Weekend - Carnival Headache. Weekend - Drum Beat For Baby. Weekend - A Life In The Day Of. Part 1. The airy arrangements and exotic rhythms throughout La Varieté sound like low-budget approximations of Antonio Carlos Jobim, although A Life in the Day . 1 & 2 is a stab at African high life, and Nostalgia minus the vocals could be one of U2's early instrumental B-sides. In short, the album is nothing like what you would expect from former Young Marble Giants vocalist Alison Statton, excepting the song Drum Beat for Baby, which mimics the unique sound of her previous band.

Statton began writing with Spike of Z Block Records and Reptile Ranch in Cardiff, Wales in the summer of 1981 before moving to London where she teamed up with Simon Emmersonof Methodishca Tune.
