Squarepusher - Come On My Selector (Official Video)

I like how the actors onscreen are clearly speaking English and were dubbed in Japanese later for the sole purpose of being subtitled.

I've seen this video about two dozen times over a decade now, this is the first time of me knowing this, because of you. Thanks for making me feel like the biggest dumb ass in the world. Next your going to tell me, that Santa was actually real the whole time.😒

[@chikenfrye5071]

The only music video in the world, where sub and dub became one.

[@NotSoMax]

Fun fact, until just recently, I’d been searching for this video for nearly 2 decades. I saw it once as a child on a crappy CRT and would very occasionally remember it and try to search for it but could never find it. Convinced it existed I continued searching only to have the journey finally come to a lead thanks to 3seconds of video (not from this video) and the mention of Chris Cunningham in a video about claymation horror. From there I just searched through every video he directed until I finally found this one, knowing that what I remembered match the artistic style of that director. In hindsight, I think a lot of my artistic tastes were established and informed, at least in some way, by this one odd video I’d only ever seen once.

[@calistnway]

Did you by any chance see it on that old music video request cable channel The Box on Halloween? That’s the only place I’ve ever seen it outside of KZbin.

[@ShadowbannedSounds]

Big Loada was my very first Squarepusher album, and let's just say this first track made an immediate impression.... in addition "A Journey To Reedham (7am Mix), Massif (Stay Strong), and Port Rhombus are absolutely incredible tracks.
