...dirty skies. In theory, the cure is nuclear power-a vision of clean, cheap electricity and smog-free air. Now that vision is being challenged by a growing coalition of conservationists, laymen and legislators who raise disturbing questions about the dangers of the peaceful atom. The critics are vocal and active-and they are getting results...
...Remember Then" is well reproduced. "Book of Love," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Young Love," and "Silhouettes" also stand out on this album because they sound very much like the originals.

Taj on harmonica builds to a climax rhythmically and melodically-but not in volume-then...

In his rigorously faithful setting of Maeterlinck's moonstruck play about love and fratricide, Debussy ruled out full-blown arias as well as vocal ensembles, and restricted the singers largely to declamation, meanwhile raising the orchestra to a new importance as the main commentator on the action...
