Sure, we need some bop in there as well. It's sort of fun compiling a
soundtrack to a non-existent film, almost as much fun as casting it ... I'd
go for a combination / collage of lots of different styles and eras,
including classical and rock -- putting Webern up against Fripp and Bird
would be interesting ... something like what Fassbinder attempted in the
final episode of _Berlin Alexanderplatz_, when he ran together oom-pah,
Cabaret songs, and Kraftwerk to underpin and comment on Biberkopf's plunge
into madness.

Cheers,
