The Aesthetics and Technology of the Music Video...They can share the production values of fantasy mini-movies...It's the Visuals...No, it's the Music...Oh, it's the Imagination...like walking into a Gallery of Vague-Wave Surreal Surprises!

Kanye West - Power
"Every superhero needs his theme music! The wonderchild from Chicago himself released this video for "Power," with direction from Marco Brabilla. Kanye famously decried that the video was not a video, but a painting. For his part, Brambilla told Artsbeat, "It's kind of apocalyptic, in a very personal way. It's a very exaggerated hyper-sensational version of what the song is saying."

James Blake - Limit to Your Love
"We're particularly enthralled by director Martin de Thurah's deft use of darkness in this video for the ever-soulful James Blake. The video's style is tense, putting the viewer in the role of the voyeur who's always glimpsing from the other side of a doorway or from behind a love seat. Tense, soulful, sweet."

All India Radio - Rippled
"All of the lights! All India Radio's video for "Rippled" features long-exposure photography and makes able use of light painting, the technique everyone was super excited about a few years ago and imitated in Facebook albums. The video took over six months to make, according to Darcy Pendergast, one of the masterminds behind it. The idea for the video came from "awful German light graffiti artists," Pendergast said."

Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know
"Director Natasha Pincus's stop motion animation video for Gotye's song brings to film the uneasy feeling that accompanies the realization that someone you loved is slowly losing the geometric shapes someone painted on their naked body. We've never seen such an unflinching portrayal of the defragmentation of a lover's body paint!"
