There's a big difference between this video and Mir-O: Mir-O does it
realtime and without studio processing. Period. He can do it live. 

David Ford has the big advantage over most of us (including e.g. Reyn
Ouwenhand, whose EDP video is, to me, far more impressing) because he plays
a song with lyrics, and, to paraphrase David Byrne, lyrics are used to make
people listen to pop songs longer than they would ordinarily do.

Rick: what is in this performance of David Ford that e.g. aforementioned
Reyn does not have - except for the lead vocals? I've never heard you rave
on about such banal kind of music.
