Summary: As the dots collide, expand and merge there is a timed beat rhythm that builds throughout and creates a soundtrack that would not be out of place in many a modern club. Created by scratching directly onto the film the soundtrack combined with the visuals are amazing in consideration of the fact that this was made in the 60's. (imdb)
More interesting to me as a historical document (electronica before electronica) than as an experience as aesthetically and audibly it is a bit too garish.
Context tells me that the visuals and especially the music were nifty back then. Enjoyment now tells me I don't need to watch this again because these days it's just lines and some, as other users have said, "primitive electronica."
Not one of the best by either director, but still a good piece of experimental animation. For something that should be simple to do and uninteresting, the use of visuals and music (as one other user says, this is primitive electronic music and it really stands out as the best part of it) by the directors makes it not only compelling but very enjoyable.
Yawn-inducing technical exercises. 5 minutes of vertical lines is an eternity. 5 minutes of it sideways is still an eternity. 5 minutes of one superimposed on the other and highlighting the connecting points is slightly niftier.
What interests me most is McLaren's choice of music, this is basically primitive electronic music in the line of minimal techno. Freakin' man was doing hell outta thing 50 years ago and we'd been seeing similar nowadays everywhere.
