...post-adolescent who not long ago was a child in these hills. Though he's rolling down the other side of 30, Browne's voice has grown in strength, range, and balance; without losing their flow and ripples, his vocals have been clipped for an acute terseness: the voiceovers echo from a manhole now, instead of a deep valley...
...light, weather, distance and time, were seen as the unedited manuscript of God. He had written his designs in great detail, and left his hierophants-scientist and painter -to decipher and interpret them.

They are terribly funny, though, and if a book's price is measured against the laughs it provokes, A Confederacy of Dunces is the bargain of the year. - Paul Gray
...English record producer, who pioneered recordings as a distinct art form; of undisclosed causes; in London. As manager of Decca/London's classical division in the 1950s and '60s, Culshaw presided over a triumphant first complete disc version of Wagner's Ring cycle. His innovations, including echo chambers and speeding up and slowing of tapes, are standard procedures today...
