Just downloaded it, nice one. My favourite track from 'Double Figure'.
Long nice build-up to 4:16 where it takes a sudden turn with some lushy
lush vocals.
I'm not a conspiracy buff.. so what's up with 23?
By the way, those questions are from a test used by Scientologists, but
it's also used by others (consulting firms and such(!)). The questions
are meant to make you feel queasy, of course. The test was originally
known as "American Personality Analysis", before it was adopted by the
scientologs. Fits well with the "us theme" of the video.
Some of the questions (and 'answers'):
'would you like to "start a new activity" in the area that you live?'
Followed by a sniper loading his gun.
'do you tend to put off things and then discover it's too late?'
Followed by George Bush jr. shaking hands with Al Gore.
'do you consider that you could give a valid "snap judgement"?'
Followed by the sniper, getting ready to shoot.
Can't imagine this going down well in the us right now. Definately
un-american :)
regards,
hj
