OO MUCH of a good thing and you get addicted. TThe Adicts are a good thing. Why?... because they're good at what they do. The Adicts are not making any promises of putting the world to rights, of fighting for universal freedom. Rather they're out to celebrate and have a good time.

"I keep a diary as far as it's safe to," he reveals, "but just to remind me what we've been doing over the last year. We've been so busy it's passed in a haze. Certainly there's no steamy love scenes or other torrid scandals in it." What a pity t-, I'm sure you'd all love to discover what Duran Duran get up to in their spare time but if Simon is to be believed, the group are far to busy to have time for smut. Still, there's no denying that Duran Duran have been wildly active, what with releasing their second highly successful LP, 'Rio', touring and globe trotting. They've also been working on an important project which will take them into .'next year ,,-, a video -cassette of their , compositions. "Not until we launched ourselves into the project for 'Rio' did we realise what could be done with the medium," Simon says. "We were filming in Antigua and we decided to make a big bunny out of it.

Pillow talk KATE BUSH: 'The Dreaming' (EMI EMC 3419) QUAINT, ADMIRABLE, unclassified, Kate Bush goes her own sweet way more than ever on this, her fourth LP. The fact that she defies any at- tempt to wrap her neatly into some tidy 'Rock Female' category seems to me one of the most appealing things about her, along with her musical sophistication, witnessed by the fact that she produced the album herself. Though technically the production is hard to fault (a little obvious in places, but it is her first go), arestraining hand would have come in useful during the recording of 'The Dreaming'. The material it contains ranges from the ethereal to the frankly unlistenable (leave It Open'), sug- gesting that alittle outside quality control might not have come amiss. The bizarre and adventurous singles, 'Sat In Your Lap' and the title track, are both present, and amongst the LP's best moments.

OLILDN'T IT be nice to share a desert island with the cute Castaways? The four piece Leicester based group have just released their first single 'Dream Maker', with a *ping calypso beat. The band have been together for a couple of years, and they are Sandra Milne keyboards and trumpet, Jean Mulhearn vocals, Chris Wigmore bass and vocals and Karen Smith vocals and keyboards. "We're not as naughty as Tight Fit, but we don't walk around in gum boots like Dolly Mixture either," says Jean. "1 know some people will probably say 'Oh no, not another all girl group, when they never complain about new all male bands. But we're not about messages or screaming about sexism. 1suppose you could say our songs are a bit like the stuff on the Benny Hill show with more class." 'Dream Maker' was originally called 'Freddie Laker' and it's been a stage favourite of the girls for a long time. Around Leicester they've built up quite a following and were spotted by a talent scout at a private party in a barn. "We really are different," says Jean. "We sometimes dress up in jungle gear, but think we look more like a bunch of Fred Flintstones than sex objects." Chris, the bass player, owns a clothes shop, and designs the band's gear. They all like a bit of variety, from short skirts to slinky cocktail gear. As yet the Castaways haven't given up their day jobs. Karen lectures in art and paints pictures of bands, Jean works as secretary in a record company and Sandra is studying for a degree. "We don't want to fall into the trap of being a manufactured band," says Jean. "We were told that the Belle Stars were asked to record lko lko' because they couldn't sell any singles using their own material. We are apop band and we want to be lots of fun. 1like groups like the B52's." The Castaways are hoping to record an albufn soon, and their next single could be a song called 'Cowboy Joel The mind boggles. by ROSIN SMITH FRIDAY 10 VMITEHOUSE, WHITEHAVEN, CUMBRIA SATURDAY 11 STARS BAR, HUDDERSFIELD WEDNESDAY 15 BUSTERS, COVENTRY THURSDAY 16 THE LIMIT, SHEFFIELD FRIDAY 17 THE PIERPCOLWYN BAY SATURDAY 16 SNOOTYS, PRESTON MONDAY 20 RAFFLES, MIDDLESBOROUGH WEDNESDAY 22 PLAYHOUSE, EDINBURGH THURSDAY 23 THE MAYFAIR, GLASGOW FRIDAY 24 CITY OF LIVERPOOL COLLEGE, UVERPOOL -- MONDAY 27 RISING STAR, BILSTON, Nr.

PRESSURE DROP: 'Rock The House (You'll Never Be)' (US Tommy Boy TB 827) Out of them all this Jamaican accented semi-fierce 1164bpm 12in jolter has to be one of the stronger logical successors to Rockers Revenge, mixing well although with a more Bohannon-ish beat, and including a called out sequence of place names which emphasizes "Falkland Islands".

And howl It started with 'Tears Are Not Enough', on Neutron Records, and currently there's alush, epic fourth chapter called 'All Of My Heart'. ABC are no flash — they're built to last. But Ihave my doubts. Dwindling record sales and the sharp reaction to the greyness of post-punk music have forged anew attitude to the pop record, an attitude so prevalent as to almost reach the status of anew consensus. ABC incapsulate this attitude. In the past 18 months everyone from Rough Trade hippies Scrftti Politti to the boy next door has wanted to be in the charts.

VARIOUS ARTISTS: 'The Best Of British Jazz-Funk Volume Two' (Beggars Banquet/Bega 41) THE MOMENT the front door opens you immediately enter a world of lingering perfume, spreading beer stains and a growing chorus of unbridled working class hedonism. It's always someone's 21st birthday, the stairs are strewn with grappling couples, the bedroom's in most regular service, and the music is always JAZZ-FUNK. Into such a situation slip the imaginatively titled 'Best Of British Jazz- b. Funk Vol Two'. Clocking in at over 80 minutes, this double LP is a wonder- ful party soundtrack and useful guide to some of the better Jazz-Funk to come out of Blighty these past few years. With each song running straight into the next, there's no let up on those fancy steps, no time for those tender moments. All the tracks are extended 12 inch versions of previously released songs and though most benefit from this treatment, there is the occasional tendency to blandness and monotony on the least inspired offerings. Simply, apoor song is made worse by extended play, not better. Nevertheless it's hard to resist arecord featuring Beggar and Co 's phenomenal 'Somebody Help Me Out', Linx's smooth and soulful 'You're Lying' and Ray Carless 's sublime 'Tarantula Walk'.
