Moscow Coup Attempt Videos

Moscow Coup Attempt combines brooding dark ambient music with Conet Project samples. Now the band has released videos for all their tracks on YouTube.

Looks like they've recycled old science training and historical films from the 1940s as the backdrop to the music. It's a pity the sound quality isn't super- all the videos on YouTube are heavily compressed, so you don't get the nuances of how the music works together with the Conet samples. Interesting to watch nonetheless.

I'm addicted to Conet Project & sometimes listen to the recordings at work, especially when I really need to focus on what I'm working on and block out the rest of the world. Unintended side effect is that my co-workers think I'm out of my mind (which I guess could have been predictable).

I first heard Moscow Coup Attempt on Dave's Lounge a couple months ago (which is one of my best sources for new music these days). The repetitive dark ambient music is a good backdrop for the samples, and it's cool when you hear one of the samples break through the music... it's like, "hey, that's the East German Seven Gongs station!"
