Music video

The video was directed by Russel Thomas and Steve Jones on 18 December 1999. The live footage is taken from a show which took place at the Bayfront Amphitheratre in Miami, Florida on 18 December, while the sections of the video with the band playing on a dark stage were filmed in a London studio. The song was actually played twice at the Miami show.[1]

Commercial performance

Although the song was not as successful as the other singles from The Science of Things, only managing to reach No. 38 on the U.S. Alternative Songs chart and No. 16 on the U.S. Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, the song became the band's third most successful song in their native Britain (behind "Swallowed" and "Greedy Fly") reaching No. 45 on the UK Singles Chart.

There is evidence on SoundCloud that Warm Machine was used as a reference track for "All the Right Moves" (2009)[2] and "Do You Feel It?" from the Chaos Chaos EP, Committed to the Crime (2014).[3]
