...anchors of the show were definitely the celebrity pieces from Remedy (Astralwerks) like the flamer "Rendez-Vu" (which made vocodering a trip before Cher took it to hell), instant knees-up anthem "Yo-Yo" and totally berzerk "Jump N' Shout," all of which were lauded with cries and sky-jabs from the crowd.

With the sun setting, the sky is etched with a calligraphy of pink clouds, their reflection a soft wash on the river surface. "Well, here it is," Bradley says with satisfaction. He describes boyhood rituals, times when he would "be still and listen to the wind in the cottonwood trees and watch the current carry what it had scoured from half a continent."
