Tim: Yesterday I demanded a return to sensible videos; here we have a video that’s returned all the way to the 1980s.
Tom: I’m not sure that makes it ‘sensible’.
Tom: Interesting. I wonder whether it was actually filmed with 1980s tech, or whether it’s been carefully recreated with modern computers? The fancy backgrounds suggest the latter for at least part of it, but it’s hard to get that proper ‘fringing’ effect without actually pointing a camera at a monitor.
Tim: And let’s be honest, the music wouldn’t sound out of place 25 years ago either, really.
Tom: Ah, now that’s where I disagree with you. There’s a lot of newer dance stuff in there, although I’ll admit it’s not the most exciting of tracks. You’d expect a bit more from a final chorus, wouldn’t you?
Tim: You would. Ending is remarkably abrupt, which came as a bit disconcerting.
Tom: Perhaps, but I did realise why you got the 80s vibe from – that last bit sounds like the drum bit from Blue Monday.
