During the 80s Duran Duran may have set the bar for consistently creating innovative videos.
Then in the 90s came Massive Attack.
Electronic beats and synths meet R & B for the subtle smooth groove of "Unfinished Symphony" by Massive Attack.
In the video, vocalist Shara Nelson walks the streets of Los Angeles, lip synching bittersweet lyrics, uncaring of her surroundings, which include drunks, bikers, and disabled people.
Band members Daddy G, 3D and Mushroom can be spotted at various points a few paces behind, and slightly out of focus.
The clip was shot in a single continuous take, and influenced the creation for the video for "Bittersweet Symphony" released six years later.
