Also efficiency of movement in the video if that counts, too. One of the better KEXP-find "where has this been all my life?" finds earlier this year.

The chorus is in French and English, and you can catch yourself swapping between languages as you listen.

This piece is the backing for a meditation by former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on the role of the American military-industrial complex in the creation of the atomic bomb. Thoroughly mid-century in mood, it's a reflection of the darker side of efficiency.
