Peking Man's self-titled album took away a stack of awards in 1986. It also spawned chart-topper 'Room that Echoes', and this number six hit. Made by cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh — who was later Oscar-nominated for The Piano — the music video highlights sibling singers Pat and Margaret Urlich, gel-assisted hairstyles and saxophones. The Auckland cityscape is littered with construction cranes and glass high rises, shortly before the 1987 stock market crash. Legendary Auckland cafe DKD (behind the Civic Theatre) also takes a starring role. The clip was nominated for Best Music Video at the NZ Music Awards.
