Classic and memorable Simple Minds moment

Today this video looks weirdly dated with its old fashioned chroma key and computer effects but way back it was something to be seen.

Oscar winning director Zbigniew Rybczynski makes a little spectacle in "Simple Minds: All the Things She Said" through repetitions and "copies" of lead singer Jim Kerr and band members while performing the song against a starred space. With a full and detailed attention the viewer can spot the small changes within its repetitive images floating around (the guitar changes colors in the opening as he plays the intro, or Kerr's clothings and obviously the lipsyching). Not sure why the director didn't show the drummer with some fun gimmick like he did with Neil Peart flying around with his drums in "Rush: Time Stand Still".

The Minds were at their best with this lovely song, everything works here and despite the weird art from the video it end up becoming one of their most memorable of all time. 8/10.
