INNER CIRCLE: “Games People Play” (Virgin)

“NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-” Inner Circle’s lyrics have obviously come a long way since last year’s “A-LA-LA-LA-LA-LONG.” True reggae afficionados like meself retch at this kind of stuff; it comes across like a lighter-weight UB40, assuming such a thing is possible. The video features lots of happy Jamaicans dancing around on a sunny beach; these guys deserve death for reducing such emotionally resonant music to the level of a Lilt advert.
