This track blew me away when I first saw its film clip on TV late one Friday night. In Australia, we have a video clip show on our national broadcaster (the ABC) called, Rage. It’s pretty much the only clip show you want to watch in Australia, simply because of the fact that it has an incredible archive of material to draw from, has the best guest programmers and compiles sweet special features. To be played on Rage is a massive milestone for any Aussie musician. I just loved how Blur reconnect a new generation with the wonky aesthetic of Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. These felt so fresh for me at that time even though they arguably haven’t quite survived the test. Around this time, I also loved the Retro debonair of Pulp, who released Common People around the same time. I think both bands were equally inspired by Kubrick aesthetics, although Pulp were a little more Disco about it.
