Same here. It was about 22-23 years ago, I was hanging around a local street market which sold pirated music, and stumbled upon a cassette that said "Sneaker Pimps - Splinter, Alternative Electronic Music". The band's name appeared vaguely familiar (from the collaboration with Marilyn Manson, as I later recalled), but the main reason I decided to buy that album was its cover. The back of someone's head with a strange haircut, somehow I thought that was intriguing enough. I remember putting that cassette in my Walkman on my way home... I was captivated from the first sound. It was totally different from anything I've ever heard before. The music, the voice, the mood... Strange, eerie, beautiful, haunting... My English was very poor back then so I had a bit of a hard time understanding the lyrics and couldn't appreciate their originality and poetry as much as I can now. Nevertheless, I felt connected to these songs, and I still do. I like IAMX and pretty much everything Chris Corner does, but Splinter forever holds a special place in my heart.
Dude. This is horrible, simple, and just plain sucks. Would you like a list of ten bands to check out that are ACTUALLY GOOD? Becoming X is the only thing worth talking about from SP.
I remember when I watch this video for the first time. It was in 99, at the 6 am, Brand New on MTV channel. Lately I remember 2001 gig in Rome, the 1st April, Sneaker Pimps was the support band of placebo in Black market music Tour. I never leave these guys in the last 20 years.
I still ponder what the meaning of the song is, I assume its about the singer having way too high expectations/standards for themselves and expressing that in the term "give me a low five" (since a high five is reserved for truly great accomplishments) Edit: Nvm, Chris has actually stated the meaning, its about American capitalism
Has been the best and worst kept secret for years, I tell everyone sneaker pimps and they are blown away and still I don't get how they aren't huge, love them share them and enjoy pure audio bliss
Thanks for this! Been wondering lately why you guys never made more music videos for Squaring the Circle. For such a stunning album there is so little to digest in terms of live performances and videos. Would love to see the new vocalist sing live and to see more videos as the album really deserves it. But hey…no probs if not…still think it’s one of the best albums in the last few years. Thank you and take care x
@@BiteTheCurbNow I'd argue that Splinter is by far the best album that Sneaker Pimps produced. Becoming X is a great album, but it doesn't come close to the uniqueness and brilliance of Splinter. Nothing else these guys have done in their other projects has come close either.
Low five exactly is the state of doing nothing and running for nothing like lifelong extended ZEN that u accept the speed of the river and appreciate the NOTHING state cause it's in higher level than achievements of materialistic egos which also gained no progress, with that bitterness feelings in many ppls about their goals ⚖️Weight of the feather=weight of your accomplishments In appreciation of doing no hunger-efforts; low five comes to smash hard working; What a genuine idea behind this song
This is great song. It just sounds like a different band without Kelli. I wish they could have found a way to keep working together. Their sound was amazing.
I'm hoping they'll end up adding it back. I've had a couple other songs do this but they usually end up coming back within a few months. Fingers crossed!!!
It's their best album. IAMX gets more views though. IMHO Chis is better with Sneaker Pimps. Chis was a great decision. Better than Kelli, but Kelli's vocals get more views. WTF is wrong with people.
this album makes me feel some kind of nostalgia for time that has never existed
Sad boys be like that

I love you for that💙
Same for me 🤩
Cool to see you here! Totally agreed!!
The way my heart dropped when I saw this greyed out in my playlists 😭😭
I remember listening to this album in college back in 2010, I was obsessed with it
What a slept on band. Always a favorite for the nostalgic episodes
Slept on?? 6 Underground and Bloodsport got huge plays on the radio.

