Today’s video of the day is Greater Than One – "Black Magic" released in 1989.
“Black Magic” by Greater Than One appeared in 1989 on their album G-Force. The music video was created from projections used during their live shows, giving fans a direct glimpse into the band’s immersive performances. Today, these videos and recordings are available through Brainwashed Archives, preserving the group’s unique vision. Greater Than One formed in 1985 when Michael Wells and Lee Newman began experimenting with electronic sound and multimedia art. Based in England, the duo stood out for combining visuals, performance, and industrial-inspired rhythms. Their work often crossed boundaries, moving between experimental electronic and techno.
G-Force, the album featuring “Black Magic,” represented their shift toward structured electronic compositions. Earlier works leaned more on sound collage and avant-garde experimentation. This record connected their raw industrial roots with the more dance-driven tracks that followed. It bridged their early underground material with later club-oriented releases. The song “Black Magic” embodies this transition. It keeps their experimental edge while layering pulsing beats and hypnotic textures. The video enhances this mood with stark imagery, a trademark of Greater Than One’s live presence. These visuals reinforced the band’s reputation as both musicians and visual artists.
Greater Than One also recorded under many aliases, including Tricky Disco, GTO, Church of Extacy, and Technohead. While some projects achieved commercial success, their core output remained experimental and uncompromising. After Lee Newman’s passing in 1995, Michael Wells continued creating music under several of these names, keeping their legacy alive.
