Faceintheleaves is right - the LAX elevator music is Betty's theme, which on the soundtrack (cut#5) is married to Roque's Theme.

Now, the dinner scene - I just suffered through a fast-forward of the whole movie (I haven't watched it in years), and now I am not sure if that is a Thought Gang piece or a Fox Bat Strategy piece. I remember we pulled it off a DAT tape Dave had of an earlier set of experimental sessions that never went anywhere. The cool thing about the piece is that each round of the bass/drum run, a new beat is dropped - no two lines have the same time. If it is Fox Bat Strategy, then the Bassist would be Reggie Hamilton and the Drummer probably Gerry Brown. They are also the ones who were in our live band when we played the Olympia in Paris. If it's Thought Gang (and now you've got me wondering), it would have been recorded in New York at Excalibur Sound with musicians picked by Angelo. Thought Gang was NOT a project by David and myself, but one by Dave and Angelo, recorded a few years earlier than my association with David. We mixed it a few years ago, but neither he nor Angelo thaought there was enough good stuff there to release.

So my best guess is Fox Bat Strategy, but now a doubt has entered. I'll try to resolve it.

The net result though as to why it wasn't on the soundtrack was that it was not a complete piece - just an experimental meandering. Dave liked the stuttering beat and wanted to use it for an awkward moment in the dinner scene. A backwards swoosh follows it and then a piece of "Mountains Falling", from the BlueBOB project.

Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for that John, much appreciated. Do you not have a dvd player on your pc ? You can normally just drag the progress bar right to whichever point you want to view.

Its a shame its not a finished piece. Such a cool wee number. Lynch was right about the stuttering beat fitting in well with the scene.

Yeah, I remembered wrongly. Anyway, even though it was just an "experimental meandering" it fits perfectly in that scene because Diane is not together, like the piece. And there's this infinitely suggestive feeling that her dreams/nightmares are not exactly over yet. So, that kind of "non-beat" you were talking about  - sorry my musical language is a little bit uncultivated - is actually disorientating... What she experiences at that party, is it concrete, true or just her imagination (the girl with the pearl earring kissing camilla, appearances of Badalamenti, cowboy etc.)? It was not a question, just an illustration.

Speaking of dreams, guys, have you ever had this kind of dream experience where you only dream a music or a piece that's related to you, with no images attached at all?!! When that happened to me, most of the times it coincided with my awakening.

If I think of it, it's like an unconscious alarm clock melody. Funny and weird, huh?

Ha! I never have watched a DVD on my computer, so I never thought of that! Can't stand computer sound. Yup, Mr. Technology...

OK, back to my bat cave...
