A bit like a compilation album. The Kiss and Tango Between the Lines are the only new material Nyman wrote for the album. The rest of the tracks are taken from unfinished operas or film music Nyman worked on. Dagmar Krause (that chick that sang with Henry Cow and Art Bears and Slapp Happy and a million other bands) does half the vocals on The Kiss if that's any incentive.

Michael Nyman - The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
Michael Nyman doing a minimalist opera based on psychological case studies. How incredibly hip and edgy. He also copies Schumann a lot throughout it so you know it's good.
