...they were soon releasing singles and, eventually, full-length albums. "We have an idea for a text and a general idea about the music," says Moorse, explaining their method, "and then the producers finish it." Steeped in the influence of both avant-garde '70s new-wave bands and slick '90s techno, they have created an irresistible sound, in which synthesizers, samples and drum machines collide with catchy rock hooks and English lyrics that are half sung and half spoken...
...ANGELO VOODOO Slick as chicken grease. Hotter than summer asphalt. D'Angelo summoned old ghosts--Jimi and Marvin--and woke up a new artistic spirit in R. and B. Voodoo (Virgin) is a menage a trois of soul, hip-hop and jazz, all tangled up like lovers caught in the act. Even as D'Angelo pays homage to music's past, he proves the future is in good hands...
...SYNC-RONIZED For kids who divide their waking moments among Britney, Christina and 'N Sync, Trendmasters' three C-Watches ($20) could be timely stocking stuffers.

...visitors, for instance, will find their hackles raised by the inclusion of those essential emblems of California street art, the custom car and the hot rod. But if anything, the trouble is that the show seems rather weak on them. Good that it includes Road Agent, a fabulously slick tomato of a chariot built and lacquered by Ed ("Big Daddy") Roth, dean of car customizers, back in 1963. But if there's one custom job you'd expect to see in a show about the growth of a California ethos but don't get a hint...
