Simple the album is not. Wowed by electronic-rock innovators Bjork and Thom Yorke, Farrell spent years learning how to program computers, spinning turntables as a club DJ and then applying these skills to create what he calls "sexy party jah music." Ambient pulsations and digital blips bubble alongside more familiar rock instrumentation on the CD, which also continues his fascination with swirling raga rhythms and quasi-mystical lyrics. "I took my cues from Bob Marley, because his sounds are warm and organic and inspired," says Farrell. "If the songs get too cerebral or wordy, you can't kick with...
...dancing off from the punch, while at the same time seeming to absorb the punch, to defy the punch. If we paid your exorbitant price for this memoir, you would just do the rope-a-dope again - the brief illusion of candor, the dignified drawing of the curtain, the ambient vapor of self-pity, the appeal to higher, more important issues at play, then long expanses of intricate policy wonkery punctuated by outbursts of humanitarian rhetoric....If we allowed you to flim-flam us into this contract, you'd pull the same stunt...

So-called ambient advertising is exploding as companies eschew traditional mass media in an attempt to get at jaded consumers where they work, shop and play. New Jersey-based Beach 'n Billboard, for example, imprints ads on sand, right. For upwards of $20,000, a company can get half a mile...

Their sound is minimalist, downtempo, chill-out acoustic ambient music, both monotonous and strangely charming at times...
...drive home guitar riffs sharp enough to put Limp Bizkit et al. to shame. But what sets Mutter apart is the group’s newfound attention to dynamics and detail—often, as on the anthemic “Ich Will,” brief ambient soundscapes make the whole track greater than the sum of its parts. The same can especially be said for the opening track, “Mein Herz Brennt,” the best industrial-speed-metal song Led Zeppelin never recorded. Of course, Rammstein is still a band in transition...
