Interesting Factoid.... Jarvis Cocker directed the video for Aphex's On single.

there's a dvd coming out (both R1 and R2) of videos/short films by Chris Cunningham featuring his promo clips for Window Licker, Come To Daddy, Madonna's Frozen, the one he did for Bjork plus Second Bad Vibel he directed for Autechre. Apparently the content runs to about 200 minutes. The guy's had a massive influenece on the visual direction of Warp records after his pioneering graphic design work with them for The Designers Republic.
I always thought he's got it in him to make a visual feast of a film if he ever went into movie directing. He's got a warped mind - the Aphex Twin vids he directed were straight out of his own imagination, Mr Twin never offered any creative input at all.
