Simian Mobile Disco Synthesise

[thednipdnip]

This has to be my favourite music video ever. No doubt about it.

[donmiguelj]

Just gave myself epilepsy.

[feedyerhead]

for those of you who do not appreciate the vocals...it is from a todd rundgren track. he's brilliant.

[Hugo411]

This video can also  be used for Optometry Examinations.

[rntwqvd]

turn the bass louder as you can and fck the vocals

[dapurp7]

fucking amazing

[shaunweather]

I really need to get some massive speakers for songs like these :)

[NorthSea0il]

@shaunweather d-_-b FTW

[TehRealCanadarocker]

I lol'd at the description, "!WARNING THIS VIDEO CONTAINS FLASHING IMAGES!" If you're listening listening to EDM and have epilepsy you are so fucked

[coNOCNYMAREK]

MEGA COSMOS!!!!!!!

[Yorgan01]

BOK BOK!

[unutilized]

I actually love the vocals

[saturncordate]

VOCALS GTFO

[ClintHunt]

Have they or David Vangel done an Arctic Monkeys remix...thought I heard that on the BBC.

[Apoc897]

THIS VIDEO CONTAINS STEPPING.

[sergiotecch]

Copadisimo, que grosos son !!!

[acarroz8]

more of this...great video saw smd last night they tore nyc apart my head is still spinning

[edward3179]

Plain and simple... They like the vocals (I like the vocals), hence the vocals... IF you don't like it, write your own music and refrain from using similar vocals.

[BoilMyKettle]

Fucking tiniest frog ever. This'll be a good one to spam on shit. Well not now coz I just ruined it by saying that. Actually will probably still work anyway. Probably better. Na. Changed my mind. Ruined.

[dopecookiedk]

Damn, smacked this up at my 37" and watched through the whole video blinking 2-3 times My brain fucked up.

[utopianmindset]

Do you people realize SMD is graced with being allowed to use a sample of Todd Rundgren? They're on two different levels completely.

[KidCult]

not enough people get this. haven't you heard of acid? rave? house? garage? it's all making a return slowly but surely. the Night Slugs label, the Hyper Dub label and countless other underground labels are all moving in the same way.

I LOVE THE VOCALS. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

[Fleisherin]

The album version is worth :/ Why it's not this one?

[69michmich]

spingono!!!

[garage2dubstep]

bin those fucking vocals - other than that its a nang tune

[EvilHorseProductions]

The fx on the vocals make them worthy of this song. I like them, acutally, I WAS BOOOORN TO SYNTHESIIISE

[pizzaschachtel]

I'm a singer and that ist why I always focus on vocals. So I don't mind having this in it. :) I like it. My two cents.

[mhstzi666]

I kinda like the vocals but the truth is they don't fit here..

[MINAMINETTE1]

quel domage la voix....sacré bon son sinon



[luligoy]

What a TUNE

[X6herbius]

Also, I did hate this song before I heard it on YouTube, because the vocals really did put me off.

[X6herbius]

SMD make such ingenious and amazing use of light. They are truly unique in that respect, for me.

[hotbabehempful]

i like the vocals....lol

[kraftwinder]

//Usaram um sample de uma música do Todd Rundgreen, fiz isso tambem rs.

[jonpo123]

thats a pretty sick visual :)

[Roshan3L]

SMD creates a Electro track no other artist can create....i mean by saying they have a own style ffs learn it !!!!!

[phaelinx]

SICK job : )

[TasteTheBase]

seeing them this year . d[**]b hell yes!

[bovillsans]

this different to the album version. the album version kicks this versions arse. deeper harder sounds baby.

[Dvnoid]

can you guys hear how godly clear their sounds are? ive never heard something like that, it makes click in your ears.

[jaguarbiue]

my roomates are mad at me for singing this song too much!!! i was booooooooooooooooornoooooooooo­oooo to synthesise !!!!! wow amazing

[RobZillanator]

SMD sure like giving people seizures :)

[k190freak]

intoxicating

[Konstantin123123]

on my cd is a other version of the song :/

[choocken]

@Konstantin123123 i think it says this is a live version... i guess they changed it a bit

[RedDress]

yer i like this version mrore

[toddthedrysocket]

In the "more info" box you should credit Todd Rundgren "I was born to synthesize"

[vladetd]

love the videosssssssssss SMD RULEZZZ

[MrZuur]

Awesome video! Second time I turned off the lights and didn't watch the screen, but just the ceilings.

Awesome!

I had my own light show, just from a Macbook Air!!!

[theanderson420]

saw them on my last birthday up in vancouver. Dope live experience.

[bawsaq]

pills pills pills

[emptyslicepeace]

FUK YES!

[stocktown1]

saw these guys on my bday last year in Chicago. Fuckin awesome.

[barbuniya]

they are on crack all the time ?

[inkykat]

album = amazing.

soooo good live as well.

[Bracs111]

yep saw them the last time they came to MTL it was real epic like,, oh and the colors aswell

[personaljesus99]

this is a classic at the gay bars :-)

[loved4onetimeonly]

Love lOve it .. Why didnt i find out about SMD sooner, this track is amazing!!

[spiritooalized]

Vocals suck.... I agree. Are they trying to sound like booka shade or what? (Please don`t learn from "Planetary")

[CorkeyFord]

The album "Temporary Pleasure" was a huge let-down (ruined by crappy vocals), but this track is killer...

