If I had *my* way, Supergroove would release a retrospective of their edgier funk metal. Capturing the vibe I was hoping for in their next album, after Tractor was released.
Nominated to choose the tracks, here's my picks.
An industrial remix of Here Comes the Supergroove by Avotor, to open.
Traction;
* You Freak Me
* Scorpio Girls
* Bugs & Critters
Tractor;
* Scone Farm
* Where the Sun Don't Shine
B-sides of singles;
* Five Word Headline
* Sex Police
(3/?)
#Listening to Crippled by Supergroove;
"These days go on
The nights are empty now you're gone
And I can see
You carry on unerringly
I hope that you don't turn into what you used to hate"

This was one of the new tracks on the epic 1994 EP Tractor. Released as a companion to the shortened radio version of You Freak Me, which was on heavy rotate on commercial music radio the same year.

> I never even really got past Traction
Oh dude! The Tractor EP is awesome, and some of their finest songs were b-sides on their singles; Sex Police, Come to the Party, and especially Five Word Headline

A song which - no word of exaggeration - single-handedly got me interested in media criticism, and thus independent media production. Without it, I may not be here today doing this work.
Never underestimate the power of song.
Music videos that are filmed backwards;
Splat by Bailterspace, video by Julie Hermelin, 1995;

You Gotta Know, Supergroove, the second video, made a few years after the 1994 original, for the Australian release of the single;

I'm sure there are many more. Anyone know of any?
Splat - This mesmerising video from American director Julie Hermelin's (Sarah McLachlan, Luscious Jackson, Moby) shows Bailterspace playing while New York streetlife passes by ... in reverse. It's a clever if not confounding concept when considering the band's performance, which appears to be forwards. Extraordinary processing and grainy contrast further enhance this one take wonder. Note the man "reconstructing" an apple with his mouth.
