Re: TOYS

As has been pointed out, the TOYS soundtrack is quite interesting and
beautiful, with, among other attractions, new vocals by Tori Amos.

In addition, I wonder if anyone else thought that the opening theme
song sounded *very* much like a KaTe KomposiTion?  Elements of RUTH
instruments, rhythms, and arrangements, and a couple ooo-ooo-oo backup
vocal stylings that sounded an awful lot like KaTe.  I didn't actually
think it was her, but did wonder, and was looking anxiously at the
end credits.  I think it was the same composers as most of the other
music:  Trevor Horne and ???(someone else mentioned the other name in
another post).  Curious.

And, for what it's worth, I thought the film, though flawed in a couple
of really minor ways, was B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L.  As others have said, a
cross between Dr. Strangelove and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
(which is a damn fine recommendation in my book).
