...here comes Misha, 1983 edition, a busy man indeed. Into his private space-a space he defines with whipping spins, sudden leaps followed by trancelike stillness-comes a very young woman in red (Deirdre Carberry) to be partnered through soupy Glazounov waltz tunes. That is no easy job, since this muse is coltish and blithely selfabsorbed. Three more young women (Elaine Kudo, Nancy Raffa, Amanda McKerrow), wearing costumes that suggest old-fashioned pinafores, glide in and out. At the end, his red-geranium partner's having vanished, Baryshnikov is hypnotized by the retreating figure of McKerrow...
...powerful body sheathed in black, his ready-for-anything Cagney stance, the pouty lower lip that all chansonniers are issued at birth.

For $1,000 more, vocalists can add a small black box that grades their singing by scoring how well they stay on pitch and keep time with the beat of the electronic accompaniment...
...still floats through in its purest form in the jazzy and introspective "All the Love." She also goes back to her old European melodic style in 'Suspended in Gaffa." The incomprehensible lyrics follow a melody as appealing as "Oh To Be in Love" as they wander about on a waltz tempo. She doesn't really need these flashbacks to maintain her image, though. Despite the superficial changes in rhythm, voice and musical texture, the album has the same surreal spirit as its predecessors. Kate Bush is still alive and well and living in a world only her own music...
