Depeche Mode v. Giant Squid and Numerous Blinking Mechanical Fish

In-process music video for "Precious," forwarded to me by an internets correspondent who figured, based on all the recent synth-pop namechecks, that I might like this one, too. It's true: it's hard to go wrong with a repetitive keyboard loop and great dollops of synthetic bass. The keyboardist's black nailpolish is a nice synth-goth touch, too.

There is something vaguely charming about the coupling of DM's earnest and totally humorless music with the scribbly clockwork fish, the little cartoon clouds rising from the soon-to-be-CGIed-to-death freighter's smokestacks, the keyboard museum in the elevator & etc. Shades of Terry Gilliam and Christian Marclay!
