Kurt Feldman’s day job in The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart may be focused on Clinton-era sonics, but the drummer’s side project, Ice Choir, is decidedly Reagan-esque.

The sophisticated pop practiced by Tears For Fears, Spandau Ballet, and George Michael during the Me Decade are all over Ice Choir’s debut album, Afar. Those references — more accurately Thatcher-esque as Great Britain was home to all — make the year called out in the title of the band’s “A Vision Of Hell, 1996” a little confusing.

But the primitive web graphics at the center of Ice Choir’s new music video bring “A Vision Of Hell, 1996” into clearer focus. Seeing how much progress has been made, can you believe such ‘virtual reality’ once passed for the future?
