This video is notable as being the last time Sarah Smith and Tim Quy played with the band. Sarah had ceased to be a full-time member of the band more than a year earlier, but had made other guest appearances before this one. There is a dedication at the end of the video which states that Tim Quy left "our world" the day the video was made. This is a joke by Cardiacs and was meant to indicate that Tim Quy had left the band. Many fans mistakenly thought he had died. There are several references to Tim Quy throughout the video, mostly in the backstage sequences where several members ask whether anybody has seen him. Future Cardiacs members Jon Poole and Bob Leith can be seen in audience shots.

Of interest, Cardiacs shared the same management as Napalm Death at the time, and both bands recorded live videos in the same venue that day (Napalm Death recorded Live Corruption). Some members of Napalm Death are huge fans of Cardiacs. Contrary to some reports, however, they were not on the same bill. The two video recordings were entirely separate events with Cardiacs recording in the afternoon and Napalm Death in the evening.

The video was directed by Steve Payne and produced by Steven Malitsky, for Fotodisk.

Maresnest was officially re-released on DVD format on 2 September 2013, with improved video and sound quality.

gollark: For labels, 20Hz.
gollark: For redstone, yes.
gollark: Labelnet could do 600B/s, though, it's way better than 20B/s from Bundlenet.
gollark: I got the basic stuff worked out ages ago, primarily just the 256→187 encoding, but I never figured out how exactly it ought to work for actual use.
gollark: > Heh.. This is as bad as using labels for communication between side touching computers.I really should work out the high level labelnet API!
