Mute Math

I was just thinking about some cool music videos and the video "Typical" by a band called Mute Math came to mind. Its a pretty good song in my opinion, i havnt listened to much of their other music, but they seem legit. The video is real freakin cool though. The entire video seems like its running in real time, forward. But its actually a recording being played in reverse. Its not a completely original idea, but i think they pulled it off real well. Its almost obvious the entire time that you are watching a reversed recording, but the music and lyrics seem to synch up fairly well the entire time. For instance, there is a short section in which the lead singer has massive ammounts of paint flying off of his body (reversing the process of splattering it on) however, he is singing right into the camera and his vocals seem to match the forward playing music track, for the most part. Okay, i tried posting links to this video as well as a bunch of others, but it didnt really work out. But you can find the video "typical" on youtube fairly easily. Also, if you havnt seen it, look up "Parabola" by TooL.
