You know the footage showing everything in the path of an atom bomb's shockwave exploding to dust....what's housing the film cameras that allow it to withstand the blast ? Serious question. I love Cardiacs so much.
@87oliveira Public information films about nuclear power/bombs from the 40's and 50's. I forget the titles now, but they're easily findable from the public domain films section of archive.org
Whoever made this video was a bloody GENIUS, its kewl .. waaay kewl !!!, whoever made it THANK YOU. And .... more thank you's to the MySpace Lesbian Chatroom girls ... Raven, Franno, Ruca, and Chauncey .. I love you all. xxx.
I think Cardiac's could do more "dark" songs like this. I like their other stuff also, but, i mean, this is quite poppy song, so they could be more famous. Nowadays there's lots of "art" and light melancholy (and chilling/background music from post-metal to "freak" folk (it's not freak, it's just boring)).
Cardiacs always making insane music! This is the first time I listen to this song, and this is so awesome!! It gives me flashes of Dirty Boy at times, and that's not a bad thing for me (dirty boy is one of my fav songs ever)... Tim is a musical genius, undoubtly! (sorry for my english btw)
Where can we get hold of these gems? Fot those of us in our mid-40s whose vinyl has been destoyed by dogs and children the fact that the official website has ALL music listed as out of stock is very upsetting. Don't understand why ABC / Org ? / whoever have done this. I'd dearly love to give them money for their music, but am being pushed towards £60 (and more) cds on on ebay and amazon...which I absolutely refuse to get involved with. Anyone got any ideas / help?
Astounding, and in a year where so much brilliant music came out, this probably still sneaks it as my favourite. This particular video demonstrates a great eye for an image, although the absolute highlight must be the guest appearance of MSN Messenger near the end...
Fucking brilliant song - The more I listen to it the more I want to listen to it - can't wait for the tour! Nice effort with the video as well matey ;-)
Big Ship iron is a nice guy, however he was only allowed to buy two - to get one of the 1000 singles go to organart dot com - they won't be there for long

@MrSteviesavage There were only 1000 produced, and that was 3 years ago - which is why the link to the order page isn't working.
