   Given lead times, Kate was probably asked to do a mix, but begged off
due to the pressure of getting the film ready. According to rumor, the
original idea was to get the folks in "Utah Saints" to do a re-mix.

   Hell, Jon Drukman could have done a better mix.

   One *really* fun mix would be to combine _The Red Shoes_ and Tori's
_Cornflake Girl_. 

   It's odd that there is no photographer credit. There is a credit for
"Sleeve Design" but no credit for a photographer. It seems odd, unless
it is a new Bush family company, a la Novercia, Kindlight, etc. John
Carder Bush may not take the absolute best photographs of Kate, but
she is usually most comfortable with him, and most at ease.

   And *what* is that background? For those who haven't seen the film,
it is *not* a scene in the movie, unless it was a scene cut from the
film (possibly from the "running through Hell" segment.) But that seems
unlikely, as the films apparent budget makes it unlikely that any major
scenes were shot and not used.
