Squarepusher - Come on my Selector (Directed & Edited by Chris Cunningham)
Like a lot of Cunningham's work the use of editing really sets his stuff apart from others. Usually partnered heavily with music, he manages to bring to life the non-dietetic sounds and turn them into an integral part of his films. Obviously being the official music video its was important the piece be relevant to the soundtrack, however whats inspiring is the way that the images match up so perfectly and arguably artistically with the sounds.
All his work, be it in partnership (as it often is) with Aphex Twin or Bjork, he always seems to be able to capture the essence of the song in his films, a feat that your average 'chart song' video desperately lacks.
