"Splitting the Atom" already boasts a confronting bull-fighting video by long-time Massive Attack collaborator Baillie Walsh (he also shot Kylie's "Slow", and Spiritualized's "Come Together", fact gatherers).
Maybe it was too distressing for TV, or certain territories, because we now have a second video by French director, and graphics whiz, Edouard Salier who has toned things down considerably by making it about... er... a massive attack on a city by an unknown (until the end) enemy. So that's something we can all digest a little better over our brekkie, innit?
I think it's official, Salier is certainly legit (his recent Air and Rapheal Sadiq clips are below) but I can't be waiting around on boring facts, you need to see it immediately, even if it's criminally compressed and belongs on a big screen (thanks to P4k for the link)...
Air - "So Light Is Her Footfall" from Love 2, directed by Edouard Salier...
Raphael Saadiq - "Let's Take a Walk", directed by Edouard Salier...
