FALL ALBUMS : In Brief : ** The Candy Skins, “Space I’m In,” DGC.

This British quartet’s debut bears the inviting British folk-rock-pop stamp of Prefab Sprout, Deacon Blue and Martin Stephenson, but it’s too well-mannered and well-meaning (e.g. a quaint version of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”) to make a mark of its own.

Four asterisks: excellent; three stars, good; two stars, fair; one star: poor.
