Somebody else mixed the song "Illusion" by VNV Nation with the video "Doll Face" by Andy Huang and uploaded it to YouTube over one year ago.
It is now approaching the 900,000 views mark.
I uploaded the video under my account (kind of a dupe), just to make sure that it is there and not getting lost. The two seem to be made for each other and fit perfect.
Although it is not one of my favorite VNV Nation songs, I cannot deny that it touched me nevertheless.
Another interesting part about this video is that it got the attention by Ronan Harris from VNV Nation himself, who did not pull the video, because of copyright infringement and tried to get in contact with the animation creator Andy Huang from Los Angeles, California instead.
They met in October 2008 and plan to work on some new projects together in the future. This video, although not officially a VNV music video was silently acknowledged and approved, used now for viral marketing on the Internet. It contains credits for the creators after all.
Ronan Harris, "Mr.VNV Nation" also wrote about this video at his MySpace blog earlier this month.
The song "Illusion" was not released as a single and is only available on the 2007 VNV Nation album "Judgement" (track number 8), published in the United States by Metropolis Records.
To learn more about VNV Nation and get information about where you can buy the Judgement album, visit their official web site at http://www.vnvnation.com/ or their MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/vnvnation, which is maintained by Ronan Harris personally.
The video is also available for download in .AVI format (XVID, Lame MP3) via Mediafire.com at http://www.mediafire.com/?z4nlmgmty5t

I just re-watched this, and I must say, it's still one of the most moving combinations of video and music I've ever seen. Definitely one for the history books.
