Frenetic energy is the dominant force propelling GO!--maybe not the most varied but definitely the most adventurous effort by Letter To Cleo. The album's opening right-hook "I Got Time" blasts off into the sonic stratosphere at the heels of Hanley's introduction, "that's the greatest picture I have ever seen/so I stole it for myself so you could see just what I mean/and this alluvial fan it represents my life/I've go the strength the move but...why should I." The beauty of her songwriting lies in its mystery--are the lyrics scatter-brained, piecemeal irrationality...
...fashions and outlandish videos. On his solo debut, however, the originality and energy of the image never seemed to match that of his music (except with the hit "Woo-Ha"). Although a creative lyricist, Busta delivered his fractured stream of consciousness flow in both a smooth sing-song and sonic growl with an energy that very few rappers can match. But none of this could disguise the fact that the music was weak and uninspired. On his second solo effort, When Disaster Strikes, Busta still hasn't completely solved the problem of finding beats to match his visual and lyrical...
...that the scientists used to unlock that interior was provided by the sun itself: the great, sonic-boom-like explosions that constantly ripple its surface. Using computer techniques similar to those required to produce sonograms of the human body, the scientists followed the sun's sound waves as they raced through its interior and across its surface at speeds of 20,000 m.p.h. "It's a terrible din," says University of Cambridge astrophysicist Douglas Gough. But, he adds, since millions of explosions are taking place at any single moment, their waves can be plotted like a body scan to create...
...Conspiracy Theory" opens, appropriately, with Jerry spouting tales of Nobel prize-winning scientists having their frozen sperm stored beneath the ice skating rink in Rockefeller Center, NASA conspiring to kill the President by conducting sonic tests in orbit resulting in major earthquakes along fault lines (the President was going to be in Turkey along a fault line) and perhaps funniest of all, the government putting the metal strip in the new $100 bills as a tracking device; Jerry generously warns a female passenger that if she has any of the bills to get rid of them immediately...
...more like a language than music," he recalls. "Soundwise, it's like the texture of wind." At 19, while playing violin in a Beijing opera company, he heard his first piece of Western classical music, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, which opened up a whole new world of sonic possibilities. He went to New York City to study composition in 1986, and has lived there ever since. "New York is the best place for me," he explains. "It's everybody from everywhere, and something new comes out of it, something blended...
