In a previous life as an on-line editor, I came across a betacam copy
(with no audio) of this in an edit bay I was working at.  While waiting
for a client, I popped it in, did a live mix with a copy of afx's
selected ambient works vol 2 & a pair of CD players, running off 10 vhs
dubs at the same time.  The end result was something that worked a hell
of a lot better then the Glass soundtrack and ended up being a christmas
present for a bunch of my friend.

Then a few years later, I found a copy of the soundtrack on vinyl and
asked my roommate if he'd ever heard it.  He said, 'sure, it's the music
that's on that copy you brought home'.

The whole time he thought the aphex twin was the original soundtrack...
