Interestingly enough, this is the first album the brothers Simon and Robin Lee have recorded together in the studio, their previous works having been created with one brother in Japan and the other in England. That internationalism pervades into the album, which layers African singing over jazz- and Latin-influenced four-four house beats, throwing in a touch of disco along the way. The production is flawless, and the percussion work and lush flute on "Kariba" is infectious. And their dance music credentials come to the fore when the album finds its groove, as it does with the deep vocals...
...Shop Boys have always made erudite dance music. Few other groups, after all, would take a song title from an Anthony Trollope novel (1993's "Can You Forgive Her?"). In Nightlife, their first studio album since 1996's Bilingual, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe stick to their forte...
...soon to be former morning show, CBS This Morning, perennially finished third in the ratings, largely because the network committed scant resources to it. Now it has tapped the high-priced Gumbel and built a sleek, $30 million Fifth Avenue studio because it can't afford not to.

The producers describe their differences with vague intangibles, complete with promises to be "the show for the next millennium...

Martin has just finished another frenzied day as a patent attorney at Hewlett-Packard's Palo Alto, Calif., headquarters, but instead of plunging into rush-hour traffic, he has descended one flight of stairs to the company's yoga studio. Soft music flutes through the room as half a dozen practitioners, high heels and neckties stowed in nearby lockers, bend and breathe to their instructor's directions. "It's wonderful," Martin says, rolling back to his feet. "I come down here and I let everything that's been happening during...
