...fundamentalist Islamic groups in the wake of the attack. Already some prominent mullahs have condemned the American actions. In an apparently prophylactic move earlier today, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, one of the most prominent fundamentalist Muslim clerics who heads Jamiat-i-Ulema Islam, and who is one of the most vocal supporters of the Taliban in Pakistan, was put under house arrest by the Pakistani police.

The tempo starts to pick up in the last quarter, but it is too little, too late. Unfortunately, Laetitia Sadier’s characteristic vocal monotone and dense lyrics do not dispel Sound-Dust’s narcotic effect. After listening to Sound-Dust, you will wonder how an intro, and group, with such potential could have resulted in this mediocre recording...
