...eight tracks are lovely too, especially "quand j'aime," and the atmospheric "l'esquissse de l'esprit." Lee fronts her simple synthesizer and accordion with an undressed voice that quivers as it delivers; and then digitally deconstructs it through brother Cleve's best technology.

Everything is frenetic, violent, and rough-cut in retaliation against the stuffy conformity of yuppie existence: in this angst-ridden world, movies have violent spurts of hardcore pornography, people commit random acts of senseless whoopass, the corporate oppressor gets his well-deserved comeuppance only after a violent "brawl"-even soap...
