Page 53 REVIEW SINGLES BIG COUNTRY: The Teacher (Phonogram) Another very Scottish guitar anthem, monstrously epic and a definite case of Stuart Adamson taking himself too seriously once again. From the guitar overkill in the beginning, middle and end, to the cringe-worthily predictable shout of "Hah!" halfway through, Big Country sound as though they've just wheeled out another ode to their own majestic tediousness, and are really becoming a bit of a pain. |

Page 56 VIDEOS KATE BUSH: The Of The Hound (PMI, £9.99) Whether you like this or not probably depends on whether you're interested in the 'Mysterious One' prancing about in a leotard, togged up in dungarees or "givin' it loads" encased in what appears to be 20 yards of Bacofoil, or fancy attempting to figure out the obscure storylines. I don't so I'm probably a bit of a spoilsport to point out that this collection contains only four videos - the singles from the "Hounds of Love" album. Colette Campbell |
