  Bic Runga: Beautiful Collision - PopMatters Music Review
Now there is Bic Runga's Beautiful Collision which appears to be both hyped and under the radar at the same time.
Now at age 26, Bic Runga's Beautiful Collision took a while to recorded but it is the sound of a mature artist.
Beautiful Collision succeeds because, in spite of being adult, literate, orchestrated, and well-executed, it is not suffocating or dull (its greatest risks) since the melodies have hooks, the spooky mysterious haunting tracks develop into something, and the songs adhere to the cardinal rule -- end before four minutes.

 Bic Runga, Lisa Loeb — Pop Stops for 1/16/03 by John Everson
For the past three years, Runga has worked on its followup, and Beautiful Collision, released last summer in Australia, and at the end of the year around the rest of the world, was worth the wait.
Beautiful Collision offers a classically influenced, piano-driven jazz mood in the end-of-relationship ode "Honest Goodbyes," and steps up the cymbals and strings for an equally jazzy ballad in the title track.
Beautiful Collision is a marvelous distillation of heart and humor, featuring the quietly powerful songwriter solidly in control at the microphone.

 Lost (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the closing scene of "Collision", Jack and Ana-Lucia, ostensibly leaders of their respective factions, face each other with Jack wearing white and Ana-Lucia wearing fl; in "The Long Con", Jack and Locke, immediately following an argument between the two, are seen wearing opposing white and fl shirts.
And what I saw was beautiful." Later, in "Raised by Another," Claire has a nightmare in which Locke appears with opaque eyes, one white and the other fl.
The tail-section survivors also discover a glass eye in the DHARMA Initiative's abandoned storage locker, and in the episode "Lockdown," when the map of the underground bunkers is revealed by fllight, it is briefly shown reflected in Locke's eye.

 Jesusfreakhideout.com: David Crowder Band, "A Collision or (3 + 4 = 7)" Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
That being said, David Crowder Band's latest release A Collision is one of the most innovative and experimental worship projects in recent years.
While A Collision is fresh and original, it is also scattered all over the musical spectrum.
Part of the beauty of this release is David Crowder Band's ability to seamlessly blend in more traditional modern worship songs with newer techniques, creating a solid yet original worship album from start to finish.

 Deborah Wai Kapohe - Ring Trout CDs - Review Bic Runga Beautiful Collision - New Zealand Singer Songwriter
Beautiful Collision is Bic Runga's 2nd Album on Sony.
My personal feeling is that Bic Runga needs to find zest for her music or we may not see a third album for quite a while.Where others describe Beautiful Collision as Nostalgic, I describe the album as Dreary.
As well as the song " Beautiful Collision ", my other picks are the songs " Election night " and " Precious Things ", which have a sultry groove thanks to slick drum programming.In these songs I enjoy Bic Runga's originality and melodic surprises.

 Ink 19 :: Bic Runga   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Bic Runga has released some brilliant, startling songs: "Drive" from her debut of the same name, "Precious Things" and "Election Night" from Beautiful Collapse and (yes, it's a different song) "Drive," the opener of Strawpeople's No New Messages (one of the best albums ever committed to tape).
The problem is that much of the rest of her material is far less engaging -- even dull, if you're not in a Bic mindset.
The areas where she dabbles in simplistic, childhood composition ("When I See You Smile" and "The Be All and End All") jar against those places where the arrangements showcase a maturity only hinted at on her first release.

 Reviews
I described that first album as "alternative, worshipful, modern, quirky, passionate." The adjectives still apply, although perhaps DCB would prefer "postmodern" to "modern"; in any case, the band remains determined to stay creative, with projects like Sunsets and Shushi breaking all prior molds.
Today's release, A Collision Or (3+4=7), blends the familiar with the unexpected with true originality often sought by bands but rarely achieved.
A Collision is not an album to be easily digested in a listen or two--not only is it twice as long as some CDs, it has a lot more depth and layering musically and lyrically, demanding a greater investment than most musical projects, but promising greater rewards as well.

although the equation you have used in the illustration appears to be correct, it is not in its most beautiful form, as described in the extract, and at the beginning of the wikipedia article.
The equation you quote at the head certainly is A beautiful equation, but it doesn't match your description and has been incorrectly copied from the article!

 Albert Camus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Sky and sea, mountain and desert, have their own beauty and magnificence and constitute a sufficient heaven.
The critic John Cruikshank termed this stage in Camus’ thinking “naïve atheism” and attributed it to his ecstatic and somewhat immature “Mediterraneanism.” “Naïve” seems an apt characterization for a philosophy that is romantically bold and uncomplicated, yet somewhat lacking in sophistication and logical clarity.
In effect, he argues that the absurd is the product of a collision or confrontation between our human desire for order, meaning, and purpose in life and the blank, indifferent “silence of the universe.” (“The absurd is not in man nor in the world,” Camus explains, “but in their presence together.

 XTRAMSN: Bic Runga - Beautiful Collision
Anyone who's listened to Bic's first album "Drive" would understandably be hanging out for the 'difficult second album" and it's truly been worth the wait.
All the good bits are still there; beautiful songs, great melodies and harmonies, that sweet voice, all coupled with a more mature production and a few "name" players.
Overall the lashings of studio time spent in L.A., New York, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Bic's home studio have given this album a lushness and depth that obviously contrasts with the rougher sound of her debut album.
