EBN - 378

[BaronzPogz]

This might be one of the best electronic tracks ever..

[discothequeplus]

Nada me tira da cabeça que o tiozinho de 1:07 é o Marcelo Madureira do Casseta&Planeta. Inclusive parece português quando ele fala em 3:00 ...¬¬'' - Saudades do MTV AMP catequizando com música eletrônica de boa qualidade!!! (Ok, EBN is my inspiration when I cut my videos! ♥ - but I never could do this videotrip! Gratz EBN!)

[yalecheerleder]

ScarEEEEE good for a SCI FI eMErgencY

[yourLIFEendsN0W]

this still haunts my dreams at night

[tchock]

intense

[ShereKhan77]

thumbs up is you had this on vhs ans warped the tape overplaying it :) i hate doing this type of comment and i greatly dislike the unoriginality of most modern artists and i always keep my eyes and ears open.this was the end of a renisance that no one seemed to realise we were living.

[ShereKhan77]

"conga!" is danny kaye from call to arms.damn funny too.

[dbacko]

Love EBN. This is just GOLD GOLD GOLD!

[sweepstakes]

As a video, this is a real feat. As a song it's great but it's showing its age. It's all about that bass loop...what the hell is it from!?! :/

[brianartillery]

Fuck, this is good. Some people have freaked out when I played it to them. This is the correct response.

[fOZf8]

@ny1701

via wiki "378 Holmia is a typical Main belt asteroid."

...I'm sure I had read somewhere that there was a strange demonic tie to the number though...

It's also a fingerprint template designed by ANSI...

[LukeRatray]

Damn that was SO good!

I have the original C.E.P. vhs tape but I haven't heard this before... I am so hooked by almost anything Jack Dangers touches.

Anyone know what EBN is up to these days?

[fOZf8]

@LukeRatray Check out GNN ...Guerilla News Network, particularily 'channel surfing the apacolyopse'

[420projekt]

Saw this on "amp," on MTV when MTV had music, classic!

[lgb77]

15 years later and their material still stands on its own. incredible.

[tjsage79]

Friend had this record, there is a hardcore techno version on the other side of the record remixed by Frankie Bones. Cant find it any where.....?

[personalzatan]

I want to know, if sombody can tellme, the an of Tonga and the man whistling with guitar appears in what movies? thanks this video is something scary...

[cacemphaton]

@personalzatan shock corridor by sam fuller - the cowboy clip

[snuffle1]

When that redhead guy says "Tonga!" or something if you pause it his open mouth is encompassing half his face!

[cacemphaton]

@snuffle1 i believe that's danny kaye saying Conga!

[tjsage79]

If I remember??? The original record had a Frankie Bones remix......

[itstomd]

We are all ready for more EBN videos.. I bet all of this would get real big again..esp with what you can do today...

All of their stuff "rolls" perfect

[nevenen]

I love EBN. They make me warm and happy. I wish to christ they were still producing things... last i heard, the genius behind all this (joshua pearson) is stuck doing gucci commercials or something. you need slave labor? call me up. i just want new EBN videos. i will work to make this happen

[tk339]

EBN has some great videos. This is not one of them.

[DjWellDressedMan]

Amazing song and Video, with help from The Master, Bill Laswell

[dirtiwhiteboi]

oops, i think the movie may have actually been on TCM - whateva'... and thanx for the heads-up on EBN's acebbok link. i am now proud fan #5 (",)

[nevenen]

@dirtiwhiteboi INCORRECT! check your sources and get back to me.

[dirtiwhiteboi]

funny as shit - i was surfing channels the other day & happened to stop on AMC (Bing Crosby was singing something) and kitty-corner from him at the table (on a train) was Danny Kaye - the movie was 'White Christmas' and i just couldn't help but think of him screaming 'Conga!' in this video :P

[sloga123]

Join EBN on facebook

[dirtiwhiteboi]

omg... i just noticed the guy with the guitar & cowboy hat looks like Treat Williams (his character named 'Critical Bill' coz he killed a guy in his first ever fight :P ), from the movie 'Things to do in Denver When You're Dead' (he plays a washed-out semi-pro boxer-gone convict who finally lands a job in a funeral home, where he hangs the cadavers up by chains & goes through his fight training on them (omfg - if u haven't seen it, u really oughta' - lol!)

[dirtiwhiteboi]

LOL - it's Johnny Winter - aka Jody from "Family Affair"... wonder if that's Brian Kieth in the background laughing :P

[thebadpinoy]

1:44  CONGA!!!!

[fancypants76]

Awesome, i been missing this for 12 years!

[MockEmpire]

kill your tv!

[dasystem]

was Jack Dangers involve with this?

[electrikmonk]

yep, producer.

[jeepzillajoe]

I remember when this was on AMP.

[ttomdorrej]

Yes! AMP was by far the best thing MTV has produced in the last 15 years. I remember waiting for it to come on late night when I attempted to go to college. Smoking lots of pot and an occasional hit of acid or a roll before the program. Those were THE days!

[THEMADPROFdj]

Amp Ruled !

