Lee Ann Womack may well have the most hard-country female voice in Nashville; while her first two albums showed much promise, they didn't boost her past the middle of the pack. So what's the Nashville solution? Instead of playing to her strengths, make her soprano sound smaller and more compact (think Dolly, not Tammy), de-twang it so she sounds more creamy and dreamy. In other words, try to make her sound more like everyone else. Most of the songs on I Hope You Dance are slow or mid-tempo, building ever so predictably, and with arrangements paying little more than lip service to roots. Womack sounds better with less accompaniment ("I Know Why The River Runs", "Thinkin' With My Heart Again") and best when her drawl prevails ("Does My Ring Burn Your Finger"). And she sounds unbeatable when she's totally involved, as on the best song, "I Feel Like I'm Forgetting Something". And who co-wrote that? Why, Lee Ann did. It's the only such song here, but somebody should take a hint. --John Morthland

Med danske undertekster In Andy Tennant's delightful romantic comedy Hitch, Will Smith stars as Alex Hitchens, an urban "date doctor" who helps the common man woo the woman of his dreams. Hitch will use any means necessary--dance lessons, back waxing--to instill romantic confidence in his clientele. Why? He was once a lonely wallflower himself, who learned about love and heartbreak the hard way. His latest project, Albert Brennaman (Kevin James), may be his most difficult. Brennaman, a junior accountant prone to clumsiness, has fallen head-over-heels for one of his clients, Allegra Cole (Amber Valleta), a well-known celebrity. To complicate things further, Hitch's dating dogma is shaken when he meets and falls for a beautiful gossip columnist, Sara Melas (Eva Mendes), whose sharp wit easily pierces his cool façade. Conflict arises when Melas uncovers Hitch's true profession and blames him for her best friend being dumped. Rating:AGenre:ComedyPlatform:Blu-Ray

There are a few unmistakable footprints any fan of hip-hop can instantly recognise: the woodwind twist of Run DMC's "Peter Piper", Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick's "La Di Da Di", and the ferocious, burning, wax-and-metal battle cry of "LL Cool J is hard as hell!" on "Rock the Bells", from LL Cool J's 1986 debut, Radio. Although just a teenager at the time of this recording, LL booms with shocking authority on tracks like "I Can't Live Without My Radio" and "I Need a Beat". Rick Rubin completes the soundscape with Def Jam's early signature arena-rock guitar strangulations and mechanical drum fills. LL's bravado and vocal presence--despite the imperfect production on the CD and the juvenilia of "You Can't Dance" and "I Want You"--remain inescapable on Radio. -- Todd Levin

If any music could provide the perfect soundtrack to a global journey in search of spiritual enlightenment it would be Buddha Bar's chilled-out but slightly worthy world music. Buddha Bar Vol. 5 follows the same mood-enhancing vein of its predecessors, pulling in a cross-section of sundry global overtures and ethnic bric-a-brac to create a lifestyle accessory that's right up there with designer napkin holders. Fittingly, the two CDs are marked "Dinner" and "Drink", but it's hard to discern any real difference. Each contains the obligatory shower of Indian tablas, Moroccan percussion and mournful Romany strings that combine to create a cultural brew pleased with its own taste, but also oddly disorienting. Songs cross-pollinate all over the place, fusing the disparate vibes of gypsy Spain, Hindu carnival and medieval pageantry into one "organic" take-away. Sometimes it's head-noddingly agreeable stuff, especially when a flurry of tougher dance tracks weave their way through the ambience, but this is mostly "conscious" background music for graphic designers--borrowed style for maximum effect. -- Paul Tierney

