October 5, 2002... The title-role of Rossini's Elisabetta was written in 1815 as a vehicle for the talents of the Spanish soprano Isabella Colbran, who later became his lover and wife. Her sparkling music is sung on this typically lavish and very fine Opera Rara...

Chopin: Etudes. Perahia (Sony Classical SK 61885).
October 5, 2002... Far beyond cracking the technical demands of Chopin's Etudes, which he mastered many years back, Murray Perahia brings a depth of musicianship and sensibility to tonal shading that make these works sound freshly minted. Above all, the pianist's...

Nelly Feat. Kelly Rowland: Dilemma (Universal MCSC40299).
October 5, 2002... While Hot in the first cut from his 4m-selling Nellyville, raised the bar following Country Grammar, Dilemma cements Nelly's position with what must surely be a huge hit on this side of the pond for the US hip-hop star. Nelly's talent for...

The Calling: Adrienne (RCACD74321968352).
October 5, 2002... The Calling's debut single--the aptly-titled Wherever You Will Go--managed to harness massive ILR support. This pop-rock anthem is in a similar vein but not quite as compelling. However, it is B-listed at Radio One and should appeal to their...

DJ Shadow: Six Days (Island/Mo Wax CID 807).
October 5, 2002... On this new single from the critically-acclaimed The Private Press, the beats are sharp but a noticeable progression from his previous work is lacking. Mos Def appears on the remix and DJ Shadow is tours the UK this month.

Bebel Gilberto: So Nice (East West EW256CD).
October 5, 2002... Gilberto's reworking of Marcos Valle's Sixties classic brings the sensual samba right into the Noughties. Taken from Gilberto's August-released debut album Tanto Tempo (still in the Top 75), it recently topped MW's Cool Cuts chart.

PPK: Reload/Russion Trance (Perfecto PERF41CD).
October 5, 2002... Retaining very much the same formula as last year's hit Resurrection, this follow-up keeps the signature bleeps and soft trance chassis. It looks set to be a club hit if not another crossover smash.

Graham Coxon: Escape Song/ Mountain Of Regret (Transcopic TRANCD020).
October 5, 2002... With "Blur split?" headlines still dominating the UK music press, their guitarist takes the opportunity to release this taster for his third solo album The Kiss Of Morning. Escape Song's psychedelic rock is a sturdy enough offering, but the...

October 5, 2002... After an EP and a promo-only release 12-inch on UK imprint BBE, the Philly resident delivers the second single from his debut solo album The Magnificent. Rock Wit U is fully-fledged soulful R&B with Jazzy's solid beats.

The Beatings: Bad Feeling (Fantastic Plastic FPS034).
October 5, 2002... New band The Beatings benefit from Kevin Shields' (My Bloody Valentine) production tweaks. On this, their second single, dirty garage rock guitars position them somewhere between The Stooges and Sonic Youth.

Doves: Caught By The River (Heavenly HVN126CDRP).
October 5, 2002... This third single from Doves' Mercury-nominated album The Last Broadcast is both achingly beautiful and winsomely melancholy. Doves start a 16-date tour of the UK on November 18.

P.O.D.: Satellite (Atlantic 800139CD).
October 5, 2002... The San Diego rockers release the title track from their current album, following the massive success of Alive and Youth Of The Nation. This punchy track, featuring rap-style vocals and a driving chorus, should have no trouble making a dent on...

Badly Drawn Boy: You Were Right (Twisted Nerve/XL TNXL015CD).
October 5, 2002... Damon Gough displays his songwriting skills with this angular, multi-layered offering from the October 21-released album Have You Fed The Fish? Radio has embraced this single, which is A-listed at Radio Two and B-listed at Radio One.

Rolling Stones: Don't Stop (Rolling Stones/Virgin VSCD 1838).
October 5, 2002... A rather disappointing first single from their brilliant 40 Licks compilation, this is Stones by numbers. The trademark Keef riff is there and Mick is at his most Jaggeresque, but the song just lets them down.

Whitney Houston: Whatchulookinat (Arista 74321973062).
October 5, 2002... This is a comeback single of sorts for Ms Houston which, as always, is great product but just not as head-turning as It's Not Right. Produced by Bobby Brown and Muhammad 2G, the deftness of touch that she has shown in the past appears to be...

Samantha Mumba: I'm Right Here (Wildcard 0659372).
October 5, 2002... This first single from Mumba's next album, due early in 2003, has already been A-listed by Radio One. Written by Kandi, who has penned hits for TLC and Destiny's Child, this is a neat slice of commercial R&B.

Sarah Connor Feat Wyclef Jean: One Nite Stand (Epic 6732642).
October 5, 2002... Connor receives the Wyclef makeover which should help deliver an international breakthrough. With its dense R&B feel, it is perhaps the best song Connor has yet recorded.

Manic Street Preachers: There By The Grace Of God (Epic 2-673166).
October 5, 2002... RECOMMENDED Marking a return to the epic sound of the Manics' classic Design For Life period, this beautiful midtempo gem is one of two new tracks on their forthcoming hits collection. Sung with conviction amid a sweet narcotic pop arrangement,...

JJ72: I To Sky (Lakota 5095292).
October 5, 2002... This eclectic second album from the Dublin trio promises to follow the success of its lead-off single Formulae, which is currently B-listed at Radio One. The angelic voice of Mark Greaney underlines the pop tunes with a rare vibrato. The...

Holly Valance: Footprints (WEA London 0927493722/4).
October 5, 2002... With production from quality names like Nellee Hooper and Phil Thornalley, it is no surprise that WEA London have delivered a fine first album for the Aussie star. Both her excellent singles are here, along with a strong array of possible...

Jeff Buckley & Gary Lucas: Songs To No One (Circus FLY 014).
October 5, 2002... This previously unreleased selection of early material sees the angelic Buckley finding his musical feet. There are alternative versions of songs that went on to appear on his classic Grace album alongside a wealth of demos and oddly touching...

Sparks: Lil' Beethoven (Lil' Beethoven LILBCD1).
October 5, 2002... Coinciding with a London show later this month, this 19th Sparks album is their most bizarre yet. Most of the cuts are built around string quartet arrangements and it is definitely an acquired taste.

Gus Gus: Attention (Underwater H20 20).
October 5, 2002... Although less avant-garde than the debut album, this third project by Gus Gus nevertheless deserves close attention. The Icelandic collective has fused today's electroclash with Seventies Krautpunk to create an experimental soundscape for the...

Jakatta: Visions (Rulin RULINCD01).
October 5, 2002... House maestro Dave Lee proves his versatility with this hypnotic soundtrack-style album. Alongside the hits American Dream, So Lonely and My Vision, it ventures into trip hop, rap and ambient. Unfortunately, despite the quality of his...

Naughty by Nature: iicons (Island/ TVT CID8120/063298-2).
October 5, 2002... With a number of hip-hop anthems under their belts, Naughty By Nature feel entitled to call themselves icons. On this tongue-in-cheek fifth album, Vinnie and Treach play up to the title. No hits on the scale of OPP or Hip Hop Hooray are...

All the charts: exposure.
October 5, 2002... CD UK Performances: Put The Needle On It Dannii Minogue; All I Want Foo Fighters; Love On The Line Blazin' Squad; Put Him Out Ms Dynamite; Underneath It All No Doubt; In Love The Datsuns; The Long & Winding Road Will Young & Gareth Gates ...

(Catalogue: mid & low-price).
October 5, 2002... Traditionally, the boxed set was the ultimate honour bestowed on an artist or genre. Beyond any greatest hits collection, it offered the opportunity for a full career retrospective--a collation of the hits, plus album tracks, B-sides and...
