...there are fewer than two or three sides in the secrecy “debate.” The composition of the film is as thoughtfully considered as its visual qualities. Images of white paper fading into darkness and VES professor Ruth Lingford’s ghostly animations are intercut with interviews and newsreel footage, suggesting the simultaneous erasure and cataloging of occult information. As the filmmakers delve deeper into their murky subject matter, the music grows more ominous and the sound stages on which the interviews are filmed darken with layered shadows.Galison and Moss coax surprisingly frank admissions from...

Intercut by melody and vocals (lyrics, even), Vocalcity’s sonic architecture stepped above dance music’s endless formal dialogue to articulate some semblance of “actual” content—even if that essentially amounted to “I love...
