This Is an Exercise $11.98 A darker, more dramatic, and more polished affair than All Your Faded Things, Anna Oxygen's second album, This Is an Exercise, is just as fascinating as it is chilly and alienating. In her songs, Oxygen explores some of the same issues of authenticity, creation, and consumption that Tracy + the Plastics do, but with a sci-fi/fantasy bent, as song titles like "Fairy Quest" suggest. Certainly, the album sounds like synth pop as imagined by a replicant, or a lower-fi Laurie Anderson: at times, Oxygen sings surreal lyrics like "we wear fake pajamas" and "this is just a soggy reinvention of all the things I want to lose" in a deadpan so deeply frozen that almost any emotion could be projected onto it; at other times, her voice and the music are so dramatic that she seems like she's parodying the very notion of emotions. The overt quirkiness of All Your Faded Things is downplayed on this album, with the noticeable exception of "Mechanical Fish," a sketch that questions whether or not a real fish would have any more insight into itself than a manmade one. "Willow Song," meanwhile, surrounds its beautiful, gliding melody and Oxygen's ethereal vocals in very unnatural-sounding nature sounds. As cerebral as she is, Oxygen has a way with hooks and beats that comes to the fore late on This Is an Exercise, where the robotic groove of "Walk" and the aloofly mischievous "Psychic Rainbow" add a pulse to the album's brains. From the eerie-yet-danceable "R.R.N." to "Hold You," the delicately spooky lullaby that closes the album, on This Is an Exercise, Anna Oxygen excels at creating a unique, sometimes disturbing sonic world with an almost-palpable sense of atmosphere. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi Performers: Andy Gertz - Accordion; Melissa Collins - Cello; Anna Oxygen - Sequencing, Piano; Kitty Jenson - Vocals; Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn & Ginger Brooks Takahashi - Vocals |

Ethnicity, Authority, and Power in Central Asia $140 The people of Greater Central Asia - not only Inner Asian states of Soviet Union but also those who share similar heritages in adjacent countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan, Iran, and the Chinese province of Xinjiang - have been drawn into more direct and immediate contact since the Soviet collapse. Infrastructural improvements, and the race by the great powers for access to the region's vital natural resources, have allowed these people to develop closer ties with each other and the wider world, creating new interdependencies, and fresh opportunities for interaction and the exercise of influence. They are being integrated into a new, wider economic and political region which is increasingly significant in world affairs, owing to its strategically central location, and its complex and uncertain politics. However, most of its inhabitants are pre-eminently concerned with familial and local affairs. This work examines the viewpoints and concerns of a selection of groups in terms of four issues: government repression, ethnic group perspectives, devices of mutual support, and informal grounds of authority and influence.Responding to a need for in-depth studies concerning the social structures and practices in the region, the book examines trends and issues from the point of view of scholars who have lived and worked 'on the ground' and have sought to understand the conditions and concerns of people in rural as well as urban settings. It provides a distinctive and timely perspective on this vital part of the world. |
