CLMD – Wild Men

“The first time you push play you won’t be concentrating on the music.”

Tim: This is a video that could be taken several ways: funny, weird, maybe horrifically disturbing. Either way, the first time you push play you won’t be concentrating on the music.

Tom: Which doesn’t say much for the music, really.

Tim: Perhaps not, but if you switch the screen off and just focus on the sound, you can really appreciate it somewhat, or at least understand what the video has to do with the music. It’s not particularly special – this would most likely fall into the forgettable category you introduced on Tuesday – but I think the video at least is worth a note.

Tom: I’m not sold on that video: adding subtitles doesn’t really work in a music video.

Tim: No – only really serves to further distract from the sound. It’s not a bad track by any means, but it’s all somewhat standard, and the video really isn’t. So what does that tell us? That the two dance producers would be better off script-writing? They should just focus on the day job? Or perhaps nothing at all, and what we should really be doing is DANCING when a DJ puts this on in a club, because I’d very happily do that.
