But, NTM wouldn't touch La Haïne beacuse they thought it was a sell-out or
something, there was a discussion on the list when the movie came out. I
found the CD with the soundtrack to both Cafe Au Chocolate and La Haine.
It has Bob Marley "Burnin' and Lootin'", Isaac Hayes "Tha Loving Feeling",
Zapp and Roger "More Bounce to the Ounce" (now I know who Daft Punk
copied), for "Cafe..." they've got Assassin, John Coltrane Quartet, Timide
et Sans Complexe, and lots of segues from various members of Zap Mama.
His latest movie "Assassins" didn't get good press so I probably won't see
it here in the US.
