while the album never really did much for me (the voice just grates), <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
i just got around to watching the dvd that came with the limited version of the album.
expecting the usual 20 minutes of home video lo-fi rubbish of studio mucking about, i was pleasantly surprised to end up watching a full on budget busting film ! <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
each track has a video with a period costumed theme to it. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
my fave has to be the mad hairdo’d rollerdisco excess for ‘spectacle’<\/EM> starring carrie fisher<\/STRONG> no less, and the swashbuckling section for the opening track ‘dead meat’<\/EM> where sean gets skewered by a big greasy baddie in a battle to the death over honour, then there is the one where he kisses a fish, and even touches of xanadu with dayglo’d up flying saucers. excessive madness.
it must have cost a fortune, and given away for free with a few thousand copies of the album that probably most never even bothered to watch .. it’s probably the best freebie dvd ever given away with an album.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
well worth tracking down, especially as this makes you listen to the album a little more, and you know, it’s a pleasant grower of an album which can be lazily summarised thus : <\/FONT><\/DIV>
downtempo, melancholy pop music sung by a son of a beatle.<\/EM><\/FONT><\/DIV>
