The attempt to illustrate the song "Thunderstorm" by Yello Is daring after beginning softly, almost inau- dibly, the music swells pompously and powerfully, to then relapse into filigree patterns and then surge up again.

It uses elements of nature, some as real images, some as computer generated ones, and mixes them with space-like elements from the computer. A flight through outer space and over the earth, occasionally bordering on kitsch, a tendency, which is, however, then broken immediately.
