spacer To my ears, this is a very pretty pass for things to have come to. What's going on? It's Kraftwerk with a heavy emotional secret; it's Jimmy Somerville discovering what it's like to want to hold back more than you reveal; it's Jane Child, all but forgotten, emerging from the smoky depths of history with songs that celebrate how lost she's been all this time, and that accuse everyone else of not having been honest about how lost we all still are. What's going on? Did I miss something? Are we about to arrive at some new station?

It bears further examination. We will talk more about the Junior Boys next week.
