2 Short Review Of The New Kingbastard Video

hello,

here's 2 short reviews i found of the [ d o w n u p ] video randomly on google. For those of you who haven't seen the vid, here it is again.

I remember the good old minimalist days of electronic music videos where all you'd see was an amorphous digital blob spinning across a swiftly tilting background. Kingbastard's latest video seems to recall those abstract times, even though there's something much more complex with what Chris Weeks and Weird Fields are doing with [ downup ]. The flashing, subtle cues have a message tied somehow to the words explore, exploit, explode, before somewhere along the way you find yourself saying, "I love Big Brother."

This time Herb Recordings' Kingbastard is the subject: the track used is '[ d o w n u p ]' and the video has a series of flashing pictures, cryptic symbols and phrases. Weird Fields has probably filled the whole thing with subliminal messages too, so who knows what he's brainwashed us into...
