...music, played by some 50 bands, provides a bond for Germany's neo-Nazi movement, a suspected source for much of the xenophobic violence that has claimed 17 lives in the past year. In a swift crackdown, German police raided studios, homes and offices, confiscating thousands of records and CDs. Whether anti-Nazi laws were broken remained unclear, since the operation produced no arrests...
...newest, a glossy, big-budget entry called Wired, premiered last week with Bruce Sterling on the cover and ads from the likes of Apple Computer and AT&T. Cyberpunk music, including ACID HOUSE and INDUSTRIAL, is popular enough to keep several record companies and scores of bands cranking out CDs. Cyberpunk-oriented books are snapped up by eager fans as soon as they hit the stores. (Sterling's latest, The Hacker Crackdown, quickly sold out its first hard-cover printing of 30,000.) A piece of cyberpunk performance art, Tubes, starring Blue Man Group, is a hit off-Broadway...

Phil Spector's over-the-Top-40 sound has often been memorialized; now THE SCEPTER RECORDS STORY is related in a 65-song set on three CDs. Owned by Florence Greenberg, a New Jersey mom, the diskery made its rep with girl groups (the Shirelles) and treble rousers (the Isley Brothers, the Kingsmen). It then officiated at the marriage of gospel and pop, with Dionne Warwick selling peerless Burt Bacharach ballads. The set includes many savory hits and some obscure gems: Bacharach...
