Hall, Gates
By Scott Hsrrali
Diity Netrasi.s.a SteST Reporter
According to the music maga
zine Billboard, Hall and Oate3 is
one of the top grossing artists of
the '80s so far.
They are an extremely capri
cious duo that has gone from
sleep-inducing elevator music
(like-their mid-'70s hit "Sara
Smile") to musical excellence.
Gone are the subdued easy
listening tunes that once made
some label their music "blue-eyed
soul" They used to have a reputa
tion for putting one or two good
songs on an LP and filling the rest
of the vacant vinyl with pulp.
After nearly a decade of sharpen
ing their skills, the two have creat
ed "Big Bam Boom," which more
than makes up for their past
flaws.
The album commences with
"Dance on Your Knees," a short

1 -t t
-album lures new fans
but sharp dance number that
resembles a product of one of
those West German post-punk
bands and introduces listeners to
the overall sound of the LP: beat
crazed and progressive.
The hit single that follows, "Out
of Touch bears the band's dis
tinctive vocals and b a bit redun
dant but it's so catchy that it
doesn't matter. "Method of Mod
ern Love" comes next, keeping up
the hard pace that doesn't flag
until the final cut, "Some Thing3
Are Better Left Unsaid."
Side two starts out funky and
harmonic with "Going Thru The
Motions," a song that belies the
group's image because of libidi
nous lyrics.
"Cold, Dark and Yesterday" is
an eerie yet vibrant tune that
would have been better if it had
been done as dismal as the lyrics:
How can a man survive when
the weak meet the soft and the
hard meet the eyeLeft to right,
up and doumIVs picture post
card timeHear the sounds save
die image from my mind Cold,
dark and yesterday.
"All-American Girl" is a delight
ful send-up of the trivial aspects
of vanity and fashion. The most,
interesting track is the last, "Pos
session Obsession." It sounds like
a composite of Soft Cell's whimsi
cal synthesizers and Spandau
Ballet's crooning updated by the
fluid force that's rife throughout
this entire album.

don't have the ability to come up
with original material "Big Bam
Boom" is explosive and will not
only thrill the duo's old fans
but snare new ones as well
There is an old cliche "that
states, "If you haven't made it in
America, you haven't made it."
This philosophy is true for Bri
tain's Allison Moyet, former vocal
ist for Yazoo (known as Yaz in the
United States). Yazoo was the
forerunner to Eurjthmics because
their unique sound was based on
a good male keyboardist and an
androgynous female singer. Moyet
looks like Truman Capote wear
ing make-up and her voice b just
as bizarre.
Allison is still working on the
completion of her LP, but she's
got a maxi-single released, "All
Cried Out," that features two new
songs.
"All Cried Out" musically sounds
nothing like the techno-pop that
made Yazoo famous, but it still
sports Moyet's vivacious voice.
Some have compared her to Cul
ture Club's back-up singer Helen
Terry because they both sound
like black torch singers. However,
Moyet, unlike Terry, dosen't force
the emotion in her songs it
comes naturally.
Natural ebullience flows smooth
ly through the other tune, "Steal
Me Blind " a powerful dirge that
will surely top the charts if it's
ever released here. That's the
problem with Moyet she's not
getting U.S. airplay.
