Before the trip, Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan said that "Japan has never completely abandoned its militaristic past in the same way as Germany with the Nazis.

...with a Buddhist mantra psalm of a two thousand-year-old Japanese dialect. Or Julia Scher came back with a spoken word piece about engineering for the environment. So to make a long story short, you can have Julia Scher from MIT sharing a space with someone from Wu-Tang Clan, or Mariko Mori, a conceptual artist singing a Buddhist mantra, skipping to Kool Keith talking about being a schizophrenic.

Let simmer, and you'd have something approximating the R.-and-B. vocal quartet Dru Hill. Dru Hill's vocal recipe doesn't always work--the group sometimes settles for flashy sentiment instead of striving for true emotion. Still, numbers like the thoughtful remake of The Love We Had (Stays on My Mind) and the delicately felt ballad Angel make this CD really cook...
