New rder: Power Corruption & Lies : Music Reviews : Rolling…
Rolling Stone – Jun 30, 2007
That’s not to say New rder have turned into A Flock of Vultures or anything. But there’s a newfound boldness on Power that was sorely missing from Movement. n that LP New rder were tentatively trying to break free of Joy Division’s style if not their tone; too often the result was turgid and solemn and sprinkled with the kind of whistles whooshes and beeps that suggest novices halfheartedly tinkering with dance-oriented rock. Working on subsequent singles toward a surer control of the studio and a more ambiguous emotional stance the band hit its stride with the epiphanic “Temptation. ” A tenacious gripping rock-hard dance tune it was also the first New rder song to suggest that maybe love doesn’t always tear us apart – that in fact it just might bind us together though at great risk. (That song and four others make up the highly recommended EP New rder: 1981-1982. )Though not as forceful as “Temptation” the songs on Power glow with confidence – musical confidence mostly… n that LP New rder were tentatively trying to break free of Joy Division’s style if not their tone; too often the result was turgid and solemn and sprinkled with the kind of whistles whooshes and beeps that suggest novices halfheartedly tinkering with dance-oriented rock.

While Steve Morris’ drums weave patterns around the unrelenting kick of an electronic drum machine the band masterfully interlaces layer after layer of sound: Bernard Albrecht’s alternately slashing and alluring guitar lines Peter Hook’s melodic bass playing broad washes of keyboard color from Gillian Gilbert and such percussive effects as chimes. It’s a bracing exhilarating sound equally suited to feverish dance workouts like “Age of Consent” and “586″ as to such murkier more impressionistic outings as “Your Silent Face.

Sex and the Saudi
Telegraph.co.uk – Jun 30, 2007
I saw Shi’ite girls poor girls it was just an eye-opening experience. I thought that girls’ society in Saudi Arabia would be something really interesting to write about. ‘ The book took her six years to complete; she wrote mostly in the evening and during the summer break. At one point she lost interest and wrote nothing for a year. ‘My sister she is like my soulmate my best friend she read a chapter and said “Rajaa you have got to finish this! Believe me no one has written anything like this!” I said I was too busy at school and she said “I’ll help you!” ‘ Already a qualified dentist herself Rasha took on the burden of Alsanea’s course work to enable her sister to write. Is the novel autobiographical? ‘I’m not as crazy as those girls’ she says. ‘I’m not like I must go and party every day… I would write down stuff I heard on Post-It notes and stick them by my bed. ‘ If pressed and asked to name the character she is most like she says Lamees. ‘She is the funniest good at dancing. I am a very good dancer – belly dancing.
High road
Globe and Mail – Jun 30, 2007
We cross the border from Yukon into the Northwest Territories and the road turns into mud soup. Every time the car bottoms out Edwin groans – he’s put holes in more than one oil pan and gas tank. If we break down or get stuck it could be hours before anyone comes by. Here caribou are more plentiful than vehicles. So instead of slowing down we drive fast and steady through the ruts. The back window becomes an abstract painting in grey mud. ur trip had to take place on Tuesday because it’s $3 Scotch night at the Brass Rail in Inuvik’s Finto Lodge… the band plays rock favourites. Strong young Inuit men dance with energetic women in their eighties. We return to the Finto. Now more discriminating we investigate the Scotch stock and discover a $148 bottle. We eat discuss local politics and as the bar fills up we have great conversations with other patrons.

Where Nature’s palette unfolds
Hindu – Jun 30, 2007
With great reluctance we left the field and drove down to the other villages. All along the way we saw charming little wayside tulip stalls where bunches of flowers and bulbs were sold briskly to tourists who eagerly bought them by the basketful. Every time we passed a field cloaked in great big bands of jewel-coloured flowers we were awfully tempted to leap out and explore it and maybe just maybe break out into song and dance. But since many of them were private farms and not all of them encouraged tourists merrily trampling all over the beds we had to be content with just drinking in the sights. And hoping that someday we would get to see the tulips in bloom again. APARNA KARTHIKEYAN Printer friendly.
Signs of hope shine in a restive season
Toronto Star – Jun 30, 2007
James Travers TTAWAIn the dance between natives and the federal government trouble stomps around in boots and progress glides on cat’s feet. So it is that most Canadians will remember the day of protest for the wrong reasons. Snarled traffic and cancelled trains will do that on a holiday weekend. But they also draw fleeting attention to a national embarrassment that only occasionally pricks the country’s conscience. "There’s a subliminal level of guilt that rises to the surface with big events" says pollster and analyst Angus Reid… Now Stephen Harper is occupying Jim Prentice one of the few stars in a dark cabinet sky with the vexed task of resolving land claims. True the complex plan to lift natives out of squalor and put them on an equal social footing with other Canadians slipped and fell with Liberals. And there’s no certainty that Conservatives will break the claims log-jam. Still there’s another truth. In spending political capital where there’s little to gain two governments and Prentice in particular earned the benefit of native doubt. Ultimately the value of that equivocal optimism will be measured in the heat of a long summer. But there’s refreshing coolness in seeing that the moderate face of Phil Fontaine shares prime time with the bandana masks of radicals.
