Reasons why I like ambient music 8/10
Fading Glow Because there are so many options to listen music online, I have not much bought albums anymore. Last one I did bought as a CD, was Opalescent by Jon Hopkins. And because it has collected dust in the bookshelf, I had almost fogotten it. But lately I have rediscovered it thanks to SoundCloud and Deezer.

Jon Hopkins - Singularity from Khalid Mohtaseb on Vimeo.



And once again, such music gives food for the thought:

Open Eye Signal - Jon Hopkins from AOIFE MCARDLE on Vimeo.



Jon Hopkins - A Drifting Up from Christonia5 on Vimeo.

Coreography of the first video and music of the last one reminds me of this TV ad.

I saw it the first time in the TV commercial festival in NY and almost spilled my beans.
Music is an excerpt of Brian Eno's 1/1 Music for Airports.

I immediately recognized the Brian Eno's musical piece.

And what I bumped up to while seeking this video by Khalid Mohtaseb and associates, was also somewhat similar idea used on Fatboy Slim - Weapon Of Choice:

Rather unexpected start in this Jonze thing. :D Christopher Walken is not just this neurotic crook as his image would suggest. Perhaps he was a victim of his early role in The Deer Hunter.

Well the director Spike Jonze mentions Saturday Night Live as a source to choose Christopher Walken:

And hey, Christopher Walken has born to dance! =D

Oh, I didn't remember that he danced in The Deer Hunter, too.
And he can even tap dance! If I didn't live in a block of flats, I'd do that myself!
