LORI LIEBERMAN—Letting Go (Millenium):: The big number here is "Jingle," which chronicles Lori's failed audition to become the voice that sings the Burger King anthem. She doesn't get the job because she can't imitate any famous singers, and it's pretty ironic that she found this strange. Guess she never had a Whopper. B.A.

DEAD FINGERS TALK—Storming The Reality Studios (Pye)/GLOpiA MUNDI—IIndividual (RCA):; There surely are some strange people emerging from British record companies at the moment. D6ad fingers talk and so do dead heads and hands and feet. The question is what they talk about and these days we get lyric sheets to spell it all out. The message is Gothic gloom and Lou Reed still has a lot to answer for. Mind you, scrap the lyric sheets and I'd like both these records quite a lot. The Dead Fs are less pretentious, more fluent, neatly guitared, while Gloria Mundi, despite their awfully art school-cute image, are nuttier, a little bit UK anarchistic. Recommended. S.F.
