| I would say that there is a narrative in Jim's work that stiches a number of songs together however I think Carlin or other powers that be that infulence the money people are not convinced that the audio and the visual are locking together here. For example I would say that Paradise has to be in any film or musical but set in the future! No banker is buying that dream unless it is a flashback or something! Jim's soundtrack is in the seventies and beforehand, BAT 2 updated the sound to the eighties but that was about it. Got the feeling that Jim is forcing a square peg into a round hole. Money people tend to want something that sits well on their stomachs otherwise they throw up. They are not stomaching this futureistic concept (why does have to be set in the future - is that so important?) so who is going to compromise first or are they waiting for Jim to kick the bucket or something. That would be very sad and then we really would be letting the monster loose. Some compromise please gents. I would like to proven wrong as well. > That's very interesting.
