The Perfect Kiss - The Perfect Video

Well, if you're a New Order fan anyway. This thing is deceptively simple yet brilliant. It was directed by Jonathan Demme of Something Wild and Silence of the Lambs fame and beautifully shot by Henri Alekan of Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire fame. The audio is reputed to be done in a single take, 9:36 straight through, which is supported by it's appearance on the Retro bonus CD including the director's "action", "cut" and wrapup conversations - very cool.

It's the epitome of earlier 0New Order with the members very unemotional yet oddly warm and inviting as well. It's like a voyeuristic peek into a complete studio session. Gillian never looked so great. Barney's vocals are in top form. Stephen has his typically odd facial mannerisms, and Hooky's playing that big bass like it was a lead guitar. Throw in some primitive synths, drum machines and even a cowbell, sampled frogs, and car screeches and you've got a classic. But anyway, here's the 10+ minute clip itself in full rez, mpeg-4 and 160k ACC audio totalling 123megs of video glory!

That's from 1985, a year before Demme's Something Wild came out, which featured Temptation as part of the soundtrack. I'm told that you'll note a lot of New Order tracks in the background of his movies but can't recall specifics.
