As I mentioned once before on this list - there used to be a website that
had videos of techno artists but is no longer in operation.
It's too bad because they had Carl Craig's "Televised Green Smoke" video -
which was very cool.
I'd love to see some collection on DVD of Detroit techno/house videos past
and present.
With all the underground video makers and people like Michel Gondry and
such into cutting edge/underground music you'd think someone would be
approaching some techno heads to make videos. I don't mean some shaky
hand-held DV shot in a dark club but actual music videos with concepts and
higher production. Anyone remember the Inner City videos? If not check them
out on KMS's website.
I know - nowadays it takes major label money to make most videos but I
don't think this is entirely true anymore with the technology and talent
available
