Gecko Turner; Irapoam Freire (trumpet); Ruben Dantas, Rodney Dassiff. Lovemonk. 2005.Amazon.com
There’s lots of flashy fun and eclectic elegance to be found on Guapapasea!, the first major stateside release from Gecko Turner. The Spanish performer and producer fronted a series of bands in his native country, and he brings that experience to this charming solo disc. Most likely to make noise are kitschy covers of tunes from Bob Dylan (a slinky Spanish version of “Subterranean Homesick Blues”) and Bob Marley (a hip-swaying “Rainbow Country’), but Guapapasea! is much more than a tasteful novelty assortment. Turner incorporates bossa nova, jazz, funk grooves and electronic elements into his folk-centered fusion. The disc also features support from an impressive array of musicians, including Brazilian percussionist Ruben Dantas, saxophonist Javier Vercher and trumpet player Irapoam Freire. It’s all tastefully done, but Turner saves the wow for the disc’s final tracks. “Dizzie” is a luxurious homage to be-bop legend Dizzy Gillespie and features the rich vocals of Gene Garcia, lead singer of Inlavables. Album closer “45.000$ (Guapa Pasea)” is slyly joyous, its Afro-Cuban groove wrapped around a commentary on African immigrants who end up working as European prostitutes. –Joey Guerra

The Malted Falcon: A Chet Gecko Mystery

Editorial Review
Has anyone seen Mr. Bond–James Bond? Because there is a lizard named Gex who took his identity. One major difference: Gex’s mission is to save television, because a world without TV is an absolutely frightening thought. Gex must complete numerous missions in several game worlds in order to gain control–remote control, that is. Once in remote control Gex must tail whip his archnemesis Rez into submission before TV will be safe for all future generations.

The graphics are good, but the continuous movie-based one-liners by Dana Gould quickly become irritating. One other drawback is the game’s camera, which rotates around you at a sloth’s pace. This makes it difficult to see any enemies in your path, and accurately gauging distances becomes frustrating. Despite the viewing troubles, the learning curve is easy and the straightforward plot makes Gex: Enter the Gecko great for the younger crowd. –Hugh Arnold

Pros:

• Easy learning curve
• Straightforward plot
• Relatively nonviolent

Cons:

• Annoying commentary
• Difficult camera
