![]() ![]() ![]() Zappa plays guitar and bass, because there was a change in personnel, between bassists Jeff Simmons and Martin Lickert, partway through recording and filming. The players included Ian Underwood on keyboards and woodwinds, George Duke on keyboards and trombone, drummers Aynsley Dunbar and Jimmy Carl Black, with Ruth Underwood on an orchestra drum set. The sound quality is excellent, the separation gives the multitude of instruments and voicings enough space to hear what is going on very clearly, though the music is still very dense.

The hero lives between imagination and memory, and the main catalyst of the play is the tragic interaction between Macbeth and time, with all the psychological and physical tensions that derive from there. Hypnotized by the imagination of a possible future and haunted by a past full of blood and crimes. Macbeth is hypnotized and haunted by time. And Macbeth is perhaps the best example in this respect. If in comedies time has a regenerative character, in the Shakespearean tragedies “the clock” ticks continuously, it is the soundtrack that fulfills the destiny of the character. Abstract Influenced by the Humanist movement, Shakespeare is preoccupied with time, illustrating it in his lyrics and dramaturgy. ![]() ![]() This is the story of women that have been.

It’s a murder mystery on the moon in this humorous and suspenseful space adventure from the author of Belly Up and Spy School that The New York Times Book Review called “a delightful and brilliantly constructed middle grade thriller.” ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, I realized on a reread, it’s not a true one bed trope romance. Truly a chef’s kiss detail by the author. That was a genius revelation 3/4 through the book. The only thing that keeps me from hating him is the list of M names he made. Giving him a tortured sort of backstory was nice. Jennifer: So what did you think of the characters?Īdam: He was obviously written to be a jerk with a heart of gold. Jennifer: You do have to get into the rhythm to enjoy romance.Īs in, this is the part I have to take at face value if I want to appreciate the deeper story.
