(TV) Qs / Film Career: Is There a 'Mistake' in Sun Review?

["Casey, Leo J" <Leo.J.Casey@Volpe.dot.gov>]

Questions: RE: the 2 new cds:  Both of my copies cost $11.88,  
is that a good price?  

Also both of my copies have "Made In Canada" written on 
them--anyone else besides our Canadian Listers got that on 
theirs?  

My copy of 'Around' had a cellophane sticker on it that 
said "Instrumentals Volume II", are we suppose to interpret 
that as referring to 'Warm and Cool as Vol. I? 

I realize that this might be asking a lot (or maybe be too 
quantitative, but Keith (and others) who have weighed-in on 
'Songs And Other Things", what letter grade would you give 
this cd (or if you prefer--on scale of 1 to 10, '10' being 
heavenly, what would you give it).

No comments from me for awhile on the 2 new cds as I'm 
drowning in government work (I guess that's good for 
you, the Public).

However Mark Richardson in his The New York Sun review wrote:

"....It turns out Verlaine was working all along, out of the 
spotlight - scoring independent films, as well as touring and 
recording with fellow punk icon Patti Smith. His fans' patience 
will be rewarded this week with Thrill Jockey's  release of two 
solo albums, 'Songs and Other Things' and 'Around.' "

"...The entirely instrumental "Around" is striking first for its 
contextual variety. While the influences vary quite a bit from 
track to track, the album has the integrity of a connected 
series of short vignettes. With so much feeling contained in 
such a stripped-down setting, ***it's easy to see why film 
directors came calling.***"
-------------------

Over the years we've all seen those mini-bios of Tom where at the 
end they mention how he scored silent films.  E.g., The scores 
were co-commissioned by the Wexner Center and Tim Lanza of the 
Douris Corporation, both in Columbus Ohio. The Douris Corporation 
is the exclusive worldwide distributor of the Rohauer Collection, 
one of the largest and best collections of film art, ..etc..."

Do you think the Sun Reviewer read an even shorter bio that didn't 
mention That the films were silents from 1920-1940, and jumped to 
the mistaken[?]  conclusion that TV has been scoring independent 
movies circa 1993-2005 (besides "Love & A 45")?

Or has TV actually been doing  scoring of 'modern' films the last 
15 years or so?  

Anybody know for sure?
