MCA Records recalls Cranberries video

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Reuters) - "Analyse," a video by the rock band the Cranberries, has been pulled from television and the band's Web site following last week's attacks because some of the scenes were deemed too similar to horrific real-life events, the band's label said Thursday.

The video, which accompanies the band's new album "Wake Up And Smell The Coffee," was filmed in London in August and features scenes of a plane flying over cityscapes and buildings, and a featured character walking by the outline of a dead body.

MCA said the video, which was originally released about two weeks ago, was being re-edited for all markets.
"The incidents in New York, Washington and elsewhere in the USA were the most horrific, saddening images I have ever seen. I've felt sick and numb since then. I would like to offer our sincerest sympathy to anyone who was affected," said the Cranberries member Fergal Lawler to fans on their Web site.

"Wake Up And Smell The Coffee" will be released on schedule by MCA Records, a division of Vivendi Universal on Oct. 3 in Japan, October 15 internationally, October 22 in The United Kingdom, and October 23 in The United States and Canada.
