The Gun is Good Video

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

Hey Loopz is there an offical VHS video promo tape of this kicking around anywhere? Be great to get hold of this to put with my other promo vids collection.

If you don't want to mess about with quick time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHjXyHlpmXs

Think it's a brilliant video. The video and tune itself are easily the best thing they've done in ages for me. I'm actually feeling really excited about any future new material now after being a bit indifferent. Good stuff!

Keep coming back to this song and video! If any of you regulars haven't gotten around to properly watching the video instead of just having the song on in the background I highly recommend it. Really, really loving the vibe of it, very Snivilisation!

It's kind of got me thinking, how ace could an album backed by visuals as good as that be? It's even quite subtly powerful in its way. Probably because of it possessing a grain of truth in spite of the silly over the topness. I do remember imagining years ago that impact would work amazingly with some kind of anime style video of an impending asteroid collision and a last ditch series of attempts to defend earth with rockets and mad cartoon spaceships. So the end bit of the gun is good did kind of appease that. If only I had the same artistic talent!

Anyway! I do think there's definitely a lot of mileage to be had in the use of samples delivering a story/message over music as good as orbitals. Scratching my head to think of anyone that's REALLY consistantly hit the mark with something like that anytime lately, but that might be the beer addling it :lol:

I didn't think there would be one but I was hoping to find a better quality version of it somehow from somewhere. :P