[Godskitchen06]

@CorkeyFord Well thats your opinion. I think the album is fucking awesome...

[CorkeyFord]

I'm glad you enjoyed the album, I just thought the vocals were annoying and ruined otherwise great songs...

[TomUK85]

@CorkeyFord nail on head - except for Audacity (who's vocals were perfect) .. maybe beth ditto's vocals were cool but instrumental version would be v cool as a B side

[CorkeyFord]

Yeah well, I guess I just prefer electronic music to be instrumental. But you're right, there were exceptions, "Audacity" being one of them...

[CorkeyFord]

Actually, the album (that's the vocal-tracks only, I liked the rest already) has begun to grow on me, and especially "Off The Map" has become a personal favourite.

[wattapassa]

@CorkeyFord well i think it was more or a "does what it says on the tin" kinda thing.

[CorkeyFord]

@wattapassa I'm not entirely sure I know what that means...

[wattapassa]

@CorkeyFord well the album is called "temporary pleasure" right? and it wasnt more than just a temporary pleasure. i liked it a bit, but now most of the album just bores me, mostly because of the vocals.

[CorkeyFord]

@wattapassa Ahh, that's pretty clever:)

[KPismyname]

@CorkeyFord Dude, I thought the same thing at first, but if you listen a few more times, I think you'll realize the album is brilliant.

[hoekstrat]

2:51 is fucking scary

[Spectre1995]

@CorkeyFord

Audacity of Huge had vocals and I liked it.

[val7117]

very nice

[HAGARCH]

Yeah!!!!

[OrangeSuicide]

that vocals are from the song "BORN TO SYNTHESISE" by TODD RUNDGREN!

[drelobefio]

I am totally  fucking loving this!

[borowik11]

yyyeeeaaahhhhhhhhhh

[Quackinator12Guage]

So much better than the album version, where can I get this version?

[DjBigRed1000]

This is Synthesise (No Voodoo Version) available on the Synthesise single.

[Scoregazum]

wtf video isnt playin

[crazywisdom]

It won't play in normal mode, but It does play in HD.

[ASGeusaMarcel]

i love this sound

[roller237]

this is so bad ass but i think the voice sample gets annoying really quick. go ahead... everyone talk shit now =p

[jojobean19919999]

SMD is my hero !

[MITAN08]

Love SMD

[Benjani7]

Todd's become a bit of an electro cult aint he? First Hot Chip, now SMD have sampled the old fella.

[Gamebytes]

Great beat!

[elgordo007]

Where's the vocal sample from?

[utopianmindset]

It's Todd Rundgren, from his song "Born To Synthesize"

[DancingEar08]

INFECTIOUS!

[tarikhk]

Kate u r a simply a genius! luv it

[Id3ntit1]

Awesome

[Montanolxr]

[katemoross]

Yes! On Beatport, it's called "Synthesise (No Voodoo Version). It's my favorite too.

[HellsYeahJake2]

Thanks for the info!

[KDSMR2]

Anyone know how I can get a hold of THIS version of the song? I like this much better than the album version

[HellsYeahJake2]

I agree. Why'd they change it? I'd be interested in downloading this version.

[wowtest14]

download with anyvideo converter

[1986wader]

Great Video and Album.......:)

[kinzilla]

Yo! Can anyone tell if this is at Area 10 in Peckham? Surely not?

Thanks, Nic

[Voolksorf]

[amygunn123]

[RandomnessTube]

nice tune

[dolphinio55]

Love it, but album version sucks

[Booloche33]

Fat synth here ! Reminds me of Inner City's Big fun :)

[Cerrieify]

Saw Kate Moross speak at Semi-Permanent '09 (NZ) this weekend. 'Inspirational' is a term she doesn't like to use but she is infact inspirational...She used a warehouse for the SMD video and some very basic software for the animation, big effort though by all accounts. Phenominal philosophy w.r.t. design too...

[vjjim]

Is there any more infomation about how this was put together? was it controled by VDMX or something like that, and generated or sequenced in something like resolume, Also how big is the surface is it out door? some photos of the location would be great to get an idea, amazingly effective, possibly one of the best AV performances I have ever seen. so simple yet so effective, WOW!!!!!!!!

[drln1]

the dot animations were created in Flash and then projected on a wall and filmed. the video was then edited in Ableton and made to be in time with the music. voila!

[TooLegitVolz]

The album version is different, it's nowhere near as good as this.

[dizzwizzle]

that was great

[obriensimo]

siecotic

[i2ivis]

The vocals come from Todd Rundgren's 1975 record Born to Synthesize.

[georgekane666]

instrumental all the way

[Hattie89]

Love this song, but not liking the vocals. They take attention away frrom the tune.

Q COPADO

[20191]

I dont get it, why HD?

[BluPsMuPs]

because of the sound?! *dance*

[TheStyleCrusader]

you are an idiot if you can't see the difference.

[20191]

I think that has more to do with my eye sight than the level of idiocy.

Maybe it's just me.

WHOS DA IDIOT NOW, BITCH.

lol, I just kinda felt like yelling, sorry.

I still don't get it. It's not like this video is superb in HD quality.. It's just me I guess. The sound IS better though.

[georgekane666]
