Emergency Broadcast Network have released their ground-breaking audiovisual album Telecommunications Breakdown online for the first time. As Jonny says on the AV blog at videomix.es:
The release was original mainly CD Audio only at the time as general release formats didn’t allow for an AV album. All the visuals were made at the same time, basically the the visuals is the music and here for the first time is all the video album in one place::::::
Skip to 3:19 for a truly brilliant mashup moment, which appears at 3:27. Then watch it from the beginning. I can only imagine how difficult this was to create using the technology available in 1995.
simply brilliant !!!
So 90's !
Amazing considering the hard/soft used to create the stuff !
I remember the VHS tape I had of some of their videos (funnily enough, I always thought of it as a "record"), truly awesome.
The mashup segment you mention above is largely a remix of a video from that tape, called Get down, Get down.
Thank goodness for youtube, eh?
