    Perhaps Musique de Film Imaginé is intended as a résumé item for the Brian Jonestown Massacre, but if it is, it's a fine sample of Anton Newcombe's work, and anyone who thinks Take It from the Man! or Strung Out in Heaven represented the limits of his abilities will encounter a pleasant surprise with this album.

    Musique de Film Imaginé isn’t quite the most moving album you’ll ever here, but, more than most, it works.

    Now everything is dark and obscure, ghostly, as if moving in slow motion, bursting here and there in a few powerful and desperate explosions, mainly when Soko and Argento get to sing.

    It’s music from an imagined film, not an imaginary film in music; and although laudably ambitious, it goes down as an opportunity missed.
