I am not a fan of Royksopp, but I like some of their music videos.
Röyksopp - Remind Me
Dir. H5
Very influential video, it won best music video at MTV Europe's 2002 Music Awards and inspire many others. In same way H5 directed an ad for Areva.

Norman Palm - Girls Just WannaHave Fun
Dir. Malte Rettberg
Music video made from webcams shots
Norman Palm - Boys Don't Cry
Video description:
"What do Leni Riefenstahls 1938 movie «Olympia» and contemporary advertisment have in common? The image of a cold, perfect and masculine man.
While singer-songwriter Norman Palm gently weeps «Boys Don't Cry» in his acoustic cover version of The Cure's 1979 pop hit, video artist Malte Rettberg cuts together a surprising mash-up of Leni Riefenstahls propagandistic sports movie and selections of today's TV advertisment. The imagery goes hand-in-hand. The popular image of the alpha male seems to have changed little since the days of the old Greeks."
Norman Palm - Falling
Very simple, but it works.

More Keith Schofield
Wintergreen - Can't Sit Still
Very controversial for some people - it is instructional video how to make drugs from household supplies - Dextropolamine 22-B (aka Egyptian Meth), Pentocyclene ("Hillbilly Qualudes") and much more. Controversial for some. Even if it is satire and the whole thing doesn't even exists... It's a joke, so don't bother to try it. Here is director's statement:
"This music video is for informational purposes only. All instructions must be followed EXACTLY as stated or may result in injury and/or illness. All created substances are classified as illegal and subject to U.S. Schedule I drug laws.
9/10/08 NOTE: This video was removed for 3 months. I petitioned to get back on with one caveat: the admission that this video is a satire. The drugs are fictional. The instructions are completely bunk.
Never mind the fact that we told people that this video was for informational purposes only! Then again, the joke is funnier when it doesn't end with a "just kidding!"
No one ever gives us credit though, for creating SAFE instructions. We deliberately omitted using dangerous chemicals like bleach or rat poision. While Hydrogren Peroxide and Iodine aren't exactly child-safe; the 'fail-safe' there is that the gas-creation won't work. For Pentocyclene, it's basically mixing Baking Soda and Vinegar. You can't overdose on Vitamin C, it's water-soluble. And the hallucinogen - you're basically trying to light a bowl of water on fire. It won't work."

Malaria! feat. Chicks On Speed - Kaltes Klares Wasser

Maybe not so great music video, but it was stucked in my memory for such a long time. I remember this from TV when I was 12 or so. The close-ups with the water drops in shower are very nice.
