...music's no good, give them plenty else to look at: every performance should come with lasers, fireworks, odd costumes and moving sets. It's all about distraction, distraction, distraction. Except when it comes to Amy. Don't mess with...
...Sarah Alexander of Cabaret Mechanical Theatre, a museum of automata that brings its showcase of 10 British artists, including Paul Spooner, to the Phaeno.

The aural pleasure is short-lived, however, as the second half of the album immediately returns to its former banal self. The closing track, “Waiting for the World,” will more likely find the listener simply waiting for the album to end. Once...
