Which is a shame, since it's quite atmospheric, and is the only time that
the "swan suit" is featured.  Also unfortunately the photo artwork
featuring said costume is missing from the NFE CD - it was used as a label
on the LP (which was contrasted with the "bat suit" on the other side -
the same concept with the album cover, i.e. there is good/bad and
light/dark in each one of us.  Brilliant!)

Has anyone mentioned yet that the classical compostion which "You want
Alchemy" reminds you of is Claude Debussy's piano work "Clair de lune"
(Moonlight) ?

Seconded!  but the most moving moment in the entire film for me is when
Kate invokes all those loved ones from the past, at the end of this video.
