Excellent film indeed - one of my favorite music videos.
Careful when buying the video, though: There is a version that has the
interview / synthi / DSOTM rehersal section cut out ! (I actually bought
the video twice :-(   )

No Synthi in the "live" section, as far as I remember - just in the
interview section.
Great music nevertheless - sometimes a Farfisa and Echorec are better than
a synthesizer - this film is the proof !

Yes, they are *so* cool in that video - I love it !
