I'm not worthy to be mentioned in same breath as yourself or the mighty TopCatsRepublic, having posted nothing truly original/creative to date, but thanks. Glad you let this great concept of yours see the light again. I like the opening extract from 'The Wizard'; that you're foregrounding 'ISAL' over the L2B railway noise this time; and that you use the whole heartbreaking song. The surreally accelerated footage (to BFL's home town Brighton!) matches the song's nightmarishly frenetic crescendo.

I've seen a (glorious) light, coming through the (you) tube. Dunno how you managed to get it there and keep it there, but well done mate.
