Product Description

From the Label
Former Transvision Vamp star Wendy James returns to the music scene as Racine with a brand new album Number One. Racine fully embraces the DIY punk ethic – the debut album and the single "Grease Monkey" which precedes it, are self performed, self produced, and self written. Number One is a cool slice of futuristic pop with an electronic edge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pop art., 2 Mar 2005
By A Customer
I am writing here because I saw there were no reviews and would like to convince anyone who's not sure about it to give it a shot, because this album is one of the most interesting and satisfying I've heard in ages.

However if you're looking for more Transvision Vamp-style rawk, forget it. Number 1 is really raw and kinetic, much more akin to late 70s/early 80s post-punk/dub, like the Raincoats and the Slits debuts, where Tranvisions Vamp's albums, and even James' solo album released in the early 90s, are more assaulting.

I'm not a huge Wendy James fan so I feel no loyalty to her music (I didn't even know it was her when I got it - it was a Christmas present), but I do like experimental, alternative music and can see Racine won't be coming off my Latest playlist (NOT on iPod, can I just say!!) for some time yet.

Give it a go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Setting The Record Straight, 6 Jul 2006
By Mark Elmer "Markie Mark" (North Harrow, Middx, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I actually brought this CD quite recently & I can't understand why there is so much malice in one of the reviews. It is not a bad CD at all & the comments about Wendy James smoking & looking her age are just childish!!

This CD does have some good songs on it & I think she actually perfroms quite well. I have recenly rebrought the Transvision Vamp CD's & her solo effort "Now ain't the time for your tears" written by Elvis Costello & quite liked that as well. If indeed Wendy James did all the Music, vocals & wrote all the songs for this project then fair play to her & I look forward to the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars wendy finds her muse, 26 Dec 2005
If you liked wendy's voice in her old trans' days then you will like this. the music/tunes for this are nothing like her former stuff and all the better for it. this was one of my fave cd's of 2004/5 and deserved more publicity in the uk, not just sniping reviews from hacks still out to get wendy for her over confident sins back in the 80's/90's. If you want an album of cool minimilist funky punky silly experimental sexy fun that gets better with ever play, then forget what you thought you knew about ms. james and buy this album, you won't be disappointed.

Then this isn't the one for you. A Bontempi keyboard demo song is more tuneful. Sadly, after Wendy's 90's solo album (includes the great London's Brilliant) she seems to have lost... Read more
