Sweet Dreams

by Stephen Thomas ErlewineLa Bouche's music is pretty direct. The duo, comprised of Lane McCray and Melanie Thornton, are a Euro-pop combo that turns out tightly-constructed psuedo-disco songs with just enough pop flourishes to make their sound appealing to mainstream listeners. There's not much here in the way of songs -- every track is basically repeated grooves, with a couple of catchy hooks overdubbed on top -- but the sound is quite good and should be appealing to dance fans.
