...same old: heavy riffs, ambitious solos, and tender moments disintegrated by explosions of prog power. The album unabashedly flaunts its rock theatrics, with tracks divided into acts and scene. There's even a cast of characters. Although some tracks like "Overture 1928" and "The Spirit Carries On" reek of Rush's 2112 and Pink Floyd's The Wall respectively, the surprisingly original collection of musical scenes relates a hypnotic story that is enthralling, terrifying and satisfying when examined as a complete, work. Each member of this incredibly talented ensemble contributes considerably, along with the additional sumptuous, inviting and quivering vocals...
...Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra. I spoke with both of them before a rehearsal earlier this week. They started studying the timpani in grade school. Neither of them said exactly why they were first drawn to the instrument, but they both agree that there is a sort of adrenaline rush associated with the timpani's wildly expansive dynamic range. Beaver points out that he gets to play everything from the gentle, dying heartbeat in a requiem to great, rolling sforzandos where he "comes in like the hand of God," a not unsatisfying experience. Ganksheim also admits that he enjoys the timpani...

If you rush, you can become a human doorstop. If you wait, you're left hanging for a full rotation. Bea Beaulieu, a Science Center security guard who has been navigating the spinners for years, holds the secret to the rotating doors. "You have to scoot," she says, doing a sample "scoot" dance in her Wackenhut uniform. To "scoot," you need to be in tune...
...Scorsese's new film Bringing Out the Dead is played in a sort of stunned frenzy by Nicolas Cage, is a New York City paramedic working Hell's Kitchen on the aptly named graveyard shift. He's been on the job too long, and lately its only compensation--the rush, the high of saving a life--has eluded him. He's famished, but he can't eat. He's exhausted, but his sleep is haunted, particularly by the vision of a young woman who died as he tried to bring her back from death...
