4. Orbidoig – Nocturnal Operations
“This has become a sort of anthem for us. It’s an old, or kind of rare,synthpop tune – its considerable in itself; but we also like the combination with the film Glissements Progressifs de Plaisir by Alain Robbe-Grillet which was done by the master of Youtube montage videos Der Todesking.
