I’m from Brazil, and at that time, 10 years ago, I really enjoyed both, the video and the song… and I showed it to all my friends, brothers, etc in Brazil, but I couldn’t find the CD to buy…
Now I’m living in USA, and fortunately last week I found the Marfa Lights “Tensor” CD on sale at amazon.com. I’ve already ordered it. But I hope that one day I could see that Infatuated video again…

Yes, I’m talking about the Infatuated video.

I probably have a copy of it on DV tape somewhere, but lord knows where! We had to make a beta copy of it in PAL as well for Irish television. So it’s floating around somewhere…

I saw that comment above about a video which was a flash animation… are you talking about the “Infatuated” video?
I liked that funny video made by Honkworm about 10 years ago, but now I can’t find it again. Does anybody know if it is possible to see it again?

held up better than i expected.

Nice to the Undertones back again. Paul’s voice is almost as distinctive as Feargals’ and I really like the two new albums.

The demos that Ray put out, with Ciaran are true gems. love the stuff. Only wishing it would be more soon… you hear Ray?

Anodyne is on a regular spin in the car “every day”. Only wish’d Tumbtack was on Tensor as well.

Cantona is still growing on me… some of it is great some still a bit ordinary (no pun Steve)

D’s “No flies on Frank” and “A quiet revolution” are truly great music that should’ve been appreciated more than it is. But then again isn’t that the case with all the Petrols stuff and spin offs..

Heh heh, I don’t know if you’re going to be impressed with this or not but Tensor always served as the soundtrack to my getting tarted up for another saturday night on the rip and one thing that really appealed to me at the time was that not many people knew about the album. It was kinda my secret. The whole album was great but I loved Lemon Rind for the bass. I always made sure I timed my exit to a night on the tiles with All Takers.
That’s it, I’m vibed up and ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit! Thanks!

I forgot that we actually rendered the video (which was a Flash animation) to video for our Irish tour. Damn. I don’t even know if I have a copy of it! Now I’m going to have to dig around for it.

Oooooops! I meant to say “Infatuated”. I put it down to brain freeze due to over excitement at the prospect of the tour. Now that I think of it though, Hypnotised is a great song as well. I’m off for a wee lie down!!!!!

Tensor was such a great album. I still have it on heavy rotation after all these years. Hypnotised had a great video at the time. TPE reforming now is a dream come true. I waited in vain for years for Ciaran to do a PJ Harvey but it never happened. Ciaran is one of my favourite songwriters ever especially as he was in a band that had an embarrassment of riches in that regard.
All the best lads!
