And the Jacksons video inspired the Klaxons’ “Golden Skans” - even down to sound effects that ride over the music:

Magic Crystals: I note you mention the music ‘ducking’ to make space for the visual parts - I believe this is in fact another reference in the video, this time to the Jackson’s - Can You Feel It. It has very similar visual effects to the Scanimate stuff above, and every time an fx has sound it pushes the song back! Genius

Great visual representation of Nostalgia, for a group that perfects what we used to call retro. That is until retro became associated with the likes of Lenny Kravitz.

Good music from … France. I’d love it if Air listened to this stuff and maybe became good again.

I quite like the song but find it annoying when parts of the track are muted to emphasize some part of the video. That guy’s leather jacket must really stink. He has it on every day.

I also find it interesting how people casually weigh in on Justice and Daft Punk. -Cue casual weigh in - My take is that they are an extension beyond the looped filter funk of early Daft Punk. Daft Punk got more into what could be termed “songs” and Justice are taking it all that one step further. Like Kraftwerk but with emotions and … facial hair.

Of course, anybody that is hip is already moved on to Surkin and checking Shinichi Osawa.

Justice are the new Hall & Oates.

Its one to grow on!

So-Me is quite into retro niche style and this reminds me of how the Beastie Boys would dig on different vibes. It is kind of cool but will probably confuse and lose any broader audience.

Incidentally, I watched Kanye’s Daft Punk performance with some friends and their impression was that it was geeky and “old stuff”.

What can you do?

Great Blog!

Cool video! Shame about the music, though.

Brilliant video, I would really like to see it in a higher quality… Although with loss of quality due to compression, I guess it sort of looks like VHS? =)
