Video Clips
The bonus video clips featured on the 're-booted' release of Unit featured 3D animation produced by Yeomans and his then-partner Janet English of Australian rock band Spiderbait:
- "Everyday Formula" is based on the film Tron, with singer Quan sucked into a computer program (via laser beam) and is forced to play the first game in the film.
- "Black Bugs" is a computer animation of cartoon animal versions of the four band members.
- "Polyester Girl" is computer animation of shiny chrome women.
- "! (The Song Formerly Known As)" is simply the band members miming the song on the busy streets and subways of Tokyo.
- "Modern Life" is about the life of a textile worker.
- Another music video produced by Yeomans and English that was not released on Unit Re-Booted was "I Like Your Old Remix Better Than Your New Remix", the a b-side to "The Fourth Single From Unit". It featured animated versions of the band members (including session keyboardist Shane Rudkin) in both a virtual Pac-Man-esque setting and a Frogger-esque creek full of crocodiles. This video was the only one not featured on the re-release and is available on the single.

Famous quotes containing the word video:
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
