KITCHEN NET Next time you have an epicurious.com emergency, CMi Worldwide hopes you'll reach for its iCEBOX, a 9-in. TV with Web access, e-mail, an audio and video CD drive (but no DVD player) and spillproof wireless keyboard. The $500 unit, due out in March, only works with the company's own $20-per-month Internet service--a drawback for those already online with another service. Designed specifically for the kitchen--a bracket, sold separately, makes it a space saver--the iCEBOX can do something few other info appliances can: connect to closed-circuit cameras for monitoring...
Luzhkov, however, has been dogged by a relentless Kremlin smear campaign. Last summer, for instance, rumors circulated that the government was planning to release damning kompromat (compromising materials) about him. One version current in the Duma was that this would take the form of a tape, either video or audio, of Luzhkov ordering the murder of a business rival. No tape ever surfaced, but the prospect of a brutal war of charge and countercharge reinforced the urgings of some of the mayor's advisers: forget about the presidency, back someone else and position yourself to be the great reformist Prime...
...dynamic percussion artists of the Blue Man Group have translated their widely-acclaimed stage show into a purely musical experience.

The album opens with the power of ringing guitars and tight percussion assaults which combine to form an exciting, tension-filled narrative. Hollow echoes and vivid peaks evoke images of creation and destruction, and tracks like "Rods and Cones" and "Drumbone" will appeal to the electronic sensibilities of any Lansdowne Street...
...from the original Fantasia, in which Leopold Stokowski hypnotized an anonymous band of Hollywood studio musicians into sounding just like the Philadelphia Orchestra in its blazingly vital prewar prime. Even the ancient paleo-stereo sound track of that sequence has a raw, visceral impact missing from the glossy digital audio heard elsewhere in Fantasia...
...project that exists only in live, improvised performance. During each performance, the three musicians (Hatim Belyamani '99, Shawn Feeney '99 and David Horn '00) communicate with each other through visual symbols that correspond to musical parameters and instructions. Every performance is a continuation of the last and uses audio and sometimes visual recordings of previous shows as raw material to be recombined. The musicians incorporate these samples with new, acoustically-produced sounds using a variety of instruments (including guitars, cello, slide whistles, digeridoo and sheet metal). For the show, the group will be playing with two guest saxophonists, Jon Natchez...
