This is truly mind blowing. War between the retros (led by Noel Fielding) and the futurists (led by The Pod). The idea was that Julian Barratt's character has a dream in which all the retro britpop type bands take over the country and ban all things techno and futuristic. The Pod are forced into hiding but eventually they take back the country in a brutal and violent revolution in what is clearly a totally justified war of retribution. A new city of dreams is created from the ashes of London. Not prescient in anyway, but definitely utterly utterly deranged. I am in awe of my younger self who spent so much time making something so completely freakish.

The Pod - Indie
Some early Julian, circa 1997-1998. The Pod is a partially animated TV series he did with friend Tim Hope about a fictional techno band called The Pod. It's a good example of Julian's early work (reminds me a bit of his work in Asylum) where he demonstrates his skill at expatiation.
