I don't really agree with that. Videos aren't as important these days as
they were back in the '80s (where music videos were everywhere and even MTV
played music videos...what a concept!) I barely see any videos nowadays,
and for most of these electronic folks, 1) they're not even in their own
videos and 2) the video is nothing more than a smart-assed 4-5 minute art
film. Some of them are cool, but it's gotten to be somewhat of a cliche.
I've never even seen a Moby video. Perhaps they are indeed good, but I
don't think it's a requirement.
