Carrying the rotting wooden planks of a fallen home out of a marsh, shoveling chunks of grass out of wetlands to plant trees there, filling in the white spots of a shed built over the site of a fallen home with red paint and love: all were opportunities to learn and grow.

...expect the headquarters of Telenor, Norway's biggest telecom company, to reflect at least some of its Scandinavian side. Sure enough, meeting rooms are furnished with wooden floors, sleek tables and angular armchairs; there's even a breathtaking view of the Oslo Fjord. But look closer.

But that frame is showing cracks, and all the brains and brawn in the world might not be enough to rescue Tianji Wooden...

The first track, “Bring Me The Head of Paul McCartney on Heather Mill’s Wooden Peg (Dropping Bombs on the White House),” invites the listener into a dream world of primal beats and melodic repeating motifs. This atmosphere ensnares the listener for much of the record, which lasts over an hour, in keeping with the epic proportions typical of the group. The goal...
