This hypnotic, dazzling video is the preview edit of the "15 Minute Exorcise” cassette/VHS by Brooklyn's Prince Rama looks like a whimsical psych paraphrase of the '80s aerobic VHS. Containing superimposed and cross-dissolved images of mountains and foggy exercise shots, Prince Rama's Taraka & Nimai Larsen deliver quasi-rapped instructions over beats to bring listeners to a transcendental state of ecstasy. The vid is a physical manifestation of their three-month artist residency at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, where they "explored the link between music and utopia" via multimedia performance. Produced by Julian Bozeman of Quiet Hooves, this limited release of 100 copies will include an instructional VHS with an audio cassette, the A-side accompanies the VHS and the B-side includes the exorcise instructions. "Good! You look great!" --Coco Zoabi, International Tapes
