The guy didn't like the video, and he wasn't impressed with the music that went with it. Can we get over it now? I'll admit that dismissing Coldcut on the basis of this one "piece" might not be the most open-minded way to look at the world, but you can't fault someone because they didn't enjoy it. A lot of you have been very condescending, ie, "Perhaps you didn't understand it," or "Don't you get what is so impressive," etc. That's not terribly open-minded either. I happen to think it's the best video I've seen in a long time, along with the Orb's "Asylum," which is just stunning. I'm glad that people are starting to be more creative in music video, because it's been in a rut for a long time and it's an artform I really like. -- Adam J Weitzman -- Individual, Inc. -- http://www.individual.com -- "I'm writing an unathorized autobiography." - Steven Wright
