MUSIC FROM SPACE: Massive Attack - KARMACOMA
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
This video is effective on a number of levels. First, Karmacoma is simply a great song, arguably Massive Attack's best. And the scenario of the video is genuinely chilling, with a terrified hitman lost in a hotel where surreal, supernatural badness seems to be happening in every room he passes. And it's also great fun for film geeks, offering the chance to play spot the cult movie reference. (Sure, you got the Shining homage, and maybe the Pulp Fiction stuff. But is the typist with the crazy hair supposed to be Barton Fink? Or Henry Nance from Eraserhead? (Note that the Amazon link pictured above is for the album Maxinquaye, featuring Tricky's version of the song.)
