Synopsis

The opening track from the second JPSE album and indicative of a significant change in tone for the band - more layered and expansive, and less angular than some of their earlier recordings. The video was directed and edited by John Chrisstoffels, who shot the stained glass windows and tile mosaics in Christchurch's Anglican Cathedral. JPSE vocalist and bass player Dave Yetton created the pulsing and spiraling video feedback effects. The band appears only fleetingly - in individual close-ups filmed off a television screen by Chrisstoffels.

Magic tune. Quite dark somehow. Takes me back a-ways, does this.
