Put a ring in *this*. Last night's Depeche Mode thread inspired me to share with you: Enjoy the Silence, rendered rockingly (apparently, it's possible) by Failure.
Ah, Failure. A very unappreciated band, imo. I used to have an almost complete Ken Andrews collection, many reformats ago (excluding year of the rabbit). This is one of their better covers.
I've got Fantastic Planet on DVD. What a weird, cool flick. My favorite part - of course - is where the adults get all zonked on something psychoactive and have some kind of artistic/creative mind-sex and/or persona melding/sculpting.
You got that right, loquacious. When I first saw that movie I was not really prepared for the full-scale communal depersonalization thing. There are many weird things about that film, but the mind-sex is the most (and pretty accurate with respect to my memories of hard acid trips. Purely a coincidence.)
