Bulletproof - Seige

What a trainwreck this last month or so has been. All because the people that found and identified the track (correctly, I'll add) as Christopher Saint Booth - Ulterior Motives weren't familiar to this community. That instead of relief and joy that the song has finally been identified, they feel "betrayed" and "censored".

You might have spent 900 days looking for the song. You might have identified hundreds of songs on this website. But you do not deserve a medal merely for being part of the search. Because every lead you turned up in earnest were ultimately barking up the wrong tree. You had foolishly written off pornography as the source even though it was the most likely one after all mainstream sources had been wiped out and no-one could find or even so much as remember an advert with the song in it (unless you include the extremely implausible Polish McDonald's "lead").

We have as much evidence that the tracks were indeed the Booths' creation as you could possibly want. At this point, it's just wilful ignorance of the facts you can readily look up. From people who still think the lyrics are in a language other than English or from those who have never heard Green Gartside sing and cling on to the delusion there's an uncredited third female member singing the vocals.

What we know with 100% certainty:
The song appears in the movie Angels of Passion.
The Booths are credited as the songwriters in AoP's credits and even appear in the film.
The song "Ulterior Motives" was registered on SOCAN in the 1980s under the Booths' name.
CSB even came forward on social media, provided a lyrics sheet and the underlying synth track.
There are other songs written by the Booths' across several other pornographic films that clearly match the voice in UM.

Yet for some people this isn't enough, who think the whole thing is an 'American plot' to undermine the WZS community, including one guy on YouTube named barni349 that thinks the moon landings were also faked.

At this point, the burden of proof is firmly on anyone that can prove the song originated outside of Angels of Passion. That the 17 seconds picked were just so coincidentally the only 17 seconds without any prominent sex noises.

Carl92 was completely right in withholding where he sampled the track from, by the way. The literal thousands of 14 - 15 year old Gen "Alphas" afraid of the opposite sex calling him "freaky" completely unaware they'd have likely gone their entire lives without hearing the song once were it not for Carl's purposeful lie by omission prove this. The whole idea no-one knew what the song was built up its mystique better than just coming out with the embarrassing truth from day one.

It's obvious they weren't from a DVD made in 1999. The NTSC whine not present in the xH upload (but present in a torrented version) proves it was originally recorded directly from a US-market VHS being played back in a machine, with the "crunch" sounds occuring every 8 seconds being a mechanical defect from such a machine rather than any bed rocking SFX, with spectrographic differences down to the compression of the recording software used. Carl would have been 7 years old in 1999, no age to be messing around with A/V stuff, certainly not pornography. Furthermore, any 25 year old home-recorded DVD stored in a hot, humid country like Spain would have rotted beyond usability decades ago.

No government-regulated TV channel would ever have aired a pornographic film from the US, especially one 13 years old at the time. The whole thing was a lie to save face.

i don't think so, since according to the description of a video that i linked the band itself was unsigned 
besides that anything else i could find was an another way older upload of that gig, but it only included the first half of it

Is there a official studio version? If not, I can't really confirm it yet. I searched them up after you sent this video and there's nothing about them sadly, I think I'll just wait until there's a official version outside of this live gig.

it's Michaelangelo's David - A Man's World 
nothing else is documented about this band besides their gig on the tube in 1982, or at least that's all i recall about it
