Fussible Oddyssea EP (Nettwerk) A northern debut con carne from Tijuana’s prime movers in the nascent Nortec Mex-house sound. 8 (RB)

Craig David “7 Days” remix 12” (independent) Brit R&B crooner hooks up with royalty for the Primo treatment. Bounce. 8 (SC)

Seaworthy The Ride (Jetset) Derived from Georgia band Macha, Seaworthy is relatively light on Eastern sounds, but this gauzy, pot-friendly post-rock has personality. 8 (LC)

Maximillian Hecker Infinite Love Songs (Kitty-Yo/Fusion III) Pure, precious, poor-lil’-fella pop laments. An unusually straightforward release for Kitty-Yo—and one of their best. 7.5 (RB)

Various Skinhead Revolt (Shakedown/Nice) These are all the Trojan skin-hits from the early ’70s. Not racialist in the least, yeah... 7 (SC)

Ocean Colour Scene Songs for the Front Row: The Best of Ocean Colour Scene (Island/Universal) Clinging desperately to Oasis-mania and a vague affiliation with Paul Weller, these Brits never had a collective leg to stand on. 4 (LC)

Gilby Clarke Swag (Spitfire) The Ron Wood of Guns ’N Roses steps up to the plate and swats at flyballs. The cover of “Diamond Dogs” will bring bile to your throat. 3 (JC)
