I really like these two videos. The Cornelius clip acts to further my infatuation with his music, meaning the video in itself reminds me of why I appreciate what he does in the first place. Everything is incredibly intricate and stimulates my senses, but rather than indulge me with any one thematic component, the video changes visual stimuli on a fairly consistent basis. When all those blocks build up just to fall down, it echoes the same sort of restraint that makes Cornelius’ music so incredible to listen to.

With the No Age clip I saw a band that, up until this point, I have given only half-attention. This isn’t due to the fact that their music disinterests me but rather that like many new acts, it is hard to know who and what you should earmark for further exploration. Needless to say Weirdo Rippers is cued up in iTunes right now…
