It was released as the second single from their third studio album, Travelling Without Moving , on 19 August The sight of underground town in Sapporo, Northern Japan provided inspiration to this song. At the MTV Video Music Awards, Jamiroquai performed the song, recreating the famous floor moving concept with two moving walkways on the stage floor, going in different directions, for Jay Kay to use to dance on.
Director Jonathan Glazer has basically spent his entire life explaining how he made this music video. He should probably just print business cards with a paragraph about it on the back and hand them out to everyone he meets.
But it's not just an understanding of the analog magic that makes this video so compelling, such a charmer, 20 years down the line. What is it that makes "Virtual Insanity" so watchable? It's stark and minimalist without feeling cold, yes. It's intimate -- a cousin to Hype Williams' signature fish-eye , perhaps, but sillier, less self-consciously stylish. There's Jay Kay's delightfully playful way of moving, a Beck-meets- The Jetsons update on the moonwalk.
And then there's the fact that he's literally dancing over a rapidly changing landscape as he sings about misgivings with an uncertain, tech-centric future. Per the song's lyrics, we hear concerns that a preoccupation with newfangled toys and virtual escapism is at odds with humans doing right by each other keep in mind most Americans didn't even have the internet in their homes in Per the video, it's up to Jay to move deftly, gracefully enough to make way for the inevitable shifts in the furniture -- to maintain some humanity and humor among the right angles and bright, unthinking lights.
Altogether, it's knowing, it's wry, and it's completely of its time: hopeful, but wary about what's to come. As though the medium of the music video itself has become sentient, prescient, and is attempting to shout through the screen about what lies ahead. What lay ahead, in , was a massive shift in the way we consume music, and videos had to follow suit. Today, "Virtual Insanity" might be released on YouTube, and we would call it a viral video; we know, because OK Go followed the breadcrumbs it left behind -- "make videos people want to talk about and the fascination will transfer to your music" -- to great success.
I would argue that while that band's videos are technically impressive, "Virtual Insanity" holds up better as it ages partially because it's a great song and partially because the video is in service of its message, whereas OK Go videos seem to be 90 percent unrelated yet cool-looking gimmicks, but whatever.
