Spot on! I've never been bothered by Jim's 'recycling' as it's done in such an ingenious way, that it all sounds original to me. Objects & Endless Appetite are good examples of two brilliant AND original songs (to me) that MUTATED & MORPHED!

Jim obviously had some musical input. Knowing Jim's track record as a composer, ALW would have been daft not to have asked him to chip in musically where he thought fit. A bridge section here, a tweak to a chord progression there etc etc.
I think the music & lyric credits were probably agreed at the outset, irregardless of who did what, as that is how ALW probably wanted it.

Love the Garlic intro riff and Jim should re-use that on something.

The Garbo and Batman STUFF is great and Jim obviously hit a purple patch in the late 90's when I guess some/most of this was written?
In fact NOTHING is absolutely gorgeous (from the short clip I've heard on YouTube).
> Also... what can we do to revive this board?
Nothing really until a project sees the light of day.
Jim does comment occasionally on his Facebook, but hardly ever about his musical projects, which is a shame, although he did mention last week that BAT musical auditions are due to start 'soon'.
