So ... I was on a David Lynch kick lately, and I happen to stumble across Industrial Symphony No.1 a video performance art piece, which includes many known hits from Twin Peaks the television series. The set looks like something out of the Bauhaus meets Francis Bacon with the symbolic feel of Jodorowsky's El Topo. Thematically it's about the tragic rational irrationality of heartbreak in which the visual symbolism shows all the components; love, loss, loneliness, boredom, hope ... etc ... but it goes deeper than that still, it also depicts the evils of internal malaise and what that could conjure into one's self; lust, need, confusion, anger, struggle ... etc. Musically you have a mix of Music Concrète with the lush 50's Doo Wop infused backdrop of Julee Cruise, whom I feel would have been great in a Shoegazer band. This video isn't for everyone, kinda a fan only thing ... but it's a wonderful example of human nature and the harm we can do to ourselves!
