Jack’s score for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest — it’s obvious I’ve ripped that off my entire life (laughs).I did work on a record with him (Will Oldham) once, but it wasn’t ‘with’ him. It was an EP he did with Rian Murphy called All Most Here, which originally was going to be songs Will wrote, Rian produced, and they’d send off to people like Polly Jean Harvey to sing. Rian asked me to do the arrangements, which I think were added to by Archer Prewitt. In the end, Will ended up singing all the songs himself. He’s still an enigma to me.

There's a Mojo podcast and it looks like half the episodes have only just become available? Anyway, Big Jim is a guest: https://planetradio.co.uk/podcasts/the-mojo-record-club/id-2176269/
Some interesting guests elsewhere too: Thurston, Barry Adamson, Robert Forster.

I am listening to all the Steamrooms in order to find the diamonds. I'm making notes! So far Steamroom 3 is a real keeper, it's incredible, micropolyphonic dissolving via Shepard tones into monolithic moments of diatonic calm, it's like what every composer dreams of achieving. Steamroom 8 is early, from 1990, a static ambient shiny drone film score, it makes for a very relaxing and compelling hour
