Guess it might be nice to link to the Art of Noise's homepage. >>In 1998 they released a cover of Prince's >>"Kiss" that featured Tom Jones on vocals, which reached #5 on the UK >>singles chart and #18 on the US dance chart. > >Oh, their "Kiss" cover is much older than that; it was one of Derek >Bacon's favorite songs, and he died in 1996. (Admittedly quite >late in 1996, but still.) Nineteen eighty-eight, >perhaps. Yes, a pair of year-typos on me. Kiss was 1988, Peter Gunn was 1987. >>At the 1998 Oscars, AoN member Anne Dudley, who composed several >>scores for movie and TV, won in the Best Music, Original Musical or >>Comedy Score category for "The Full Monty." > >She also conducted the BBC Concert Orchestra in (at least) the Royal >Albert Hall performance of Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to the >Orchestra, which ended up being the DVD type specimen for that >tour.

Sounds like a inspiration for Kate, however you want to use "inspiration" Jeanne
