Each of those sessions turns out to have a distinct sonic character. The Helsinki tracks have an urgent, constructed intensity about them. "No Flag," which offers a statement of principles (or rather, a statement of no principles — ''"I've got no religion, I've got no philosophy,"'' Costello barks), brings to mind early, rocking Elvis (C., not P.); "Hetty O'Hara Confidential," the story of a gossip columnist's reign and fall, has a jagged, angular syncopation. | Each of those sessions turns out to have a distinct sonic character.
