The Celibate Rifles (Jayrem) ' The second album from a bunch of rustic young Sydneysiders. It's a noisy, two-guitar jungle in the tradition of certain Sydney bands. This is more adventurous -than the debut - Sideroxylon and as well as clever er guitar there are studio effects like the. talkover In Thank You America'. It's also more pointedly political, that track being a good example. But for all that, it's just not as much fun as the previous album. Before buying this I d recommend you seek out the rough surf punk of Sideroxylon. which is also available here. RB Gary Moore Victims of the Future (Virgin) Young Gal (as he’s affectionately known by the UK scribes) , has something of a reputation in * the guitar hero stakes and judging from this album they're not too far wrong in predicting he'll be the - next big thing in the world metal stakes. With lan Paice on drums and seasoned campaigners Neil .Murray, Bob Daisley and Mo Foster sharing bass duties he’s Mourned out an album par excel**fence. Check out their version of the Yardbirds' classic 'Shapes of “ORrhings' it's devastating and 1 TJevery other track isn’t too far behind. Other goodies include - yp Murder in the Skies’, a poignant ~ v'number about the Korean airliner tragedy, and 'Empty Rooms’, c HA slower number where he really j, lets his fingers do the talking.
