...games begin. I had a chance to play a simple dodgeball-type game called Ricochet, in which you just punch and kick and head balls at a three-dimensional wall. It's weird to be playing a game with nothing in your hands - if you've ever played a theremin, the sensation of playing with Project Natal is not dissimilar. It's spooky. But it's also very immersive. When a ball comes bounding at your head and you butt it back with your forehead, you can almost feel the smack of it against your skin. "It was the most...

In contrast, “Navy Sheets” suffers under the weight of up-front New Wave keyboards and “Both Crosses” sounds out of place with its theremin accents and banjo outro.

The techno club CHELSEA, tel: (43-1) 407 93 09, draws an edgy, twentysomething crowd, while B72, tel: (43-1) 409 21 28, caters to fans of alternative or underground rock. If you want to see the new Gürtel...
...difficult, self-destructive pathos of their last years only added to their legends; modern saints must also be sinners, to prove they're human as well as divine. And another similarity: a temporary grave marker misspelled Lenny's name, as Elvis' had been on his grave stone. Cue the theremin music...
