xl video: good gawd

(random Daft Punk video from Red Rocks, 7/31/2007)

Friend and fellow Daft Punk disciple Glenn recently shared a link to XL Video’s profile on Apple.com.  Xl Video are the geniuses behind Daft’s recent “Alive 2007″ pyramid spectacular.  Although the profile itself is rather dry and super-techie (probably not of interest to the non a/v-creative crowd) a quick click thru to their own website was astounding.

Their past list of clients is basically a who’s who of anyone doing cutting edge concerts in the last 5 years.

I can personally vouch for seeing their work at the following shows:

Chemical Brothers
Coldplay
Depeche Mode
Placebo
U2 Vertigo Tour

Although certainly compelling in their own way, after seeing XL’s mind-blowing contribution to the french robots’ global takeover, I’d say their resume can easily be reduced to one line going forward:

Daft Punk - Alive 2007 tour

I’ll be amazed if another production company ever exceeds what they did there.  Ever.
