...has High on Fire ever covered Fire on High? Are you playing instrumentals because everyone there is tired of thinking about singing Post-Marathon? These & other questions...should be ignored...Sounds very Cinematic BGZ - or CineMusical - an interesting group of people indeed...not @ the same time I'm sure - but Reznor & Lynch together alone spurs the imagination !...

Here I was thinking the whole show was going to be instrumental as anything!
@Evan: Great work during the marathon. Loved the Eddie & the Hot Rods cover, too.
Simple Minds were quite popular down here in that period (Love Song was even a chart hit), and earlier songs like I Travel and Celebrate were even better.

I just got the Bappi Lahiri soundtrack that song is from in Calcutta in January, it's from a Bond ripoff film. Bappi is the undisputed king of Bollywood disco as far as I'm concerned. These days he's physically as big as a house and is sadly an active member of India's virulent Hindu nationalist party BJP.
