this video rocks. really shows up so many modern clips for what they are - overblown, overbudgeted crap. fun, simple idea, sense of humour intact, great bit of music, hot eurasian disco babe. what more could you want?
France! So that's where they're from? I've had one of their lps for years, but I never knew anything about them (and never cared enough to look them up).
I already have a love/hate relationship with this video and i'm only half-way through it!
I HATE seeing people play monophonics with two hands! i love the 'video feedback' effect though. That drummer is quite 'teh ghey' (sorry)
Stuff this VAPID is what almost killed electronic music in the 80s AND I believe it did kill good sci-fi. Y'all please don't let it get this corny again.
"Stuff this VAPID is what almost killed electronic music in the 80s" Vapid is good! Electronic music was vital and alive in the '80s. It was those boring anonymous geeks in the late '90s that almost killed it. Give me Space over Autechre, any day...
I guess it's a matter of perspective. I'm, admittedly, a little sensitive about the whole 'pre-digital sci-fi' aesthetic and its 'commercial bastardization' in the early 80s. I think it nipped in the bud what was still a wonderful , uh, 'genre' once everyone got sick of seeing robots and synthesizers everywhere on TV an' shit. Sorta like how Disco died once the grateful dead did disco. And that spawned Grunge and you all know it, Damn you! (not you, but 'them')
