...Heartbeats” (which in turn was most famous for appearing in a cover version in the Sony “bouncy balls” TV commercial), Swedish duo The Knife return with a dark, processed, captivating sound. This is middle path electronic music, too weird and meandering to be considered dance, but still far too beat-driven to be mistaken for anything too experimental. Drum machines and synthesizers dominate, giving the album an icy and Continental feel. But there are enough vocal hooks strung along the moonscape that it is still recognizable as pop, albeit a kind bound...
There are no simple answers when it comes to Lost.

...time Academy Award winner is undeniably mis-cast. When I do free association with Swank’s name “femme fatale with a bizarre English accent and a weird rat-like flower in her hair” is not one of the phrases that I generally come up with. She trills lines like “The family’s in Laguuuuuuna!” as if she is playing Katherine Hepburn in a drag show...
