APHEX TWIN "On" Video

The video was okay, though, I can't really judge because I haven't seen any videos before for techno songs. All I can say is that it wasn't what I expected. What did I expect? Well, not a bunch of "found objects" going all over the screen, and not the "nautical" theme, by the ocean, a diver beating RDJ's image up (or trying to), or the ear and picture frame (neeeeeer...... faaarrr-----Sesame Street). I was expecting a bunch of nature type things, a waterfall to go with the tinkling opening of the song, and something really deep and earthy to go with the bass beats, maybe with some computer graphics (have I been to too many raves?), with the predominant colors being yellow, blue, brown, and green. Whatever........ I was disappointed in how the VJ afterwards didn't give much credit, though he _did_ give the essentials (name of artist and title, etc.), and then went back to the grunge stuff sitting right next to him. The video also kinda lost its fun, dance effect (idm effect) sitting amongst the grunge alternative stuff that takes up most of 120 minutes......... I wish there was a 120 just for dance, techno videos, that would be great! :) I did love the cardboard stand up of RDJ in the video, kinda defiant looking.........
