Will Kim Wilde finally get her deserved recc
Kim Wilde
Another Step (MCA Records)
The U.S. has heard little from
Kim Wilde since late 1982, when
her angry, driving anthem "Kids In
America" found its way into the
Top 40. Coming on like a more
fashionable and articulate Joan Jett,
Wilde won a few months of play on
the then-fledgling MTV, got a
couple of her songs on the
sountracks of movies like Reckless
and Wierd Science - and then
seemed to vanish.
"There's a new wave coming, I
warn you," she proclaimed in her
hit, but for her, the tide was at low
ebb: EMI-America, her domestic
label, never got around to releasing
her hard synth-rock second album,
Select (which was a major hit
throughout Europe) and they passed
on issuing her third effort, Catch
As Catch Can, in the States as
well.
Wilde's move to MCA Records
for Teases and Dares seemed
auspicious, as MCA did issue the
album in the U.S. But they did so
with as little promotion as possible
and, despite some favorable notices,
neither the LP nor the singles ("The
Second Time (Go For It)" and the
fabulous "The Touch") did any
serious damage to the charts.
Now MCA is handling Another
Step in a similar fashion: It's been
available as a import for months,
but is only now being released
domestically. Why the hesitation?
Perhaps the company is afraid to
push a woman with talent and class
at a time when artists like
Samantha Fox and Stacy Q are
competing to see who can fake the
best orgasms to a beat.
At any rate, Another Step is
certainly no embarassment, as
Wilde continues in the aggressive
synth-pop mode she's been
developing since Select. While she
doesn't break much new ground,
she delivers a catchy collection of
stylish dance rock, with a few
pleasing ballads thrown in for
variety. She, brother Ricki and
father Marty also maintain their
consistency as first-rate pop
songwriters, while Ricki's
production give the tunes a clean
sheen.
In the Wildes' hands, the
Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin'
On" becomes a propulsive pro-
duction number; Kim's a great
shouter and she gets a chance to
prove it here. R&B star Junior
joins her in the engaging title track,
while the provocatively titled "Hit
Him" ("in the heart, that's where
it's gonna hurt") is wise advice to a
weak-willed friend being pushed.
around by a carousing lover.
The softer moments find Wilde
in fine form as well. "She Hasn't
Got Time For You" tells the story
of a deteriorating affair from the
perspective of the woman outside,
the one who knew from the start it
would never work out. Wilde's
moving reading and the sinuous
melody are a potent combination
and the result is a seductive,
compelling piece. A Spanish guitar
line gives "Missing" a haunting
ambiance that befits the portrait of
a political rufugee on the run.
Get on the ball, MCA. Another
Step is a solid LP and Kim Wilde
has been out of the spotlight far too
long. Besides, when she bursts into
something as infectious as the
Caribbean-tinged "Schoolgirl" or
lends a resonant vocal to a night-
before/morning-after lament like
"How Do You Want My Love" she
leaves the Whitney Houstons and
Cyndi Laupers
her dust.

Sanford Ponder
Tigers are Brave (Private Music)
Synthesizers seem to be the
musical movement of the '80s, but
I'm beginning to wonder just how
much more can be done with them.
Sanford Ponder's recent release is an
example of the dullness of the
cutting edge in synthesizer music.
Ponder's music leans more
toward a light jazz and even
orchestral sound. There seem to be
two general (and greatly repeated)
themes to the music on this album:
the circus/pipe organ effects of "B-
Girls" and "Pygmies," as well as
the "lay-back-and-relax" sound of
"Evening Song" and "Wyoming I
and II."
Ponder does play a bit with these
