I've been convinced since I first heard his music that Kenna, who has at long last released his debut album "New Sacred Cow," is writing the soundtrack for The Invisibles. The first image that came into my mind when listening to the first track, "Vexed and Glorious," is that it should be choreographed to a Busby Berkeley/Esther Williams-type tango dance number, except staged in an underground nightclub and the "dance," at least for the latter half, would be The Invisibles in a tight circle and mowing down shocktroopers, then at the end they spiral down a trapdoor in the middle of the floor like water down a drain.
His other songs also suggest Invisibles themes, like "War In Me," "Hell Bent," and a bunch of others I'm flaking on at the moment.
I also feel Del the Funkee Homosapien & Dan the Automator's "Deltron 3030" is especially Invisibles-appropriate. One track goes:
I wanna create a virus
To bring dire straits to your environment
Trash the corporations with a mild touch
Crash your whole computer network and reduce you to papyrus
Of course, Morrison himself said that Kula Shaker had been one of the primary musical influences, especially, I think, during Volume 2 (Books 4, 5 & 6), when King Mob himself is listening to it. But then, Morrison seems to be somewhat embarrassed by that admission nowadays.
