"With electronic music composed by PJ Harvey" - that's gonna be on Monday, and on the Tuesday there's gonna be "Orpheus and Eurydice", also "with music composed by PJ Harvey": http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06bnq12.

Here's a preview clip for the latter: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p032nv9w.

I hope it's gonna be dark industrial electronic, in the vein of "Joy" (although it seems highly unlikely).

In the second version music is even more interesting (there's even an album version of "Down by the Water" playing in the bar scene, and the same piano theme from yesterday that I mentioned above). And at the very end (44:10) there's some folk-ey vocalise which sounds like it might be a part of a new album (Polly's voice sounds very interesting).

Someone should give me the source file and I could chop it for everyone!!

This is being broadcast again: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06bhw9n (note the different address). It'll be available to listen to on the BBC website for a while.

I've only just noticed that the director of the second play (not re-broadcast yet, it'll be out on the 31st) was Nadia Molinari, who produced On Kosovo Field.