Sacred ear food is what I call Chris Corner and all his exploits!
Sneaker Pimps followed by Placebo, sounds pretty epic to me.
Vampire's are always ahead of their time.
this is the masterpiece.
I use to fall asleep to this...... It's just an amazing song I truly think sneaker pimps were way ahead sound wise
I went through a "faze" with this album, wow great memories!
I didn't know of this and now I'm going to make it my purpose to procrastinate and listen to this album from beginning to end.
Fantastic Album, has aged like wine. Good to finally get a video.
Yah, never seen this video, and I have a bunch of IAMX, Pimps goodies.
Always one of my favorite songs and albums! 🎉❤

What a surprise!! I adore this song, never knew there was a music video for it
Beautiful it gives me a sensation of finding balance ☯️
One of my all time favourite tracks by them. Hands down.
this is one of the most important albums in my life! I love this song
This is my favorite song!!!
Doesn’t get better than this. Classic trip-hop. Chris Corner ♥️
Yesssss ❤️ Team Chris always ☺️ perfection
What happened to the girl
@@wendyfrench8042they fired her
@@wendyfrench8042she got fired a long time ago, after the Becoming X album
Word.
I miss trip hop
I still ponder what the meaning of the song is, I assume its about the singer having way too high expectations/standards for themselves and expressing that in the term "give me a low five" (since a high five is reserved for truly great accomplishments)

Same ❤️ blows my mind people don’t love Chris.
Sacred music!
Art, music and phylosopy, i love u sneaker pimps
Glad you guys are back making music. The world needs you.
The singer Chris Corner never stopped. Check out his own project IAMX if you get the chance. :-)
@@Dimultica holy shit I never connected the dots there. I love both sneaker pimps and IAMX
great track from an incredible LP. be neat af if we got a 25th anni reissue w bsides and the instrumentals.
25th anniversary of THIS??
I wish they had a penis emoji on my phone. I'd give it 25 penis emojis. This is pure, no-cut GARBAGE.
Maybe Nelle Hooper on board for the reunion?
While I miss the female singer this guy as the replacement has still held up the band over the years. I'm impressed
The singer Chris Corner's own project IAMX are well worth checking out too. :-)
The Music is his, he is Sneaker Pimps.
He wasn't really the "replacement" as such, he was the singer before and after Kelli.
@@rrt08absolutely - he was the main driving force of the band all along (equal credits with Liam earlier though?)
Whuuuttt?? Chris is the sneaker pimps, love. Always was ❤️
Brilliant. I 💛💛💛 everything about this. This song means so much to me. I feel it heart-deep. Beautiful
still one of my fav tracks 🙏🏻
Remember buying this single
Listening, again! Love this song, a lot! x
Absolutely love this song
Back! Still loving this one. x
My favorite album! ♥

Still an excellent song.
From their best album 👍🏻🙏🏻🥇
Love it!
You haven't heard Becoming X ????

I think you’re onto something
Best of the best.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ❤️
Beautiful!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Chris Corner and Liam Howe are geniuses
On repeat

I can't get over this vibe! Stone Temple Pilots, Garbage, Fiona Apple - sexy, dirty, desperate to feel something
2:05 perfect match 🖤

The splinter album is no longer on YT Music did something happen? (Backup)
Hermosoo
YESSSSSSS
Excellent. But I want Kelli back. Lol
🏆
Excellent. Still doing the work.
2023 this is still the shit.
This is great song. It just sounds like a different band without Kelli. I wish they could have found a way to keep working together. Their sound was amazing.
I get The Cure vibes
Amo essa música.
Why did they take this Half life and a couple other songs off this album? I’m sad :/ did I miss something?
I'm hoping they'll end up adding it back. I've had a couple other songs do this but they usually end up coming back within a few months. Fingers crossed!!!
it's back!!
I'm SO happy! @@hexes5122
Buy the CD
Muito bom!
🎵🙌🏻❤️

😻😻
What happened to the girl
based
Ok cool…. But where is Simmone at ???
That's what I'm saying, good song though.
This is from 1999
LOL
@@TaraRyze my point exactly!
Makes me very sad to see the band leader still struggling. After all these years the only thing left is Jesus. God bless!!!
It's their best album. IAMX gets more views though. IMHO Chis is better with Sneaker Pimps. Chis was a great decision. Better than Kelli, but Kelli's vocals get more views. WTF is wrong with people.
#BringBackKelli
Wares Kelly ?
She left in about 1998 lol
we want kelly!
What happened to the girl
They never wanted her singing the songs in the first place. They were his.
Bring back Keli Ali.
Good tune . But lets be honest , Kelly would have taken it into the stratosphere.
Bring kelli back
Sneaker Pimps still suck for ditching Kelli 🎉
Bro where is kelli ali bring her back
She’s in my basement 😈
