This track plays like a chaotic, plunderphonic audiovisual collage operating at a steady mid-tempo dance beat around 115 BPM. It opens with an upbeat, funky rhythm built around acoustic guitar strums and synth bass, layered with sampled dialogue and news broadcast clips from MSNBC's Rachel Maddow show. The visual presentation matches the sound, utilizing nostalgic early-2000s video wipes, Windows logo transitions, and text overlays. Around 00:39, the groove shifts into a bright synth-pop vocal melody paired with footage of calving glaciers, before making a radical turn at 01:00 into a dramatic, operatic choir performance set against outdoor martial arts practice and a surreal render of Alien and Predator sitting together in an elegant room. It concludes with Frutiger Aero aquatic visuals and a flurry of quick transition wipes featuring costumed clips.
As a piece of internet video art, it captures a very specific era of mashup culture and keep things engagingly unpredictable. The unexpected jump from funky political commentary into high-drama choral music at 01:00 is genuinely humorous in its sheer absurdity. That said, as a standalone musical composition, the piece feels more like a sequence of stitched-together audio ideas than a cohesive track. The abrupt hard cuts between sections create jarring volume and tonal shifts rather than a natural progression, and the opening bass-and-guitar groove is abandoned just as it gets going. Blending those disparate sections with smoother audio crossfades or maintaining a subtle rhythmic thread beneath the visual shifts would elevate this from a quirky edit reel into a much stronger piece.
