That was the Atmosphere video, directed by Anton Corbijn, actually, I don't
know very much about it, because I'm rather young, but I've watched it
countless times. They walk around holding many huge photographs taken by
Corbijn [who, by the way, is still alive and well and photographing Travis].

Ian was epileptic, egomanical [of course, all musicians are], and had an
extramarital affair that possibly led to his suicide. The book 'Touching
from a Distance' by Deborah Curtis is a pretty interesting read, probably
biased because you can't write a book about someone you've been married to
without being discriminating, but I don't think any other book is more
informative about Ian's life and psyche.
