Since when do we have anarchy in USA or anywhere else in the world? We have
democracy (or at least it should be democracy) and I think in democracy I
can demand to take the freedom of speech away from those who hate other. If
we would have anarchy (which I hope will be like this one day) I wouldn`t
care about racists and nazis because nobody would care about any opinion
(communists, democrats, fascists). I don`t know if this would be anarchy,
but in the system I understand under anarchy nobody can have power over
other people (there is no governement so what kind of power can they have?),
so nobody cares about political opinion. Every political opinion and
especially system is born because they want to govern and to control people,
this is impossible in anarchy bevcause nobody can govern and control. I hope
you understand what I want to say, becuase English isn`t my mother language.

Actually, Michael Brook is scoring the movie. It would obviously be
interesting if it had even an ounce of Warren Defever involvement.

To counter this opinion (which as all opinions are, subjective), I highly
recommend seeing "Institute Benjamenta"...it is over the top pretentious a
lot of the time, but for visual imagery like you've never seen (eat your
heart out, Disney) it is a must see.  So what that certain sequences are a
bit slow?  What is written below is an extreme exaggeration, especially
coming from someone who hasn't even seen the film!

Just to make this discussion interesting, I just received a record catalog
the other day, which, to my surprise, listed a bunch of Slowdive CDs. They
never appear in any catalogs I get usually, but now they did, so I called
the company up and asked about it, and they said Creation had re-issued
most of the Slowdive catalog very recently.

I recently saw a quarter-page ad in a magazine for a new release by the
Cranes...and now I can't find it!  It had a French title, and was just
black writing on a grey background.  I remember that the ad didn't say
much; I assumed it was a full album, but it may have even been an EP or
whatever.  Any info on this?

I believe it is an album. A friend of mine showed it to me
casually just a few days ago. The digi-pak is wrapping
paper brown and all the track listings on the back were in
fact French. And yes, there were enough songs listed on the
back for it to be considered a bona fide album. Perhaps
others will be able to fill in further details...

This is probably  _Le Tragedie Oreste et Electre_ or something like
that.  It's an EP/Soundtrack based on the Sartre play.  Very good, but a
bit disengaging if you're not _really_ a big fan.  It was originally
supposed to be a Europe-only release, but due to overwhelming demand
Dedicated decided to release it stateside.  It's actually been getting a
decent amount of respect/airplay on college radio.
