	That depends on how much you have to pay for it.  If you like re-
mixed versions of his older stuff, this album is for you.  I picked it up 
after seeing the movie (which was pretty good), and am glad I did.  I happen
to like 'Eno-esque' type non-vocal music and this album fits right in.  No
lyrics, just great versions of songs like:

	Not One of Us		-- (awesome drum solo)
	Family Snapshot    	-- (only 1 minute's worth)
	Rhythm of the Heat
	San Jacinto		-- (piano solo introduction)
	
	plus many rhythms and 'moods' (for lack of the right word) from
his other works.
	This album is *NOT* for the 'energetic' PG song-lovers.  Much of the
music is slow and 'background' (it IS a movie soundtrack).

	The live album is EXCELLENT.  Great versions of all the songs, except
perhaps for 'I Go Swimming', which I never did care for anyhow.  Since buying
the live album, I never listen to 'Secutity' anymore, the live versions are 
better.
