adamski & seal – killer (1990)
Groundbreaking. What happens is, Seal is in a machine and gets brought to life by a Dr Frankenstein-like Adamski who then makes a fortune off of Seal’s wonderfully soulful voice and fucks off into obscurity. Or something like that.
Still, Adamski’s hat is so brilliant that I can forgive him. I can’t even imagine how mindblowing this video would’ve been in 1990. With the various spectacular visual effects, it must’ve been like sucking an acid covered Calippo whilst in the middle of the Burning Man festival, wearing a fur coat. And moon shoes. Wow.
Check out the dancing on a platform in the burning sky!
in a nutshell…
Got any salmon?
Medium-low. There’s a bit of dancing, but not by Seal, nor Adamski.
de l’Épée factor
Medium. There’s no killing in the video so points for not drawing that parallel, but there is a lot of getting a little.. crazy..
Dworkin-ism
High. Barely 10 seconds of a lady in the whole video.
You’re not alone..
Medium-high. Random effects and floating things everywhere. Like Human Resource or Perfecto Allstars.
Phenomenal list. The number one video has long been a favorite of mine. I wouldn’t change a single one. I especially like that you included Baby D.
Ya….Really they are really good videos..!
