"... shame the new (year 2000) soundtrack was so intrusive. The idea of a pop group putting a new soundtrack isn't new - it was done before with Metropolis, but at least that had several different artists contributing. This has just one group with just one or two recurring themes which sometimes overwhelm the feel of the scenes.

But the film was good, if a bit long, and interesting for its views of a working Lancashire Mill before we closed them all down...."
