Mobius Band - The Loving Sounds of Static (Dir. Wyeth Hansen)

New video for Mobius Band, by Mr. Move (AIGA) himself, Wyeth Hansen. Sure to give Mobius a bigger reach:

It could be tighter, but I enjoyed the parts that held my attention.
The design and treatment are above average for in-front-of-a-green-screen genre.

I enjoyed that band's acting as well. "Hey, what's that over there?"

OK, all gets a bit 'creative' but at least it never detracts from the band. I think its great technically.

Pretty good!

--sidenote: There's a floating, rotating black diamond in one scene that reminds me of a really cool late-80's videogame (on my Amiga) whose name I've been trying forever to remember.. A very desolate tank-on-Icelandic-landscape battle/mine thing.. The theme music was some evil organ music (Bach?) I can't remember either.. Anyone? (long shot)

Look for it here: www.lemonamiga.com (although it sounds like you're talking about Battlezone)

That's it!!! Such beautiful vectors! Even though they don't document it, I swear I had an Amiga version (I guess C-64?), with sweet icy colors, a more advanced cockpit and a bit more of an Icelandic feel than just the plain ol' evil-green. I swear that's true, I remember the floppy drive sound it made when it was loading, and Amiga was always ahead in its graphics.. I'd die to see the game again.. Thanks, fam.

Actually it's Arctic Fox, something of a Battlezone knock-off. Wow. Those screenshots..

I have a PC-based Amiga-OS emulator at my house on disk. I no longer have a PC, so I no longer have any need for the emulator. It's a demo of some kind, but it worked fine (I tested it out). If you want it, I can mail you the CD.

I have played Arctic Fox :)

That's okay, I'm on Mac anyway.. I'll prolly download a Mac Amiga emulator sometime.. To play music videos! I swear! I'm on topic! This is the best music video ever!!

really liked the prismatic glassiness - what was this shot with, cellphones?

fun video, good pokerfaced performances, nice quirky, unexpected effects. good one.
