| From odd audio quirks (hearing hard footsteps when walking through water) to the herky-jerky animation (think of the ``Wallace & Gromit'' stop-motion stuff but less smooth) to seeing people pass through solid objects, the entire experience is a sea of loose ends. With painted Cabaret lips, Ed Grimley topknot, Star Trek garb, and herky-jerky arm gestures, Nomi synthesized Weimar cabaret, '60s pop (notably Lou Christie's "Lightning Strikes," the remake for which he's probably most remembered), '80s new wave rock, and classic German opera into a spooky, compelling, oh-so-gay melange. It's a staccato language of enigmatic hand gestures, flailing arms, touching oneself, herky-jerky starts and stops, plunging into space, crashing, spinning, jumping back up. |
