As great as of a movie as Silence Of The Lambs is, Filigree and Shadow will stand the test of time even better, a bigger picture, art with broader strokes, while integrating many bands and talented individuals. One can't take this song out of the context of the entire disc if one is attempting to discern the quality of this cover, until the helicopters fade at last... Colin Newman wrote one good song and worked for good bands, Hawkwind and Wire are great but Ivo is a genius as id this cover
I think both this version and the original by Colin Newman are excellent. I think the Colin Newman version works brilliantly on "Silence of the Lambs". I don't think this version would have created such a creepy atmosphere if it had been echoing through Buffalo Bills flat like the C.N. version, but I still like it and actually heard it first, despite being a big Wire fan.
The original was written by Colin Newman. Alone. With too much generosity. A theatre mask of hostility attracts. Assaults occur in-frequently but those who come to conquer need strength but damage accumulates moving him to tears retained a sense of humour retained a sense of humour retained a sense of humour retained a sense of humour retained a sense of humour
Thanks for this. As I write this, I have a sick feral cat who seems to have had a stroke in my house. I might have to, well, will have to take him in, if I can catch him, for the pink shot. This song has given me comfort in times like this, and I could not find my cds. TYVM for this in a hard time.Yes- feral cat, but I did name him, and he lived about the house for almost 2 years.

@ggchi I think the original's by Colin Newman, there are a few videos featuring this song right here on YouTube, you can just type “Colin Newman Alone” and you will be able to listen to his amazing song! Colin Newman rocks!
Your Neo-Roman, Anglo-Saxon artificial approach to the world stopped all Evolution. Nothing new in the Western music this side of the eighties, thanks to that logic.

Just watched silence of the lambs, and was reminded of this song. Solid.

I still like the original version from Colin Newman slightly more, but this one has its place in my heart too. It's just awesome!

This whole album, to me, is one of the shining examples of the creativity and sheer brilliance that was the 80's. PERFECTION!

Should have left it with Colin Newman. This is seemingly not a career high point.
