...movements and structured technique of traditional ballet, Jose Limon's "The Unsung," a piece evocative of American Indian ceremonies, jolted everyone out of their seats with its stark contrast in mood. The seven dancers, each representing a historical Indian figure, writhed and twisted across the stage to a silent rhythm maintained only by the stomping of feet and the slapping of palms.

Fatboy Slim does not merely piece together some fragmented synthetic ideas into a five-minute track, but instead evolves the song from the basics to a masterpiece of mixology...
...Walk Unafraid" takes awhile to develop, butthe chorus engages the listener much like "Man onthe Moon" from Automatic For The People. The pianoand the ghostly rhythm of the backup vocals painta complete picture of deep thought with a catchychorus that may translate into popular success.The real victory of Up cannot be expressed in anyone song. The album speaks as a whole and tellsthe story that listeners have been waiting so longto hear...
