Miracle Man at Jericho
20-Aug-09
An upbeat hook, neon colors and a skull all star in this quirky stop-motion music video will very likely have you enjoying this video.
The Jericho walls are falling down reference is probably far removed from the actual meaning that the artists have planted in the Miracle Man video, but for the sake of my own curiosity, read a quick refresher on the Jericho reference below.
Jericho is known in Judeo-Christian tradition as the place of the Israelites’ return from bondage in Egypt, led by Joshua, the successor to Moses. During famous battle of Jericho, Joshua circled Jericho seven times with the ancient Children of Israel.
“The people raised the war cry, the trumpets sounded. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, they raised a mighty war cry and the wall collapsed then and there. At once the people stormed the city, each man going straight forward; and the captured the city. They enforced the curse of destruction on everyone in the city; men and women, young and old, including the oxen, the sheep, and the donkeys, slaughtering them all. — Joshua 6:20-21″
This song is an instrumental modern masterpiece – it takes techno to a new level by adding in largely syncopated rhythms and by playing different combinations of instruments together which makes the overall effect very grand and punchy. The simple melodies heard in what seems to be the recorder instrument make this tune recognizable to any ear and sits well with the deep harmonizing bass tunes. This song is extremely powerful, very energizing and not heard enough. Laura Ellis
