"We were impressed with the amount of work everyone put into this
 
competition and ended up picking three favourites rather than one.
 
there were quite a few great films submitted, some using using lovely
 
super8 filmclips and some very nice fuzzy video. i know it's a cliche
 
to say it was difficult to choose a winner, but it was. so in the end
 
we figured the john-carpenter-tachyon-video-esque "corsair" clip by
 
magnus hedberg was nicely done, especially with the additional sounds.
 
next up was the norman mclaren-ish abstract clip that (anon?) made for
 
"june 9th", which upon close inspection reveals nice little
 
synchronisations to the different melody parts in our track. and
 
finally the overall winner is the brilliant day-glo "gyroscope" clip
 
by billy clayton, which has just the right lysergic qabala sesame
 
street feel to it. great stuff.
 
 
[-SNIP-]
 
 
well done to everyone who entered the competition and thanks for
 
putting so much work in. and thanks for listening so closely...
 
 
keep up the Wo God Rok.... mike sandison"
