...Hobart's historic Salamanca Place, the Salamanca Market, www.salamanca.com.au, is one of the city's most established tourist attractions. Just five minutes' walk from the city center, it's a surprisingly orderly affair set between a line of graceful plane trees and the mellow sandstone façades of historic warehouses. You'll be entertained by all manner of buskers while you browse stalls selling local arts and crafts (hand-worked glass and Tasmanian timber feature strongly). Afterward, wander up the Kelly Steps, built in 1839 to connect Salamanca Place with nearby Battery Point, one of the city's oldest...
...spera” is far from a disappointment. Mirah’s songs are lyrical blends of exquisite vocals for which the always varied musical accompaniment is like perfectly chosen punctuation. They coalesce to make a calm and collected sweetness. And despite the overall softness, Mirah still infuses her mellow songstress sound with the more experimental. “Country Of the Future” is a trippy invitation to dance set to a carnival beat, and “The Forest” has a drum and horn-filled ending that lends it a satisfying hard edge.

...technique can be an incredible ear-sore. One such instance occurs on the unassuming album opener “For Beginners.” All of the instrumentation—the glistening layers of beautiful acoustic guitar and the panflute—are unamplified, giving the song a very mellow and organic feel. M. Ward’s reverb-drenched vocals, unfortunately, feel as alien as bulldozers in an Oregon forest. M. Ward has a fine voice for folk music; why he feels the need to envelope it in reverb all of the time is a mystery...
...highly collaborative writer, eager to work closely with directors and actors. It's a legacy of his days on the road with the leftist theater company he co-founded after graduating from Cambridge University. He arrived at Cambridge in 1965 a confirmed Americophile, having spent six mellow months in California. But soon enough he was studying literature with the Marxist critic Raymond Williams, and spending evenings debating how to cause maximum damage to Britain's ruling class - by bombing Buckingham Palace, Parliament or London's financial district...
