From what I've heard of this new group, I am impressed.  The music
is light and airy, yet still enjoyable.  I got to listen to
the whole albumn at the local Record and Tape Collector Store and
enjoyed, although not enough to rent/buy it ( yet ). (I had
some other music on my shopping list and Uncle doesn't pay me
enough to indulge myself (-| totally |-).)  They have one
release so far from this albumn - called " Walking on Sunshine "
which evokes images of Diana and the Supremes with a better
recording studio.  The verse goes:

" I'me walking on sunshine (oh yeh)
I'm walking on sunshine ( ooh hoo )
and it feels SO GOOD "
 
So if you like an updated Motown sound you might want to give this
group a listen.

Also as a former professional drummer, I couldn't resist jumping
into the 'DRUM MACHINE' fray.  My personal opinion is that if
I could afford one, I would get one because there are many times
when I am playing and wish I could jump into the jam via my 
Marimba.  Unfortunately, there isn't always a spare drummer to
step in < you ever hear a guitarist play drums , YECCHH > and
as soon as I stop playing so does everyone else in order to
abuse me for stopping the beat. If I had one of those programmable
babies - I could program in the basic beat and jump onto the
KelonKeys.  Any Yamaha reps out there willing to loan me one
for endorsement??

Anyone hear of GuadalCanal Diary's albumn - 'Walking in the
Shadow of the Big Man'  - good rock-n-roll.  This group
could fill the gap left by REM.  Check out 'Watusi Rodeo' -
song about a Cowboy giving shows in the Far East.
