Bush, his friends say, was not the heaviest drinker on campus. He "wasn't a teetotaler and he wasn't a lush," says his roommate of four years, Robert Deeter...
Nobody tells me to kiss her arp. But when she works lush electronic orchestrations like Andrea Parker does, I believe we can work something out. In any case, you really have no choise but to work something out with someone as brazen as Parker. Unfazed by the mob-wide surge for skippy techno, she announced her hatred of Fatboy Slim to the media (market self-sabotage--how will the masses relate?). Just as untimid in her work, she had Depeche Mode, Lamb, the Orb, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Steve Reich come under remixing at her hands before she began work...
...Dogma's greatest shortcoming, however, is glaring: amateurish cinematography. Not one for lush visuals, Smith has never been overly concerned with the aesthetic aspect of movie making. Although inexpert camerawork is not only pardonable in his previous films, but also considered a Smith trademark, the home video ambiance just doesn't work in Dogma. With few action sequences and even fewer special effects, Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy didn't demand much camera movement (even Smith, before beginning work on Dogma, self-effacingly assured that he'd "move the camera this time.") The inconsistent camera angles are so vexing, they...
...abandon and closes in a pile up of distortion and sludge but under it all there are new subtle touches. In "Aurora," what could have degenerated into forgettable mid-tempo filler is saved by spirals of guitar work that slip away as a single chiming guitar builds to a lush conclusion. While it doesn't rock with the fury of Grohl's standard fare, the newfound restraint only adds to its emotional impact. "Learn to Fly," the first single off the album, sneaks sparse, soaring pop into the typical rock scuffle to a stunning effect. It's enough to make...
...been created with one brother in Japan and the other in England. That internationalism pervades into the album, which layers African singing over jazz- and Latin-influenced four-four house beats, throwing in a touch of disco along the way. The production is flawless, and the percussion work and lush flute on "Kariba" is infectious. And their dance music credentials come to the fore when the album finds its groove, as it does with the deep vocals of "Got to Find a Way." There's a too-much-of-the-sameness in the last few instrumental tracks, which seem indistinguishable...
