That schedule has fallen by the wayside. Current estimates put thc project roughly ten weeks bchind schedule. Ann Simpson,CampuaCentre Manager, and Dean Parent of Plant Operations blame the delays on the particularly bad weather this past winter. The weather, said Simpwn, caused complications with thc dcrnolitlon work. Parent hastened to point out that, even with the delays, the timeline is not out of line for work ofthis scale. "A project of this s i z should takeas long as it has taken," he asserted. Parent did admit that the original schedulemighthaveunderestimated thc timc needed. "Perhaps we were more optimistic than we should havc been."

The Middle Class is Revolting The Fall wl Stcreolah R.P.M. Tucsduy, Scpt. 13

Mark E. Smith and The Fall have d~splayeda rcmarkablc talent for longcvtty and have renmned more prolilic than any ofthercontempomncs - Middle C1o.w Rrvolt is their rwmry-seventh album. All of this has been achieved by hlozmg a wholly unique path in popular music, eschewing any

musical scenes and remaining ttue to the singular vision of acidtongued lead singerlseer Mark EdwardSmith. Itwasimpossibleto putany of this aside as they anived in Torunt" last week -for only the s a ond time in their career. Equally hard to disregard was the fact that tlrinshowalromorkedtherrtumnf

With Mark E ' s reputation as one of the most difficult prublems of the late twenticth ccntury. thc rumour that Rrix was back sounded as likely as John Lcnnun returning from lhc grave to join the rcmainlng Beatlea.

One such tirade, "Behind the Counter." was chosen lo open the show. A powerhl single, apparently about consumer ignorance, the song allowed The Fall to demonstratc two characteristics that would follow -- a brilliant musical performance, as tight as could be expected, and a typically indifferent MarkF.. Smith whacould have been performing in front of an empty house. Smith meandered around the stage slowly, constantly fidgeting with the mike stand, and couldn't have looked more bored if he tried. Vocally, he sang with the same conviction as his rccordings demonstrate. but it's as though he's b a n doing it so long, it takes no effort la sound like he's making an cffoll. lcanthinkofnaoneinthe five years I've been reviewing shows that did less than Smith that night, and yet few seem to command such a stage presence.

G

mger is a hand that has been trashed upon these pages on multiple occasions in the last six months. However, their all-ages show at the Volcano was not that bad. Unfortunately, it was not that g w d either. The band's decision to part ways with Kevin Kane, thus disbanding the Grapes of Wralh and creating Ginger, was probably not the wisest career maw. A year ago, the Grapes were headlining Watcrlou'~Svunda of Summcr festival and playing to crowds in thc 10 000's at Thunderhid Stadium in B.C. Thut fact that they haw been reduced to playing to a crowd of 100 at the Volcano shows what an

incred~bleblow they've suffered commercially. The other drawback is that Kane'r d c w i u r r took away a big chunk of the songwitlng talent and half of the vocal harmonies that made the Grapes so inlercsting. That's not to say that Tom Hooper is without his own witing prowess, or that Vincent Jones' background vocals were not adequate. It's just that one word that Ginger bnngs lo mind that would not have been used to describe the Grapes is LOUD! With the Grapes, lyrics and VWI hharn~onieswere always an integral part of the live set. With Ginger's sheer volume, a great deal of that has becn lost. Many times throughout the night I can mmcmber thinking that the songs were quite good but sadly the IFics were unintelligible.

rolling. This song also took on Ginger's louder, mare distorted sound, making it a lot less effcclive. A harder version of "You May Be Right" was the only other Grapes songs that we were treated to. It seems lhat the band is anxious to cast off their past, even though Ginger is made up of 314 of the Grapes. However, the very young cmwd helped to show that Gmger has probably also cast off most of the original Grapes fans that fell in love with "Piece Of Mmd. The Killjoys got the kids pumped by cranking out a number of recognizable tunes, but nolhing that perwaded me lo buy thcir CD, (which the band tried to do verbally a few times.) However. onc can't blame them ibr trying, as they're the cpitomc of the term. "starving artists." A lot d t h e set was filler, hut a couple of rcal gems suggest lhat the Killjoys are a band to watch in the near future.