Any band formed by a former toyshop owner who cites his influences as REO Speedwagon, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne and Tammy Wynette, aren't going to be the most deep and meaningful bunch, but they have their moments. Like most people, Bowling For Soup have issues, they just don't mope about them, preferring instead to vent their frustrations through cathartic bouts of rocket fuelled surf punk on Let's Do It For Johnny. All the things that preoccupy the hearts and minds of skateboard kids around the world are succinctly dealt with using the minimum of tact and the maximum of hard rocking sincerity. In short, sharp, three-minute bursts to chugging beats and undeniably contagious tunes, they tackle always being a hot girl's best friend, never her lover ("Suckerpunch"), the mysteries of relationships ("Bitch"), fatal attractions ("Dance With You") and the need for a new girlfriend ("Valentino"). They're Blink 182 with a heart, and whatever their problems, Bowling For Soup, like the slacker generation they represent, are determined not to let the world or less than understanding girlfriends get them down. Amen to that. --Dan Gennoe

With The Raw & the Cooked, the Fine Young Cannibals broke into the mainstream with their particular soul-injected sound. They were seemingly infatuated with late-1950s and early-60s Motown, and the musical influences on this album range from boogie ("Good Thing", on which Squeeze keyboardist Jools Holland goes to town with a foot-stompin' piano solo) to poodle-skirted slow dance ("As Hard As It Is", "Tell Me What"), then stretch as far as Prince-like funk ("Don't Let It Get You Down"). Possessing one of the most unusual voices in all of pop music, lead singer Roland Gift gives this album its distinction and the Fine Young Cannibals their identity. About half the songs (including the hit "She Drives Me Crazy") are graced with Gift's steady, crystal-clear falsetto, but it's his swollen-throated lower register, where he sounds like he is singing through a trumpeter's plunger mute, that really makes his voice unmistakable. -- Beth Bessmer

Fronted by the fabulously glamorous Deborah Harry and mixing sultry dance with deceptively hard-hitting punk rock, Blondie were the pre-eminent pop band of their generation. With The Curse of Blondie, their first studio album in four years, they claim to have recaptured much of their former panache and, after hearing the first few tracks, you'd be hard pushed to disagree. The opening "Shake Down", shifting between shining pop and tough modern rock, sees Harry at her sassy sharpest, delivering a freaky, funny rap that takes us straight back to AutoAmerican. The sweet, heavily melodic "Good Boys" and "Undone" keep up the standard. The harsher urban rock of "Golden Rod" even raises it, but it's then that they run out of steam, for the next six tracks are clumsy and weak, characterised by stodgy production and silly studio chicanery rather than the inspired songwriting you'd expect. Thankfully, it all ends well. "The Last One on the Planet" has a tough metallic edge, while the sax-coloured "Desire Brings You Back" and "Songs of Love" recapture that New York sound and spirit. But you can't help feeling that if they'd kept the album as short and sweet as Eat to the Beat, we'd be hailing an unlikely and invigorating return to form. --Dominic Wills

When listening to Braindance, it's somewhat hard to believe that it has been 10 years since the inception of Rephlex Records but Richard D James and Grant Wilson-Claridge's legendary imprint is indeed the latest in a recent plethora of dance labels to reach its first decade. The pair choose to mark the occasion with a mid-price package, Braindance, which brings together back catalogue highlights from their impressive artistic array. The Gentle People open proceedings with the sublime "Journey" but it isn't long before the broken percussives and squealing analogues that have defined much of the output start to raise their head. Global Goon, Ovuka and the Railway Raver offer a rich emotive take while Squarepusher and Cylob bring the noise, the former ravaging "Psultan" by way of drum & bass beats while the latter lays down his inspired robot-voxed, post-pop "Rewind". With so much ground covered in the 16 tracks, all of the material boasts its own strengths though it is m-Ziq's "Swan Vesta" which stands out - bouncing wood block b lines and crazed atmospheres rising to through a rail slamming melodic to a spine crumbling crescendo. -- Kingsley Marshall

