     There _were_ videos for several songs on _Superjudge_.
They didn't get much airplay though.  Insufficient support/bribes
from the record company, I assume.  But I think Soundgarden and
White Zombie reached the height of their popularity similarly
by "slickening" the production on their records, just as MM have
done.

Cheers,
Carl
