Actually not with the artists I mentioned - Waits's
soundtrack music doesn't actually sound like his more
personal records and Stan Ridgway has made only one movie
piece ("Don't Box Me In", which is less noir than his other
efforts).

Why not? In old Black Sabbath there is certain noir-like
feeling, slow riffs and stuff, even though they sing about,
eh, different things.

music in film and he makes marvellous soundtracks. Same goes
for Martin Scorsese and our local Aki Kaurismä«©, if any of you
has seen his films.
