Desert, Concrete

In a similar utopian documentary vein, here's the film Brasilia, capital of Brazil from 1967 - the desert city looking magnificently Ballardian - soundtracked, of course, by Kraftwerk. Specifically their jingle for Expo 2000, inducing all sorts of future/past dissonance. Which wasn't helped by listening to the youtube bassline stuff Simon has posted at the same time. Despite the somewhat disappointing version of the future it represents, it's such a relief to hear people making new and brutal noises again, for whatever purpose - a bit of forward motion, no matter how juvenile. And I especially like the threat 'come to my town and I'll show you the scenic'.