While the fiery rock & roll spirit of The La's Lee Mavers courses through their veins, the debut album by youthful Liverpudlian mystics the Coral proves they are far more than Merseybeat chancers. The opening "Spanish Main"--"We've set sail again! / We're heading for the Spanish Main!"--casts the sextet as marauding scally pirates, out to pillage musical history for any loot they can lay their hands on. Magnificently, it's possible to hear the influence of everything from Captain Beefheart to Miles Davis, from Spanish mariachi guitar to rambunctious Cossack dance rhythms surfacing between the tight, ragged grooves of "I Remember When" and "Shadows Fall". But the staggering thing about The Coral is that it's stuffed to bursting point with ideas, yet presents them all in such stark clarity. It's hard to pick an album highlight, but it's probably a toss-up between the curious, swooping fable of "Simon Diamond" and the unfettered insanity of "Skeleton Key", which finds frontman James Skelly croaking "Solid gold skeleton key / opens the most intricate lock / Brother roll another for me/ I am shipwrecked on the rocks!" as his bandmates caw like parrots in the background. The Coral are off on a totally mental trip. It would take a fool, however, to choose not to join them. -- Louis Pattison

Junking '70s-funk cliches for a stripped-down sound (keyboards and synthesizers replaced the horns) built around a hard-rockin' guitar and a tougher-than-tough rhythm section--all topped off with a heapin' helping of humor--this Minneapolis-based sextet was once the best funk band in the land. This second LP is the best single album from the act, which soon imploded, owing to an over-abundance of talent. Bug-eyed vocalist Morris Day and guitarist Jesse Johnson went on to semi-successful solo careers; keyboardist Jimmy Jam and bassist Terry Lewis became a mega-platinum writing/production team (Janet Jackson, most notably); drummer extraordinaire Jellybean Johnson and keyboardist Monte Moir were the other members. Co-produced by Day and Jamie Starr (a.k.a. Prince), this six-song 1982 effort sports three wall-rattling party-starters: the self-explantory "Wild and Loose," the tongue-in-cheek dance tune "The Walk," and the still-percolating, knotty-but-nice rhythms of "777-9311." Toss in a "New Wave"-style rocker, a droll take on the obligatory love-man ballad, and the band's straight-faced answer to the titular question ("Time to fix your clock!") is O-B-V-I-O-U-S. --Don Waller

Although German dance trio Toktok formed way back in 1993, it wasn't until they met singer Sophia Larsson Ocklind that they felt compelled to start work on their debut, Toktok Vs. Soffy O. It's easy to see why she so moved them. Her quirky mix of emotionless androidism and sugary sunshine make her the perfect voice for Toktok's, body-popping, euro-trash synth-pop. Together, their monotone melodies and cheap analogue sounds might suggest electro-clash experimentation, especially when played out to gorgeously deep house ("The Lookalikes", "Talkative", "One of These Places") and sleazy basement punk ("A Pointless Life"). But at heart Toktok are passionately retro. With Casio keyboard rhythm tracks and equally hi-tech keyboard sounds, and with electro-disco tracks like "Jean" sounding like they're about to break into Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" or anything by Human League, images of people wearing electric pink eye-shadow and dancing like robots is hard to shift. Yet spectacularly kitsch as Toktok's Depeche-Mode-with-a-smile shtick is, it's scarily addictive, and in a time of super-buffed dance-floor sophistication, their minimalist DIY attitude and angular grooves--as showcased by the sneering "Missy Queen's Gonna Die"--are fantastically refreshing. -- Dan Gennoe

In the days when boy bands played their own instruments, Spandau Ballet--a bunch of pretty boys from north London with kilts, shoulder pads, bad 1980s hair, eyeliner and unmistakable good looks--caused quite a stir and soon had both major record labels and teenage girls monitoring their every move. Major-league players among the New Romantic movement, the five piece lived the high life and churned out hit after hit between 1980 and 1986. This compilation features pretty much all of their offerings ("Gold", "True", "Lifeline", "Highly Strung")--some more memorable than others. Gold's sleeve notes boldly proclaim "...this is where it all began. Club culture, endless nocturnal adventures, white boys high on soul and funk-making electric dance music which moves the city." It's hard to imagine music like this doing that now--on the cover they look like a bunch of old guys in polo necks--but it was the 80s. --Ronita Dutta

With no clear standout tracks, Life is fascinating more for its explorations than its arrivals. The elements are all there--the dynamic ensemble singing, the adventurous arrangements, the hard funk beats, the screaming guitars--but Life is a musical vision not yet fully formed.

