Atmosphere – Scapegoat Mashup

I’ve been thinking a lot about Atmosphere lately. And in the end, even after people have sent me some INTENSE videos they’ve made on YouTube like this one, I still think this is why his music is important: he owns up to his own B.S. He doesn’t know the answer and that becomes a statement in itself. Case and point is the song “Scapegoat.” Video is NSFW, by the way.

The use of pop culture and British street artist Bansky’s work is perfection. Also, the photo of Bush with the word “embarassment” is priceless.

  • Every time I hear this song I am immediately put into Orwell's "1984" world. The entire album is a sonic beating that you learn to become accustomed to... and even like.
