Suddenly the computer is barking out directions in a synthesized voice: "Go north on Henry Hudson Parkway!" "Go southeast on I-95, Exit 1A, 2 min. 59 sec. away!" It's at once creepy and reassuring. Karyn steps on the gas. "I feel I have to keep up," she complains. But wait! Following the signs south would take us to New Jersey. That's not right. We ignore the computer this one time and head north. After that, we follow the rest of the directions to Hanover, N.H., without incident; even when we wander off course, the green arrow shows...
...Bronson wants you to feel Silicon Valley's heartbeat. He wants you to know why people pour in from around the globe to struggle at no-name start-ups and fight for $1,200 studios next to strip malls. The valley is the epicenter of the digital revolution, the soul of change. Its lure must be more than a crass grab for cash, right...

Says he: "If we didn't get it now, we're very, very close...
...album is a memorable Ziggy Marley original titled Many Waters. The song has a rolling reggae rhythm and a funky bass groove, with Ziggy's murmured, soulful vocals smoothly layered on top. As in the band's cover of High Tide or Low Tide, there's a prayerful feel. The song never explodes; it builds and yearns and pushes on. Cedella and Sharon Marley add soft, sweet backup vocals. The song's sleek lines are evidence of the band's ever sharpening skills and broadening artistic ambition--pop melodies no longer satisfy. They're looking to create moods, evoke feelings...