If you're going to buy a sturdy compilation of hits from the pop charts, Now That's What I Call Music 53 is the one to get. Weathering the storm for many years, the brand has survived thanks to its blend of pop, rock, soul and dance. This instalment includes a good selection of number ones from DJ Sammy ("Heaven") and the Sugababes ("Round Round"), to name but two. Other pop favourites include Blue ("One Love"), Las Ketchup ("Ketchup Song") and Darius with his number one "Colourblind". On an indie guitar note, there's the giant "In My Place" by Coldplay and "Check the Meaning" by ex-Verve Richard Ashcroft. From the heavy rock camp there's Puddle of Mudd ("She Hates Me") and Bowling for Soup ("Girl All the Bad Guys Want") and in the urban corner there's Eminem's "Without Me" and "Ms Dynamite's "Dy-Na-My-Tee". As ever there are bizarre inclusions: it's hard to imagine anyone listening to the likes of Liberty X or Britney Spears then getting deep down and dirty with Status Quo or Eva Cassidy but at the end of the day, diversity is the nature of this beast. -- Georgina Collins

It's perhaps the cruellest twist that in trying to distance herself from Chillout's massed ranks, East Anglian songstress Beth Orton has come up with Daybreaker, the ultimate 4 am soundtrack. It certainly wasn't intentional; Orton has never been best pleased with the "Come Down Queen" tag she acquired thanks to the hazy folk and bleery electronica of her 1996 debut, Trailer Park, and her association with dance luminaries such as the Chemical Brothers and Andrew Weatherall. Hence her third studio album steers a path to more traditional singer/songwriter territory. Yet topped with Orton's drunken croon--unintelligible, blissfully lazy and bittersweet--the unhurried country strummings of "Carmella", "God Song" and "Ted's Waltz" are still prime twilight listening. Add the moodier down-tempo moments; "Paris Train"'s haunting orchestrals, "Mount Washington"'s ambient bleeps and the dank beats of the Chemical Brothers-produced title track and it's hard to see Daybreaker doing anything other than reaffirming her "Come Down Queen" credentials. Admittedly there's a shortage of memorable tunes--nothing quite lives up to her previous best, "She Cries Your Name" or "Stolen Car". But even then the vagueness of her melodies, like the vagueness of her voice, merely adds to Daybreaker's gentle, nocturnal charm. -- Dan Gennoe

More Than A Woman is the sixth album from sophisticated R & B singer Toni Braxton. Whether she's writing about her own anguish or interpreting someone else's, Braxton has a way of cutting straight to the soul. It's why her signature hit "Un-Break my Heart" was a smash, and why More Than a Woman is such a terrific album: she's angry, and she's skilled enough in R & B soul to exorcise those demons. The soaring and sassy he-done-me-wrong lament "Lies, Lies, Lies"--its chorus powered by thickly layered vocals--is utterly irresistible. "Give It Back" similarly scolds a cad caught stepping out on our gal. Braxton also finds success in happiness: the lilting, Spanish-flavoured "Me & My Boyfriend" is a joyful ode to being together, while the swooning, synth-juiced "Tell Me"--despite its soft, innocuous exterior--finds Braxton seducing a lover by checking off her attributes (hard body, wearing a thong) while offering a private dance. Braxton's husky voice continues to make hairs stand on end, and while More Than a Woman doesn't find her busting down doors stylistically, loyalists will find plenty to praise. --Kim Hughes