[trancefumes]

a lot of inspiration from tomorrow never knows

[greenderby36]

the fun part is, I got to see this firsthand in N.C. Years ago! Wow, my mind was blown and gone! Quit watching tv after this show.

[joegalambos]

that's incredible. that's all done with AVID. i can't even imagine the physical pain of making that.

[samaman]

holy awesome

[dirtiwhiteboi]

heeeeeeey... does ANY1 have any opportunity to perhaps post the vid for EBN's Homicidal Schizophrenic (A Lad Insane) ? deals with Son of Sam, if i recall - no collection is complete without it & i just can't seem to locate it anywhere. thanks & peace :)

[TheOldCow]

I used to have it in my favorites, but the user that had it took it down. I can't find it either :(

[galebns]

Amazing and wierd!

[n00bgenocide]

wow i bought telecominication breakdown after i saw this video tripping balls on mtvs amp back in 96/97 i still have it... it even came with a floppy disk but it only works on windows 3.1 lol

[InfinityPoint]

These guys really blew my mind back in the day...

[starclite]

1:48 what does this guy say?

[acieed]

CONGA!

[freeform83]

It's Danny Kaye

[bopomofo]

I first saw this on MTV AMP in early 1997...back when the "M" still stood for Music.

[DemonInTheWall]

@bopomofo That's where I was it too. I wonder what the M actually stands for these days. It surely isn't music.

[0e0]

@bopomofo what does the "m" stand for now? DO YOUR WORST!

[aqweaqweaqweaqweaqwe]

@bopomofo OOOO what an original comment...

[BitCrasher99]

@bopomofo - You too? Yeah, this was some classic stuff right here. Got my electronic fix every night when AMP aired. I miss that show.

[nibbletontontron]

w t  f

[djhousefire]

they took AMP off the air too early. i'd come home from the clubs and chill out to this show every weekend 10 years ago.

[crowsrlaughin]

what movie is the boy in the beginning from? does anyone know?

[fallenfruit1]

yes. its from Prospero's Books. Peter Greenaway i think.

[imthepb]

amen break

[xHATExCRIMEx]

Amen break??? Where??

Nowhere to be found in this song...

The "Apache" break is the main break...

Maybe you were answering a question that has nothing to do with this song?

[imthepb]

thanks for correcting the one-line comment i made a month ago. thanks

[huckteeper]

What a classic. Boy does this bring back memories!

Anyway, it is not named after a time signature. It is named after the gun, the Weatherby Magnum 378.

[7Honeydew6]

I was wondering what the connection was. I got into these guys in '96, had a few of there tapes. They don't make stuff like this anymore, that's for sure!

The connection makes sense, considering that video sample of the guy with the gun. Do you happen to know where the bass sample came from?

[joeyvankuiken]

favorite sample is the african guy yelling gibberish lol :)

[belleagle89]

this video scared the shit out of me when i saw it at three in the morning on acid. so did aphex twin!

[blackhands662]

Those were the days...  Primus' Mr. Krinkle also

[BaronQuintana]

i must find these guys. please tell me they still exist.

[technodon9]

THey are long gone. They played around early 90's. Amazing huh.

[BaronQuintana]

i met these guys in austin tx years back. they were so cool that they gave my friend a tape of something they never released. i have a copy. i think that they wouldn't mind if i posted it. i did use a piece of 'syncopated ordinance' for a colbert report green screen project that was never played on the show. i mixed in mccain. i don't think EBN would mind.

[PortPowerKS]

I haven't seen this vid since MTV had this show on late Sunday nights after 120 Minutes called AMP in the late 90's.. THANK YOU!!

[jayeverette]

I loved this video when it came out. I had a copy on VHS and would rewind it and play it over and over... It was very clever for its time, and I think it still is.

[electrikmonk]

not unless it's a mixed meter.

[TaoTeMaestro]

These guys must have scoured the Earth for their video and audio materials. I'm curious to know when this one was produced, as it makes use of the "Apache" beat, which was really popular in Drum n' Bass back in the mid-nineties. I'm not saying one influenced the other, I'm just curious.

[electrikmonk]

i think it was made around 93-94. i can say that jack dangers helped produce the music and he was doing drum 'n' bass as early as the mid '80's before there was even a genre to classify him in.

[AlucardDoctor]

@electrikmonk : I have a CD Single of it that was released in 1995 on TVT Records but knowing them, the video could have been from before the CD...

[TMundo]

@TaoTeMaestro there's a sample from raymond scott's soothing sounds for baby at around 3:35. At the middle of the one featured on youtube. He was late 50's early 60's electronica. This was quite an album when it was released, but was overlooked for some reason.

[wardrich]

@TaoTeMaestro Though I can't confirm I once believed what you stated; that he must have scoured the earth for the footage. The thing is, that you can sample ANYTHING and put it to a solid rhythm. If he had an eclectic enough collection of media, the projects might have been a lot easier than one would think.

[wardrich]

It may not necessarily be a time signatures... it could be like 3 hours 7 minutes 8 seconds, or 3 years, 7 months 8 days... or something. Though that's not really significant to us, it may have meant something to the band at the time...

[pavo6503]

Any ideas about the meaning of 3:7:8? What is the significance, if any?

