Geeky Video Review: Air "Surfing On A Rocket"

posted by Mike on November 8, 2006 12:01 AM in Music

Tentacle TV Heads. Lactating Breasts. Cigar Smoking Sharks. Fat Super Heroes. Body Builders. Floating Bones. A General In Drag. And My Wife Is Disgusted By It!

You wouldn't really expect this from a video by the two unassuming French buddies Air, would you? But it's there. It hardly makes any sense, yet it fits with the song's strange lyrics and pulsing drum machinations. The flowing masterpiece Talkie Walkie (put out a while back now) built their reputation further for tasteful voice manipulations and weaving standard instrumentations into electronic music. "Surfing On A Rocket" really switched their whole concept into overdrive though. Rivaled only by their fitting soundtrack contribution to the movie Virgin Suicides, this new wave in the evolution of electronica summed up by this absurd video will have people looking to France for the next queues in the pop music revolution.

it wasn't that disgusting, just a little disturbing. i like air. i just thought that the standing in the pool of human milk was a bit shock value. but that's just me. i thought the video was hillarious. :P
