[tomcornhole]

[shatyraty]

[ukteacher1971]

I saw these guys live once, opening for Meat Beat Manifesto, I was completely unprepared. I sort of just walked around in a daze for a few days.

[indiedancepop]

@ukteacher1971 lucky, what an awesome combination!

[dbacko]

Absolute fucking GOLD!!!!

[Fingamasta]

doesn't that old man with a gun upwards blow his brains in a sec there? and someone yells "call the ambulance" (LOL). thought he does.. i could be wrong dough

[ForSPARTA877]

there could easily be subliminal messages, hmm....

nowwwww im brainwashed.

[ziphavoc]

FUCK ME! I've been searching for this forever. Thought I had dreamt it. Now I am FREEEEE!!!!! My Quest is over. Thank You!

[Skumnation]

@ziphavoc dont mention it :)

[TheHillSideMafia]

@ziphavoc ive been lookin for this shit for years as well

[CCCKomrade]

@ziphavoc It wasn't a dream! It was all too real!

[CCCKomrade]

@ziphavoc Girl Talk is a fag.

[MrLdrumm]

I'd always felt a kindred spirit with this group....they seemed to tap directly into my capacity for abstract thought. Haven't seen this in years and it's still completely relevant today. Thanks a bunch for posting!

[frankensteinmoneymac]

These guys were like God's to me....I was studying TV/Video production at the time...keep in mind that back in these days the video editing equipment was no where near as exact as it is today. Although I do prefer the older analog style equipment, simply for intuitivity, and their "feel" they were rarely 100% frame accurate, meaning you kind of had to get the 'feel' of the timing of each individual machine . Its hard for me to fathom editing anything as rythmically complex as this!

[bullmeatt]

what is the original song called? i cant find it anywere

[phodder]

good stuff.

[superrkoman]

lol



[ayotkn]

cette vidéo me fascine. vraiment ! trop bon

[8712556]

who sang the orginal ?

[PierreAndreJacques]

I was lucky enough to go to school in RI and saw them in the parking lot of I think Club Rocket (coulda been the Living Room...Babyhead?...so many years, so many drugs) doing the station wagon thing with the big spinning dish screen and became an instant fan. What an act, way ahead of their time. I still have two (all?) CD's. Many thanks to the up-loader.

[synthdood]

ha ha, I have this VHS tape! It's a classic now.

[dangerouslytalented]

That guy was about to kill himself. I saw that video ages ago, the one that it could could hurt someone. The rest of the video is of him putting the gun in his mouth, and pulling the trigger. I have seen the whole thing before.

[bunnyhead71]

Thank GOD I have their whole collection of videos. I remember 1st hearing them on Sonic Outlaws (Negativlands movie). These guys were brilliant

[Ricecook]

Oh man, this makes me want to go buy a vcr so I can bust this tape out.

[Fredrok1983]

Nostalgia ftw!

[tk339]

They were light years ahead of their time.....this is still as cool as Antarctica

[andropod]

these guys were way ahead of their time. if only youtube had existed when EBN was making videos. . .

[ixceix]

i wish their stuff was available on dvd.

[loopwholetube]

this shit is fuckin awsome...word up. -loopwhole

[abSOULuteD]

So many messages in the scramble

[loopwholetube]

cool sampling

[gamerunknown]

The use of quotations is most appropriate when the sentiments expressed are antithetical to what the purveyor believes.

See the Chris Hansen ventrilo harassment vids for further evidence of this phenomenon. ;D

[aquaristic]

Bud, Dont!

This This This will hurt somone...Dont Do IT!

Sonsa Bitches keep yer mouth shut!

get Down get Down!

[3Eyescominatcha]

Nice....get the hell outta here.......

[CCCKomrade]

If you read up on Budd Dwyer there's a lot of controversy about his being railroaded- Supposedly he killed himself in a move to ensure his family would continue to receive benefits. I fucking love EBN and acts like Negativland; we need more cut-up bands like this.

[MusicCurmudgeon]

Gawd, I miss EBN - they could be having a real field day in this day & age!

[Metamorphines]

The politician is Budd Dwyer, Pennsylvania I think. He definitely didn't want to go to prison. Mariah Carey, which movie the Harrison Ford is from..? The hands of John Warnock Hinckley are in there shooting at President Reagan offscreen. Clips from The Manchurian Candidate, assorted riot footage..? Motorcade footage..? The police chief of Los Angeles, Dan Rather and course babes in bikinis with machine guns. Wonderful.

[UltraBibendum]

The Harrison Ford clip is from the movie "Patriot Games," which was a recent movie at the time, 1992.

[aquaristic]

Yes, my cousins live in Harrisburg suburbs but grew up in Harrisburg. Wild video, very sad, incredible song.

[abattoirflux]

Isn't that clip of the guy with the handgun (The heavier one in the suit) part of the newscast where the politician shot himself in the head?

[TonyBeazley]

yeah thats what I though...like back in 95...??

[stevun666]

man, ebn is so fucking awsome,

i just happend to find this shit while looking for dub tunes, and it ebn is b4 youtube?

how did people get a hold of this shit?

underground as hell. do they have a lable?

[athunt]

they released one album as well as a video on the TVT label in 95. other stuff was released independently by the band.

[shitmandood]

Man...I guess you just had to be there...

[xanderlev1]

This is still a classic piece of video revolution. Used to watch this on VHS with my friends, and get freaked out by their intro, warning anyone with seizures to leave the room. Pure 1990's underground artistry! Thank you, EBN. Genius.