[electrikmonk]

it's a meter of time if i'm not mistaken.

[machine413]

jamirokuai at 00:46

[pfat0]

Those are some menacing visuals.

[skewer324]

Today's March 7th, 2008. Perfect song du jour.

[wardrich]

Where has that Bassline been used before? It sounds REALLLLLY familiar.

[joeyvankuiken]

WHERE CAN I GET A QUALITY DOWNLOAD OF THIS??? i've been looking for it FOREVER

[r3vk3nny]

Needs more cowbell...

[mef1975]

I wonder, where can I find this video at its highest quality?

[mef1975]

FINALLY!!! It's been like a decade since I heard this, but forgot the name. NOW I GOT IT!

[chiapetmonsters]

I really want to smash the face of that guy "playing" the triangle.This song is so friggin cool,then,you add the trippy video and oh shit Man!! I came this close to a flash back trip altered time-line thing.Nice.

[videosamurai]

Haha!!! I never even noticed the triangle guy until now. He does need his face smashed. He looks like such a smug little bastid.

[MNWildfan72]

I would smoke that dude--one punch, maximum.

[verapamil07]

Bassline is awesome!

[eyesickle]

conga fool

[eyesickle]

why no thanks? CONGA!

[SBV123]

Thanks for conga, no thanks for fool. If you could tell me what show/movie that clip is from I'll give a super thanks though.

[SBV123]

Anybody know what Danny Kaye is shouting? Sounds like "Kunga!" but I'm not sure what that means

[Bwcaf1re]

Wow, this is probably my favorite EBN video I've seen on here yet. The whole thing is super trippy and the music for it is very dark but funky. might have to buy the whole collection.

[AceAudacious]

Anyone know the source of the bassline?

[gridplan]

I heard that bassline once on a jazz station years ago. I don't know which song it's from, but I'm pretty sure it's by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

[AceAudacious]

Thanks!!! I'll look

[gridplan]

Sorry, but I've got to back off my earlier claim about the bassist being from Art Blakey's group. I was thinking of the bassline from another song. :( As for this bassist, I don't see him credited anywhere on the EBN CD, Telecommunications Breakdown.

[sebron98]

wow.. ok, I feel bad now. The song is on a DJ Spooky mix album. the song is listed as EBN, I feel silly now. Great video tho.

[sebron98]

For the life of me I can't remember which album I have this on.. possibly Dieselboy but it isn't EBN.. great find on the video tho. I'd look harder.. but I think the cd is in my car. lol

[stefannelson]

peaple ( xabble especialy ) check out gang gang dance, retina riddum. The whole thing is incredible. Check out the clip on youtube

[Exdreamist]

I remember a friend bought the cd some years ago and we searched everywhere for some musicvideos..thanks!!

[InfinityPoint]

The CD is hybrid, put it in a computer and you'll find this and a few other vids on it, including Electronic Behavior Control System and Homicidal Schizophrenic.

[murcury]

Check out Coldcut, Double-D and Steinski, and Renegade Soundwave

[electrikmonk]

i thought i was the only person alive who knew Renegade Soundwave.. .

[murcury]

How about PWEI?

[wardrich]

I <3 Pop Will Eat Itself. Ich Bin Ein Auslander is a pretty solid tune by them

[electrikmonk]

saw them live w/Prick and NIN - one of the best shows ever.

[wardrich]

That makes 3 of us now :P

[dobbajenkins]

These guys were so ahead of their time - this is pretty old stuff. Jack Dangers and Meat Beat Manifesto were the influence for people like Chemical Brothers. Truly groundbreaking stuff.

[electrikmonk]

def! MBM was sampling Erik B and Rakim, Grandmaster Flash, etc. (current beats at the time) it was so long ago. i met jack dangers last year and it's funny to think that that cool little laid back, soft spoken, British guy is the influential god of samples and rhythm that changed the current face of music more profoundly than he will ever get credit for. MBM's stuff from the late '80's can still stand strong in any mix worth it's weight in megabytes.

[Compay77]

I can't believe how much video and film they must have watched to do this, not to mention the insane level of editing. This is really awesome.

[chiapetmonsters]

well said Xabbie2006!

The freakish kid out front really adds to it.

[xabbie2006x]

Funny that we are so much further along technologically, yet no one can come up with anything as hypnotizing as this.

[electrikmonk]

go check out a meat beat manifesto live show, that vids pretty mesmerizing, but it's all the same minds so it would only make sense.

[wardrich]

MBM are tied to EBN? I only found out about these guys today, but I've known about Meat Beat for like ever.

[electrikmonk]

yep, Jack Dangers helped produce the album and definitely influenced the music - i should have asked him more about it when i met him.

[anim8er2]

I think this is their best piece. Brilliant.

[analogfunctions]

ahh the lovely days of mtv's AMP

[milo345]

top stuff take me back to the happy daze lol

[extremewords]

Out-standing!

[taschenrechner]

Hell yes. I remember these guys. Some seriously cool shit.

[p1a6u3]

Aaaaahahahahaaaa! Fuck yeah! I haven't seen this in like 3 yrs! Ah the good ol' days of heavy LSD use. Good times, good times.
