FULL MOON



performed on:
Probably the most popular song from the SALT album, this winding, tangential recording is a true work of art, with vibes and ambience courtesy of Eno. The triumph all belongs to Nick, though, who gives the song its restrained intensity and an arresting, memorable lyric. Few of Plaastik's songs are more evocative, and this was pronounced in live performances on the Information Tour, which recast the song as a powerful rocker. On the Science Tour, it was a breath of fresh air as well when it was featured almost nightly as the quietest number in the set.

With no budget, the video for the song became something of a joke, simply footage of the SALT album spinning around on a turtable. The single reached #49.


last night
had it on the BBC
showin' a farm
talkin' to the lady
she said it's been a rotten year
and i never saw him again
