Sewell's influence is evident in the Wilson remake of "Time after Time." That's right, Cyndi Lauper, but Miles Davis also interpreted the melody closer to the less-noted curtain call of his career. A slightly dismayed murmur from those who had not heard her new album flowed across the words "Cyndi Lauper" as Wilson introduced the piece. The fear quickly turned into mellow groove, though, as audience members regretted questioning for even a second Wilson's class. Her slightly-lower-than-contralto changes the song completely, as does Sewell's light acoustic background and Plaxico's soothing base...

...This Desire? grows a bit tired in its third quarter, which the structure of Harvey's 2,000-mile framework probably demands, but which nonetheless threatens the totality of the record's spell. "The River" in particular suffers from an inertia rare for Harvey. Its loping murmur is appropriate to the title image, and it's fun to hear her tinkering with brass, but a rather rote delivery ("And they came from the river/and they came to the road") and subjective vagueness (who is "they," and why does it become "we"?) make the song tiresome and opaque...
...meantime, if you took Redux or fenfluramine, be sure to tell your doctor. If he or she detects a murmur or if you develop significant shortness of breath, you will have to have an ultrasound examination of the heart called an echocardiogram to determine whether you need further medical attention.
