That Chems video is great, as is the track, but that doesn't change how I feel about the Restless vid. Who doesn't want to relive the last Medievel rave they went to?. They're both great vids and whether one is better than the other is anyone's shout.

The Chems have a great long term relationship with the film producer Adam Smith, who makes their vids, all their amazing live visuals, their film 'Don't Think' (a great one to check out if you haven't seen it) and is now even performing on stage with Tom following Ed's departure from gig duties. I can't, off hand, think of a band with a better track record in how they present themselves visually and that's mainly down to Adam Smith so you're setting the bar kinda high.

Yeah I've seen Don't Think - in IMAX with an introduction by Mr Smith.
In fact Adam wasn't involved in the making of the Deserted video (he's hardly done any of their promo music videos with the exception of the "Further" stuff, he does the tour visuals). It was a guy called Ninian Doff (!). He's well worth checking out, and has previous form directing Royal Blood's Figure It Out video. There are similar themes in that video as regards who is the hunter or the hunted, victim or perpetrator.

I'm looking forward to Adam's Trespass Against Us film, starring Michael Fassbender, Brendan Gleeson and Sean Harris. It was provisionally slated for a debut at Cannes back in May, but as you say, Adam went on tour with Tom, so post production on the film seems to have been put on ice for now. According to this movie poster the soundtrack will be of the Chemical variety too.

trespass

Incidentally rumour has it that Ed may reappear in the Chems live shows towards the end of the year. He's trying to work touring around his Psychology studies where he can. So it kind of depends on where he is on his coursework as to whether he can get out to do live stuff.

I still say the Chems video is better than NO. No contest for me.
ps If you like the track, watch out for the forthcoming Skream remix. I think it's better than the original.

Yeah i too like the "queen" in the vid.That look she gives across the table to the lad - wow.Check my avatarSmile

Having lived with the song for a while now i've got my head round it a lot more now. Bought some expensive headphones last weekend and the long version on the download sounds really good.Well, really good moments here and there but also a few meh moments, it's a difficult one.There are parts where the song teeters almost on the edge of greatness - there's a part where Bernard sings the "What makes your day?/What miracle of life has come to stay?" bit around just before the 4 minute mark and there's a real spark there.It's a good song but catchy? No not to these ears which is why it baffles me when i've read people say it's a catchy pop song. Good song but a catchy pop song? Each to their own and all that.Fair play to them for being totally contrary and perverse by releasing the , from what we've read, weakest song on the album as first single/album trailer.Instead of showcasing the album's , from what we've read, banging dance/funk/techno/house direction they've gone for a chugging along mid pace guitar song.Brilliant.Takes some balls,that.Hats off to em.

New Order 'Made in Spain'

By Benjamin G. Rosado . Photo: Yago Partal

Last July the group NYSU it called on the social networks: "Wanted young with Nordic / British aspect '. The explanation of the mystery is found in the distribution of his latest video, Restless , single of the new album of New Order , published on 25 September. Medieval Fantasy, images of VHS and laser cannons disco act eighties a new miracle. As always, worthy of popcorn . Speech, Jesus Hernandez

How was the experience with New Order ? Very positive. As good British remain largely out once decided by a director. They let us work with more freedom than ever and supported us at all times.

Where the medieval idea come from? I usually have ideas videos as I walk with helmets Madrid. One day I witnessed a fight between teenagers in a square. They jostled, gesticulating and using a very primitive and savage body language. One was riding a motorcycle like a horse, another had a golden hat like a crown ... and suddenly I had a flash: it seemed the typical medieval duel, but adapted to modern times.

In your videos are homages to classic cinema and B movies, references to serious literature and Internet moderneces. ? Do your sources are not few, really: the surrealism of Lynch, Cronenberg physicality, humor of Woody Allen, the art direction of Buñuel, the eighties aesthetic Verhoeven and sense of gag of Roy Andersson. There is one key piece that is Zbigniew RybczyƄsk i, a Polish video artist who works with loops and layers that blows my mind. And artists like Erwin Olaf, Anton Corbijn, Alex Prager or Gilbert Garcin.

Who are the honorees in Restless? There are references to Excalibur Donner, a person Bergman, the Macbeth Welles, Bob Wilson, Derek Jarman, Larry Clark and syrupy porno 60 and 80.

You started to work with little budget. Now it seems that you add up more accounts. To what extent your essence has been hampered by the lack of insecurity? I'm not no friend of the term low cost. There was a time when I became fashionable and even seemed cool. The low cost is a timely circumstance. We do three-quarters of our videos a year in these conditions because also demand freedom.

When you defend the video more to support that as a genre, what reivindicais? In Spain when you say that music headed people you imagine rolling a singer on white background with dancers and fans. We filmed long ago that not a band playing. Our process is different. We adopt a genre or a discipline to confront him and played with a musical theme. Maybe that's why more work out where the video is still a minor discipline. Here we just call friends who risk and worry about the visual part, as Guadalupe Plata , Iván Ferreiro or Love Of Lesbian .

What it was the craziest idea that has been left out? Once the record called us 'sick'. We have many ideas censored in a Pandora's box.

What if you had to choose between two video clips, Let Forever Be Michael Gondry and the recent True Survivor of David Hasselhoff? Who do you love more, mom or dad? I do not know. I only know that David Hasselhoff would be the father ...

His plan ... 'In a crowded cinema hall, with people standing, dancing, drinking, giving everything on the screen while a marathon of video clips of Michael Jackson projects.
