The creator of the video died in 2015. In his bio he says he's a radio guy in south Texas, and if you look into it, you can find articles talking about his death and remembering him. It coincides with when he stopped uploading too. What a shame, this was a really good piece.
As far as I know this music was never released commercially. A friend of mine in NYC and another friend of his were putting this stuff together as demo cuts back in the early 90's. This video I made and their music ran on a NYC cable tv show then. My NYC friend is kind of hard to reach at the moment, but I'll email him and ask..might be some old tapes around. JIM
I was expecting a shitpost but I genuinely and unironically liked this. The surreal atmosphere, the psychedelic synth music, the grainy, pixelated look, everything. This is really cool.
The music was made by a guy in California, who, sorry to say has since died. He, along with my friend in NYC were in the process of producing an album..which now won't happen. I made the animation for them which ran on an NYC cable show at the time.
It's not only nostalgia. If this wasn't a bad tape recording, it'd look like something from MS Paint. The fact that it was manipulated that way makes it more important.
"Forgive the intrusion, my lady - I did not intend to offend your eye. For I am vile, loathsome creature and I have crawled in here to die" Why does that intrigue me so much? i am somehow inspired by that line.
Really sucks to come back to this video, years later, to find out Jim is dead :(. Back in 2011 i remember messaging him about being able to hear more of his friends music, and he wanted to see if he could sort something out about uploading it. But i guess it never came to be. Rest in peace.
Sad to hear the animator passed away, because this is genuinely impressive for what constraints he had to work with at the time. I'm glad he's gotten the attention he deserves through this video. I do wonder who his "friend" is however, the one he mentioned who created the song accompanying the animation.
On 'Center Core' I used Deluxe Paint III, a very easy pgm. to figure out, even without the manual.. It was one of my favorite programs.. too bad it was never properly ported over to Windows.. if It were, I'd rush out and buy it today.. Jim
hey guys, just arrived, i came here because $uicideboy$ has a song like the name of the video and i wanted to see if there was any relation between the video and the song. a greeting The video is great. PS: I don't speak English, if you could write me what it says, I would really appreciate it.
There may be some music still around that my friend in NYC has, but I believe the guy who made that track and most of the others, has died. He and my NYC friend were planning on doing more stuff together, but that was put on hold, in this world anyway. Jim
1:44 the music becomes so epic and triumphant after he delivers that line like it was the sickest burn ever concieved before he flies off to that heroic ballad
Thanks.. The video quality isn't all that hot since it was posted before You Tube started allowing high quality uploads.. One of these days I'll make a better video..
I've watched a decent number of animations and demos from this time period, and I'm so impressed with the unique style of this piece. The textures in particular set it apart from other work I've seen. And I love the mysterious sci-fi devices she sees in the store window! This is truly something special.
Years ago when I first heard this I was sucked in by the hypnotic rythms and the surreal visual style. If someone was to duplicate this feel with the commodore graphics styling, the couplet or prose poetry and the eerie post-rock music style; it would have its detractors, but it would create a cult following.
Hey, another follower of the U M A M I! Nice to see you all the way out here! In all seriousness though DaPistolPat, he's absolutely right, it's a great RUclips channel, you should definitely check it out.
Also check out PilotRedSun. He does pretty similar videos to this one and composes the music himself. They aren't exactly post-rock, but capture the same feeling. Sadly he hasn't uploaded in a year, but he still creates music on his second channel.
I keep coming back to watch this video. Actually incredible when you think of the technology Jim Wilson made this on and I've now been working my way through his other videos. Seems like he was a really creative guy who knew how to make thought-provoking and captivating videos and I was sad to hear of his death. I am also really digging the art style of this video and the general atmosphere with the incredible post-rock music. Anyone else noticed that the author of the book the lady on the train is reading is "Semaj Nosliw" which is James Wilson backwards?
Thanks, I'm not an animator.. just like to play with video when the mood strikes me. I mainly do part time voice work and some video editing when it's available. Most of the time I need a kick in the rear to get me motivated to do something.. lol.. JIM
+justletmelistthese because we are missing this kind of stuff. I originally found this song in early 2009. I could not believe it has been that long ago, until I checked the playlist I added it too.
GoldKnightProduction Your comment confuses me, either you don't know that this was made In the 90s, or you know something I don't and this wasn't made in the 90s, or maybe my view on the 90s is skewed and misinterpreted, or maybe something else entirely. I really don't know. Can you please elaborate?
Zeit Geist I realize this was made in the 90s, which is why they used the effect. The old technique was used because it was the only thing available at the time. I'm just calling it old-school because it doesn't get used anymore.

