...is finally overturned and when Tony sadly dies and his body drops into the swimming pool/fountain. Theres no singing in this track,and its a really sombre piece of music that takes you right back to the ending scene. 7/10 Track 6: Shes on fire by Amy Holland. This is the track played where Tony dances with Elvira and she makes a comment thatTony has come from a banana boat. This is the funny scene where Tony tries to dance and looks really funny. 9/10 Track 7:Shake it up by Elizabeth Daly. If im right,this is playing in the background when Tony takes his sister Gina into the toilet and hits her because shes been flirting with a man.This is another 80's track thats perfectly suited to the film and really takes you back,as well as giving you a good song to sing along to! 8/10 Track 8: Dance Dance Dance by Beth Anderson. This song plays... Read review

.... Some two weeks after returning to London, Wings went back into the studio to complete the album. Most of this final work was done at George Martin’s AIR Studios on Oxford Street (although George himself did not participate).

Paul invited Tony Visconti to write the arrangements, admiring his production work. (He also happened... Read review

...Where is Jacknife Lee going with this? His first largely instrumental album Muy Rico was so funny that it felt like it should have been a one-off. But, apparently, there’s no stopping this guy and he’s back with an album that takes the hybrid style of his first outing, whipping and blending the elements to make something which, if not quite as funny, is certainly interesting listening. The titles still verge of the ridiculous with 1970’s Dictator Chic kicking off the proceeding with what sounds like a piss-take of Tony Allen. It’s a dazzling and intriguing start but doesn’t really prepare the listener for what follows.
