...Branch Davidians, the documentary does not completely condemn Koresh. Gazecki contrasts the two sects that split (one of which formed the Branch Davidians), showing the leader of the other sect as a disreputable criminal. By this comparison, Koresh seems less villainous. Even when detailing Koresh's greatest flaws, the soundtrack shifts to melancholy music that laments rather than condemns the situation...
Medazzaland also features Duran Duran's noir contribution to the soundtrack of the movie The Saint, "Out of My Mind." Like the majority of this album, this track is slower that Duran Duran standbys. In fact, as Medazzaland progresses, we are brought deeper and deeper into an uncomprehensible world. The last three numbers on the album are almost depressing, with LeBon sounding more like a narrator in a post-modern after-school special that a jet-fueled pop star. "So Long Suicide," "Michael You've Got a Lot ot Answer For" and the questionably titled "Undergoing Treatment" seem to delve...
Video and performance artist Kip Fulbeck offers a similarly vivid perspective with his piece "Some Questions for 28 Kisses," although his offering is less a video performance of poetry and more a creative film with a poetic soundtrack.

The clips, for instance, all feature scenes in which white men and Asian women are embracing. Meanwhile, questions roll across the bottom of the screen: "Do they really have...
...fact, lies a fault with Fulbeck's film as a whole: too often important ideas are lost as the viewer frantically tries to make sense of the disorder of processing three different types of information all at once. Most annoyingly, two voices can almost always be heard in the soundtrack to the video, reciting different speeches simultaneously, and a great deal of the effect of either speech dissipates in this technique...
Jarmusch, for whom Young recorded the soundtrack of the underrated gem Dead Man, shows his deep-rooted love for the band through his engrossing, though repetitive, mix of interviews, concerts, and more interviews. He also uses old film footage to fine effect--for example, juxtaposing a scene of a very stoned Neil Young & Crazy Horse circa '76 (bearing an eerie resemblance to the guys from This is Spinal Tap) burning flowers in a Parisian hotel room with clips of the band today as elder statesmen of rock: men with a past that resonates in their music...
