The video depicts Front Line Assembly inserted into clips of the Japanese science fiction film Gunhed.[10] The Japanese film company let Front Line Assembly use any footage of the film in exchange for the right to use any changes the band would make for themselves. …
[Band member] Bill Leeb considered their approach to writing to be quite unconventional. “I was shown some footage first”, said Leeb, “we actually wrote the song to the footage. Also the lyrics were written to the footage.”[12] “There was a lot of brainstorming between us and the people involved in the video”, added [Band member] Rhys Fulber.[12] According to the band it was rather the images than the actual plot of the film the video clip is based on that inspired writing. “The actual storyline is kind of hard to follow because it’s all in Japanese obviously”, Fulber explained. Although “even just visually it’s hard to follow […] it’s just the imagery we found quite amazing.”
The whole album is a masterpiece of electronic instruments mastery
I love the song and the movie. I wish it would get a western bluray release. Sure it makes no sense 80% of the time but its damn cool.
I saw them a couple of weeks ago! It was a short set since they were opening for Gary Numan and Ministry, but they absolutely killed it!
Jealous! I wanted to go when that tour was near here, but tickets were sold out by the time I got around to it.
