New Album Releases
Watch for these new CDs com-
ing out Tuesday, Jan. 30:
Various Artists, The Songs
of West Side Story (RCA Victor):
Leonard Bernstein's masterwork
is paid proper by Phil. Collins
gins
("Somewhere"), Kenny bog
and Wynonna Judd ("Tonight"),
Selena and Sheila E. ("A-Boy
Like That") and a bunch of oth-
er pop and hip-hop stars. Can't
wait to hear Little Richard sing
"I Feel Pretty."
Ray Charles, Strong Love Af-
fair (QWest): Brother Ray isn't
quite what he used to be, but he's
not yet ready to hit the road,
Jack.
Ministry, Filth Pig (Sire/
Warner Bros.): This noise rock
outfit's first release in nearly four
years is loud, pulverizing and ill-
tempered.
Aimee Mann, I'm With Stu-
pid (Geffen): The former `Til
Tuesday frontwoman has always
been a compelling songwriter
and evocative singer. Picking this
one up would be a smart move.
Jon Anderson, Toltec (High
Street/Windham Hill): More
ethereal meanderings from Yes'
lead singer.
Mike Oldfield, The Songs of
Distant Earth (Warner Bros.):
From the "Tubular Bells" guy,
this enhanced CD makes for
pretty good computer candy.
Air Supply, Greatest Hits
Live: Now & Forever (Giant): Go
ahead, buy it. And see if you can
find a sales clerk that won't
laugh at you.
