Crazy 1990’s XMIX Videos

There is something I love about these crazy 1990’s XMIX videos. For some reason I have it in my head that MTV used to be good for a time and I remember staying up to watch videos like these at 3 in the morning and thinking they where incredibly cool.

I have this theory that music is like a special kind of language one that sort of prepares our collective unconscious for the mind of the future. This theory is not just limited to techno it applies to all music. I guess it comes from the experience that people enjoy music together without neccesarily having to share a language and so music touches upon something that is common to us all. We can also learn alot very quickly about other cultures values through music. Im not sure what techno would say about us to an alien civilization though. I dont listen to techno much these days but in a way we could think of it as preparing the mind for the emergence of todays technologically oriented society. I picked up these XMIX videos of Laurent Garnier and Dave Angel on VHS in an Oxfam second hand shop a few years ago. God knows where Ive put them but amazingly I found them on youtube. A lot of people I know would not be into this kind of music and in the end all I can say to that is, you werent there man, but um neither was I, well I was a bit of a late comer.
