The one thing I lament is that i really do like to watch videos for songs.
I think that there is a lot of unexplored area in the realm of making
interesting visuals for techno/dance music.
Some of the computer generated videos (X-Mix, the Mind's Eye) are neat, but
almost none of them really base the images on the music, they take pre made
computer graphics and match them to the music.
The orb video (patterns & textures) is still the best dance oriented video
I have ever seen, and even it does not go terribly far to match the images
to the music (though in a few places it is uncanny).
Of course, I'd be happy for bands to release their own tapes. Mtv doesn't
have to be a part of the scene at all...by the way, does anybody have
access to more videos by the orb (the blue room), the aphex twin, or any
other idm bands..?
