Yale's motto ("Lux et Veritas"), but not Harvard's ("Veritas," no matter what the lighting), tells the Yalies that ultraviolet rays are necessary for the discovery of truth. But it is now apparent that Harvard is plummeting into the same murky depths as that inferior New Haven institution by preventing its students from finding wisdom in the dark...
...spheres apart from the pastoral beauties of Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun or the nautical tone painting of La Mer. Indeed, in its consummate wedding of text to music, the work Usher most closely resembles is Debussy's only completed opera, the shadowy symbolist drama Pelleas et Melisande. The tormented Roderick Usher, Poe's unhappy protagonist, is depicted in agonized music that is drenched by the misery in the man's soul. Debussy intended Usher to last about an hour; Allende-Blin's realization runs a little more than 22 tantalizing minutes. What a pity that there...
...painted bulls, but for decades few advanced artists had painted a cow, and when Dubuffet did so it seemed to set itself against a whole tradition of animal as heroic metaphor.

Even more surprising was how well Thompson's quintet could rock out. Thompson's nimble fingers easily whipped off the amphetamine pace of "Fire In The Engine Room," "Little Blue Number" and "Tear-Stained Letter" without his usual barrage of accordians, horns, et al. "You Don't Say," the single weakest track on Crowded Room, became a furious dance song, fueled by harmonics and a vicious guitar jam. Throughout, Thompson and Gregson seemed determined to escalate the pace of their frequent duels, culminating in the third encore with a twelve-minute version of a Gregson original...
