Nu slechts € 14,99 Kim Wilde's second album didn't score any hits on the level of the debut's ''Kids in America,'' although the dramatic ''Cambodia'' was a sort of cult favorite in some circles. That said, it's a far better album than the patchy debut; the songs, again by brother Rikki Wilde with occasional collaborations by father Marty Wilde, don't have the bubblegum tinge that colored much of 1981's Kim Wilde. The arrangements are more synth-oriented, at times approaching the dark atmospherics of Japan or Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. The occasionally melodramatic lyrics cover topics like police brutality and paranoia -- unsurprisingly, new insights aren't much in evidence -- and even the love songs, like the delicate ''View from a Bridge,'' aren't exactly happy. The overall vibe of this album is so chilly that the one basically upbeat song, ''Can You Come Over,'' sounds really out of place, but overall, it works. Wilde sings with a clinical detachment here that suits her voice quite well; whenever Wilde tries to emote musically, the results sound forced and melodramatic, but her icy edge on this album is surprisingly appealing. [Cherry Pop's 2009 edition added five bonus tracks including the single version of ''Cambodia''.] ~ Stewart Mason
