DOLPHINS latest news
a tribute to Simple Minds' fascinating song "Dolphins"
official featured video by Simple Minds


Pressnote at musica.it - march, 21th 2006

The Dolphins video got mentioned in the italian music-press at Musica.it.

“Dolphins” is the atmospheric track that closed the classic set of Simple Minds recent Italian gigs. Their audience would have called them back on stage for an even longer series of encores, as it happened in Rome, in the awesome gig at the Parco della Musica Auditorium.

But that song shines as a precious gem mounted in “Black and White 050505”, the album that got the band of Jm Kerr back “on the road”. AlexG applied his experience to Dolphins, to create an extremely fascinating videoclip, which can be seen on the official site of the Scottish band.

A “short movie”, with a new age taste, in which the lyrics of the song slides upon satellite views of the planets, zooming slowly in to the oceans, and to catch, finally, the dance of the dolphins through the waves.

AlexG tells that his interest towards the images of Earth seen from the space was born in the period when he worked in the weather forecast on TV. The idea of the videoclip was born some time before last Christmas time: AlexG bought a couple of DVD documentaries, from which he took the images, amongst which there are some NASA views, to use to comment the song by SM in a 2D animation clip.