So much has been said about disco-punk's King Midas, New York musician/ producer James Murphy, that's its kind of hard to believe that we've had to wait until 2005 for the debut album from his dancefloor project, LCD Soundsystem. LCD's classic triumvirate of early singles - "Losing My Edge", "Give It Up", and "Yeah"--joined the dots between punk-rock, disco, and funk in a way that hadn't been seen since the New York downtown scene of the early '80s, but these are bravely relegated to a bonus disc in favour of a suite of new material that rework the band's influences in new, often explicit ways: take "Movement", for instance - a homage to The Fall that finds Murphy barking "It's a fat guy/ In a T-shirt/Doing all the singing!" over punchy analogue synths, or the quietly majestic "Great Release", a doff of the cap to Brian Eno circa Taking Tiger Mountain. For all his encyclopaedic musical knowledge, however, it's one of Murphy's strengths that he seldom seems uptight about the practise of music-making: it's how he can get away with penning a gonzo disco-punk number and naming it something as fantastically flippant as "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House"--and more importantly, it's why LCD Soundsystem succeeds as a splendid dance record as well as a smart intellectual exercise. --Louis Pattison

It seems like only yesterday when those fresh-faced bad-boys burst into the charts with their angst-filled pop anthem "Slam Dunk Da Funk" -- four years later they are no more, and so follows the inevitable Greatest Hits collection. Back in 1998, it wasn't until the laid-back third single "Got the Feelin'" hit the top three that the boys released their self-titled debut and propelled themselves into pop superstardom. From then followed a host of pop classics borrowing from rock, rap, soul and dance--giving the boys three number ones with "Keep on Movin'", "We Will Rock You" (from Invincible) and "Let's Dance" (from Kingsize). Always pitching themselves as the antithesis of "wet" boy bands, their Greatest Hits is a touch light on the ballad side of things. However, the delicate "Until the Time Is Through" and the poignant "Closer to Me" do raise a smile (and a tear) or two, but for the best part it's fists in the air, hard-rocking, good-time pop. -- David Trueman

Ex-Plastikman techno artist Richie Hawtin's latest release continues his predilection for stripped-down beats and less-is-more aesthetics, slamming down the needle on a record of merciless mixes and remixes. It's quite a workout, with relief coming only in the form of occasional, slightly quieter thumps. Hawtin works with slices of his own material, along with the ruthless concoctions of Jeff Mills and a selection of other DJs from Detroit's influential techno community. Other eclectic influences make their way onto his turntables, the most obvious being a flash of industrial rock courtesy of Nitzer Ebb. Most of it gets swallowed up in Hawtin's metronomelike devotion to rote bpms and hard, minimalist stylings. Still, when it's done with this level of driving force, the sheer momentum is enough to force your limbs into involuntarily movement. From the opening pulse of Ratio's "Early Blow," Hawtin extrapolates on a short beat structure with perfectly rhythmic precision, growing and building through a series of melodyless phases. The album peaks with the Nitzer Ebb break, leading into Hawtin's short, irresistible remix of his own "Orange/Minus 1" then abruptly stopping with one of the album's few respites--a quick clip of movie dialogue. It's a brief pause, and the omnipresent beat restarts only slightly less demanding and brutally danceable than before. Hawtin's record is a stellar example, at a time when twisted jungle beats rule the dance floors, of getting people to dance a lot more by using a lot less. --Matthew Cooke

It's hard to believe that the Stereo MC's were once the flag-bearers of British hip-hop, but that's exactly how they were perceived way back in the late 80s. The best-of Retroactive comes 15 years on from their first basic beats and rhymes experiments. It seems strange to think of them as a true hip-hop outfit--sure, their baggy, slightly mystic records have always been built around Rob Birch's typically English rap, but musically they've always been more funk-meets-breaks than straight-up hip-hop. Either way, they've been responsible for some fine records in their time--as this slightly over-long collection ably shows. Naturally, the best stuff here comes from their productive early 90s period--quirky, off-kilter funk-hop concoctions like "Creation", "Two Horse Town" (from the underrated Supernatural album) and "Lost in Music". There are interesting nuggets elsewhere, of course--most notably the charity track "The Sweetest Truth" and the De La Soul vibes of "On 33"- but little stands up to the brilliant singles of their Connected-era glory years. Still, if you want a neat summary of the career of one of Britain's most distinctive dance acts, Retroactive is definitely worth a spin. -- Matt Anniss
