I'm hard pressed to think of an artist or musical outfit that has influenced me more than <a title="Severed Heads Website" href="http://sevcom.com/wp/" target="_blank">Severed Heads</a>. A good portion of their musical output was nothing less than visionary in it's ability to bind pop music with an often alien, synthetic sound and a good dose of found sound and music concrete. Whilst I'm not sure if the <a title="Boards of Canada" href="http://boardsofcanada.com" target="_blank">Boards of Canada</a> boys were fans or had even heard them, it feels like BoC couldn't even exist without Severed Heads. 'A Million Angels' is lifted from the brilliant 1983 album <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;field-keywords=severed%20heads%20since%20the%20accident&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Asevered%20heads%20since%20the%20accident&amp;tag=hiddshoareco-20&amp;url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;linkId=CIEEJ3JATEFIHTRT" target="_blank"><em>Since The Accident</em></a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=hiddshoareco-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> and the wonderful video for the song shares a similarly experimental process to that of the music thanks to the video synthesizer magic of <a class="zem_slink" title="Stephen Jones (musician)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Jones_%28musician%29" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Stephen Jones</a>. Check out this <a title="A Million Angels Music Video" href="http://vimeo.com/45357552" target="_blank">great re-telling</a> of how the video for the track came to be from Tom Ellard <a title="A Million Angels" href="http://vimeo.com/45357552" target="_blank">here</a>.
