Any Chemical Brothers video is going to have some stiff competition in the talent department, since Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze are among the gifted folks who've created videos for the electronica group (Gondry's "Star Guitar," in which the various beats are kept by objects flying past a train window, is particularly good). But London creative agency Crystal CG's three-minute "Velodrome" spot—created to promote the indoor-cycling venue at this summer's Olympic Games—keeps the standard quite high, with its oddball Tron-on-even-more-acid design aesthetic and visuals that look like they could be painted by lasers on the ceiling of a warehouse full of raving teenagers.
Given the popularity of electronica in Britain (the Chems themselves are from Manchester), it's appropriate for the London Games.
