| As much as I love Jim's Left in the Dark (it is WAY better than Meat's), I would love to have heard it properly recorded by Meat in his "classic" voice. The Bat I voice. That, plus Jim's production and spoken word, would have been something to hear. Though perhaps it still wouldn't have beaten Jim's for pure raw, emotional gut punch. > Gus Van Sant's version was the first one I saw even before > the orginal, and I quiet liked it to be honest.
