...song. Echoes of Madonna's most recent techno mantra style is quite clear, and William Orbit's synthesizer gets more than its fair share of song time, behind Madonna's vocals. Actually, the techno beat added to McLean's rather folksy song has, shall we say, a dollop more henna than is quite necessary, but it will make for a lovely video. Still, the sensual quality of the mature Madonna draws out feminine nuances in the song, and the nature of her changes in music rather cleverly revises the meaning of the lyrics. Come see the softer side of Madonna...
Madonna's new song "Time Stood Still," is the theme song for the movie, with another huge dollop of computer rendition and enough hot sax to make the stereo sweat. Yet, again Madonna shows her thoughtful bindi-wearing side, singing, "Maybe you're the next best thing to happen/All the things we might have been."

And for the chefs--brash, dashing and at the pinnacle of their artistic careers--their extra-kitchen activities are about creating, and extending, their brand names in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

...mercy of the food. Order the Monkfish with Fennel Puree, Shallot Jus and Chanterelles ($16.95). The capers melt in your mouth, the fish is white and tender and the accompanying mashed potatoes are completely integrated into the whole eating experience. Some restaurants slap down an ice-cream scoop dollop of mushy tuber that screams, "Here, you want starch, you got starch!" Not this place. Here even potatoes are treated as the god of all side dishes and are served with panache...
