I saw the ATwin/Stakker film at the Quenn Elizabeth hall on the South Bank last year. We had to watch this instead of a live soundtrack to a horror film which RDJ was due to do. Everyone was really pissed off beacuse it had already been cancelled one due to the cleaning of the film. The video reminded me of the Artificial Int video which I really liked but then computer imagery became interspersed with film of some blond woman driving around. Lots of the images seemed very enigmatic/disturbing next to the music. For me this was the most disappointinf thing about the film cos it was all SAWII which although is great music I know too well and I was expecting some new stuff. The film gets really heavy with a real power station piece from SAWII combined with images of Vietnam and various atrocities which makes for unsettling viewing. On the other hand we get some of the more beautiful lilting tracks cut with old footage of sailing past icebergs etc Overall, I prob wouldnt buy it, I dont know, but I hoped for more computer imagery or something a bit more abstract to engage the brain a bit more. That Hannant track on the Motion video is the kind of thing I really like. I mean, what the hell is going on there! cheers RA

Thanks for so comprehensively answering my query. It sounds good. I was just wondering if you or anybody knows where I can buy this video from? If it is indeed for sale?
