It's Frisco, and the balls are real



There's a lot of video out there. To say the least. But I found this one to be a pleasant diversion. This is Norwegian band Röyksopp's remix of Mike Oldfield's disco cover of Philip Glass's "North Star". The original tune featured little more than a choir singing "Eee, Ahh, Ohh". Then we can take it back to Pink Floyd, because the album art for "North Star" was a prism, much like on "The Dark Side of the Moon".The Oldfield cover only featured that lyric some of the time, and it has been entirely removed from Röyksopp's version. Röyksopp  is best known, I think for their Flashlights and Explosions song.
