My 19th video in a series I'm working on for some of my favorite songs from the past.

Catherine Wheel is one of my last great favorite bands. I began listening to them when they released Chrome and several critics made Pink Floyd references in regards to their sound.

Their album Adam & Eve from 1997, which included the song "Phantom Of The American Mother", is one of my top 5 albums of all time. I was really looking forward to doing a video from this album but was faced with the usual difficult choice of which song to do. Nearly every single song on the album is a favorite, but my first choice would have been "Ma Solutida", but there is already a great video for this one. There were so many great songs to choose from; "Goodbye", "Future Boy", "Here Comes The Fat Controller" & "Broken Nose"....all of which I'd love to work up something for one day. However I just had to do "Phantom Of The American Mother" because it references some material that would make it really fun to play with.

This band has some strong Pink Floyd influences and it really shines through on "Phantom Of The American Mother". If you like Pink Floyd and are not familiar with this band....you are in for a real treat....dig in and prepare to be amazed.

Obviously one of the primary elements of the video is footage from Aldrich's 1962 film What Ever Happened To Baby Jane....still powerful, creepy and a blast to watch. Also are bits of Sonic Youth, Superman, and Cinderalla (fairy tales). I retained some sound from some of the bits since they seemed to work well, but it's always a hard choice to do so because you can easily interfere with the music if you over do it.

I really like the result of this effort, but as usual, as soon as it's posted things stand out where improvements could be made and I feel the usual desire to take it down and fix it.....oh well. Hope you like the result.

I truly appreciate the effort on the video, but vote ABSOLUTELY NO to having audio from Superman added on top of the audio track. It ruined the song for me completely and I had to stop it in mid-stream and dig out my own copy of this just to cleanse my palette and hear Catherine Wheel's "Phantom Of The American Mother" instead of this mash-up you've made.

Again, the best LP is Adam and Eve...the creative high-point for Catherine Wheel...one of the best bands under recognized...probably there is no female with her belly button hanging out during the video...;)

Awesome to hear from you on this one! Difficult to respond to all comments, but happened to see this one come across and wanted to reply since I'm so thrilled to hear from other fans of this masterpiece! It's so great you were tuned into what I was trying to convey with the imagery... "There's no rock n' roll parade for you Its time to face the truth"....against that beautiful/horrible "Migrant Mother" photo....I still love. Did several other CW vids if you're interested. THANKS so much!
