That Wave - homemade video

This is a video I made several years ago for XTC's "That Wave". I used Bryce 3D, After Effects, and various pics and things from around the 'net. I didn't finish it - ran out of steam and ideas. I kinda made it up as I went. Enjoy.

Hey Ian,

Nice job! I still have your "You're the wish You are I had" video somewhere. You should put that one up too.

Hey Bob - yes i was thinking about that, and also wanted to credit you for the o&l thing.

Dave Gregory on the guitar solo in this song: "[it] didn't come easily. It's over a very strange Gm6 sort of chord. I took a couple of stabs at improvising it, but Andy said, Do you mind doing it again? It was decided that I would overdub it the day of the mix. I'm very proud of that solo, ... It plunges down to the bottom of the sea and climbs out again like a marlin rising out of the surf. [Laughs.] It covered the entire length of the fretboard, from a low F to a high D." Brilliant!

my comment may have been eaten...I just said that I enjoy the Fuzzy Warbles' version for a lot of the later XTC (past Settlement), the production they had for most of the decade was like Tears For Fears or something. But yes, sometimes great songs buried in dated gloop, like this one.

Nonsuch is a great album. Terrific songs, anyhow. Production is a bit lumpy in places. But some amazing tracks on it. Worth persevering with.

Brilliant stuff! This song is so full of surreal beauty and you've done it full justice; please finish it!!! 11 out of 10.
