Watching the Hydroplanes
Released
Tunnelvision initially had a very small formal recorded legacy courtesy of one 1981 single on Factory Records: the steady, subtly mesmerizing flow of “Watching the Hydroplanes,” Chris Anderton’s voice a yearning keen against the darker punch of the music. The 2005 Watching the Hydroplanes compilation pulled together that with the efforts of two demo sessions, one of which is also presented in a remix by Peter Hook, as well as a separate basic demo of the title track itself, the whole a good portrait of a band with an ear for some focused, strong songs.