T

he Intense show at the Volcano proved once again that Wlnnlpeg has more to offer than the Jets, lhe Blue Bombers. the Crash Test Dummm. and Canada's coldest comer. With a major label new release, In The Trees, and the video

for the first single "Boneyard Tree1' seeing hravy rolatian un thc nations music station, the Watchmen have hit the blg time. The first effort for the Watchmen, the highly acclaimed McLarenb~urnaceRoombroke the band on the bar circuit and ertoblished them as a major live force. Songs like "Run and Hide" and "Cracked" bolstered the solid independent release. Songs tiom both albums were i n abundance and thc sound far surpassed Ule recorded sound o f both albums. The sweat was literally drip-

ping off Danicl as he poured his soul out on songs hke "Mrstcr" and "Wiser". The Watchmen sense o f humour has not dimu>shed as they provided quirky excerpts from "The Land Down Under" by thc Men Without Hilts and "Locomotive Breath" hv Jcthro Tull part way through the performance. Stunning harmonica, courtcsy o f Grcaves, provtdcd intros lo new songs "Calm" and "The South". The Watchmen's live show has bcncfited w ~ t hthe addllion of new bassist Tizzard and some supcr ncw matcrial from In Ihe Iiees. Stand out tracks o f the night included the heavy "34 Dead St." and the super charged "Vnuo Diva". The charismatic stage presence o f Greaves was the focal point for the dynamic stage show, but each meaber added to the intensq of the band. For the encore it was drummer Sammy Kohn's timc to shine as lhts percusscon drove the Afncan rhythms o f thc slower "Maddle East". The high calibre performsncc hy thc Watchmen kept up their previous precedent o f ercltmg h e shows and was more than ratirfymg this tme around. Opening the show was Weeping Tile, a talented new band from Kingston. Weeping Tile combined the rock and roll smarts o f a rrasuned ruild band with the vocals o f a Sinead O'Connor to great success.

hrow the creation theory 'm'Dao out the window when read ing thls novcl, bccausc as the title suggests, Roy Lewis takes a humoumus look at the evolution of human bcings. Lewis' artful story-telling puts most bedtime stories to shame with his mtelligent and funny examination of how our f o x fathers of a millennia ago pushed for progress and new ideas. Thc central character and instigator of the development of humans .-ah-. e Father. Like many good fathcrs, Father wished only that his children would livc bettcr than he had which made for this incred~bleenlightenment of a fuhw where all humans would pmgress through tcchnology. Pondering many ideas, cxperimenhtion, and scientific testing resulted in some of the most significant advances in caveman hirtoly. First and most significant was his d ~ s cowry of fire which he used as prokction its finest was discovered, relieving the from wild ammals.

His opposition is done tonguc in cheek Ihroughoul as Lewis pokes fun at those who still garner this train of thought. Unclc Vanja s the stepping stone that drives Father to create the future, rather than remaln a part of the past. The relationship spawns the central theme that Lewis satirizes throughout the book which characterizes humans (past and present) as incredibly self-indulgenl peoples who osc technological advances to better their o m as well as Lo over-power others. This travel into the past reveals haw little we really have come fmm our Neandcrthal predecessors. Lewis uses a familiar 'Monty Python' technique of stmy-telling that keeps you c m i n in ~ your journey to a fairy-tale past of cavc-people capable of ideological thought, philosophical inquiry, and a standard of morality This typical stone age family dredges up familiarities to a. crass between The Jelsons and The Flintstunes, which creates the perfect base for a satire on humanity.

True, Slow Buildings is not a whole lot like old Pale Saints. (although thc single "Angel", ir purc vlntage power-pop Pale Saints) Much o f the album rclies less hcirvily on production and eflccts than the Palc Saints of old, and doesn't hidc flaws behind washcs of sonic delirium. Not to say that thc Palc Simls of old was had, hut the new album is truly exciting, dark in places (most notably the funenlprecession of the Seven minutc long "Henry"), and extremely sunny in others, a in the very ncxt song, "Under Your Nose". This album lruly marks the return of a fanlastic hand liom the past, which could out-write, out-play and b e more rememhctcd than any o f t h c liltlc mckstcrs in this, the sad. sad year of 1994.

special tolrnprint Okay, so the album has hccn out for five or six months now. the show has comc and gonc, and you've already heard three or four tracks on thc radio to the point of nausea. But if I'd written this rcview when I first got the CD, I doubt I would have hecn very favourable to it -- il did nothing for me. Sure, one or two tracks wcrc mtcresting ("Take it Rack" stood out, and precious little else), but overall i t wasn't worth the time to listen to. Several months laler, I find the album has grown on me -- the morn I llstrn to il, the #nure1 like 11. It is not "classic" Floyd, and Water's absence is obvious. But it isnot "the David Gilmour Band"

to the extcnt that A Momentaly Lapse of Reason was. cithcr. "Marooned," for example, sounds ,much like the old Floyd, as d o pans of What Do You Want From Me." "Poles Apart," or "High llopcs." This time out the song writing is good, and the overall cffcct is much more moody and darker than Lapse o f Rcasm, and definitely more cohcrcnt. N o t sorprislngly, listening to just the singles or radio cuts lesscn the album considcrably. The Division Rell should he heard as a wholc. not as pieccs: the "hig" sound of Pink Floyd works best when the tracks are allowed to build up to each other. Basically, if you haven't already hnuehl a copy. ernh nnr and give it a n y . Purists may still decry the missing Waters, and The Division Bell may not cvcr ho cansidcrcd one of Pink Floyd's best works, but it iscertainly worth a chancc.
