns with the Guitarr on which he imnaculately plays a single chord duringrrlcve iYill Tear Us ApartrtFor ne, this is one of their strongest live bunbers. Bernardrs synthesizer signal is split into 4 and. phased, creati-nE e piercing yet rich nelody, A very nlce stage sound. There seens no point in d.wel'l j-ng on Joy Divisdon$ illstory. Listen to itIs back-catalogue, it speaiie for itself. I asked. the Band how they to do I trac!:s for 3ob iastrs corepilation albun tEarcon 2r. Ian-tri?erve know:i tsob for a long tine and we kneur that he was 6cing to do this single on Fast, lverd also played a ferni d.ates on iire Rezillosr last tour, so it reall-y cane about through that.',Te hao a couple or'ttaclis lefi over frpn ihe albun and it was an outlet for then.3.ea11y, it would have taken Factory Records a long time to get then out.',ie night as well release everything rather than save it. rl

- 3ut d.oesnft that uieen thet yo0re inevltadly gorng to sklnp on quality? Ian- 'r17e11 if the test pressing isnrt up tc stand.ard, it just .,'ront go out.' Stephen- "1{e'ciid. T5 tracks for an alburn and subse,iuentl"v selected. I0 for inclus:-on on it, so the others r/ere f:.nished. but there \ras noihing to rlo with tllen.'r lhe albun is, of course ItUnl<norvn ?leasures'r, a:r albun ..1is1;1a1'rng abund,ent song-vrrltting ability and Ceep perceptlon. Just listen to tb.e lyrics of "ITerv Dawn Fadesrror feel the atnosphere j-nhereni lnrrI Renenber lTothl-n,3". Itrs no wonder thai the albunrs flrst pressing t'ias soon sole out. I ask then hovr heavily they intend to rely on sj'nthesizers in fu-hare. ian-rrlf ve think that the keyboards fit in, werli use then. !$erers no conscj-ous decision to lvrite a song f eaturing eynthesizer.rl So ho',v about a fufl tind lie;r5ea"6 player? Ian- !I d.ontt think so.... it would have to be somecne whc couldnrt real-iiplay, so that could leain to play like us.rl
