Absolutely agree with you, Andreas. I also think we can expect quite
something from Jamie in the future. His performance on "Blues For Tiki"
(off "Taboo & Exile") is absolutely breathtaking; it sends shivers down
my spine every time I hear it. Not to mention Marc Ribot on that
track... :-)
I'm also very much looking forward to hearing Saft on "Trembling Before
God" (aka Filmworks IX).=20

Salvador and Vian were close friends. They co-operated a lot. When they
heard rock 'n roll for the first time they thought it a joke. They laughed
themselves till death. In a few hours they a dozen or so french rock songs
which are in the box set, sung by Salvador. Vians song texts (478) are
brought together in the book 'Chansons' (Ed. Christian Bourgois).

very well said, Steve. There┤s really a difference between his possibilities
and the results. Perhaps a blowing session with Carter and David Murray
could be interesting. I┤m sure Carter would be the winner, but this is
