Star Guitar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Star Guitar was the second single from The Chemical Brothers 2002 album Come with Us. The music video, directed by Michel Gondry, features a continuous journey seen from a train window in which the disposition of each passing element of the landscape is positioned in sync with the music.

There is noticeable similarity in concept between this video and Daft Punk's "Around the World", also directed by Gondry. In the latter video, each musical element is representend by a dancer; here it is a part of the scenery. The video is based on DV footage Gondry shot while on vacation in France. They shot the train ride 10 different times during the day to get different light gradients.

The song reached #8 in the UK charts.
