The second release in the series of Guru Josh’s cyberdelic VHSes.
A visual effects music video in glorious 60 fps. Animation by Amitai Angor.
Music and video production from the late Guru Josh.
In his own words:
I thought, why not mix computer graphics to music and sell them as a visual album. There was no market. Woolworth’s and HMV said if you sell 2 thousand that’s good. Visual videos do not sell.
Despite no market I believed this was the next big thing and put my money, over 150 grand into digital video equipment, computers. I took 15 unemployed computer kids on the street, converted the 2nd and third floor of a building into visual design studios and spent the next 9 Months creating a 50 min video called Dr devious and the Wisemen, VR Dance in cyberspace, I was DR Devious but no one knew, the only hint was the company, GJ productions.
That video sold 220,000 copies and set a world trend. Dr Devious was the coolest character in the world, and no one knew who he was.
Directed by Vladimir Pekar in The Soviet Union. Some really nice trance dance moments in this and all around great character designs.
This is a visualization of the societal near-death experience that was triggered in Japan by the 2011 earthquake.
Psychedelic crustaceans and moths plague the snowboarding protagonist in this game with a 1980s retro vibe.
