	Fables of the Reconstruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fables of the Reconstruction is the third studio album released by the American band R.E.M. on the I.R.S. Records label, in 1985.
		Former drummer Bill Berry was quoted in the early 1990s as saying that Fables of the Reconstruction "sucked", while frontman Michael Stipe considers it home to some of their more important songs, telling producer Joe Boyd that he had grown to love the album.
		Upon its release, Fables of the Reconstruction reached #28 in the U.S. (going gold in 1991) and was their best showing yet in the UK, peaking at #35.

	Facing South: Fables of the Reconstruction
		An effort at reconstruction, our nation's history shows us, must be implemented not only with determination and might, but also with humility and self-knowledge -- and with an understanding of the experience of defeat that attention to Southern history can give us.
		When Reconstruction was driven from the South 12 years after it began, the white Southern majority rejoiced that true law, true justice, had returned.

		But if the reconstruction industry is stunningly inept at rebuilding, that may be because rebuilding is not its purpose.
		According to Guttal: "It's not reconstruction at all - it's about reshaping everything." The stories of corruption and incompetence mask this deeper scandal: the rise of a predatory form of disaster capitalism that uses the desperation created by catastrophe to engage in radical social and economic engineering.
		On this front, the reconstruction industry works so efficiently that the privatisations and land grabs are usually locked in before local people know what hit them.

	Bush isn't really favoring Halliburton and Bechtel. - By Daniel Drezner - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A new report by the Center for Public Integrity attempts to prove something that many people simply assume to be true: that the Bush administration has strongly favored cronies and campaign contributors in awarding reconstruction contracts for Iraq and Afghanistan.
		The basic hypothesis of the report is that campaign contributions must have affected the allocation of reconstruction contracts; Halliburton's and Bechtel's large reconstruction contracts and generous support of politicians hint at such a finding.
		The CPI report covers 70 firms that have received money for reconstruction in Afghanistan and Iraq from the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Department of Defense.

		'Reconstruction of the Fables' showcases the uncompromising dedication R.E.M. has to reinvent their sound wheel on every outing.
		The folk-rock sensibility is certainly updated, however, and the concept presented is consistent in a lyrically and musically varied fashion.
		'Reconstruction of the Fables' is a thoroughly consistent outing by R.E.M. It may seem like a slight update of sixties' folkie albums, but it delivers a solid set of songs that seldom stray from its theme and without losing the sojourners' interest.

		For their third album, R.E.M. made a conscious effort to break from the traditions Murmur and Reckoning established, electing to record in England with legendary folk-rock producer Joe Boyd.
		For a variety of reasons, the sessions were difficult, and that tension is apparent throughout Fables of the Reconstruction.
		Fables is more inconsistent than its two predecessors, but the group does demonstrate considerable musical growth, particularly in how perfectly it evokes the strange rural legends of the South.

		The group takes a large step forward again with Fables, moving away from the stately elegance of its debut and the restrained southern rock of its second album to a new territory altogether, a moody, richly textured (dare i say it?) folk album.
		As somber as Fables is, however, it is a solidly constructed album with more than its fair share of great tunes.

		Fables of the Reconstruction is about storytelling and trains and the South and music and the whole enterprise is shot through with the feeling that we're lost so badly that we might never never get back.
		But the whole album is saved from concept hell by the scratchfunk of "Can't Get There From Here," where Mills' ridiculous falsetto and some out-of-nowhere New Orleans horns bring it all back down to earth.
		Everyone's forgotten Fables now, just like they didn't get it then, but it's a wonderful album that set this great band on their brave path.

		The decision signals the winding down of an $18.4 billion U.S. rebuilding effort in which roughly half of the money was eaten away by the insurgency, a buildup of Iraq's criminal justice system and the investigation and trial of Saddam Hussein.
		In addition, from 14 percent to 22 percent of the cost of every nonmilitary reconstruction project goes toward security against insurgent attacks, according to reconstruction officials in Baghdad.
		At the same time, the hundreds of Americans and Iraqis who have devoted themselves to the reconstruction effort point to 3,600 projects that the United States has completed or intends to finish before the $18.4 billion runs out around the end of 2006.

		The result is Fables of the Reconstruction (or possibly Reconstruction of the Fables, since the phrase 'of the' appears twice on the album's cover art), a murky, often melancholy album that's probably the least accessible of their early work.
		Years later, drummer Bill Berry would tell Rolling Stone that "Fables sucked," but behind the murk is a rewarding depth and songs that have become essential parts of the R.E.M. canon.
		Peter Buck's familiar chiming guitars pervade the album, but are often sent to the background as a foreboding atmospheric element.
