After some discussion of great music videos this past weekend, I think I'm convinced that the video for The Chemical Brothers' "Star Guitar" is one of the best videos I've seen. The concept is pretty simple - a train's travelling across the countryside, and all the scenery out the window syncs up with the song. The idea of music visualization isn't really groundbreaking, but what's really impressive is the seamlessness with which it's pulled off. It's smooth enough to make you think that the train just happens to be passing a bridge every four beats. From now on, I think our urban planners and architects should only design landscapes that sync up with techno songs.
The YouTube version above is pretty low-res, but it gets the point across. This Google Video version is a bit crisper.
