Girlz With Gunz # 38
J.G. Ballard in RE/search 8/9 (reprint)"The Science-Fiction films (in the 40's & 50's) were low budget films, and the directors had to make them out in the streets, so to speak - they couldn't afford to build fancy sets the way people like George Lucas can today. And in that way they maintained their contact with reality, as did film noir. It forces a certain relevance on you. Even...'Blue Velvet' was shot against a very stylised American suburb - but it's a real suburb and that lends a lot of power to that film. I think the lifeline to reality is all-important. - like the umbilical cord between the foetus and the mother."

“That's really a question for Greg and Stephen, but I do hear connections to everything from Black Sabbath to Indian music and minimalist music, especially composers such as Phill Niblock.”
