I wasn't saying that the video is necessary, just pointing out that the 
video is as energetic as the song on its own. And while the video might 
not be absolutely needed to aid comprehension, sometimes it helps one 
heck of a lot... "Cloudbusting" and "Experiment IV" stand out in my mind 
- could you have imagined "The Thing" in the latter video?
