So who does the version of Brazil that is featured over the opening credits of the movie?
By the way, speaking of Terry Gilliam themes, eMusic has Astor Piazzola's piece that was used as the theme for 12 Monkeys, a film that has an understandably special place in my simian heart.

Posted by: H.L. Monkey at August 8, 2006 07:45 PMOnce again, you have purchased on iTunes what you could have gotten on eMusic: "For a Life of Sin" is available in both locations.
By the way, the same label also released an album called "For a Decade of Sin" (also on eMusic) which contains a REALLY cool cover of Jane's Addiction's "Ocean Size" performed by Bobby Bare, Jr. Bare, incidentally, also did a great cover of The Smith's "What Difference Does It Make," as I probably mentioned in some quiz somewhere...
Shoot, take a look at all of the label's compilations:
