State of the Nation (Industry song)

The official music video was filmed on a retired aircraft carrier, the USS Intrepid, for two nights at the cost of $37,000.

[1] To create the appearance of an ominous stage set, the production installed blue and white lights, red emergency flares and billows of smoke on the Intrepid.

[1] Retired and active U.S. Navy personnel, who managed the Intrepid, also participated in the shoot.

[citation needed] Half Hollow Hills East High School students were also brought in to act as naval personnel.

The lead singer, Jon Carin, has a rack of keyboard instruments with a synthesizer and a computer (not a Fairlight CMI), Rudy Perrone plays a Steinberger bass guitar, Brian Unger plays a Fender Stratocaster and Mercury Caronia plays an acoustic drum kit with Simmons hexapads.
