So, Video AID, released in '85, is one of those oddities that really captures a specific time in music history. The tone is eclectic, blending various musical styles with a loose, almost experimental editing style that feels raw and spontaneous. The pacing has this strange rhythm—sometimes it lingers on a performance, allowing you to soak it all in, then suddenly shifts gears, throwing in unexpected visuals. While the director remains a mystery, the performances are genuine, often leaving you with a sense of connection to the era's underground music scene. It’s a curious watch for those who enjoy collecting media that reflects the cultural landscape of the '80s, despite its lack of a polished overview.
Video AID is quite a rare find for collectors, often elusive in its format history. Originally released on VHS, it didn’t see much attention after its initial run, making it somewhat scarce in good condition. Interest tends to focus on its unique representation of '80s music culture, drawing in those who appreciate artifacts from that era. If you come across a copy, it's certainly worth considering for its distinctive take on the music scene.
