[ShinyClown]

i imagine a dying man in the beginning and they close up to his mind and reveal his memories of his crazy rave life and he connects with this beautiful girl and they have electrcity between them and they're all happy. then it fades back to him on his deathbed but he jumps out and starts dancing. the rave girl starts dancing too all crazily. they kiss and it fades to the guy's in heaven.

[ShinyClown]

Man I was so high when I wrote this.

[Fozza888]

this track's SO fresh, its like a massive breath of the freshest mountain air, a kick of absolute energy that reminds you of the excitement life is filled with. classic

[truexromancex]

such a majical tripy song lol. when you are high it's trippy as shit

[chevyluc]

Last winter I listened to this while snowboarding. I rode down as fast and straight as I could with this song blasting in my earbuds. I stretched out my arms like a bird and looked out at the snowy valley thousands of feet down against a blue skyit felt like I was flying.

[limeybadtooth]

does anyone know where there is footage of the Avalanches perfroming the songs from since i left you live? there must be footage somewhere, they did a big tour to promote it,please help a fellow avalanches fan in need, though they could do that better by getting the new album done quicker,its beena long slow 7 years

[dexterliz]

This is my favourite vewrsion of this song - where'd you get this audio from?

[nativeman101]

this is not only the best avalanches song, but one of the best electronic songs ever! so unique

[cipishoru]

[cookieboy56]

[senserdat]

dude is all that layering lopin and blending yours coz if it is mate i hope by the time you read this that you've been snapped up. you do what a vid can be at its best vis rep of sound. Ace mate ACE :D

[vicetube]

This is what POP is. The archetype of Pop is like a college student with multiple degrees. It dosen't just dabble in each genre, it has a deep understanding of them all, and thus we have, in it's purest form - POP. Yes Avalanches are arguably the best POP artists of all time. Their music is more than fusion...its a sonic conglomeration. Boss vid btw mate! *Note: the cheesy 80s and 90s cardboard, digibeep bullcrap is "Mainstream/Popular Pop" its not the same thing, far too ambitionless.

[polyopulis]

this isn't pop... pop is short for popular and popular music is crap (yay mtv!) i get what you are saying but... it is just not pop. i would be happy calling this alternative music. if i were a musician i would MUCH prefer my music to be called alternative rather than pop

[vicetube]

Well my friend, I think we can both settle on "Synergy": meaning a blend of all sonic energies.

Check the band "Hybrid"

[BobLover101]

This is electronic. Avalanches rule. TUNEEE!!

[crazytosh1]

nah, pop music can mean either modern 'pop' music, or popular music, that includes soul, techno and anything that anyone likes

[veggie]

I just started listening to the Avalanches. I put this song on my ipod yesterday morning and last night after work I went longboarding to it and almost shit my pants I've never had so much.

big ups to the Avalanches from Canada

[stimpyholder]

The Avalanches are an Australian band.

[NoSunNoSunshine]

this is good VS materiel...... REALLY good VS materiel...

[cytuber]

Great video mulletstud.

[chaosrecords]

The song is sampled from Blowfly- Blowfly's Rapp

The lyrics that are kind of hard to understand are "Rap Dirty" sounds like "RIGHT THERE!"

Also Mr Grimm ft Warren G's Indo Smoke sampled it from Blowfly as well if the beat sounds familiar

[numero32]

Wow! Whadda mean you made a video from stock footage? Whatever ya did, the finish product looks awesome.

[whynotindeed777]

they've been teasing us with talk of a new album for a long time now! cmon already!

[lufisis]

where did you find this omfg this song is so under rated

[berlingirlie]

looove it^^

[bobbygnosis]

This track is so freakin' DOPE.

I bouht this album as an advanced copy for $5 back in 1999 or 2000 or something. That was one of the best buys I've ever made. Right next to Boards of Canada. God damn, I haven't heard this track in over a year.

[roboshuffle]

The version of the song is a little different than the one on the album... Is this from a 12-inch or something?

[heyseuss]

YEAH ! What the hell version is this one ? Not on the dj album or the original album either.

[shamsachu]

?? this is what i have on the original album

[heyseuss]

Weird, not the version on my album.

[KayRHCP]

I have 2 different original albums and neither of them have the same version as this.

[berlingirlie]

i like it

[truexromancex]

this song is so fuckin awesome.

puts me in my chill zone!

[isafany]

maan when's their album coming out? its been so long :(

[spacecowboy95]

they sampled the baseline from rapp dirty by blowfly in this song, but does anyone know what other samples they used?

[GVale]

Wow! I've always loved Avalanches! And Electricity was the music that made me fall in love with the magnificent sound os these australians. It's nice to see such a great fan-made video! Congrats!! :)

[ben12151215]

it fits perfictly nice one

[DerMessermann]

well done.

great song btw

[battle2n]

this is not the original video,but thanks a lot for only think about making a version of avalanches's songs,this band is the best

[mulletstud]

ya, i know it's not the original. i made it, i don't think they even had a video for this song...?  if they do, i wanna see it.

[tmoore2010]

very cool mix. i like it alot.

[cASp3rxx]

Sexy as hell!

[stellarshore]

this band was something extra ordinary, a freak of nature who possessed the musical ability to tap into real emotion and feeling, more than just a tune, like an extension of love through positive vibrations...there, i said it.

[XxH3adxshotxX]

Alot like daft punk

[chandlerbling]

no, daft punk is everything that is wrong with sample based music. they just take a break from an old funk songs, put em on a loop and dance to them. the avalanches are everything that was ever right about sampling.

[the1mills]

yes and no, some daft songs are really nice, I love "Face to Face"

[Gt4smaa]

He's saying :

I ... Rap

I... I can see, electricity ...

but.. you were close :P

Baylamoss albimbo :P

Luv the song <333

The avalanches rock <3

[boostedrado]

what is he saying? "rap dancin"

or what? can someone answer me... haha

[Doazic]

This is the best song ever!~!!

[raslucio]

cool the original 7" version of electricity, cant wait for that new cd its killing me

[MMXerbs]

Love the shots of the pitch dots on the 1200

[NiteSaiya]

What genre do the Avalanches fall in, specifically? I look in the Electronic genre and related areas and never find anything that feels as good as this.

[mulletstud]

i would call it almost electro rock , but i have no clue. hard to put it into a genre. one of a kind. i can't wait for the new avalanches album to come out. its been too long.

[ZombieJesusBrainz]

genre? they don't play notes dude, they play genres!

[xOrangeLazarusx]

haha very true.

its like electro, rock, hip hop, EVERYTHING.

[limeybadtooth]

this video is incredible,it suits the song perfectly ,this is different version from the one on the album but it is still electric (GUFFAWS)

[quoe1]

why did you slow the song down so much?

[mulletstud]

nope, i didnt slow the song down at all, i've heard different versions of this song, but this is the version i heard...didnt touch the speed at all.

[Phozac]

everyone should know this song. its great!

the video fits nice to it imho... especially the backspin(?) effects!

[onigun05]

this song is so amazing

nice video, comments the song well

thanks

[slicchic]

Where did you get the footage?

Tis is great BTW!

[mulletstud]

stock footage i found and some i shot, pretty basic really.

thanks for the comments

[TheGodMar]

Really good! I LOVE this song. :D
