Synthesizer is used frequently, but as much to sweeten the sound as for futuristic effects. A few songs capture the more extreme quirkiness on the debut album. "Shoo Be Doo," for instance, is a brief, chaotic futuristic piece that segues into the title track, a dark, crisp song with deep Bowie-influenced vocals. In general, though, these songs are more subtle than those on the first album, with fewer of those bizarre hooks that sounded so strange on the radio. Clifford Brown tape CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH.

"Live at the Bee Hive" (Columbia JG 35965) This double-record album is from a tape of a Nov. 7. 1955 date in Chicago made not long before the jazz trumpet player Brown, from Wilmington, was killed in an automobile accident. The Brown-Roach band included saxophonist Sonny Rollins for the date. Roach has had this tape for years but is quoted in the liner notes as having found it too depressing (in light of Brown's untimely death) to release until now.

The sound quality is poor but the bop playing is great. "60s punk rock PEBBLES, Vol. 1. (BFD Records BFD-SOlfi) This is an anthology of '60s punk rock. That's right.

Around 1965 and 1966 young American bands, emulating the successful British Invasion groups, sprang up everywhere. Their sound was often crude, with basic instrumentation, but it was also powerful. The best-known such groups include the Count Five, the Seeds (the punk movement also included By GARY MULLINAX Record companies made room for a lot of previously unknown bands last year, thanks largely to the assault of the New Wave. The two bands who profited most from the trend, however, were only partly New Wave and probably were not perceived as such at all by most of their fans. Dire Straits and the Cars had the most important debut albums of 1978, combining chart-climbing commercial success with critical acclaim.

Now come the follow-up albums. While most of the songs on both albums were completed before fame arrived, the two new records will be carefully scrutinized for signs of staying power from the two groups. Both albums are successes, particularly the one by Dire Straits Warner Bros. HS 33150). Aside from the single "Sultans of Swing" and a few other tunes, the first album was pleasant but not outstanding.

On the follow-up, leader Mark Knop-fler sings and plays guitar with more authority, and the album is consistently first-rate, even if no one song is as grabbing as "Sultans." Dire Straits take from the New Wave its no-frills, highly-rhythmic approach to music. Even more, however, the group is influenced by such diverse styles as jazz (particularly in Knopfler's finger-picking electric guitar playing it's perhaps the best guitar playing in rock today), Bob Dylan (though less so on this album and the Tulsa sound. The latter is most in evidence on the new record. "Tulsa" means people like J.J. Cale and, thanks to his Tulsa-style backup band.

Eric Clapton. It's mellow but driving in a hypnotic way. Producers Jerry VVexler and Barry Beckett of the Muscle Shoals recording studio) have brought out this feeling. Still, the Dire Straits' rhythm is more crisp and insistent than you'll hear from Cale or Clapton. The Cars' debut was more commercially successful than I thought it would be, though it clearly had the potential.

The Boston group's sound featured a terse, even eerie angularity and a mechanistic rhythm, calling to mind the New Wave Talking Heads, but there were enough mainstream touches to appeal to the mass market. The new album Elektra 5E-5o7i smooths things out a bit. The angularity the swoops in the vocals, the jerki-ness is mostly underplayed. The vocals tend to be less sinister. The rhythm remains mechanistic there are echoes of Devo hfg.
