Batesfield 3:58
The angst found in Audioscam's approach to the music of Abba gone hard rock comes back with a vengeance on this original. In fact, it rocks harder, with an edgier feel and real determination. The guitar underlines and defines this new five song e.p. in a majestic yet cutting way. Songs about girls and their complexities continue the Audioscam saga, but Batesfield opens it up and lets it rip. It's Americana for the folk rock of the United States, but down under it's Australiacana - imagine the Allman Brothers deciding to go Tom Petty as the guitar battle leads the way on the fade out at 3:58.
JUST LIKE JAMAICA
"Awayo" on Audioscam 3 contains a lighthearted froth that was fun pop with a quasi Caribbean, perhaps even a Mediterranean flavor, as does "Bridgetown Girls," but here with Just like Jamaica the band redefines its approach. For those who felt Colin Hay and Men at Work went too far to the musically conservative right, Brian Pitcher and Brad Wallace of Audioscam keep the edge and the underground front and center. That doesn't mean the song doesn't have the potential to pop into the mainstream, it does. For those awaiting the sequel to one of Elton John's finest song, "Island Girls," this writer feels "Just Like Jamaica" is it. Simply terrific.
BABY DONE BAD - 3:37
A superbly blitzing opening riff has this track rocking like early Kinks fighting off the Beatles, the guitars keep their short bursts blasting with a melody that could be a second cousin to Humble Pie's classic "Thirty Days in the Hole." "Baby done bad, baby done good" with a little sensual schizophrenia. Short and sweet and to the point.

Hand of Sin 3:59
Smart, techno moves and grooves this stunningly different approach from Audioscam, "Hand of Sin" can charge up the dance floor and begs for a lengthy dance mix. The production is pure dynamite and the song structure, melody and theme all dynamic and extremely appealing.

Get Used To This 3:59
The rhythmic guitars and leads dominate on an equal setting with the vocals, but it's the keys and jingle jangle guitar that beg for more airtime. There are all sorts of musical delights that weave in and out of the production, and this tune in particular would work with multiple mixes. There's so much on the buffet platter, tasty sounds that buoy the song
