 Subject: MisK.

     Eric, IED didn't say any of Kate's music could be "improved",
only that it would be nice if she were able to make more of it.
A re-mix of _Love_and_Anger_ would be different from the LP mix,
not better (nothing could be better). Was it heresy nevertheless? Perhaps...
     Woj, the film from which _Be_Kind_to_My_Mistakes_ originally
hails is Nicholas Roeg's _Castaway_. (Note correct title.) The
actual title sequence of the film has an edited version of the
original mix. A limited (or at least hard-to-find-now)
LP and cassette edition of the soundtrack was released in '87,
and on that album the original, "full" mix of _BKTMM_ appeared,
in good stereo. It's a glorious thing to hear (though not on IED's
copy, which is pure audio hell at this point), and it contains
a good 64 measures of "extra" music--none of it lead vocals, but
nonetheless first-water Kate Bush--which Kate has removed from the new
re-mix. The sound is also quite different from the CD mix. The LP also
contains thirty-five-odd minutes of typically lush orchestral-cum-electronic
cinema music by Stanley Meyers and Hans Zimmer, as well as a single brief
track contributed by Eno.

   and thank God, it is this--_not_ "XTC"--that brings us together...
