Jesus how boring is it? I would have made a bigger deal of the dancers and possible have had it on the streets of Paris. Jesus the Minimal section of the Fundamental project is such a let down for me! Great song with shoddy tracklisting and boring below standard video. If it was up to me I would have kept the same style the tubes and dances etc... but I would have had someething a bit more theatrical with maybe a murder mystery at an art gallery opening but hey.

yeah, it's boring. and what the flip's neil doing with his hands?!

I still don't think Minimal is single material. it'll sink faster than the titanic in a swimming pool.

Agreed, the end section is the best part of the song after you've heard it 100+ times.
Video is ok, does the job I suppose.

Like it. But not as I expected.

It's funny that there (on the site) is an option to "watch" the remixes, but when you click there, the video plays again.

Some people want too much. All these festivals etc, they probably didn't have 2 or 3 days to shoot some epic of a video. The song is called Minimal and the video fits it ok. It's no Pixar shoot but it fits the song nicely. Video's also cost money. Singles mainly lose money and with an expensive video, it would get quite costly.

I think the video is fine. Better than I'm with Stupid which was a bit silly and virtually identical to Flamboyant. What were they thinking?

Someone on another forum said "The stream is so bad, you don't even see the amazing choreography. Perfection. Wait until you see it in high quality"

after watching it 7-8 times

Good things :

1-We see Neil and Chris too much..

2- They are very charismatic..

Bad things :

1 - Dancers are very static...

2- Minimal is an summer song!! But video is too dark for a dance song....

But I liked it...

Very arty and suitably minimal. It's such a cool song and the shots of Neil and Chris insouciant in silhouette are typically PSB.
