if you want to see an early version of their video
click here (http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2676035?htv=12&htv=12&htv=12&htv=12&htv=12&htv=12)


I really like it - kinda got an old-style feel to it (the song in itself), but done modernly... which makes no sense...

basically - it's a really good song, and def beats out a fair share of their last album.

(edit)
Video could be either really cool - or not - it's obviously a very early version of it

from the looks of the storyboard art, it's gonna look more like the Life Aquatic :D

would be cool if they kept it with just them against the black backdrops.

sound: very cold, cool and synthy!

really good stuff, back to the Ultra sound but with a bit more analogue thrown in there for good measure.

Hopefully, it'll be better than their last album which was far too half hearted.

Great song, how good is to watch some old Moog Prodigy synths in a 2005 video! The last clip they featured this synth was 'Just Can't Get Enough' in 1981...years passed, but the Moog remained...good signs for the upcoming LP!

I read on a DM website that this a a pre-release leak and that could explain the reason why its no longer there on ifilm. the song is all over the bittorrent sites tho. try mininova.

The music's OK, the synth riffs are simple yet efficient. But I don't really like the vocals : the high-pitch note at the end of each verse is irritating and the chorus really feels like old, second-rate synth pop.

With such a song, it seems like the band wants to benefit from the current retro-'80s trend ... and they're fairly legitimate to do so. Let's hope the new album will be better than the last efforts.

This songs makes me think to Enjoy the silence, with his little 80's bleeps. Enjoyable, yes yes :p

not too long ago Radio 1 broadcasted the Sasha remix to this track. I know not many dirts 'LIKE' sasha but i think this mix was done very well, its lushy and its upbeat. puts a smile to your face.

really? I should track that mix down...

I used to be a Sasha hater until I heard "Involver" - which completely reversed my opinion of him
