Director Edouard Salier's video for Massive Attack's downbeat jam "Splitting the Atom" starts out as a vaguely hypnotic CGI dreamscape, sort of like the techno clips MTV used to air on its late, lamented video show "Amp". But after a while, the details reveal themselves and you realize you're watching some monstrous shit. Watch the video below or at Pitchfork.tv.

If you have a Twitter account, you can check out all of the videos from Massive Attack's new album Heligoland (out next week on Virgin) at this site, a sort of Twitter theater. When you sign up, or when you watch a video, it'll send a tweet out.
