Back in 1986, videos played in venues were switched "clunkily" between video machines. This caused screens and
video projectors to jump and roll. I hated it! So when planning the Xchange I found and purchased a $15,000 video mixera
that, at the time, was state of the art. This allowed me to mix videos, one over the other, with not so much as a flick...great!!!!
This clip sort of got worked over by the new technology. Wipes, fades, picture in picture, it's all here in Machinery.
This was a feature clip that played nearly every night for 6 months at the X.
Quality is average but you have to appreciate it was done on VHS machines in 1986.
It SHOULD NOT be watched on a big screen.

Who knows, if I get enough feedback, I might remaster it down the track.

In 1983 Canadian dance band Lime released a new 12" called "On The Grid", a remix from their 3rd album. This song instantly struck accord with me but wasn't really working on the dance floor and faded away as other great hits from Lime were released that year. Later that year the Movie TRON was released on video and I had re-watched it a couple of times after falling in love with it at the movies.
One night I had a dream about TRON and "On The Grid" came into my head at the same time. I woke up, startled at the
revelation the vision of TRON and the song were made for each other.

I edited together an extended video and premièred the clip at the Also Rawhide II Warehouse Party on Australia Day 1984.
The song was a huge hit on the giant video screen that night. From that moment on, the song started a resurge in the clubs
and people came up to me telling me how much they now connected with it because of the video. This clip is a total reworking
of the original in wide screen and High Definition and is presented here to celebrate its 30 year anniversary and is one of
my all time favourite music videos...No Problem!
