No 5: May 28th

The lads from Eastbourne, Toploader release their first album to mixed reviews but as ever the public are making up their own mind, giving the album Onka's Big Moka a no 5 kick-start on 29th May. The breakthrough single Dancing In The Moonlight, and the top 10 hit Achilles Heel are joined by nine other lightweight yet likable tracks. Dave Eringa who also worked with The Manic Street Preachers has produced. Some reviews suggest too many influences - Reef, Van Morrison, Dodgy - and too much hemp-induced "Jangly cheeriness" says Q, "droopy-eyed optimism" says Select... Still, won't sound bad while relaxing on a deck-chair this summer...
