That's funny that you mentioned this. I also just watched the tapes of this show the other night, and snips of that exact vid have been running thru my mind at odd times throughout the day, forcing me to resist laughter. It's a proof of the concept that "If you repeat anything enough times, it becomes funny." This video is creatively ridiculous in that Coldcut style we know and love. The bass drum bug and the rhythmically exploding seed pods, all choreographed to the rhythm, were personal fave moments. Raises the perrenial (sic) question: Which came first, the video or the audio? 3
