I liked t h at one but then for a while
that type of music would drive me nutty, I used to live with some of those stoner, drinker, techno Amsterdam crowd... I started to dislike it all...but kind of liked it again after being away...there is something about the chords or harmony, I like it was the loop I disliked or the lack of groove but they did very good 'mixes'
I think they were taking from Hindi ritual and Native American which is why its also some of it called 'Trance'
Depeche Mode, Prodigy, Daft Punk...its wasn't just about stims, these guys knew about music and were doing a new kind of art, Moby and Josh Wink were good but maybe not as established, Kraftwerk I think was the original 'hits' but it sounds kinda bad today, the samples 8-bit or something very gameboy video game like

Yeah... I kind of miss that era of music and/or my life. It's not a big surprise why it didn't catch on for super long in the US while it's still going strong to this day elsewhere in the world, but I'm surprised it kind of seemed to just die overnight considering how big it had gotten around the late 90's and early 2000's. Maybe 9/11 had something to do with the shift in tone?
For some reason when you said 8-bit along with all of this, it made me think of a music video I'd seen only one time late at night on either MTV or VH1 and thought it was pretty freakin' cool. I'd told my brother about it a few times over the years, but never knew what it was until I finally found it on Youtube and showed it to him, without having watched it again myself.
Kind of wished I'd watched it again myself first. It was kind of an uncomfortable watch around 12 years after the first and only time I'd seen it.
Not sure if I didn't pick up the strange vibes it puts off the first time around back in the late 90's or very early 2000's because I was high and/or drunk while I watched it back then, or if that was just a more innocent time and I didn't infer and attribute any weird vibes onto it.
I dunno man. Everybody just accepted that Marty McFly, a high school kid, hung out with the crackpot inventor who wasn't related to him. Pretty certain that when they make that terrible Back to the Future remake that they're going to explain away that relationship with at least a loose family tie. (No pun intended).
What do you think?
ETA: Lol... I just did it again. Boy. I can't even imagine how this got put on MTV or VH1 at all, even late at night back then. I'd have expected it to have gone virtually unnoticed on MTV in the last 10 years even if it was played every day in the middle of the afternoon, but I think parents would have been lined up with pitchforks if they saw it back then.
Don't watch it, unless you're looking to be creeped out.

New sounds
...a lot of silly crap fun sounds trying to get into Orchestra
my guess is that is something from Asia the East that will make the cut, maybe Stringed, Chinese Chime Bells, Tsuzumi or Vietnamese drum or more probably Asian 'Strings'
a modified Guzheng, Koto, Pipa, Biwa a Chinese, Japanese, Thai or SKorea instrument

Yeah watched it, I remember seeing it or also hearing much of it...probably flicked the channel back then, too many flashing lights or discording colors
Wouldn't have been a music vid I would have watched back in the day
very interesting to watch it again, a lot of weird innuendo and that Fox Rat Squirrel looking thing is a psycho

Alicia Keys
I see Japanese and Chinese kids play hundreds of times better than her
terrible musician, I'm actually amazed how stupid the public can be thinking she actually plays piano
at the age of four the bullshit gossip magazines they say Keys was a 'genius' appeared on The Cosby Show as Maria, one of Rudy's slumber-party friends
William Henry Cosby Jr has since been exposed as a sex fiend, many 'Sexual Assault' cases
they say she's a street kid trained, maybe a regular child trained in Classical and some world folk music and American blues piano vamp should easily out player her
probably sold her ass on the Weinstein casting couch
they say she is 'Classically Trained' but that 'Level' I never heard it in never music
she married a tone-deaf Rapper so I would question how she hears tone and harmony, or maybe she just married for money or animalistic copulation

— Alicia Keys accepting the Global Impact Award at the GRAMMYs
She had absolutely no impact on me, I only remember being somewhat annoyed by her 'music'
I remember hearing some of it having some kind of harmony or being in tune maybe her doing a vocal with a drum bass loop backing track, there was maybe something about Falling or Girlfriends or Africa a Peter Gabrielle Song originally with Kate Bush but now 'Bono'? "Don't Give Up" maybe?
it sounded typical "Plastic Pop" Love Song Drinking Smoking Song Boyfriend Girlfriend genre of R and B the so called "Popular Music" that lacks any real depth or merit...she moaned something about New York with a backing track but I do not believe I have ever listened to that song in full, or any of her songs in full, the sound just annoys me and I change the radio station although for a while it was always on the radio.
It's not her music, its all Pop in general that annoys me.
I think she's also a tv or movie 'actress' or something?
Would not be shocked to later discover she rents her ass like 'The Pussycat Dolls' although at least Alicia Keys has tried to sing and tried to learn piano
this style of 'pop' would not be my music at all
but anyways she wants to push DEI
Chinese and Japanese children playing covers live do a far better job than her
Piano or good piano has a place in pop and rock
Acoustic pianos play differently, they are primarily made of wood...not like your digital keyboard sound at all but I like Billy Joel and so what if its pop rock cliché because not all piano in Pop is terrible and some Rick Wakeman doing Bowie, The Beatles had nice harmony Jazz went new and fusion guys like Chick Corea on the scene, Chris Illingworth from Go Go Penguin proves British music is not dead? Tori Amos, Regina Spektor, Fiona Apple do have some challenging live stuff especially if you try copy it by ear, for those who like to play slow and expression. Slow expressive players who can't keep up, it can be hard to match the energy of Little Richard of pervert Jerry Lee Lewis, Jukebox The Ghost, Ben Folds Five, Toby Smith of Jamiroquai they can be a bit repetitive but rockin pop energy. 'Prince' would be there and he seemed to do a bit of everything on every instrument, Mike Oldfield another experimental multi instrument guy was a very skilled prog rock musician, Jethro Tull had interesting keyboardists over the years. The more sophisticated jazzy Esbjörn Svensson for modern sound but Nat King Cole had that swinging blues charleston era sound old school, Duke Ellington a top player band leader, Rick Wright's weird piano jams with Kenny Kirkland modern pop jazz but you can't deny the greatest of European Classical Composers, Marc Cohn for a mix of modern with a flavor of old gospel.

Born and raised on videogames, my brothers and I. If you put something video game where it normally wasn't found, I was there for it. Even in my late teens or early 20's when I would have caught that video the first time while I was channel surfing. It might not even have been MTV or VH1 that showed it. I never watched anything on either of those channels regularly... not even Jackass. I was never a huge music video watcher growing up and by that time MTV had already practically stopped showing them, and most of the crap they did show was even worse.
This is pretty interesting to me now though...
Why didn't anything in that video bother me in the slightest when I saw it back around 2000, but when I saw it a decade later with my brother I was cringing about halfway through?
And then just yesterday when I was talking about it I thought "I probably overreacted then and posted it again before watching it, and around 3/4 of the way in I was cringing so hard I didn't even finish it.
But then you say it's not so bad, and now I'm really wondering why it makes me cringe so hard today when I had good memories of the single time I saw it for so long.
It's strange how the brain works alongside of Time.
In any event, it's a fun song. Back from a time where I felt the music in general was just a lot more happy.
9/11 really fucked up the vibe forever.
