Personally I liked it, but I can understand how some people might not
like it too much, as it falls quite far in the soft end of sci-fi hardness.

As far as I can tell, the video was made not by the band themselves, but
by a bunch of fans at their local school, on their own initiative. Given
that it's an amature production, it's not half bad.

It's apparently not the band who did the video, but the pupils at some
Polish school. For /that/, it seems exceptionally impressive to me.

Compared to the Baseballs video, I think it's pretty lame: Virtually all
you have to choreograph is a bunch of predictable mechanics. That's a
piece of cake (once you have mastered the technological skills) compared
to choreographing some 100 amateur actors, of which maybe 25 or more
have a short "main actor" role.

Isn't it just? Heck, I showed it to one of my classmates, and now she's
asked me to get her a copy too.
I guess I can add this to the list of "things Laura has made me spend
money on". ;-)

Ahh, yeah, that is pretty sweet. Speaks well for the band members as well.

Is she cute? ;-)
BTW, if you're going for the CD version, you may try to get the newest
edition, "The Baseballs - Strike! Back", which features a second CD with
cover versions of "Poker Face", "Ayo Technology", "Jungle Drum" and
more, which don't seem to be released on mp3 yet. (Unfortunately I only
realized after having bought the "Strike!" album on mp3 already.)

BTW, it's not /their/ school who did the video. The guys are actually
German, not Polish. The video appears to be pure fan art.

Well, forget what I said - unless you want to wait three more weeks: the
"Strike! Back" double album is scheduled to be released no sooner than
August 27th.

Yeah. Her sister is cuter, but Laura herself is definitely a looker.
I'm also fairly sure the both of them are married. :-P
