A PERFECT CIRCLE - aMotion

James Maynard Keenan (of Tool fame) and his Perfect Circle band is an outspoken team of rockers who delve deep into the human psyche, emotions and actions resulting from mindsets, born or cultivated. As with the layered intensity of the music, the videos depict an equally dark and thought provoking vision. From the moody performance clip Judith by David Fincher (Alien 3, Fight Club), or the creepy forest scenario of Weak And Powerless (by The Brothers Strause). The Outsider is a titillating one with the Bikini Bandits going on a rampage while Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Sounds Of The War Drums is an animated George W stab. Thinking Of You is compiled from the Bikini Bandits and The Golden Rod episodes. They had a video competition for the song Blue - the winner plus runners-up included (one of them being a South African, Gregoire Pinard - his animated version of the song also screened at Flamedrop & Shadow Realm's South African Horror Festacular film festival!). The Noose is a dark and moody live clip, the rendition of John Lennon's Imagine a compilation of horrific news footage. Extras also include video shot on tour, The Outsider Director's Cut and Bikini Bandits trailers.
You also get a 9-track CD with a variety of remixes.
