ps: bad luck zorn didn't make it to Hague due to problems
with his back... But in Reiziger in Muziek (dutch TV programm)
which was going to feature him live, he was discussed by
Gert-Jan (i forget his family name...) who I think is
the producer of some of the recent stuff, incl. CARTOON S/M.
Apparently new versions of Cat o' nine tails, Carny, Music for children
will be featured on this new release.

A different opinion on the Streamline releases. I think that the Mimir
release borders on terrible. Around about 1986, when Edward Ka-Spel was in
"The Tear Garden" with Cevin Key of Skinny Puppy, I picked up the Tear
Garden eponymous ep and the first full length album. Then 12 years later I
heard Ka-Spel's Mimir lp, "Mimyriad" and I said to myself, "This is the
same thing, only now it's 1998 and, although I thought it was pretty cool
in 1986, it sounds embarrassingly dated now."
With regard to Keiji Haino's "Beginning and End, Interwoven" on Streamline,
I was impressed with this cd when it came out in 1994 and I remain
impressed with it. This disc features Haino's first recorded foray into
traditional song structures. Instead of 15 or 20 minute instrumental
suites, we get a taste of sweet four-minute songs with verses and a refrain
done Haino style. I think some of the songs-vocals and guitar playing-on
that cd are just brilliant.

True for Henry Fool.
Interesting because the soundtrack of Amateur, the film that Hartley
released before Flirt, featured tracks by My Bloody Valentine, P.J. Harvey,
Red House Painters, Yo La Tengo, Bettie Serveert, Liz Phair, The Jesus
Lizard, Pavement...
Hartley almost consistently used tracks from either Yo la tengo and Sonic
youth in his previous films (and multiplied references to these bands in
his films, in small details like stickers in the phone booths where the
hero places a phone call, etc). Still in The book of life (P.J. Harvey as
first actress), Yo la tengo appears disguised as the Army salvation band,
for a few seconds.
Not that any of this is directly relevant to the list or particularly
illuminating.

There's a lot to explore, but check out the playlists to get an idea of what the show is like. Most of the DJs are most inventive/interesting than the usual play-and-say ones. (By the way, it's best to save the show to your hard drive so you can listen later while browsing and without interruptions.) However, Irwin Chusid doesn't do playlists for his show but it's a constant surprise so don't pass it up.
My other personal favorites are:
Rhubarb Cake (surprising stuff that I haven't often heard of)
Ken Friedman (stuff I've heard of but haven't often heard)
Brian Turner (stuff I've heard and haven't heard but like to hear anyway)
Incorrect Music (outsider, golden throats, etc)
Unpopular Music (Kenny G, no not THAT one but a wonderful writer/host of experimental, avant, etc)
Irene Trudel (yeah it might appear a bit wimpy from the playlists but this is just wonderful)
Secret Museum of the Air (old "ethnic" records)
The Audio Kitchen (found recordings & real-life audio snapshots)
& the little that I've heard of Give the Drummer Some, Inflatable Squirrel Carcass and Hova are pretty nice.

>THE DRAUGHTSMAN CONTRACT: Michael Nyman
I never was too taken with THE DRAUGHTSMAN CONTRACT, but
along the same lines (soundtracks by Nyman for Peter
Greenaway films) I have repeatedly enjoyed "Prospero's Books"
and "Drowning by Numbers" over the years.
"Shanghai Triad" - This movie is the last collaboration between
Director Zhang Yimou and actress, Gong Li. The soundtrack has
three songs with Gong Li on vocals, two of which are out of sight.
