Subject: MisK.
To: Love-Hounds From: Andrew Marvick (IED) 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. -- Andrew Marvick, who reminds everyone in this group that, after all, and thank God, it is this--_not_ "XTC"--that brings us together...
