...Marrakesh, the 900-year-old "Red City," Winston Churchill spent long hours painting the vast expanse of date palms against the haunting backdrop of the Atlas Mountains. Now pleasant French nouvelles riches wear mink or sable coats as they trip down to the Mamounia Hotel's heated pool.* A few blocks away, in the teeming public square known as Djemaa el Fna, or Assembly of the Dead, robed Berber men and veiled women chew on fried locusts while they watch snake charmers toy with defanged black cobras, or listen to interminable tales of storytellers perpetuating the tradition...

Once that's out of the way, the boys get down to music with their hard-rock top seller, I Can See for Miles; I Can't Reach You, a tightly vocalized rock piece with a brisk tambourine; and Armenia City in the Sky, a sprightly mind excursion with soft feedback and subtle imagery.
