...love old analog synthesizers - like the Mellotron, which tries to imitate a human sound, an acoustic sound that's a bit wrong somehow," says Goldfrapp. They even break their own rule and plug in a guitar for the first time on the Marc Bolan glam-rock stomp of Ooh La La and Satin Chic. Through all three records, though, it is Goldfrapp's voice that is most beguiling. At moments it recalls the whispered seduction of Marlene Dietrich, then eases up the range to Kate Bush or some operatic diva, and on occasion even morphs completely into synthesizer effect.

Musically, West took the extraordinary risk of fiddling with his sound by asking Jon Brion, known mostly for his collaborations with the talented but flaky Fiona Apple, to co-produce.

...don’t like the way that the President and Corporation are leading Harvard—and they are unable to persuade them to their views—they are always free to work elsewhere. And those who think that the answer to an issue is to stomp out of a meeting only demonstrate their failure as academics and intellectuals and should be invited to leave. Enough of this disgraceful public bickering by teachers who are expected to know better...
