This one is from the most recent Louis XIV album. Normally, the kings of (wink wink) misogyny churn out rock n' roll tracks about T&A. "Air Traffic Control", however, is a thoughtful, soaring piece that is right up there with some of the more epic pieces by Oasis and Suede, and owes a huge debt (as do the previously mentioned bands) to the Beatles.
This video does what all good videos should. It tells a story that doesn't overshadow the song, nor does it try to define what Louis were trying to say. Rather, it gives us a visual interpretation that leaves the viewer to their own thoughts.
It also does a great job of using CGI and blue screen for a wonderful effect that reminds me of Terry Gilliam's animation, in spirit, if not in simpleness.
