Psy Trance + dodgy 1980's aerobic video =

Ron Harris's ":20 Minute Workout" meant nothing to me a few months back, it still doesn't really. I found the link to the full version of the 1982 pilot without a proper description of what it was and thought it was pretty weird, but in a good way :)

So its a psedo soft porn kind of thing that burns calories. Sounds great! The music's by Shiva and is pretty good (if you like 80's) but if you add the magic of some psychedelic trance to the mix, it becomes positively cosmic! It develops an entirely hypnoptic nature which is almost ethnogenic. The mono google video version doesnt quite have the same effect though.

I chose music by Hallucinogen, because its decent well respected psy (plus theres the Shpongle connection). Theres no time stretching or frame rate adjustments, and I only keyed the music in at one point. It's pretty well matched considering; not perfect, but pretty well matched.

Hallucinogen Tracklisting:

Snarling Black Mabe - Twisted
Fluoro Neuro Sponge - Twisted
Solstice - Twisted
Demention - The Lone Deranger
Shakey Shaker - The Lone Deranger



If you cant stomach the full 20 minute version, then I urge you to give the 2 minute version a lash, if only for a laugh. It gives you an idea of the themes. I used Windows Movie Maker for this edit. It's not a very accurate video editor and it messed up some of the transition timings when I did the final render. Ah well...



If this one proves popular, I'll do the same with Jade Goody's work out videos :D
