THE ALIENS MAGIC MAN

[ek3s]

Nice White's Merlin reference.

[genebyegene]

okay, i cannot get enough of this song & video!!! just found out about them by reading The Beta Band wikipedia randomly yesterday and i must say they're WAY better than that band ever was... So SO good, mmm mmm mmm :)

[anaselhaouat]

I grinned at the eighteenth second

[MagicMan5113]

who called me??

[KMSsisters]

Thumbs up if KT sent you here. :D

[mnaran]

I'm amazed at how this whole video was conceived, directed and shot to run entirely in reverse! Oh, yeah, the song rocks, too!

[lordbesty]

What an absolutely mentally excellent video. I never get bored of watching it. So much going on. I wonder how many takes it took to get it right. Superb.

[maclennan73]

I REALLY liked the first album and then ashamedly missed Luna.........I'm only glad that I've now realised my gross oversight.......this, really, is all I need!.....

and why not make a brilliant accompaniment video, that beautifully illustrates their deep knowledge, enjoyment and appreciation of music.....past, present and future!

I'm waiting eagerly for a new album and tour.

[kwgrid]

Kewl!

[Greggo2]

Bought the CD of "Astronomy For Dogs" in 2007.

Liked it ok, and didn't really think much about The Aliens since.

Today I stumbled upon this song and video. Whenever I hear an awesome song (and I hear a lot: I own a record store), I always wonder when it will be that I'll hear another equally awesome song.

Monday July 19, 2010 is a great day. Thanks Gordon et al.

[Seabearr]

Looks like a pretty good day to me

[mrcircle]

This narrowly beats The Pharcyde - Drop as my favorite reverse footage video.

[MiddleManagement]

GIGANTIC!

[kevsickboy]

i would love to be in this band! fucking wonderful.

[sickayda]

Dude, thats funny!

[safetyking]

Great band really friendly,

have Live images of them from Lounge on thefarm,

get in touch for more info :) keep on rocking

[JUSTING101]

i saw the aliens at lounge at the farm the other week they were amazing but my ears still hurt tho

[rgrant1993]

omg you guys are going to make it i dont know how im going to compete against that!!cen you message me what program you used for that video? check out my videos!

[Waxthumper]

The Program is John Maclean is a genius.

[ljohn43699]

brilliant

[DJEDDX]

cool vid

[Aussie41556]

basically only three cuts for the whole video. very impressive

[TheSnurgle]

I wasn't sure with Astronomy For Dogs, but Luna is a great album, equal to, or maybe even better than anything The Beta Band did.

[kevsickboy]

the aliens should be fucking huge.

[ABL36]

@kevsickboy apparetnly not in this justin beiber and taylor swift shit singing world. It's all about depressing music now a days. its too bad too

[haydenhamilton3]

@kevsickboy agreed!

[backinstrachan]

The Aliens are just phenomenal. Easily the best ever. Truly beautiful music. The Beatles would be proud of their two albums. I think Luna edges it for me because of 2 reasons. Bobbys Song and Billy Jack. They werent allowed this sort of freedom under their last label. I am so glad I found this band and now that I am past the 'I cant believe this band arent more well know considering the shit in the charts' stage I can appreciate them even more.

If God made a band he would call them The Aliens.

[ruth1488]

agree with you totally mucka,oh yes!!!

[bgjbsbgbsgb]

The aliens have great videoos! :)

[baikcinema]

grandioso

[johnsweatpants]

I am addicted to this song and I think I have a problem. I just watched this video 5 times in a row. I had to order the damn import off of Amazon because it's not available in the US yet. Infuriating! I was devastated when the Beta Band split. In my opinion Astronomy of Dogs was very good but still couldn't compare. However if this magnificent song is any indication of the new album then etc.

[Chromebaby]

Saw this at BUG 10 The Director's Cut. The video is staggering genius and the tune is awesome! Just fantastic.

[goddogcattac696]

Genius+Genius+Genius=Aliens^

[ruth1488]

just been to see oasis..and just thought how much i'd rather be watchin this lot instead!swansea.for real!

[ruth1488]

top album this!one of the best i've heard in a while!

[fluffycatluv]

I LOVE this video!!! The Aliens rule! :-D

[fluffycatluv]

I love the Aliens, and this is a great video!!! :) Keep up the great work boys!!! :)

[williamelmore]

this truly is an amazing album just as their first album was too, loving the song blue mantle off of luna.

the aliens are a quality band!!

[GOON7ER]

"Bake me a cake, and I'll do a handstand!"

Surely the best lyric of 2008?!?!?

[TehSalohan]

Just think of how hard that must have been to shoot backwards

[StrewnAsunder]

great vid sleeping bag is AMAZING and so simple, a lot of the best ideas are :) and the song is brilliant too! woo

[superreverb68]

Beta Band - missing you.

The Aliens - cool too.

[jonahstevenson]

i wish i was them

[2808vikkenny]

I CONCUR!!!!

[emiliolio]

[MissPollyPineapple]

[2808vikkenny]

Hope you have checked out the beta band?!!

[leandropota]

Very nice... não conhecia esta banda, o som é incrível, o vídeo é bom, mas não é surpreendente...

[yanndick]

Amazing video !

[radoskor999]

good stuff buddy:)

[Pwnedanime]

its called consumer sheep syndrom, One person goes and buys a song thinks its good and so as to not look uncool there friends all start to agree until we have a popular band that is infact crap but at the top of the charts :/ classic example : THE STREETS.

[duncabbin]

The Streets, pile of willy cheese.

However, The Aliens are class, groundbreaking.

[allusernamesgone]

Great song and video - guess I have to import yet another The Aliens album to Denmark.. ..the danish minister of trade wouldn't be happy! ;-)

[jasonspurs]

met robin jonesfter the gig in brixton when he was in the beta band nice fella

[jasonspurs]

[ImNickyImWetAgain]

its like its filmed backwards going forwards to get the effects

[jadeeslayton]

[goddogcattac696]

[RockFerryRogue]

Soooper-fucking-Dooper...Top tune and the vid is faaaaaar out there!!... oh yes The Aliens are one in a million.... See yous in Da Pool lads.....

[downfader2]

This reminds me of early Oasis and a load of The Beatles stuff. Extremely cool!

[666TrueLoveIsSuicide]

[RadioBazterd]

Brilliant stuff!!

[jonahstevenson]

video a bit like drop by the pharcyde, only better even

[Dixie1947]

This was good.

[goddogcattac696]

Absolute brilliance of a video that reminds me of something off the magical mystery tour Beatles movie. Im trying to work out how they did the various reversing bits.

[kattdrer]

VideosEnjoy for comdey videos !

[cambodianxlemonxtree]

[CaineI]

Wow, awesome

[rejevski]

I like it!

[StrewnAsunder]

there something amazing about people moving backwards, transfixing as said below, love the effects i think the sleeping bag bit was one of the best, and on the third paper screen they jumped through, the yellow one, i thinm i spotted the japanese fror moon, or month or luna as it is written on the screen, sorry boring i know, illl shut up :P also very boosh-esque :D loved it!

[MikeHuntagape]

one of the best music videos i've seen in quite a while. I was transfixed!!

[austinsideburns]

that made me smile out loud!

[shadowoftheday65]
