from what i remember the cantina band from bruce baxter's sonic all-stars
was also pretty bad - file under 'seventies idea of music from the future'
along with anything from buck rogers tv series, battle beyond the stars,
bruno from fame (a little known x file), and incidentally that bad cantina
experience from the last star wars episode, oh yes, and erm, john
carpenter - to be honest the whole genre apalls me (this is growing up in a
scene where one finger was all that was needed to play the required one
note - or as phil okay once said "we wanted to kill off rock & roll") - but
to be fair, i do have a certain affinity to john carpenter's stuff, even the
sound track to the mid 90's "Ghosts Of Mars" which i watched on saturday -
complete with cock-en-ey gangster (oy, mind the claret !)
