Me too! I got it when it came out.

I think it's one of the best investments I have made in music.
The songs that are on it that can be found elsewhere are slightly
different(compare Lou's 'What's good' with the same song on 'Magic and
Loss' and U2 's song with the album version). The rest are simply
beautiful. REM's 'Fretless' is as good as anything on Out of TIme,
and Nick Cave's song is great. Not to mention Daniel Lanois' song
and the Jane/k.d duet. 

BTW, is Lanois' 'Acadie' available in the US? I haven't been able to
find it around Boston for the last two months.

I think this was intentional. Wenders didn't want the songs to
distract the viewer from the movie, and simply gave the artists
the plot line without too many details. What he received ranged
from 'Naked' out-takes back in 1988 from the now-dissolved Talking
Heads to 20 different mixes of the Neneh Cherry song(of which a 
rather lame dub mix appears on the album).

Which brings me to my question to whoever has seen the movie:
What's the new Peter Gabriel song like?

And where is KaTe?? Any album looking towards the future of music 
should include a KaTe song, right?
