C4 THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR MONDAY, MAY 24, 1993 RECORD REVIEWS Listen through sexist songs for Vince Neil's best cut on album Young Black Teenagers "Dead Enz Kidz Doin' Lifetime Bidz, MCA Records. Reviewed by staff writer Scott L. Miley. Gotta wonder if producer Keith Shocklee is trying to make white rappers look silly. Young Black Teenagers four white male teens tap every pubescent cliche from the last 50 years: up your nose with a rubber hose; Do-re-mi; why must I be a teen-ager The worst threat is, "Smother Brothers, get outta my way suckers." This is bubble gum rap where sampling Mother Goose is as hardcore as it gets.

It works for 12- and 13-year-olds, but otherwise valuable space is wasted. Let's face it, four white guys posing as Young Black Teenagers would seem to want to break barriers and prove that white teens can rap with any blacks. Nope, not these new kids on the block. Shocklee, who helped harden Public Enemy, tries to legitimize YBT with slamming riffs from the Stones' Monkey Man, Rush's Tom Sawyer and Herbie Hancock's Watermelon Man. But the beat-oriented singsong can't fool kids forever.

Can it? Aimee Mann Vince Neil "Exposed, Warner Bros. Records. Reviewed by staff writer Dorothy Pugh. A A Despite his hard-rocking reputation, ex-Motley Crue member Vince Neil's strength on this release is found in the ballads and the best cut, Forever, is at the very end. Guitarist Steve Stevens, who handles his searing solos on the harder tunes ably, truly shines on the closing cut, backing Neil's voice with a subtle range of jazz-flavored chords.

Even Stevens' touches can't save the sexist, cliched rockers that fill up the rest of the disc. Fine, Fine Wine and Can't Have Your Cake have absolutely nothing to do with food (now, why aren't you And the two worst cuts on the album have already hit radio play-lists: You're Invited (But Your Friend Can't Come) and Sister of Pain. I guess there is a message in the lovely balled called Can't Change Me (which was written by a pair of rent-a-songwriters turning up all over the place these days: the Damn Yankees' Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw) that I should hear. But I do wish Neil would see that soft can be cool, too. Mann's success formula is notable: Her vocals are strong, yet flexible enough to display a sass and nuance reminiscent of the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde.

Instruments rarely used anymore in pop music (mellotron, chamberlins and glockenspiel) add charm to her stylish melodies; Way Back When even conjures a Sgt. Pepper's familiarity with its snippets of fanfare and crowd noise. Song themes of lost love, despair and revenge might ordinarily send the writer and listener down a path of self-pity and misery, but Mann protects herself from that pitfall with an insolent wit. In Stupid Thing, a song directed to a former lover, she scolds, "You stupid thing, speaking, of course, as your dear departed." In I've Had It, about the music industry's ambivalence in general and a particularly bad gig when she sang with Boston-based 'Til Tuesday, she observes how "they don't give you any hope, but they'll give you plenty of rope." Radio stations'. Give Aimee Mann some hope.

Play this Iguanas "The Iguanas, Margaritaville Records. Reviewed by staff writer Jo Ellen Meyers Sharp. 11112 This 12-track de-r 7 disc is hard to categorize musically, but the word fun comes to mind. It's an eclectic musical collection that includes a little Spanish, a little Cajun, a little A 1 1 You Going). Don't Treat Her Mean is a rocker.

A favorite is Fortune Teller, written by Naomi Neville, an amusing tale of seeking advice and falling in love with the adviser. Most of the other tunes are written by Joe Cabral, who sings, plays tenor sax and a bajo-sexto (a Mexican rhythm guitar), and Rod Hodges, a vocalist who plays guitar and accordion. They keep the musical scene ethnically rich and full of surprises. We're apt to hear more from this band. Wynton Marsalis Septet "CM Movement (Griot New York), Columbia Records.

Reviewed by staff writer Jay Harvey. A fellow named Aristotle once looked around him at the drama that he knew and described it in The Art of Poetry. That text then dictated to the European theater for centuries how a play should be written. Albert Murray is no Aristotle, but in a 1976 book called Stomping the Blues he described jazz as it had come down to that time. A few years later, along came a brainy trumpeter named Wynton Marsalis and eagerly took Murray's lyrical prose as prescription.

To wit: The fountainhead of jazz is the blues, and any borrowings from Europe that weren't absorbed at least 50 years ago aren't wanted. And jazz, through dance, is a secular counterpart to the holy sway of black Christianity. In Of' Movement, Marsalis makes his debt to Murray explicit. Agree with his polemics or not, this two hours of music brilliantly expounds the thesis. As a composer, Marsalis has the wide-ranging imagination of the Imago Records Patrick Rains Associates Whatever a solid solo effort.
