A GUY CALLED GERALD – FINLEY'S RAINBOW (Juice Box)

THE SUMMER of 'Voodoo Ray' and that other Manchester sound may be a fading memory but this record rivals its more illustrious predecessor for spaced-out dancefloor action. Its appeal won't be to the hardcore jungle fans because it's fairly tame compared to the most ferocious cutting edge of the genre, but there's a huge crossover and chart potential for this. It's also reminiscent of 'Voodoo Ray' – empty, functional and soulful with occasional spacey female voices and a lead vocal track that seems to be coming from another planet.
