Two Worlds Collide is Michel's second venture into English promos. The Inspiral Carpets are a band from Oldham, England, once housed on Mute Records. Two Worlds Collide, from their third album Revenge of the Goldfish, is a bit of an anthem. It was also the Carpets' biggest hit, thanks to the loud-and-proud chorus, "What have I done with my life? Is this the end, when two worlds collide?"
Gondry places the boys amidst an apocalypse. Through most of the clip, they're playing inside a rather large, Kubrickian space station airlock, which was made extra long thanks to the technology of the day. Outside, everything on the Earth is a negative of its real self. A very large planet looms over the cityscape. Armageddon is here, and Tom Hingley sings us the death knell.
Nevertheless, the Carpets jump out of the airlock and explore Earth for one last time. The video ends on a straight shot of the long airlock, lights flickering.
A decidedly modest English video for Gondry, who was still trying to prove his ability to record companies in 1992. (It's not until a year later that Björk calls him up.) But it directed him to a bigger deal a year later for a man with two international hits: Lenny Kravitz.
The video is available on the 1995 VHS-PAL release The Singles, as well as on the PAL format DVD included in the Cool As package, released in the UK in 2003 by Mute.
