The trailer we took to record companies, made up of clips from inspirational films and TV shows at the time - the 80s - such as A Clockwork Orange, Blade Runner, Dangerous Living, Pink Flamingoes, Assault on Precinct 13, Escape from New York, Scarface, Rambo, Firefox, Mad Max, Predator and assorted television images to illustrate the dystopian future the band would exist in. We always said we were the soundtrack to the movie. I took this shuddering VHS into every record company in London, most of the time having to play it in in front of the assembled staff, on the only television they had in those days, who reacted with a combination of excitement and revulsion at these futuristic images which flickered over the robotic rock and roll soundtrack.
