Muse Presents: The Known Universe
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPy0cEzUNgs
So everyone says that just because I’m a big fan of French and Japanese rap, that makes me have terrible taste in music, but one “normal” band I like, and the last concert I went to, is Muse.
As you’ll see in this video, their song, Exogenesis, just so happens to perfectly sync up with footage of “the known universe” like it’s Pink Floyd and the Wizard of Oz or something.
I like to believe if astronauts took off their helmets in outer space, this is the song they universe would sing to them right before their heads exploded.

I never tire of that video. Nor of that song. Part 1 to Exogenisis is one of the best songs of the year and will (and should, mind) be the anthem for Sci Fi, it’s just too perfect.
That video is brilliant, though. Really makes you feel small and insignificant. Exogenisis really worked well with it, though.
hehe, I saw the original programm a couple of months ago at a convention. this video doesn’t really pay duty, because its not an animation, like for a movie but a google earth like programm where you can rotate the viewpoint, jump from planet to planet ect. ect. AND it’s 3D! Also, this video give’s you the impression that the universe is smaller than it is. the point is, and you realize this when you see the thing in real time, that you are accelerating here very very much. at first you go from earth to moo in a view seconds, then you see the sun (here is where the viewed animation goes beyond speed of light) then at one point, you see the blue ball, the radiosphere. here you must realize, that this is the point in space, that if there are aliens out there, we could only possible establish contact to alien inside that spere, because no menkind-information had the time to go beyond that. from this point the fewpoint of the animation accelerates unimaginable fast, since to cross the blue ball alone, if you have infite energy, it would take you 140 years. then you see hime jumping from galaxies to clusters, ect. ect.. it looks like a smooth movement but every second he goes unbelievable faster than the second before.
Spectacular. And yeah, Muse is pretty friggin good.
I’d hardly say it syncs up, it just suits it. Also, Muse was good back in the day and used to be fucking obsessed with them but they peaked at Origins. The Resistance is a step forward but not even close to how good they used to be.
Sorry, forgot to add: this video was still fucking awesome and it is a good song.
