NOTES

Video directed by Peter Sinclair.

The confusion of images and ideas, which included semaphores, megaphones with blinking lights inside them and three girls in military dress on mopeds, perhaps attempted to capture the fractured brilliance of the Dazzle Ships album. "Great idea" recalls Andy "but it looks Mickey Mouse in execution!".

Perhaps the most notable aspect of the video is that the stunning Peter Saville telegraph design is here brought to life in three dimensions.

 

TRIVIA

The video is notable for the absence of Martin Cooper.
