Edited by POMO PICKS lvana B. Adored POMO MUGS Ride, "Carnival Of Ligit" (Sire/ Reprise): The allusions to G-am ?arsons and Neil Young on the t-shits worn by guitarist Andy Bell in the CD booklet photos are a clue to the influences that have broken down the psychedelic wall of fuzz the British quartet hid behind on their first two LPs. The tinges of country rock on "I Don't Know Where It Comes From" and the altra 3yrds- like "1000 Miles" have helped turn these former shoegazes into a confident pop band, no longer masking their melc dies behind SAM SHE AM: Pictured haring backstage at Virgin recording massive reverb.

Joined by Vernon * 116. , IA 0 0 6 M Reid on a great version of Curtis Mayfield's "Stare And Stare," MCNFJ continues to make records with style. The first single, "If I Only Had A Brain," shows that the MC, aka Mark Griffin, not only has a brain, but also the ability to use it. (Commander Dickie Winn)

Producer Howard Benson lends his heavy hand masterfully, as evidenced on the already hit- bound first single "Rapture."

"Happy Home" Has Radio And Retail Gnawing For Boney James THE JOY OF SAX!!! JAMS wanted to buy a do-it- yourself "Happy Home" kit from the wolves at ACME Home Builders. Strangely, their "EZ-2-Follow" plan calls for a lot of straw. Something tells us this won't be as EZ to build as saxophonist Roney James' career, thanks to his solid "Backbone" album. James' "Happy Ho me" (WB) single, featuring Bridgetle Bryant, is making radio and retail happy: W QC D/N YC MD Steve Williams huffed: "Boney is what radio is looking for in a saxophone player. He's smooth and melodic, with his finger on the pulse of today's musical direction." (Ed note: "There goes radio's rep for poor quotes!") WHUR/D.C. MD Pam Hal puffed: "I like the record. I like the artist. Phones are already building." Steve Robertson of Angoff /Detroit blew: "A consistent Top 5 jazz seller for us. It also does- n't hurt that it's an incredible release." Ricky Schultz, VP/GM, Jazz & Progressive Music/WB, wailed: "We're real excited about having Boney James join the WB roster.
