The ensemble also wants to show that Tibetan culture is more than just an Eastern treasure, he said. “This beautiful culture does not belong to the Tibetan people only,” Dorjee said. "It’s part of the world cultural heritage, and we appeal to everyone to help us save the cul ture from destruction.” Suzannah Taylor, OPAS chair and a senior speech communications major, said the en semble’s colorful and awe-inspiring perfor mance, adapted to Western tastes for theater while maintaining the age-old traditions of Ti bet, will give students a chance to share in the heritage only available through attending A&M. “It will bring the distinct culture in such a way that will be very appealing to an American audience,” Taylor said. And the ensemble is hopeful that it will again sing and dance in its native country, Dorjee said. “We feel very proud to be able to preserve this 2,500-year-old culture during its worst pe riod,” he said. “But we’re very optimistic be cause we have seen Russia change.

After 13 years and six albums, they finally got it right with Billy Breathes, their October release on Elektra Records. Phish’s unmistakably melodic sound resur faces with more introspective ballads on Billy Breathes. The album, produced by Steve Lilly- white and named after the daughter of vocalist- guitarist Trey Anastasio overflows with emotion with songs such as “Waste,” which beckons the listener to “come waste your time with me.” Phish teamed up with lyricist Tom Marshall to put together the songs for Billy Breathes. Marshall and Anastasio, friends since eighth grade, have been writing songs together since before Phish was formed. Phish began as a college band at the Universii; titular nam< of Vermont in late 1983, and it steadily grewintoal; a |y 0n at j-| band with goals to make music a career. 1^ leave y< The borderline-rockabilly Phish sound wases Same, and if tablished with a song that made country music S an a |’ so ca || satire, “Poor Heart” on their 1992 release, 4 Picw | of Nectar. The familiar twang makes a comeback on Billy Breathes in the song “Taste.” The rest of the songs possess their own per sonalities. The uniqueness of Phish stems from the agility it projects by characterizing each sc; Bizzell Hall V individually. The first song on the album is the guitar-em Internation phasized radio hit “Free.” The instrumental tut Success Gn “Cars Trucks Buses” has a jazzy element, which World of Ge should be no surprise since Phish has been know, f rom 5;i5-g to cover Dizzy Gillespie’s instrumental “Manteca."
