Having thus excluded conversation and desisted from study, he had neither business nor amusement. His ideas, therefore, being neither renovated by discourse nor increased by reading, wore gradually away, till at last his anger congealed into madness.

David Bowie - Introduction/Don’t Let Me Down & Down - Rare Promo HD Remaster from Tin_Man on Vimeo.
I first received this rare clip a couple of years ago from a source I’m sure still wishes to remain anonymous. This is apparently from an alternate version of the 1993 ‘Black Tie White Noise’ film broadcast on Japanese television some time ago. I first took the audio track and added some slight noise reduction to the spoken introduction and then replaced the song with the 2003 digital remaster. The video I recorded with ScreenFlow from VLC with the de-interlace mode enabled. Loaded into iMovie to re-synch with the new audio track, adjust video speed in certain areas, and then exported to SD. Then loaded into iSkysoft video editor with auto enhance enacted and exported to 720p HD. I’m still not *completely* happy with the quality of this finished product, but I’ve come to terms with the fact that stretching out this obviously VHS-sourced original to HD is going to present some problems. I only hope you’ll forgive them as well and welcome my return back to the Bowie video restoration club

Tin Machine (David Bowie) - Medley/Under the God - Promo 1989, Extended HD Remaster from Tin_Man on Vimeo.
I remember reading somewhere not too long ago that apparently this extended medley promo was Bowie’s personal favorite music video, and honestly it’s one of mine too. First of all, I must give super thanks to Matt Day for supplying a very nice first-generation transfer to work from! This promo video directed by Julien Temple in 1989 includes excerpts of “Pretty Thing”, “Tin Machine”, “Prisoner of Love”, “Crack City”, “Bus Stop”, “Video Crime”, “I Can’t Read”, “Working Class Hero”, and pretty much all of “Under the God”. My first course of action was to completely recreate the audio track, which I did in Audacity following a transfer copy I had and replacing all excerpts with those from the 1999 remastered album. What’s a little different about my version, however, is that I chose to re-integrate the actual original album version of “I Can’t Read” in place of the “clean” video edit that was there before. I also opted to extend this somewhat by using (pretty much) the entirety of the single “Under the God” video, purchased from iTunes (all except the intro and first half of the first chorus of course). With that being said, you’ll also notice that “Tin Machine” and “Prisoner of Love” also come from the cleaner iTunes download versions. Everything was pieced together in iMovie, synched to the new audio track, and color-corrected/adjusted. Loaded that product into iSkysoft for even more picture tweaks and to export to a decent 720p HD file. Enjoy and share with your friends! Let me know what you think! And keep an eye out for more coming soon! xxtyler

ÜBERMENSCH from JESPER DALGAARD on Vimeo.
Two transient young men break into an empty church by the sea to form a blood pact: to get rid of their childhood demons and escape the cycle of anxiety and authorities. “It’s not goth to be afraid of darkness”, they agree.

"My friend told me a story he hadn’t told anyone for years. When he used to tell it years ago people..."
When he was a kid, he said, they didn’t use the word autism, they just said ‘shy’, or ‘isn’t very good at being around strangers or lots of people.’ But that’s what he was, and is, and he doesn’t mind telling anyone. It’s just a matter of fact with him, and sometimes it makes him sound a little and act different, but that’s okay.
Anyway, when he was a kid it was the middle of the 1980s and they were still saying ‘shy’ or ‘withdrawn’ rather than ‘autistic’. He went to London with his mother to see a special screening of a new film he really loved. He must have won a competition or something, I think. Some of the details he can’t quite remember, but he thinks it must have been London they went to, and the film…! Well, the film is one of my all-time favourites, too. It’s a dark, mysterious fantasy movie. Every single frame is crammed with puppets and goblins. There are silly songs and a goblin king who wears clingy silver tights and who kidnaps a baby and this is what kickstarts the whole adventure.
It was ‘Labyrinth’, of course, and the star was David Bowie, and he was there to meet the children who had come to see this special screening.
‘I met David Bowie once,’ was the thing that my friend said, that caught my attention.
‘You did? When was this?’ I was amazed, and surprised, too, at the casual way he brought this revelation out. Almost anyone else I know would have told the tale a million times already.
He seemed surprised I would want to know, and he told me the whole thing, all out of order, and I eked the details out of him.
He told the story as if it was he’d been on an adventure back then, and he wasn’t quite allowed to tell the story. Like there was a pact, or a magic spell surrounding it. As if something profound and peculiar would occur if he broke the confidence.
It was thirty years ago and all us kids who’d loved Labyrinth then, and who still love it now, are all middle-aged. Saddest of all, the Goblin King is dead. Does the magic still exist?
I asked him what happened on his adventure.
‘I was withdrawn, more withdrawn than the other kids. We all got a signed poster. Because I was so shy, they put me in a separate room, to one side, and so I got to meet him alone. He’d heard I was shy and it was his idea. He spent thirty minutes with me.
‘He gave me this mask. This one. Look.
‘He said: ‘This is an invisible mask, you see?
‘He took it off his own face and looked around like he was scared and uncomfortable all of a sudden. He passed me his invisible mask. ‘Put it on,’ he told me. ‘It’s magic.’
‘And so I did.
‘Then he told me, ‘I always feel afraid, just the same as you. But I wear this mask every single day. And it doesn’t take the fear away, but it makes it feel a bit better. I feel brave enough then to face the whole world and all the people. And now you will, too.
‘I sat there in his magic mask, looking through the eyes at David Bowie and it was true, I did feel better.
‘Then I watched as he made another magic mask. He spun it out of thin air, out of nothing at all. He finished it and smiled and then he put it on. And he looked so relieved and pleased. He smiled at me.
‘'Now we’ve both got invisible masks. We can both see through them perfectly well and no one would know we’re even wearing them,’ he said.
‘So, I felt incredibly comfortable. It was the first time I felt safe in my whole life.
‘It was magic. He was a wizard. He was a goblin king, grinning at me.
‘I still keep the mask, of course. This is it, now. Look.’
I kept asking my friend questions, amazed by his story. I loved it and wanted all the details. How many other kids? Did they have puppets from the film there, as well? What was David Bowie wearing? I imagined him in his lilac suit from Live Aid. Or maybe he was dressed as the Goblin King in lacy ruffles and cobwebs and glitter.
What was the last thing he said to you, when you had to say goodbye?
‘David Bowie said, ‘I’m always afraid as well. But this is how you can feel brave in the world.’ And then it was over. I’ve never forgotten it. And years later I cried when I heard he had passed.’
My friend was surprised I was delighted by this tale.
‘The normal reaction is: that’s just a stupid story. Fancy believing in an invisible mask.’
But I do. I really believe in it.
And it’s the best story I’ve heard all year.”
