Here's the original full-length album version of the song from 1996.

There's another video of the same guy and the uploader says it was filmed on Cornmarket street in Oxford.

I can't see this video because I'm at work but I just wanted to say that Insomnia is one of my favorite songs and I love Faithless so thank you for posting this. I will watch it tonight.

There was a time in my life when people would have put good money on me growing old playing spoons to rave tracks by the side of the road. But somehow it didn't pan out. And he's a /lot/ better at it than I would ever have been.

99% certain that I saw this guy in Cambridge last weekend. Or the weekend before. He's not bad... :)

He's 37 -- he's not old.

I can't even hold a spoon properly. This guy rocks at spoons. And Faithless.

For some reason, I feel this man should go on tour with PWEI and Alan Moore's band.

I was gonna say the same thing (despite not knowing his age.) He just looked like a prematurely gray guy with a big beard to me. Turns out he's twenty years younger than I am.
