Using A Hidden Camera - Eyes In The Sky

"Using A Hidden Camera - Eyes In The Sky" is a song by TV Mania, released on the Bored with Prozac and The Internet? album by Tape Modern-The Vinyl Factory on 11 March 2013.

About the song
This is a dense, nightmarish collage created in 1996 while keyboardist Nick Rhodes and then-guitarist Warren Cuccurullo were spending their downtime looping daytime television snippets over swathes of synths and post-grunge guitar.

TV Mania were envisioning a world where a family would give up their day-to-day privacy and allow their existence to be televised to the masses. At the time of the album and the song's creation, the Internet was in its infancy and reality TV only existed in the form of MTV's The Real World.

Aside from reality TV, the album also explores a broad range of other modern themes, including virtual shopping, surveillance, pharmaceutical drugs, fashion, film, fame and faith. Hence "Using A Hidden Camera - Eyes In The Sky" - surveillance.
