100%, it was still the era when having big memorable promo videos were an important part of the business and an art form. I didn’t even have Sky growing up so I only saw MTV at friends’ houses, but I remember the thrill of seeing some incredible videos for the first time. These days I barely bother watching on YouTube, personally not found a Manics video worth bothering with for years.

The days of renting out a mansion are long gone though I wish they'd splash out on a producer and mix up their sound a bit.
I always found the idea of the expensive residential studio like the one they used for GATS baffling, it seems crazy to consider that this was seen as reasonable only a short amount of time ago! At least they didn’t go to Fleetwood Mac levels.
