Flip... Dark on the Water

During the making of our album "Flip" at Abbey Road, and Trevor Horn's Sarm Studios. We became aware that there were certain songs in the project, that, whilst not instant Single material, were still very good songs that deserved to be heard, given the right situation.
"Dark" is one of those songs. One of my personal favourites, it combines all the best bits of what the band was about, IE. Great songs and musicianship, coupled with a sense of scale and drama. Tony's lyrics here, for example are suitably "out there". And to this day, I've yet to work out what they're about!
This footage comes from a rather poor VHS tape, which I've managed to clean up as much as possible given it's age and limited budget. As you see, I've also cropped the image to widescreen format, and have spent a fair bit of time with each camera shot to make sure that what you see are the important bits!
Audio wise, one of the resons for me re-visiting this video is that You Tube now seems to be in stereo, and music will always sound better when it's as close to it's original format. as possible. I hope you enjoy the final result.
PS. If your PC is linked to a good sound system, the author recommends you play this LOUD!
