Yeah, that Warp video compilation is amazing.  Pretty much anything by 
Chris Cunningham or Michel Gondry from that era was fun to mindblowing.

Granz Graf is my ATF.  Wish I could find it in true 1080p, not just 
upscaled SD.  I'd love to know how much of this was generated from the 
same upstream source as the music, vs emulated afterwards.

We Have Explosive holds up as a sort of Keith Haring on acid play:

There was a VHS tape put out for the Orb's Adventures Beyond the 
Ultraworld, which someone has encoded and put on Youtube, at least the 
latter 3/4ths of it, that I for some reason really like:

Orbital's "The Box" was pretty arty:

I know the above are practically Top 40, but nothing was as accessible 
(and still pretty era- and genre-defining) as Bjork's All Is Full Of Love

And I forgot about DHS's "House of God" video til just now!

Hexstatic used to have a lot of fun with videos and sampling:

OK, pulling out of the rabbit hole,
