llos Angeles 6ttmes I Pop Reviews Thomas Doi by Gives His Invigorating Mix a Bite ou could tell he's a Serious Techno-Freak because he brought his own sound sys- Ytem to the Roxy. You could tell he's a Certified New Wave Hitmaker because he received a self-serving on-stage introduction from KROQ deejay Richard Blade. And you - could tell he's an Arty Eccentric because he walked on stage in a top hat and tiny '60s-style sunglasses, looking like a rock 'n' roll Mad Hatter. But you couldn't tell just how adept Thomas Dolby has become at juggling his roles, personas and styles until he started playing music Wednesday at the Roxy. With his current band, the Lost Toy People, the Los Angeles-based Englishman has whipped up an invigorating mixture that finds him part the synth-pop whiz, part the more atmospheric experimentalist and part a brash, tongue-in-cheek funkster. Crucially, the latter took prece- dence for most of the show. Always an impressive technician, in the past Dolby sometimes became so quirky and self-consciously clever that he was downright annoying. But with a tough, funk-based rhythm section behind him, his music now has real authority and bite to go along with the playful mannerisms and satiric jibes. Dolby concentrated on the manic pop-funk of his recent "Aliens Ate My Buick" album. But he also played a fair sampling of his older material, ranging from such up- tempo hits as "Europa and the. Pirate Twins" to his haunting ver- sion of Dan Hicks' "I Scare Myself,". which led into a terrific closing segment. Here the grooves got harder, the performance more spirited, with the only drawback being that the tough, sassy assurance of new songs like "Hot Sauce" and "Air- head" made the set-closing "Hy- peractive" sound cluttered, frenet-· ic and . . . well, hyperactive. But maybe that's the point-and after all, it's not a bad dilemma to have new songs so good they make your "classics" pale by comparison. -STEVE POND Paris' Ghetto Blaster -Hooked on a Fela he Afro-French octet Ghetto TBlaster probably didn't need a lengthy post-set skull session to pinpoint the high spot of its local _deb .at.the la ing C lossus dub arresaa1 v-.~~~~~~~~~~ When Ben Sourisse kicked off "Na Waya" with a circular key- board riff, the band locked into a smoking performance that recalled the mid-'70s prime of Nigerian musical demigod Fela Anikulapo- Kuti. The proof was on the dance floor, where the intensity level among the sparse but enthusiastic crowd escalated dramatically from the polite swaying that had greeted the group's first songs. And the only time Ghetto Blaster seemed fully relaxed on stage came when the the group returned to a Kuti- influenced sound on "New Genera- tion." The band had just flown in from Paris and performed without a sound check, and bassist Willy N'For's had lost his voice-all of which might have contributed to the hit-and-miss nature of the generous, two-hour performance. The weak vocals lacked confidence and were all but swamped in the sound. Ghetto Blaster, formed in Nige- ria in 1982 and later transplanted to Paris, is a second-generation Afri- can-music band that adds contem- porary twists to traditional African pop styles. It was those modern touches-sparkling horn lines, forceful percussion and thrilling dynamic punctuations-that pro- vided the sparks Wednesday. But the group's Pan-African grab bag of styles-brightly tex- tured high-life, straight funk, an African-inflected blues boogie, the excursions into Fela territory- ultimately masked Ghetto Blaster's own identity. Still, there were enough promising elements in the band's performance to merit an- other listen under less adverse conditions. -DON SNOWDEN

This fourth and final concert of the E.A.R. Unit's residency at the museum this season offered four works from the 1980s inspired in different ways by the Minimalist school, three of them also inspired by images from the supernatural. Highlighting the evening was a spirited performance of Frederic Rzewski's "Mary's Dream" (1984), for clarinet, cello, piano, percussion and narrator. Using a text from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," Rzewski achieves a seductive quality through ex- tended sections of amplified breathing by the narrator and pianist. Parodies of monster-movie music pop up here and there, including sounds imitating the fa- mous electronic hardware from Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory. Rzewski's device of repeating a melody, chord progression or text-adding and/ or subtracting elements in each repetition- avoids the simple textures found in some of his earlier music. Use of the ly by Jim Rohrig, also added an appropriate creepiness. The world premiere of Burr van tr d' " on of the.. Vampires," for flute, clarinet, viola, cello, prepared piano and percus- sion, also made musical references to Hollywood monsters, although perhaps not as intentionally as Rzewski does. Glissandos, porta- menti and other extended effects quivered delicately, creating an atonal collage of eerie sounds-and continuing for about 30 minutes. Conductor Rand Steiger accom- plished a multifarious, homogenous mixture of all the instruments. Amy Knoles and Art Jarvinen had fun with a wild percussion coda, while Gaylord Mowrey's sensitive approach to the prepared piano blended nicely in the overall. In Morton Subotnick's "Trem- bling" ( 1983), for piano, violin and "ghost" electronics, rapid, austere patterns are repeated and electron- ically altered into sensuous tex- tures. Pianist Lorna Eder and vio- linist Robin Lorentz performed adroitly. Also on the program was a tight performance of David Ocker's fa- miliar "Pride and Foolishness" ( 1987), conducted accurately but , tentatively by Paul Pretkel.
