Thanks for watching. Good comment. This video was a promotion video from Philips. It also includes - non Compact Disc related - video fragments of Philips products used worldwide (such as the airport, and road cameras that Philips used to supply at that time). The pagoda is about landmark/building illumination in which Philips is still active, but now with energy efficient lighting such as LEDs.

That video was great, although I do feel they went a bit "arty-farty" towards the end. None the less, it works well as a promotional video (which is what it is) and helps to demonstrate how much of a breakthrough it was at the time for the music and hi-fi industries. Thank you for uploading it

Thanks for watching. Philips used to sponsor the Dire Straits at that time and was allowed to use the Dire Straits in their CD marketing activities. The arty-farty bits are actually taken from the original Dire Straits - Money for Nothing video clip (you know the 3D animated movers that fly into the TV set).
