...Feng, who came to the U.S. from China in 1986, showed an incomplete collection: no coats, few casual outfits. But she looks to be a virtuoso with materials. From cut velvet to georgette, she made everything seem like gossamer and draped it skillfully on the body. Byron Lars, who is just 29, put on the most dazzling show of all three cities, full of swagger and unabashed theatrics, with the most sophisticated music -- ranging from bongo drums to Delibes -- since the early days of Lacroix.

Those pieces are really the "Sister Ray" and "The Gift" of the TKP catalog, the songs themselves being New Zealand's lonely, anguished closest answer to the Velvet Underground; in all honesty, anyone who thinks she or he likes VU would do well to check out these records. The double LP costs the same as the CD and has a very cool foldout lyric sheet; if you can't find either one, send $9.75 to Ajax...
