10 Music nippy s opper Stakka Bo Supermarket (Pol.vdor)

ell we didn't have long to wait for this, the first album from Sweden's most, and indeed only, musical postmen. Nor is it the Wperfect Euro gag - but it does hold its own with dreadful mid- Atlantic rhyming and nonsensical lyrics that can sound so dear when Bjork howls them. But it isn't nearly the comedy one expects from the home of Ace of Bass and Leila K, those early pioneers of the cod thyme. "Supermarket" is rescued by that third Stereo MC Top Ten Hit "Here We Go". Which is in turn rescued by dint that the Stereos, as the vast fanbase affectionately call them, weren't overly prolific at the time and that Peruvian flutey hook was inspired. There isn't a track here to compete but Stakka Bo will miss the 'one hit wonder' accolade for posterity since the new single, "Down the Drain" is a presentable little number in itself. Stakka Bo might come across like pop-chat floor-filling funsters but deep down they desire the full weight of beatnick respect from the Talkin' Acid Jazz stable. Hence the old skool style nightmare and beanie hats. They could write quite a pop song but would rather panda about with dawdling, down-beat extravaganzas, with none of the flare of the gang of their choice. Time to loose the ridiculous daps. Tipping a chirpy nod in all directions Stakka Bo even include that currently obligatory dope-smoking, blunt-toking ruff bit. Preformed in an embarrassingly poor patois songs seldom come as ridiculous as this and albums seldom as inoffensive. Alex Sanders
