A spiritual successor to Rachel Carson's seminal eco-polemic Silent Spring, Fruitless Fall walks us through the various theories put forth as causes of CCD -genetically-modified crops, global warming, God's wrath, cellular phones, loss of habitat and a nicotine-like pesticide to name a few. Jacobsen concludes that a return to simpler times - for example, before honey bees were pumped full corn syrup and bred to pollinate monocrops from California to Florida - may be the only answer to the decimation of these vital insects, upon...

Eight to ten 20- to 30-second tracks on the EMI record will extol such salables as cellular mobile telephones and fashion and youth magazines. According to Sigue Sigue, each advertising track will cost roughly $1,500, and the promotion will also appear on the album sleeve. The point, says Bassist James, is to keep down production costs.
