david sent me some very interesting vids from “knife”, who produce neat minimal music and stunning visuals, live and in their videos

http://youtube.com/watch?v=VrjwqXwyzNU
Heartbeats. we know this song from the first sony bravia ad – the original song is from the fist knife album “deep cuts”

http://youtube.com/watch?v=kCqTsZwDi5k
Silent Shout. same name as the album title, interesting how the live show and the video correspond:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=c7EYiFzNohU

http://youtube.com/watch?v=UNZxW6C4BNg
Pass this On live. from the first album “deep cuts”

the live-visuals were made by andreas nillson, which was also responsible for most of the videos

http://youtube.com/watch?v=SU1JrMS45RQ&feature=related
stunning live-performance in a tv-show, with the characters of the original music video

the video for “marble house” is completely different, made with stop motion animation
