According to articles I read after seeing the film, Wim Wenders got a bunch of his favourite musicians together and asked them to record a song as they thought it might sound 20 years from now, to try to get a futuristic sound happening. The songs were all used in the film (which I'm still not sure about - was it really good or really bad? Dunno).

I hadn't thought about the cd until you brought up "Angels" WyoWoman. It's 9 years old - can you believe it? When I first heard it I thought it was so 'cutting edge'. Still sounds pretty fresh, eh? I particularly like Crime and the City Solution doing The Adversary.

Eek - this "Calling All Angels" stuff SHOULD have been a different thread.
