The initial idea was to exclude these little films. but since they too are a testament to the life and geist of the Electric Fantastic Sound way of doing things they are presented below:
Each video is described from memory – the facts were then checked and are presented in italics.

Unusual Rendition Of A Flux Song
The 2010 release of “Claws And Teeth” by the Finnish band Flux was fairly typical, receiving the expected level of attention. However, years later, an unusual request emerged: an American choir leader sought permission to use the song for a performance.
