The Pet Shop Boys New Video: Love

category: general [glöplog]
Anyone seen the new video? Just wondering where they got their inspiration??? Maybe one of the last ASD demos like metamorphosis??
Open for discussion......;-)

Metamorphosis is FAR better than that!

Pardon me, but OF COURSE METAMORPHOSIS IS BETTER! It just struck me that the video uses A LOT of demoish aspects and ASD´s Metamorphosis was the first to come to mind (in my case)... Don´t get me wrong - the original is always better. It´s just funny to see how strongly some artists are borrwing from the scene (or how mainstream the scene has become ;-)).

I don't think the Pet Shop Boys watch demos.

hey, if Kanye West could've produced on an Amiga...

great song. the video didn't remind me of demoscene though - they have those kind of clips all the time on MTV - the whole atmosphere is not demosceniesh imho
simply pop-art

yep, that'll be it!
or could it be that they all borrowed from the same source of inspiration? no!

What would that source be then? :)

I can almost see it:
Where the streets have no names (love becomes so clear) by ASD [web] & Pet Shop Boys [web]

The only part I see it has any similarity with Metamorphosis is the fractal'ish part, the one with the eyes, right after the 3D part.

The song sucks, as do 99% their songs. And yeah, Metamorphosis is way better.

smash: You keep forgetting that the demoscene is the only source of original visual ideas.

I think they were saying the same thing. one ironically and the other literally, so the score's equal.

anyway, this video is just pop-art. it's all over the net and in galleries. and the demoscene certainly isnt the leader of it.

captain obvious strikes again.

OMG! Does really every Pet Shop Boys song sound the same?
