hmmm, thanks so far. never watched any of those greenaway films, they always seemed a bit TOO wanky (and i like a lot of wanky films)

ok, after mucho clicking of buttons on amazon it appears to be called "bird list" from a film called "the falls". imdb has this to say about the films soundtrack.
"Michael Nyman's soundtrack is memorable; he later remade the 'Bird List Song' (which features in a variety of forms), as 'Hands 2 Take' with arty British band the Flying Lizards (best known for their minimal version of 'Money (that's what I want)'."
now thats something ELSE i want to hear!!
(thanks everyone.)
