Live Crew is disseminating its
raunchiest works in the form of a
“best of” album.
Taking a cue from former are
na rockers Poison and Skid Row,
two other bands on the missing
but not missed list, Luke Sky-
walker and company released an
album featuring hits spanning
their entire 15-minute career. The
result is a collection of tracks that
proves they cannot compare with
any rap act of today (or even old
material from fellow Florida
alumnus Too Short).
As an extra enticement for
buyers, the album features a re
make of the Crew’s “Me So
Horny” that attempts to editorial
ize on the Lewinski affair but
sounds like it was written by a
three-year old whose Hooked on
Phonics program included tran
scripts from a particularly foul-
mouthed Def Comedy Jam
episode.
Buyer be warned: purchasing
this album for nostalgia will only
bring to light how incredibly im
mature you were when you snuck
in a listen during middle school.

and a twist of disco.
The main criticism of this al
bum is that the Spanish lyrics
(which read like a chapter out of
Human Sexuality 101) cannot be
understood by most listeners.
However, the music is intoxicat
ing enough to meet its purpose —
to get everyone up and dancing.
Songs like “Ponerte en Cua-
tro” and “El Disco Anal” smooth
ly blend traditional Latin
rhythms with modern experi
mental beats and show the evo
lution of Spanish music that
leads to one definite conclusion:
get out of the old and get into

When students at Texas A&M
hear the phrase Spanish music,
the first rhythms to flow
through their mind are the te-
jano songs found on some of
the radio stations in the Bryan-
College Station area.
The New Sound of the
Venezuelan Gozadera, the U.S.
debut album of the Venezuelan
band Los Amigos Invisibles, dis
pels this stereotype from the
moment the play button is
pressed.
The sextet delivers a distinct
musical flavor not found on Eng
lish menus combining acid jazz
and funk with a side of dance
Dosage, the fourth release by
Georgia quintet Collective Soul
has already scored with three
hits. The two current releases,
“Heavy” and “Run,” have re
ceived heavy air play from radio
and MTV, “She Said,” an unnum
bered bonus track, was a hit
when it was originally released on
the Scream 2 soundtrack.
Front man Ed Roland and com
pany stay true to the Collective
Soul sound on Dosage. “Needs,” a
holdover from their last album,
and “Slow” are definite ftlture re
leases. Like “Maybe” from Disci
plined BreakdSiUrL,'"Needs” is an
acoustically driven ballad with
lyrics that are personally mean
ingful to Ed Roland, and “Slow” is
a collaboration of brothers Ed and
Dean Roland.
In a change from the norm,
lead guitarist Ross Childers wrote
and fronts “Dandy Life.” Many of
the songs were previously written
or intended for other albums but
were rediscovered and changed
up for Dosage.
Dosage is a must have for any
true Collective Soul fan or any
music fan who needs a dosage of
great modern rock. (Grade: A +)
