The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 30, 1989 - Page 13 } PHANTOM Continued from page 10 musical elements of the plot over its scariness assured its less-than-modest success. In 1962, the British tried to milk success out of the original with their new version. Today, however, people are probably most familiar .with Andrew Lloyd Webber's musi- *.cal which has become a wild success :both in London and New York. Last *and probably least, however, Freddy ;(that is, actor Robert Englund) had to try the original formula in Mena- hem Golan's new rendition of the ;Phantom story, probably better titled as Nightmare on Elm Street Goes to ,the Opera. No horror fan has entered the col- lective unconscious of the genre z without having experienced the orig- "inal Phantom of the Opera. The :*Phantom plays on the classic for- mula of beauty and the beast, and many of its devices have become norms 'in the horror genre. Although we take for granted the ef- fortless look of modern technology, one can only but admire the ingenu- ity of the early special effects as we catch a glimpse of the workings of their verisimilitude.

Penobscot Building * :Detroit, MI 48226 An Equal Opportunity Employer W'F REVIEWS Continued from page 12 especially prevalent among non-wind instrumentalists, occurs when an often performed piece becomes routine, triggering an auto pilot signal which shuts off the normal flow of imagination. The result is a flawless but dry performance. During the all-Schumann second half, however, the clouds dissipated, Zukerman's auto pilot sign went off, and he returned to the stage. The Three Romances and the Sonata in A minor got treated to the full atten- tion of Zukerman's heart and fingers. It was as though he'd switched to a different violin during intermission. He played with renewed sensitivity and finesse. His new involvement tranformed the blas6 back-and-forth of the violin and piano in the first half into an eloquent and intricate conversation, the kind cultivated from 14 years of collaboration with the expressive Marc Neikrug. The encores were the highlight of the evening. Only Pinchas Zuker- man could get away with playing a set of unknown pieces by an un- known "very neglected" composer for an encore, and still walk away with three curtain calls. If they had replaced the Beethoven, the first half would have shined as brightly as the second half of the concert. -Sherrill L. Bennett Front Line Assembly's toxic waste kiss Friday night and St. Andrew's Hall, arguably the best host to live entertainment ever in Detroit, opened its doors to Front Line Assembly. F.L.A., only three al- bums old, is Canada's contribution to hate-filled industrial bash music. In the same vein as Nitzer Ebb and F.L.A.'sbrothers under the Wax Trax label Front 242, Front Line Assembly scorched the audience with searing vocals (via the depths of hell) over incessant and jarring rhythms. Vocalist Bill Leeb (6'4") and guitarist Michael Balch (6'3") dominated the shorter though tightly packed audience with an intensity ri- valing mid-coastal California's rank- ing of 6.98. Drummer and associate F.L.A. member Rhys Fulber found the needed industrial sound not on con- ventional drums but kettles of, I be- lieve, toxic waste. And by the sec- ond song, "Digital Tension Demen- tia," this guy sitting next to me (we'll call him John) remarked on the obvious, saying that if anything Rhys was merely playing over a pre- recorded rhythm track. A little disen- chanted, I momentarily scanned the audience and, if in a word I had to describe the situation, only the word scary would suffice. It was scary in the same way a first kiss is scary. The crowd seemed filled with expec- tations and self-doubt. And when one of the more spirited in the audience stage-dived, he found the floor in- stead of the pocketed hands of the expectant audience. The docile crowd wasn't however a result of the band's performance but only a slight distraction. High- lights included a rousing perfor- mance of "Blood Sport" followed by "Body Count," both infectiously danceable and conducive to a mild migraine headache. And the solitary encore of "Fools Game" begged to be followed by anything but tie house lights, but my silent plea fell on, by now, deaf ears. Like my first kiss, Front Line Assembly's performance both fright- ened and satisfied, but didn't satiate. I guess like the rest of the audience I anticipated consummation but walked away only pleasantly teased. -R.S.Lee Arts needs you (possibly) .
