Can anyone remember what was the track for which the chems rejected a music video that was then used for another band ?
I think they talked about that in an interview but i can't remember all the details

I know this (more like, know of this) but like you, can't remember the details.

I hope someone remembers because now this question is going to nag at the back of my mind!
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

Yeah I remember investigating after reading that interview and this video got my attention. It was directed by Traktor (I'm actually not sure about that), it's very "WTF" and it was released the same year as Star Guitar

Finally I remember something you don't! Haha!
In the interview compilation thread where this came up, they said that they sold one of their videos to another artist and were legally bound to never say which songs were involved. So it looks like we'll never know.

I think there was a bit more information. Where's that thread again ?

Blender: Are there any videos that you had made but didn't end up going with?

ES: We sold a video to another band for cheap in 2002. We can never reveal who it was, that was part of the contract. It was not a great video. We had been on a press trip in Japan and our tour manager said the video arrived and we had to watch it. He said in all the years of working with us he's never seen our faces so gloomy and in sheer disbelief.

TR: A well-respected team of directors was involved. I eventually saw it on telly a few times.


I wouldn't think it was Star Guitar though. Maybe a single that went video-less like It Began In Afrika.

I don't think they had a vid for Afrika planned as there were no ads for it, hardly any promotion... so why a video?

that lovestory vid is the worst crap I've seen in ages.
love is all.
