All but one of the Coldcut videos (there are 8 included on the CD-Rom that comes with the new record) were put together by Coldcut and Hex (most members of which are fairly interchangable, ie...Jon and Matt are also members of Hex, while some Hex members also contribute to Coldcut projects). The one thing you should understand with most of these videos (Timber, Natural Rhythm, Frog Jam, etc...) is that Coldcut and Hex worked on these simultaneously. That is to say the track didn't come before the video or vice versa. All the sounds you hear are taken from the video source that you are seeing. Taking sampling that one step further and throwing away the big business bullshit concept of a video being only made to promote a song. Glad you liked the videos. Ninjas
