Information AboutCrystal (song) |
"Crystal" was the first single to be released from the 2001 New Order album '' Get Ready '', which entered the UK charts at number 8. Singer/guitarist Bernard Sumner originally gifted the song to German record label Mastermind For Success and it was recorded by label artist Corvin Dalek . However, DJ Pete Tong heard the song and declared it to be the best New Order single since " Blue Monday ", leading Sumner to reconsider the gift and have New Order record and release it. The video, directed by Johan Renck (otherwise known as Stakka Bo ) depicted a young American band miming to New Order's music and words, with a large number of people coming on stage towards the end to pull them off stage. This video is directly responsible for the name of the band The Killers , as that name was written on the bass drum of the fake band in the video. The Killers later lifted a number of elements of the layout of the set from the "Crystal" video for the video for their track " Somebody Told Me ". The DVD Single contained an alternate video, set to the "Special Circumstances Mix" of the song, and directed by Gina Birch and Simon Tyszko . The video depicted a motorcycle ride through city streets at night, viewed through two side-by-side shots. Nicolette Krebitz appears on the cover of the CD and DVD packaging. The single was B-sided by a variety of remixes, and an original song titled "Behind Closed Doors".
