2003
Lacquer: Behind, a great video directed by Olivier and Michel Gondry. A seven-day journey by car from LA to New York, shot at one frame per second with a camera in the back of the car compressed in 4 minutes.
Plaid: Itsu (QuickTime 2.8Mb) Fabulous animation video about the meat industry.
Röyksopp: Remind me (QuickTime 21Mb) another great animation video from Röyksopp and one of my favorite videos of the year.
Robbie Williams: Come Undone directed by Jonas Akerlund.
Cassius: Sound of violence. A rollercoaster through real and virtual landscapes.
The Constantines: Nighttime/ Anytime (It`s Alright), if you like abstract conceptual videos you've got to watch this one, it's special.
Enon: In This City (QuickTime 9.9Mb) interesting blend of animation and live action.
Kenna: Free time. All you see are shoes and legs, but what you SEE is a lot more. Not exactly a 'fun' video, but good. As a matter of fact I would have thought it better without the happy ending, but it's a music video, so.
A Perfect Circle: Weak and Powerless. Moving, eerie video.
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Can't stop a fun video by director Mark Romanek. Click on the yellow bucket to watch the video. High quality .flv file.
St Etienne: Action, just a collage of images from London, buildings, underground, bridges. Very simple. An eye opener nonetheless.
Schneider TM: Reality Check remember the (dis)appearing and rotating buildings in 1 Giant Leap's video for My Culture? Now imagine you can push a button and have that happen. Nice concept well made. (Click start on the band site, then A/V).
DJ Format: We know something you don't know, great breakdancing, great track, great setting.
Telepopmusik: Love can damage your health. I love this video and the dancer is absolutely gorgeous.

In music, dance, theatre and cinema creating a beginning or an end is more difficult than composing the middle part, because, as in chess, the number of possibilities is limited. Just listen to the final seconds of a random selection of songs on your iPod.
