A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS (Jive/Arista):: Electronic? You bet �lectronic! But I�m still not sure whether this is a different group than Our Daughter�s Wedding, as terminal interchangability seem to have set in among the synth crowd. Most likely you heard these catchy machine rhythms in Kraftwerk years ago, too bad A.F.O.S. didn�t cop those Kraut�s dry-ice wit while they were at it. Instead, we get yet another covey of smug ioe-are-the-artists types, out to wow the alienated with hip dirges. Distinguishing marks, in case you�re still interested in waterfowl-spotting: These gulls are even funnier looking than they already think they so cleverly are! R.R.
