Title: Disturbing, compelling, funny...the most real novel I have read Product review: A few minutes ago I was listening to an interview with Jane Smiley. She said that one of the functions of The Novel, as an experience that is simultaneously public and private, is to be morally subversive. The Piano Teacher is a perfect example.The protagonist is profoundly f*cked up, yet she is an extrememly clear-eyed and incisive witness to the society around her. Her inner darkness is an important part of any real, complex personality, but it is generally ignored in the stories we tell and hear.This is an amazing translation from the original German, in that much of the humor involves language play. The translator (Joachim Neugroschel) deserves recognition.This purchase was as a gift for a friend. It is one of those books.

Title: Techno at it's finest Product review: Novamute, the electronic side of Mute records, emerged around the early 90's. it took under it's wing such amazing techno acts around (JB3, Fawn, Steve Stoll, et al.) on This record you get a sample of the great techno that novamute has. Luke slater has ambient electronic dreamscapes with freek funk. Joey Beltram (JB3)'s forklift is astonishing techno. you have to hear it to believe it . If you want pure techno listen to steve stoll. This guy was once an army guy in desert storm and he had a brief stint in KMFDM. He is amazing. Also listen to Fawn's "Vengeance" (This is my favorite). This wil no doubt get you off your feet. In conclusion, check this album out. you will be surprised at the performance that lesser known elcectronica outfits showcase. also check out the parent label, Mute which has such outstanding DJs like Paul Van Dyk, and the amazing Moby. you can't go wrong.

Title: Poor auto focus Product review: I thought I was upgrading from analog to digital but after seeing the videos I shot indoors I liked the analog better. Very poor and grainy. Also the focus is terrible! While filming 3 people in a row moving from one to the other the focus would blur then refocus. I filmed my daughter's ballet recital and could not believe how the auto focus kept bluring then focusing. Very disappointed with this purchase. I guess it's true what they say. "You get what you pay for" It seems under $600.00 doesn't get you much. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
