Certainly y'all on this list have had a thread concerning the soundtrack
from the film, "187". I saw the picture about four weeks ago, and
during a mad music spree in NYC, picked up the soundtrack. All I can
say is...my god. This soundtrack is so beautiful, and spare, yet full
of grooves, it's damn near impossible to characterize.

Anyway, I've got a couple of questions for you. Who is V-Love (track is
"The Wilderness"), what has he/she done in the past, how accessible is
it? Who is Jalal (track is "Mankind (Part II)", what has he/she done in
the past, how accessible is it? Both of these cuts are
quasi-instrumental. A final selection is in the DJ Shadow/Funki Porcini
mode by a group called Bang Bang. The track is "Neither Sing Sing Nor
Baden Baden. Anybody know all that stuff about them? This disc is
going to become one of my all time favorites.

Finally, are the '97 aj list nominations closed yet?
Thx in advance....Pax.
