"Rockitman" and "Millennium Man" were recorded in the summer of 1996 around the time Bushpilot re-emerged from a hiatus following making the recordings that would become the album 23 to appear three times in short succession at that years Leeds Sound City festival. The appearances led to interest from a major label in the USA, but as usual life got in the way. With a new drummer in the shape of Nick Tonge of Leeds heavy noise merchants Zoopisa, "Rockitman" and "Millennium Man" took from improvisations developed working with legendary Leeds producer Richard Formby in his studio and turning them more into songs: Richard thinks of them as "Frankenstein creations." The video was created by award winning Leeds artist Sarah Doyle, who also created the cover artwork. The video stars British rocker Vince Taylor, a key influence on a young David Bowie, and a host of model spaceships. Originally intended for release in 2021, well covid got in the way, so here it is at last.
