...expense account can identify with a character like Hawke's, working a much bigger scam on a bureaucracy quiveringly alert to genetic impostors. A lost eyelash, a bit of exfoliated skin left on his keyboard could undo him--especially when the cops, led by a very querulous Alan Arkin, suddenly descend on his facility and, as they investigate a murder, start subjecting everyone's detritus to genetic spot checks...

Within a half a minute of the start of most songs, however, the vocals come on and destroy any satisfaction the tracks could offer...
