Author - Michael Swanwick.
When you die the world turns upside down, you become sparks of conscious electricity and can move along anything conductive. But if you let go for a second you will fall into the sky and be spread into the universe.
A story about the dead and their battle to at least stay dead!
Starts off well but slows down in the middle and has a predictable ending.
The Second ...
Advantages: Fantastic album, range of pieces Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit expensive for a 30 year old album
an unexpected change from the rest of the album. A wonderful piece after the first two minutes of rather odd and fragmented changes!
07) A Little Jazz Exercise
The one original track on the album. This is OscarPeterson showing off to be honest. But boy he can play, so we'll allow him. Perhaps a little twee inplaces, but 'A Little Jazz Exercise' is good fun to listen to as Peterson plays with rhythms and melodies and moves his fingers at lightening speed.
08) Django
At this point the whole album slows up once more. Peterson plays with a far more mournful and bluesey lyrical style here and it makes a wonderful contrast to the comparatively trivial track before.

The controversial Victorian playwright and poet Oscar Wilde, so the introduction to this book tells us, ?devoured and luxuriated in books?. He had a lifelong thirst for reading, so it?s not surprising to find that his house in Chelsea was packed with them. Not only was he an avid collector, but he was also an accomplished speed reader with a remarkable ? and to some extent photographic ? memory which helped him to absorb and recall instantly vast amounts of prose and verse. As a reviewer for the Pall Mall Gazette, he could master a book's content, plot or argument in minutes. (If only ciao had been around in those days as well).
Maybe it is only fair to get the one major chink in his armour out of the way quickly. Once, when he was preparing a lecture on the poet Chatterton, most of his notes were made up of entire pages and paragraphs ...
