Video: Bjork: "Earth Intruders"
Björk trades one Michel for another with this clip for Volta's Konono N°1-bolstered first single, "Earth Intruders". French director Michel Ocelot casts Björk as Earth Mother, her inverted head's dilating mouth taking on a third-eye sort of mysticism.
Meanwhile, the side-scrolling silhouettes-- complete with bazooka- and laser-wielding bands of "earth intruders" wreaking havoc on all that surrounds them-- call to mind a pretty sweet video game. Come to think of it, "Earth Intruders" sounds like a pretty sweet name for a pretty sweet old school video game, and Björk's bauble-costume would make a pretty sweet power-up suit. Hell, if Michael Jackson could take Moonwalker to the Sega Genesis...
