- Various EP reviews (including XTC Home Demos)...I've been a read-only member of mod.music.gaffa for some time now.You may not recognize the name, but I hope the following info is ofinterest. I recently celebrated a paycheck by spending a chunk ofit on some new vinyl and ended up with a bunch of 12" singles (EPs?).Brief impressions of the lot are included; if you want more infodrop me E-mail.Stranger to Stranger/The Child in Me 1985 SMI Records This song got a fair amount of airplay locally on WHFS so I guess it fits into the "alternate mainstream pop" mindset. The album contains two versions of "The Child in Me", 3 other tracks and a short instrumental not listed on the sleeve or the label. The title track is a slow paced/dreamy "angst pop" comment on life with subdued percussion, pained vocals and warbley/twangy guitar riffs. If you like somber, and slightly depressing, ballads you might want to check this one out. Of the other songs, "One World" and "Give it Everything You Can" are above average filler material while "Courageous Cat" adds something new to the EP. It's a jazz inspired pick-me-up effectively placed following the extended version of the title song.Stranger to Stranger/Don't Stop 1986 SMI Records Another EP from this group. This time around there's a lyric sheet and "direct metal mastering". That guitar is still there, holding everything together, and their message is more coherent. The four songs here fit together better than on the 1985 offering. All are moderately fast paced and have the same level of production trickery (fairly minimal). The percussion is more demanding and the vocals work better than the faster songs on "The Child in Me"; it all makes for fairly interesting EP with tasty guitars and a nice under-produced feel.Colourbox/Baby I Love You So 1986 4AD Records (BAD604) I'm quite a Colourbox fan but even non-fanatics will probably like this 12" single. This single follows nicely after the debut LP, with Lorita Grahame providing sumptuous vocals over top of a slinky reggae instrumental track. As on the album, there is some interesting editting work used to introduce strange sound effects (like Hollywood spagetti Wetern style gun shots) and off the wall vocals. For example, a quote from an Ernest Borgnine(sp?) movie pops up from out of nowhere offering "You can't meet the duke,
