Yes, it’s almost all relentlessly peppy, but since when is this such a bad quality? The Go-Go’s have made two ultra-peppy LPs and nobody laughs at them (in fact, eyes,” Shields said.

Certainly these singles can’t be the reason people •laugh at Abba. They’re all here—“SOS,” “Take a Chance On Me,” “Does Your Mother Know,” “Super Trouper,” the list goes on and on. There are a couple of duds, yes. “I Have a Dream” still sounds like something from “The Sound of Music” (that chorus of children certainly helps ruin it), and one of two new songs, “The Day Before You Came” contains the cheesiest lyric since Jon Anderson added words (terri ble ones!) to the “Chariots of Fire” theme. But the other new song, “Under Attack” is a phenomenal piece (destined to be their next hit single? I think so.) One listen to “The Singles” and Human League doesn’t seem so innovative anymore. Though buying this album is perhaps a little embar rassing to anyone over four teen, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Another European group, the Germany-based Trio, just released their first EP (extend ed play), titled, appropriately enough “Trio.” This one can not possibly hope to conquer all Americans, but its minimalist new wave sound is rather odd ly endearing. Of the six songs, “Da Da Da I Don’t Love You, You Don’t Love Me Aha Aha Aha” has already become a huge hit throughout Europe, and “Anna--Letmein Letmeout” is fast becoming one. These are both very witty tunes—I particularly like the lat ter’s lyrics, a persistent list of names and the tagline “Let me in, let me out.” While I can’t sing Trio’s praises too high, they are quite amusing for those who like this type of thing--on the other hand, “Energie” could clear a room of non-wavers as quick as anything I can think of would. Maybe that’s the ultimate com pliment. SINGLES Dating? Where the action is! 24 hr. , message, 242-9066. Page 9
