Edouard Salier made the blackly shimmering music video for Bristol trip-hoppers Massive Attack’s “Splitting the Atom” single. It was a beautifully rendered piece which Edouard says captured “The fixed moment of the catastrophe. The instant the atom bursts on the beast, the world freezes into a vitrified chaos. And we go through the slick and glistening disaster of a humanity in distress. Man or beast? The responsibility of this chaos is still to be determined.” Well, he’s now made a prequel to that video, again for Massive Attack, for their single “Atlas Air,” again from the album Heligoland. We’re before that “fixed moment of catastrophe,” a prelude to the apocalypse where there are plenty of planes, explosions, tanks, and a giant evil bunny in a CGI visual banquet which supposedly explores the grim subject of rendition flights. Watch it above and check out “Splitting the Atom” below.
