Robert Wyatt Nothing Can Stop Us (Ryko) Covering Chic and coveting communism was brave in 1982. Today, it comes off as even more iconoclastic. 9 (CY) Various The Sound of Gran Turismo: The Real Driving Simulator (EMI) From Garbage to Bentley Rhythm Ace--a yahoo of a compilation. Get me one of them driving simulators! 8 (MS) Bauhaus Crackle (Beggars Banquet) Greatest hits rush-released for their "resurrection." Isn't it a bit too easy for goths to come back from the dead? 7 (CY) Various Nikita: Music From the Television Series (TVT/A&M) Curve, Gus Gus, Mono, Enigma... a harvest from the narcoleptic mood-hop pop crop. 6 (RB) Link Sex Down (Sony) Don't let the title fool you. Ain't nothing sexy about generic, uninspired Dôme songs. 5 (GD) McGruff Destined To Be (Uptown/Universal) Gruff is just standin' on the corner, doing his part to take the bite out of rhyme. 5 (SC) Les Thugs Nineteen Something (Sub Pop/Warner) Try 40-something. C'est dommage, but the rabid dogs of French punk have lost their bite. 4 (RB)
Daze Super Heroes (Columbia) Irredeemably bad hi-NRG--you know you're in trouble when you call a track "Together Forever (The Cyber Pet Song)." 3 (MS)
