Songs such as “Atlantis to Interzone” and “Forgotten Works” feature repetitious, heavily rhythmic sections and infectious dance beats provided by live guitar and drum work, all reminiscent of techno and rave. Yet on songs like “Golden Skans” and “As Above, So Below,” the band follows the tradition of melodic pop with their catchy “oohs?...
...Tokorozawa, a sleepy suburb 40 minutes west of Tokyo by train. Clad in a powder blue Lions jacket, with a Lions towel wrapped around his neck, Koike spends the entire game bobbing like a prizefighter in Seibu's official cheering section, where well-drilled fans in blue and white drum and sing personalized anthems every time a Lion comes to bat.

...than just Bright Eyes with a dreamy foreign accent, Patrick Wolf brings a refreshing burst of talent and energy into today’s limping rock scene. With an impressively broad musicality, Wolf takes command of synths, guitars, pianos, and violins. Sporting its fair share of hooks, beeps, and drum machines, “The Magic Position” often hides its own musical depth with flashy pop flourishes. But despite some of this lighter fare, Patrick Wolf certainly proves that he is more than capable of good old fashioned songcraft. That said, nothing’s perfect...
