    as far as I know, Deer Stop is kind of inspired by a crime scene sort of in the woods. Deers are stopping because they hear what's going on. Guess it kind of goes along with the very early photoshoot of Alison lying in mud and stuff. Which was also referencing a specific murder, which I can't remember properly. Help me out there
    :-S

    That Christmas Bunch song with Alison singing the lines for Lovely Head pretty much verbatim must have been a pretty big inspiration.

    @HrKnopf - both Will and Alison have cited Morricone often in the past - for instance, Will chose Morricone's "Nina" in his interview with Stuart Maconie in the summer.

    oh thanks! well...I suck being a fan. used to know A LOT 'bout Róisín Murphy (am I even allowed to mention her here or will I share Fannys doom?)

    so yeah, whenever I am not in a forum of a certain band it's more complicated for me to fetch good information and documentation.

    I can definitely hear lovely head in the good, the bad and the ugly theme! Specially remembering the Miss World mix.

    I don't have it to hand but as I remember Ennio Morricone is thanked in the booklet accompanying Felt Mountain. His music is certainly a key inspiration, especially Lovely Head and Oompa Radar.
