Benga - I Will Never Change by Us

Spin this simple, tactile, wonderfully original visualization of “I Will Never Change” by dubstep virtuoso Benga. Who says vinyl is dead?

DUDE.

The production of records on X-ray film was a dissident practice in the former USSR during the Cold War from 1946 to the early 1960s, viewed as anti-USSR activity and punished by 3-7 years of prison. A master disk was pressed onto already-exposed and heated X-ray film, in order to make a kind of phonographic recording, whose barely visible grooves were etched on skulls, chest cavities, and spinal cords of the Soviet citizens. Until Stalin’s death, “Music on Bones” - as it was referred to in KGB documents and anti-propaganda movies circulated by the Soviet Government - was the only way to gain access to Western hits.

This is probably THE COOLEST thing I have ever seen in a museum… they even had headphones hooked up to listen to the real recordings yourself!
