Psychedelic animated music videos and stuff from Canada and eastern europe. Does anyone remember one in particular which was about 6/7 mins long and was some green "alien" moving through space to some 70s style music and multicoloured planets etc.. And sure any others for the craic!

Something to look at while waiting for the bloody film to start. At a trip to the cinema recently I even got a bit nostalgic for it. It looked a bit like this...only on the screen it was much bigger and of course, rectangular.
