SlNGLE reviews.

SPOOKS: Things I've Seen (Artemis ANTCD6706722). This impressive US outfit release their debut single which features on the Once In The Life soundtrack. Produced by Rick Dahrouge, it is an infectious blend of Fugee-style hip hop, and is B-listed at Radio One. (January 8)

DUSTED: Always Remember To Respect And Honour Your Mother - Part One (Go Beat GOBCD36). Dusted is an impressive side project from Rollo, best known as the lynchpin of the Faithless collective. The trademark lush production remains but the emphasis is on downtempo ambience rather than dancefloor frenzy. (January 8)

HATIRAS: Spaced Invader (Defected DFECT25). Featuring Slarta John, who

featured on Basement Jaxx's Jump'n'Shout, this house track is a blast of fresh air. B-listed at Radio One, it can be expected to break through commercially. (January 8)

RECOMMENDED FATBOY SLIM FEAT. MACY GRAY: Demons (Skint SKINT60). Norman Cook's downtempo gospel vibes are given an injection of soul courtesy of Gray, who gives a predictably sterling performance in what is the Fatboy's most commercial single since 1999's Praise You. (January 8)

BAD MEETS EVIL FEAT. EMINEM & ROYCE 5-9: Scary Movies (Mole UK MOLEUK001). Taken from the film of the same name, Scary Movies is a typically surreal slice of hip hop featuring the bratty helium-fuelled vocals of Eminem, and is the first of a run of releases taken from the Scary Movies soundtrack. (January 8)

EBTG VS SOUL VISION: Tracey In My Room (VC Recordings VCRDDJ78). Ben Watt is the man behind this effective blend of Tracey Thorn's vocal from Wrong and Soul Vision's remix of Kings Of Tomorrow's Come Into My Room. With the EBTG original having reached the Top 10 in 1996, this could make a dent on the chart. (January 8)
