...greatest complaint leveled against the greatest composer of musical theater is inaccessibility. Critics label Stephen Sondheim’s works as cold and unemotional, without music or story harmonious enough to produce a genuine connection with an audience. This claim has extended particularly to Sunday in the Park with George, Sondheim’s Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that, through no small coincidence (but with much irony), investigates an artist who struggles with connection. Sunday is admittedly a challenging piece; it is filled with discordant rhythms and features little attempt at a plot. When well executed, though, it remains perhaps...
...interest in what New York City police were doing. Or if U.S. cops had no idea what their colleagues in France or Germany were up to. But in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, all of them are working together as never before. Lawyers may debate whether to label the culprits from that day as conspirators in a crime or as soldiers in a war, but the investigators know they were both. So thousands of law-enforcement, intelligence and military investigators from two dozen Western nations have banded together with a common mission: to find out who pulled...
...flight of stairs just blocks from the Mongkok police station is A.Room -- the name of the studio, the label and the band's hangout -- the perfect lazy boy's lair. Everything in the front room is centered around a 30-in. television where every night some combination of LMF members and friends are playing Winning Eleven 5 or GT Grand Tourismo 3 on the Sony PlayStation.

...When he talks about the future of the label, Davy starts sounding suspiciously like a studio exec himself. This month he's rerecording and remixing tracks from Singaporean hip-hop group CPJ. ("What they sent us (earlier) was good, but the sound quality just wasn't there.") He's testing music styles for the solo albums of the bad girls of the Hong Kong music scene -- Paisley and Josie Ho. And Davy's got his eye out for the right girls to create Lady Muthaf**ckas. "They're either talented or they're hot," he says of the women...
About 10 years ago, Peter Gabriel predicted that world music, the music of the world’s uncounted, infinitely varied cultures, would be the music of the future, displacing the stagnating Western forms of rock and pop. Despite the brave stand of Gabriel’s Realworld label, and its American counterpart Putumayo, this prediction has yet to be fulfilled (though the stagnation theory still holds true). Anyone who saw Habib Koité and Thomas Mapfumo, two giants of African music, perform to a hugely appreciative crowd in the wood-panelled decorum of Sanders theater will know that this...