Linklgas the black hole would be so small, it probably would decay in a few seconds of our time. The entire galaxy would only last seconds, a beautiful spark that fades back into the black nothingness it came from. The black hole would be the last something in a space of eternal nothing, in a last spectacular explosion this too would end.
Came here from Ethereal Snake's playlist of inspirations. This is amazing work, a beautiful mix of sound and visuals. I hope it continues to inspire other artists to do their craft before the inevitable grace of death. Keep your memory alive somehow, take this as a sign to love your art and always challenge yourself new ways to combine what is already around us and make something new and fresh. Creative new ways to express yourself, and get your message across. The world deserves our art.
@darkfalken42 I've heard about emulators.. but don't know anything about them or what's needed to set them up.. I have a lot of old Amiga pgms. that I'd like to run again, but my old 500 is in need of a boot floppy drive to work again. I've still have an external drive for it that maybe I could take apart and install internally, I don't know. I have all the original anims on Amiga floppy that would be nice to transfer over in a good quality digital cam....Maybe someday.
@@IohsmdIglomdrnIjsmsIhafmIafmli I think so because they always put random names as song titles. They been sampling “gimisum family” and old Memphis rap group nobody knows about unless you like Memphis shit. I truly believe they watched this video high on drugs. They used to do heroin and so much crazy shit.
@@IohsmdIglomdrnIjsmsIhafmIafmli I think they did base it off this because they did hella drugs like heroin and bath salts I wouldn’t doubt they stumbled upon this video high as fuck and we’re flabbergasted. They sample old Memphis tapes. Like old ass cassette types type shit from the 90s. They have the same type of views as this video or less
This is now one of my favorite videos. I hope there are more of these from these guys hidden somewhere that we'll get to see one day.. Live on forever Captain Gay.
This is absolutely amazing. 9 year after first seeing this the voice and atmosphere still creeps from my memories leading me to spend 30 minutes looking up the name and being taken away again
This masterpiece, this work of art could have a legacy that remains a mystery considering the maker of the animation has since passed away, as well as one of the two musicians who recorded this track. It would be interesting to attempt to contact possible family or friends to discover if more recordings exist, if more animations exist. The amount of work that went into creating this should not be forgotten. I am enamored by this wonderful piece of art.
Do you know anything about who was involved in the making of the music? I'd like to know more for the same reasons, it'd be neat if there was any more music and video that could be recovered from them as well as Jim.

I hope his tombstone has the words from this song engraved on it.
Here I am, seeing it for the first time.
That's a shame. This is a good animation.
I'm actually hurting inside right now
oh!! that's so sad. but he lives on through his piece, new people are seeing this for the first time every day
lol, I don't understand it either.. and I made it.. there's something going on in my head that I don't know about..
Jim Wilson rip
You'll be missed
your work is truly awesome. rest in peace :(
Jim Wilson F
Man, the fact that this was made with such constraints blows me away.
Art, uh... Finds a way.
Restrictions are an artist's best friend.
Well said
one of the greatest surrealist animations ever made
This is really cool. Thanks for sending me here.
Thank you for sending people to this animation
Coming back to pay my respects to this old masterpiece. May the artist rest in peace.
This is a video I keep coming back to. Plus the song is awesome.

Did you ever get in touch? Keen to hear more of their music!
Does this person have a place to find their music?
@@samovarandlime jim passed away 8 yrs ago
Apparently so did the guy in California who made the music
pilotredsun's ancestors
Ya
are you hungry? why not have some pringles? it's exquisite cuisine.
holy shit it is
except this guy was original and had talent. Pilotredsun is just a dumbed down version of Famicon.
Rhys F. Pilotredsun’s videos are more of a segway for his music I think
I was expecting a shitpost but I genuinely and unironically liked this. The surreal atmosphere, the psychedelic synth music, the grainy, pixelated look, everything. This is really cool.

I guess the idea that you like something despite the fact that you find it terrible.
Woah same!
I don’t think shitposting was even a concept at this time of RUclips. XD

