In any case, the only relevant content in the video appears to be text slogans (which are being presented at a rate the user cannot easily control). I'd say plain text fallback was the most appropriate. You can't achieve the psychological effect of the music in description, and the music is only there for that reason. (Personally I'd consider the examples of the text given as not being content either, as the video doesn't seem to contain anything to support them.)
