Chinese Whispers
Chinese whispers (some Commonwealth English) or telephone (American English and Canadian English) is an internationally popular children's game. It is also called transmission chain experiments in the context of cultural evolution research, and is primarily used to identify the type of information that is more easily passed on from one person to another. Players form a line or circle, and the first player comes up with a message and whispers it to the ear of the second person in the line. The second player repeats the message to the third player, and so on. When the last player is reached, they announce the message they heard to the entire group. The first person then compares the original message with the final version. Although the objective is to pass around the message without it becoming garbled along the way, part of the enjoyment is that, regardless, this usually ends up happening. Errors typically accumulate in the retellings, so the statement announced by the last playe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wilderness (Brett Anderson Album)
''Wilderness'' is the second studio album by the English singer Brett Anderson. Background ''Wilderness'' was created with minimal use of instrumentation and studio production. Singer Brett Anderson opted for a pared-back sound, singing and playing piano alongside cellist Amy Langley. ''Wilderness'' was recorded in only seven days, with most tracks recorded as live takes. The cover photograph is by Allan Jenkins. Anderson is keen to make the live shows of ''Wilderness'' symbolise an intimate affair. "The live shows will be very minimalist with just myself and a cello player on stage." Speaking on the album’s much lower media profile compared with his previous work, Anderson said: "I have no record company, no publisher and a smaller audience but I have never been more confident and focused about what I am doing as an artist."

The Isness
''The Isness'' is a 2002 album by experimental electronica group The Future Sound of London, released under the alias ''Amorphous Androgynous'' (except in the US, where it was released as FSOL for commercial reasons).