Man, I can totally imagine this on MTV's Liquid Television in the 90s.
Seriously, good work.
CrabJock Liquid Television is insane. Lol very artistic, and it all makes sense when you're on acid, somehow. Lol
that thumbnail is terrifying but this is awesome
Goofy Goober get oudda here goober
Awesome
The music was made by a guy in California, who, sorry to say has since died. He, along with my friend in NYC were in the process of producing an album..which now won't happen. I made the animation for them which ran on an NYC cable show at the time.
Is it just me or does beat up VHS just look great? The way the image looks and the sound...I love it.
1:22
Yeah...
I love it too! Glad I'm not the only one. :)
It's because we live in an age obsessed with nostalgia, so you've been conditioned to think that shitty old analog media with flaws looks good
cheesefarts it looks like something from the Sega CD system Lol
It's not only nostalgia. If this wasn't a bad tape recording, it'd look like something from MS Paint. The fact that it was manipulated that way makes it more important.
Do you ever just go " i need to watch centre core never more again"...ye me too.
I’m glad other people have the deep strange connection to this video and song that I do
Yeah, there's just something about it that really strikes a chord.
"Forgive the intrusion, my lady -
I did not intend to offend your eye.
For I am vile, loathsome creature
and I have crawled in here to die"
Why does that intrigue me so much? i am somehow inspired by that line.
He is so polite about it.
Keep your head up king
Sounds kinda neckbeardy and dumb
Because it was made to sound like it means something but obviously has no real meaning or substance, you're just easily impressed by the aesthetic
M’lady
The only video from this guy I’ve seen, but it’s stuck with me from when I first saw it like half a decade ago- rest in peace Jim
By every definition this is a masterpiece.
Really sucks to come back to this video, years later, to find out Jim is dead :(. Back in 2011 i remember messaging him about being able to hear more of his friends music, and he wanted to see if he could sort something out about uploading it. But i guess it never came to be. Rest in peace.
How do you know he died? I looked on his channel but don't see anything about it.
Live action remake? Humm.. I don't think I wanna' squeeze into a small exploding pod with prune face..
Rest in peace Jim, this was really good.
Fly high Jim, I may not know who you were. But any human with a creative mind deserves recognition.
RIP Jim, you helped pave the way.
Sad to hear the animator passed away, because this is genuinely impressive for what constraints he had to work with at the time. I'm glad he's gotten the attention he deserves through this video.
I do wonder who his "friend" is however, the one he mentioned who created the song accompanying the animation.
R.I.P. Jim Wilson
Jim died?
Notorious Neht apparently he died sometime in 2015
CnugTV what did he die of?
I think natural causes, but for the most part I don’t know.
Sad to hear.
On 'Center Core' I used Deluxe Paint III, a very easy pgm. to figure out, even without the manual.. It was one of my favorite programs.. too bad it was never properly ported over to Windows.. if It were, I'd rush out and buy it today.. Jim
when youtube recommends you a video that was published over 10 years ago and actually made like 20 years ago
More like 30 years ago
Into the new decade 2020. :(
2022 and this still SLAPS. One of the first videos I loved when I first got into YT. Much love from tokyo
Rest in peace dude. Your a real inspiration for me.

Almost 12 years later and I still keep coming back to this absolute classic masterpiece.

a greeting
The video is great.
PS: I don't speak English, if you could write me what it says, I would really appreciate it.
Beautifully painted and animated. Lots of work in the pixel by pixel days. Amiga was a dream machine, so fun....great games too!
Forgive the intrusion, my lady.
I did not intend to offend your eye.
For I am a vile, loathsome creature.
And I've crawled in here to die.
There may be some music still around that my friend in NYC has, but I believe the guy who made that track and most of the others, has died. He and my NYC friend were planning on doing more stuff together, but that was put on hold, in this world anyway. Jim
This is incredible!
honestly did not expect to see you here...
I'm floored we watch similar content
Are any of you actually surprised that umami of all people likes this, really
Hello legend
There's no way that this video wasn't an inspiration to umami in some way
As far as I know.. that's the only tune I have and that was on a cassette tape which was used in the animation...
Forgive the intrusion m'lady, I did not intend to offend your eye.
For I am a vial and loathsome creature, and I've crawled in here to die.
*vile
a vial is a small container
someone should edit a fedora onto it
I always have to think of this video when the "m'lady" meme comes up
@@thecianinator same
i never stop coming back to this fucking masterpiece.
Hello, come see Again?
I keep coming back to this. Its been years now.
Yes, the old primitive computer days of no memory... It was very expensive then also.
Underappreciated RUclips gem. Can't believe it's been 7 years since I first saw it.
this needs to be the new vaporwave,or something else entirely. i actually legit enjoyed this
It wouldn't be the same
It's similar to the yellow submarine animation by the Beatles
it was a thong id say throwback 70s
jack stauber
It is definitely a thing. 'Lo-fi' my dude.
1:44 the music becomes so epic and triumphant after he delivers that line like it was the sickest burn ever concieved before he flies off to that heroic ballad
1:04 you can see "bye bye bush" on the wall, just a sign of how old this really is
Near 9 years has separated us but alas, I have found you again and am complete.
