I can only stand so much of this video, partly because it looks like a commercial, and partly because the commercial can’t decide just what the fuck it’s trying to sell. Using water and a high-speed camera, this car/shampoo/african aid presentation makes H2O look like a completely foreign object. Yeah, some of the effects are cheesy, but then again, who knew water drops could look like sequins? Beautiful and educational!
Hi there,
Pet Shop Boys fan here. My favourite of the recent videos is “Minimal”:

Superb song, beautifully-staged and executed clip.
And “Flamboyant” was pretty cool too:

Of the two new singles on PopArt, I much preferred it to “Miracles”.
Ah, I just saw Minimal for the first time last night, actually! While I fucking love the song, I was a bit annoyed with the performance on the singer’s part. When he points to his watch as he sings the word “time”, I can’t help but cringe.
