...browns, black, occasionally lit by a flash of red, as in Glasshouse Mountains, 1958; forms are pressed into a flat dense surface (stamped there, you feel, as by a Chinese seal), but the space also folds in and out, shallow and buckling, like a screen. Sometimes the brushstrokes are languid and creamy, but they are interspersed with a stuttering, rough calligraphy that might have been drawn with a twig. The broken grid half-conceals figures and friezes remembered from China, India and Bali, mixed with recollections of marketplaces, rituals and washing days...

...make a go of Hipocracy, the upmarket clothing store they decide to open, is not a compelling one. Shopkeeping cannot compare to moviemaking and murder (The Player's topics) in dramatic interest. Peter and Katherine don't even bicker entertainingly as their marriage collapses; they just drawl withdrawal.

...album by Pink Floyd that stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard charts for four weeks, a listener has a distinct sense of deja vu. Mysterious rumbling noises on Cluster One, the first song, set a cosmic tone, and then comes What Do You Want from Me, with its languid beat and spare, spaced-out ambiance.

Given that success, who wouldn't want...
