Welles made extensive notes on how he wanted the film to appear,
including how he wanted it to be edited. Though obviously he wasn't
able to physically oversee the editing, the version that was re-released
was as close to what he wanted (according to the notes) as we can get.
I mistakenly rented the original film around the time that the
re-release was scheduled and it was terrible compared to the new version
(which I later watched). We should be grateful that we can get another
movie, besides Kane, as close to Welles's original vision.

Case in point: Apocalypse Now Redux. Wonderful movie and the deleted
scenes are good, but the length is a little much for one sitting, IMHO.

The online version of the All Music Guide is at http://www.allmusic.com,
and they do indeed list a 1989 Elektra/Nonesuch album entitled Stain.

Subject: Gareth Willams (This Heat) RIP!
This was posted on the avant-progressive list. Since This Heat
occasionally pops up here, I thought I'd pass it on.
The following came off of R.M.P., where it was posted as being from These
Records:
"Gareth Williams, best known to music fans as one third of This Heat,
died the morning of 24 December 2001.
He leaves an undeniable imprint and contribution, both to the rich recorded
legacy of the band albums - This Heat; Deceit; Made Available - The John
Peel Sessions; Repeat; and the single Health and Efficiency - and, though a
reluctant but compulsive performer, to the group's fearless, powerful live
performances between 1976-81.
As bassist and keyboard player in the band, he contributed an often sited
'wild card' aspect, also through the use of tape as a lead instrument, and
the fact that he was never formally schooled as a musician, choosing to
adopt an intuitive and abstract approach to his instruments, stated in one
early review as having a 'Jackson Pollack approach' to playing the organ.
After leaving the group, he studied kathakali dance in south India and later
completed a degree in Indian religious studies and music at SOAS. He also
wrote a large slice of the south Indian contribution of The Rough Guide to
India and worked as a travel guide there.
Whilst always passionately creating music domestically, including the 1985
limited edition cassette - Flaming Tunes - he was yet to decide on on a
wider mode of output. He maintained a lifelong ambivalence to the industry
side of being a musician, thus generally only close associates were aware of
his activities - including collaborations with many other musicians, d.j.
appearances, writing, promoting other performers, working on photographs and
visuals.
Gareth was diagnosed with cancer in September of 2001, after a short period
of increasing illness, and quickly started making plans of things he wished
to achieve. Despite having to spend long periods in hospital and undergoing
serious treatment, he maintained an inspirational postitive attitude and
continued to play music, with an eye on what could be done in the time he
had left.
He will be sorely missed by a large group of friends and collaborators, who
knew him as a prolifically creative personality, staunch individualist,
someone capable of the blackest of black humour, and extremely generous of
spirit.
Gareth John Williams 1953 - 2001"

Well *that* sucks. Oh well-you're all invited to join the Big Ugly Sharks group of which I'm dictator. We're more of a prog/punk group, but we love all things Zorn there too.

I absolutely loved it -- I was lucky enough to stumble upon a VCD of it in
December of 2000 in some out-of-the-way strip mall in suburban Houston, then
saw it again in general release, and then again on DVD... The first time I
saw it I thought it was swooningly romantic; the second time I saw it I
thought it was suffused with a deep sorrow and a weary pessimism about the
inevitability of the affair. The lush cinematography, those languorous
musical interludes both prolonging and deferring, the Nat King Cole songs
expressing their love/despair in a language neither of them could not
understand, the way the film itself seemed to be a collection of
half-remembered memories, of fleeting traces of gestures...
Apparently Maggie Cheung was so fed up with Wong Kar-Wai (new dialogue would
be faxed to her every morning) that she vowed not to work with him again --
until she finally saw the film. Sometimes the director would make Cheung and
Tony Leung saying each other's lines.
However, the dvd version below (which I have not seen) may be too much of a
