"Perfect Kiss" is great, although Hook looks awful in those sweatpants.

yeah but his solo at the end is awesome. wish it had made the lp/12" version.

I think the "Regret" vid is pretty convention by New Order standards. It could be any group's video.

Now, "Fine Time" is the winner for the most WTF-ness of their video collection.

The official "Regret" vid is one of my top 3. I love how it equates Rome and Los Angeles. I've talked about this on another thread. The "Bizarre Love Triangle" is perhaps my favorite work of video art.

For the record, the "BLT" video is directed by Robert Longo and the "Perfect Kiss" by Jonathan Demme.

Can anyone tell me what the story is behind the dude in the doorway at the end of the video for "Perfect Kiss"...the one who looks like Ian Curtis shaking his head "no"?? Anyone have any scoop about that??

That's Jonathan Demme himself. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but they always talk about how it seems like Ian enjoying their music. The head-shake seems positive.

Their other great videos are for "Round and Round" and "Confusion."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 6 June 2005 18:59 (eighteen years ago) link

"Confusion": Barney in shorts, priest-like and pie-eyed, attending legendary NYC dance clubs, pizza tossing, Arthur Baker takes cab, etc

Haha and I just noticed that the person who posted that is our own baaderonix!

errr, nope wasn't me - but I wholeheartedly approve the initiative.
I do like the official video though - shots of Rome iirc with sweet early 90's video effects

I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

^ambushed by unexpected emotion reading that

You could start a religion around the last fifteen seconds of the Perfect Kiss video.