[mrcrymnd]

I saw EBN perform this this live in 1992 in Providence, RI. They were light years ahead of everyone.

[LosMinstrelsDotCom]

I own this on VHS tape (Commercial Entertainment Product), and then bought their 'unreleased' "Telecommunication Breakdown" VHS direct from them on their tour (Joshua Pearson, nice guy!). No doubt, 'Los Minstrels Del Diablo' (the 'band' that I'm in), influenced heavily by this... basically started to do similar, because they weren't around anymore!

[gumgumningen]

EPIC WIN!

[Jimkaider]

Before the internet, before youtube, there was EBN.

[cm2dude]

Before Youtube Poop existed, there was this, and Cabaret Voltaire.

[Skumnation]

for sure!

[3Eyescominatcha]

Get Down!!!! Get Down!!!!! fucking classic

[penguicold]

cinatra manchurian candidate ftw

[plasticweapon]

harrison ford saves a terrified mariah carey from a crazed r. budd dwyer

[PeterPW]

I feel dizzy

[SantaDog]

I never knew one could make art from two traumatizing things; Budd Dwyer, & Mariah Carey.

[Skumnation]

Haha

[aquaristic]

@SantaDog Nice to see someone else remember who this is in the vid, fucked up story but what a fucking sound bite huh? Real emotions!

[CCCKomrade]

This is so fucking excellent.

[DejanXS]

cool!!!!!!!!!

[chumfilter]

I love this shit

[aquaristic]

Sonsa Bitches, Keep yer mouth shut!

[Skumnation]

This thing's gonna hurt somebody

[bigdave6777]

these videos from ebn are fucking awesome

[Safranski]

This video is good for the soul.

[MooseDesigner]

OK, one more comment from me. You can go to Josh Pearson's website (I got to it via Wikipedia) and get ALL the videos as m4v files!

[Vtripp]

Awesome!! Thanks for the tip man

[aquaristic]

I downloaded them and I cant hear the audio, what do you need to do to hear the sound correctly?

[MooseDesigner]

So freakin' awesome... I remember my roommate in college introducing me to EBN. He had the VHS with all videos strung together. "Psychoactive Drugs" and "Shoot the Mac 10" are also awesome for anyone interested...

[RorschachTV]

Great stuff, EBN were great.

Thanks for sharing.

[C0sm1nn]

What is the name of the song in 0.54 ? It's saying Get down,get down ,get down...

[narodniq]

"Jungle Boogie" by Kool & the Gang - 70s

[SBV123]

Anybody know whatever happened to the people from EBN?

[murcuryvapor]

They flew into oblivion on a U2.

[Xsuprio]

Seen this video YEARS ago and didn't know anything about it. Then I saw Ford yell "get down" On "Patriot games".

Typed in "patriot games music mix sample ford get down" on Google, got a link to jameshyman.c o m and he had a direct link here. Awesome clip. Thanks for posting.

[davedecay]

I have this in XviD format captured from VHS; converted to mp4 for iPod as well.

[MooseDesigner]

I want. I tried to buy the VHS off of Amazon since it was listed there for a while, but it never showed it being in stock.

[dilliot2k]

My mind is officailly blown

[SwankyPete]

this shit is genius

[sfchris]

This tape really needs to be watched in it's entirety and on a quality TV, not this crappy quality on youtube. Search Amazon for "Commercial Entertainment Product EBN" to find a copy of it.

[dlangway]

Does anyone have a live version of this? I saw them at the limelight in NYC when they brought their newsvan. I wish someone recorded that show. Awsome.

[KidneyStealer]

I have this VHS.. Commercial Entertainment Product if I do recall correctly.. I really should dig this out and capture it to my pc.. Does anyone know if these guys are still around?

[MidnighternApollo]

EBN is Meat Beat Manifesto aka jack dangers. check out tino beats volumes. all jack!

[omz23]

EBN is NOT Jack Dangers.

[draeven57]

Influenced by Meat Beat, but they aren't Meat Beat.

[murcuryvapor]

Album credits:

Telecommunication Breakdown

Contributing artists: Bill Laswell, Brian Eno, Grandmaster Melle Mel

Producer: Jack Dangers

Distributor: TVT Records

[stevecooley]

FYI, Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto fame did a lot of the audio production on Telecommunication Breakdown.

[gleeknet]

i'm so glad that i found this! i love EBN and was hoping the videos would be on youtube. the only i haven't found here yet is the mac-10 video. i'll have to dig up my CD at home and see if i can post it.

[sanatate]

It has to be remembered aswell that EBN did pay close attention to the audio mixing and mastering of their sampled material. They deserve credit for this also.

[emergencystopping]

I haven't seen this in 12 or 13 years. I've been hoping I'd see it someday again. Thanks.

There wasn't much in the way of computer editing back when this was made, so you have to think how crazy was the editing process for this.

[sanatate]

Another great one from EBN, the sample of Mariah Carey is inspired.

[coolgamer167]

If ANYONE evers find copies of this for sale, contact me... i've searched for years with no success.

[SWSimpson]

LOL. Mariah made my garage door open and my dogs cover there ears and howl.

[Vtripp]

I've been looking for EBN for years! Thanks for posting this!

[jbhouse27]

they should make more of these...

[gavvkk]

great collection. havn't seen them in years

[nomeus]

thanks for this...i wish i had this vhs but its out of print

[webwawa]

i had the VHS tape twice, and both times it got borrowed and not returned.. crap.. maybe they'll come out wt it on DVD.. i bet it's on ebay!
