Hey, I saw my name in here! :)
Dead on with this record man. "I can't wait" and "Point of No Return" are both great songs. Poolside is an okay record, but there just aren't any hooks on Told U So.
I don't think I'd ever seen the video for PONR before - boy, that's miserable!

Does anyone have the 2 remixes of Are you looking for somebody Nu from the Original 12" for download? Thanks! forcefitness@yahoo.com

Not to worry, Mr. E...I think you'll like what we've got coming up next.

I had a cassette copy of this album that I think I bought from the Tower clearance outlet for 99 cents. I got it specifically so I could own "Should I Say Yes", which is a great song and I remember as being a fairly big R&B hit. Can't say I remember one thing about the rest of the album. I'm glad my guess was right and Nu Shooz was the group in question. They would so kick Boy Meets Girl's ass in a synth-pop fight.

I have to admit, I love "Point of No Return." I had a mild crush on Valerie Day back in the, um, day.
Great lost power pop supergroup of the '90s, eh? That has to be the Grays. But what's with this "final month of the series" nonsense? You're killing one of my favorite columns? Selfish bastard.

Grays - yes, now THAT is a very fine power pop group. I also nominate Will Owsley's solo debut "Owsley" for a contender.

It looks like Debbie Gibson stole Valerie's hat from the album cover...
I'll join the chorus that likes "Should I Say Yes?" (Remixed by Mantronix...tronix..tronix...!) and Poolside. I'd like to hear their first record, which I think was more electro...
I'll guess the 'great lost power pop supergroup of the '90s' will be Gutterball.

"By a startling coincidence, I exude an eclectic ‘Baked Beans meets Irritable Colon’ mix of soul, jazz, ambient, exotica, world music and film noir.” Fan a fart, it's still a fart.

The great lost power pop supergroup of the '90s... Jellyfish? But their stuff isn't out of print, is it?

For the 'great lost power pop supergroup of the 90s' I was first thinking of perhaps Bad English or Damn Yankees, but I'm guessing we won't call them power-pop. I would guess though that "Backlash" by Bad English is out of print and there's probably a good chance "Don't Tread" by D.Y. is out too. Should I be concerned that I know these cd's off the top of my head?
