john foxx / this city

Video sequence put together for one of my favourite Foxx tracks (originally a 1980 B side) using some 1960s colour films, one from some old footage about cafeterias in London in the 50s/60s and one of a colour test film by the BBC (I'll probably get lynched by the Beeb for using it). I sort of combined the two to make it look like a film was being made about the girl in the first cafeteria but then there seemed to be so many interesting characters in the film I sort of drifted a bit. I thought the overall feeling all suited the track anyway. I tried a bit of synchronising this time too, not always successful.

Thanks, kataka64....

Is it just me, or are these tracks timeless or just way ahead of their time?

Glad someone else noticed this stuff!

Davvero bello, la scelta delle immagini anni '50/'60 si sposa bene con la musica e la sincronizzazione è ugualmente molto buona
