If the world was coming to an end, this Eclectic Method-The Apocamix mash-up would be its theme music.
Taking film clips from contemporary and classic movies with apocalyptic narratives, Eclectic Method brilliantly splices the montages together to form this dance number that's as urgent and pressing as the plots they're paying tribute to. Among the many movies featured in this song mash-up are Mars Attacks, Deep Impact, Cloverfield, Independence Day and even Godzilla.
From Eclectic Method's Vimeo page, "Eclectic Method is a trio of video remix artists who rearrange the sights and sounds of music videos, motion pictures, and video games to the thrill of live audiences around the globe." I'm sure Eclectic Method-The Apocamix is addictive enough that fans everywhere will show up to EM's shows and wish the world would end.
