I wanted to disagree that VIRTUAL INSANITY does not sound, and video does not look like the 90s. It's the mid-90s, and if you listened to the young artists of that time like him, that is exactly how new music sounds like in the 90s. It's an era where the 20th century is about to end, and the 21st century is about to come. There were a lot of really cool music and videos from that time if you dig into it deeply. So nope, it isn't ahead of It's time.... it's the music of its time. As an older millennial, I've witnessed how music got stuck and sounded like the music from 20 to 30 years ago. And there are a lot of blues and funk in this music, something that's common from the 50s to 70s. It is the music of its time. It's just hard to tell music apart these days - nothing novel is coming out. I was 10 when this came out and loved it as I still do. Jamiroquai was on my playlist in my college days. I love him!

I’ve always loved the irony of the video being achieved with a simple illusion, rather than CGI or high tech trickery, given the track name. Virtual Insanity, practical effects.
@sleepingkirby
@sleepingkirby 8 ай бұрын
My first job was actually working as PA for a CGI department. Everyone in the department was very pro practical effects. The great thing about working in animation was that nothing mattered expect how good it looked. It doesn't matter if you've spent 30k on modeling and animating a prop or spending 15 dollars on painting a prop and tossing it in the air. If it look good, it works. With that said, while Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was praised for its CG, a lot/most of the far away backgrounds were actually paintings. Like, someone hand painted it on a giant canvas. It looked so good, most people don't realize it wasn't CG. Again, nothing mattered except how good it looked.

​​@@sleepingkirby Matte painting is well known & used on both CGI & non CGI efx. Any digital efx studio would have digital matte painters working all the time esp. in smaller studios where they often also have to be texture artists at the same time. So yes FF used matte paintings as background, its not all high res 3d models - that wold be too taxing for the render farms & budget$, yet theyre all digitally painted using digital painting/photo editor + 3d softwares done usually on a Cintiq. So still CGI.

My friend and I would go to Borders Books and Music and listen to all of the "This is Acid Jazz" compilations because of Jamiroquai. Found a lot of incredible stuff because of them. Still one of my favorites today.

My band’s guitarist and I were trying to wrap our minds around what it even compared to and could only come up with Stevie Wonder. I think the fact that this song feels timeless is that it really didn’t fit into the era it was written, so it’s hard to listen to it now and really hear it as fitting into the mid 90s.

It extends from Dōjima to the area near Nuchayamachi in Umeda in the north and westwards to Nishi-Umeda. Some places in Namba 4.5km south extend down two floors and it's almost as big as Whity Umeda. These areas are cool in the oppressive heat of summer and warm in cooler months.

Back in around 1994 I was seeing a girl who was mad about Jay and she had approached him in the street and asked him about what he was listening to on his walkman and he just gave her the tape. I remember listening to that tape and it was a side long loop (I guess he just looped stuff so he could work on lyrics)... Have not heard it since then but I think it was something more disco-ish which might have appeared on an album post Space Cowboy...

It is interesting to learn that the walls shaking was unintended. I thought that was done on purpose, sort of like a nod to the mental walls Pink builds for himself in Pink Floyds The Wall. I thought the shaking was meant to imply the natural world trying to break through the walls built for us in the Virtual Insanity world.

This song predicted a future where we would be more in Virtual Reality instead of where we started when we were born. We would fall into endless loop of being dependent on technology and out and back in again. at most, it's truly a Virtual Insanity that we have grown this dependent on technology. But to be fair, we're doing out best and haven't completely fallen. The moment the power goes out, we go outside. The moment our internet goes off, we go outside. or take a nap or sleep cuz we've been lacking it. It just somehow worked. Regardless the song was a prediction in and of itself and either way, it's alright now.

The line "now there is no sound, for we all live underground" was the one lyric in this song i could never fully parse the meaning of, so learning that it's actually a reference to the thing that was the initial inspiration for the song is really cool.

I’ve heard that the inspiration didn’t come from Sendai but Sapporo instead because Sendai doesn’t have a large underground shopping mall that connects three subway stations like in Sapporo.

Definitely one of the best videos ever made. Its so different from everything. When I see it now I expect the MTV program proceed afterwards. Took me a while to get my head around, how they did it. Also fantastic song. Been in my playlist since then (when I was 13-14)

仙台に地下街はありません。札幌が正しいです。 何年か前の札幌公演で 街に出たけど誰も外を歩いていなかった 一体みんなどこにいったのか 近くの老婦人に尋ねたんだ そしたら案内するからって どんどん階段を下りていって なんと地下に街があった! その時の印象をホテルの部屋でまとめてみたのが 皆が知ってるこの曲なんだ [1999年東京ドーム公演「Virtual Insanity」曲前の発言より]

6:13 - Also in the video around the 1:17 mark the chair on the right attached to the wall shifts a bit from making contact with the floor I assume; I always wondered about this but knowing how the effect was achieved it's so obvious.

It’s such a stand alone piece of music. It’s kind of an if you weren’t there at the time and experienced in the time it won’t hit the same. This was the best part of music videos in the 90’s. No speciAL FX. Just creative ingenuity and passion for the music.

As a poor university student in the early 1990s in North Texas they were huge with us. When they played Carsvan of Dreams in Fort Worth they drew a huge crowd, and I got lucky and was allowed in by a sympathetic door man who let me in! Great show, great band!

All of the walls are suspended 1 cm above the floor, and are all held together as one piece. Take a water glass, turn it upside down and slide it across the table. Same principle. The crucial bit however: the camera is also moving along with the walls. Illusion complete.
