This song, Young Pilot Astray, is actually really catchy if you make it to the chorus. I believe what is featured in this video is a bowling ball, a doll and an inverse color filter on the contents of a room. How the final photocopier effect was done is still a mystery.

im pretty sure he recorded this song on top of another song and another tapes seems to have that effect of muddled echoness. ihave this smashing pumpkin mix tape that i mixed back in the day seems that there was alot of dubbing over when it came time for pumpkins now it sounds so slow .
@LovetteCher funny you mention that, some cool cat at the supermarket down the street from me plays Helen all the time in there, I couldnt believe my ears
wish he didnt use echo, reverb étc constantly (it's not used musically, but just as an effect).. in every song i heard so far... the songs seem nice, but are always in a puddle of smoke curtains of trying, i guess, to be vague and weird, weirdness comes from the soul, not from some effects pitty, great songwritr though
actually he is using effects and a 4 track. But probably analog effects. I in my opinion its not the fidelity that's hard to achieve, its his arrangement & song writing. So layered and intricate but loose at the same time.
@hitmachien the music wouldnt be the same without the reverb etc, although it may be overused in some spots, its used perfectly in others and i think that is better then not used at all, noones perfect he he

This sounds like elevator music. An elevator in a building full of parties. >_>
Still, love it.

those aren't affects. He records on four tracks. Trust me, you can't make it sound that good by trying. I've tried.

weird is a subjective statement
its easy to call things different from your expectations weird, but im sure he just enjoys the sound of those effects

this is an AMAZING video..short and sweet just like the song.
Awesome effect with that still drawing of him..very moody.
I change my initial reaction moreso upon a second viewing!
Great piece of art..
