I know STAR GUITAR has been out for almost 7 to 8 years and It isn't anything new, but I still get really spyched up every time I watch it. I hope they put together another music video like it. What do you think about it ?

Hmm. Not sure if I'd want to see a Star Guitar pt 2 video. The director Michel Gondry also did television commercials (in the States) for The Gap around the time the Let Forever Be video came out and a lot of those ideas and visual aspects - although brilliantly exectuted - in both the video and advertisements were the same. I wouldn't be against the idea of making a similar video, but I kind of like that the Star Guitar video is so original and the idea hasn't been duplicated in other places. I also like that each Chems video is different from the next. They seem to be fairly open to allowing the directors to do their own thing when making videos for their songs. And it allows the directors a chance to evolve their works of art much like how the Chems evolve musically.

Good point, whirly. I've always enjoyed the videos by the Chems, but it wasn't until I got the DVD collection that I truly appreciated what an interesting, diverse collection of videos they have.
Of course, it's no secret that I'm a big fan of the video for TSD, which sadly isn't part of said collection.

Whoa yourself.
there [thair; unstressed ther]
–adverb
1. in or at that place (opposed to here ): She is there now.
2. at that point in an action, speech, etc.: He stopped there for applause.
3. in that matter, particular, or respect: His anger was justified there.
4. into or to that place; thither: We went there last year.
5. (used by way of calling attention to something or someone): There they go.
6. in or at that place where you are: Well, hi there.
–pronoun
7. (used to introduce a sentence or clause in which the verb comes before its subject or has no complement): There is no hope.
8. that place: He comes from there, too.
9. that point.
–noun
10. that state or condition: I'll introduce you to her, but you're on your own from there on.
–adjective
11. (used for emphasis, esp. after a noun modified by a demonstrative adjective): Ask that man there.
–interjection
12. (used to express satisfaction, relief, encouragement, approval, consolation, etc.): There! It's done.
Usage note:
7. The verb following there is singular or plural according to the number of the subject that follows the verb: There is a message for you. There are patients in the waiting room. With compound subjects in which all the coordinate words are singular, a singular verb often occurs, although the plural may also be used: There was (or were) a horse and a cow in the pasture. When a compound subject contains both singular and plural words, the verb usually agrees with the subject closest to the verb, although a plural verb sometimes occurs regardless, especially if the compound has more than two elements: There were staff meetings and a press conference daily. There was (or were) a glass, two plates, two cups, and a teapot on the shelf.
11. It is nonstandard usage to place there between a demonstrative adjective and the noun it modifies: that there car. The same is true of here: these here nails. Placed after the noun, both there and here are entirely standard: that car there; these nails here.
------------------------------
their [thair; unstressed ther]
–pronoun
1. a form of the possessive case of they used as an attributive adjective, before a noun: their home; their rights as citizens; their departure for Rome.
2. (used after an indefinite singular antecedent in place of the definite masculine form his or the definite feminine form her): Someone left their book on the table. Did everyone bring their lunch?

Heya Orbital - in case you haven't already gone off searching amazon.com - yes, there is a Chems DVD that was released in 2003 to go along with their Singles collection. :)
It's a beautiful thing. Star Guitar can be yours in clear, full TV screen glory!
There's some live footage on the Singles DVD as well.

Michel Gondry's video collection dvd is well worth checking out, too. The closest other video I can think that he did similar to Star Guitar was Daft Punk's Around the World where each sound (bass, drum beat, samples, ect.) were represented by the different groups of characters (mummies, space men, swimmers and so forth) and choreographed to sync with the song.
