...trademark breathy vocals, Hutchence sings about naive love games in a lyrical style reminiscent of many early '80s pop bands, including a younger INXS. This return to a simpler outlook on love is most evident on tracks like "Communication": "Light beams from outer space/Drifting to your satellite/Your dish responds...
...Dead Sea Scrolls are an endless source of sensationalism. Supermarket tabloids would have us believe that these ancient Jewish texts reveal visitations from outer space, the cure for AIDS and the date the world will end. In a new book somehow inspired by the scrolls, Barbara Thiering of Australia's University of Sydney tells of a Jesus who was crucified but secretly revived at the Dead Sea and who wed a woman bishop at midnight on March...

Like giant rafts, these plates glide across an expanse of superheated rock, viscous as tar, that surrounds the planet's molten outer core.

Unlike the bizarre Ken Russell film, the narrative reshaped for La Jolla by McAnuff and composer- lyricist Pete Townshend has an essential innocence, maybe even an excess of optimism.
