...tracks are the main attraction on their new album, Arrhythmia—12 mind-bending pieces machine-scrubbed to freshness. “Dead In Motion” is infested by computer glitches that threaten to tear the song apart as electric squelches and null-lines further the sense of claustrophobia. “Ping Pong” uses, appropriately, the sound of bouncing ping pong balls to accentuate its streamlined boom-bap. “Silver Heat” juxtaposes jazzy scat with fat analog bass, and “Mega” swells suddenly into an awesome Wagnerian...

Because while Barak has thus far failed to tempt Arafat to accept 95 percent of the West Bank and all of Gaza, as well as a patchwork of Jerusalem neighborhoods, Sharon has said that Oslo is null and void and that his idea of peace involves no further Israeli withdrawals from the territories Israel occupied...
