Great EP, awful DVD. June 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
OK lets get the positive stuff done. 4 Stars for the excellent CD EP, its worth buying for this alone, all the tracks are really strong and well recorded, including the demos and live tracks, a brilliant addition to the back catalogue.....
The down side is that the DVD is awful, ok I admit I only managed to watch about 22mins of the full hour. Its really well shot and has some lovely images... so maybe turn the sound off and listen to the EP instead whilst watching it.
Unfortunately its very very pretentious, lots of random shots and sounds, almost like a ponderous ambient track, when there is some speaking its so low in the mix and covered by muzak that its too difficult to hear. And whats being said not very interesting.
Why are there so many 'making of' dvd's like this now.... buy this for the EP and leave the DVD in the sleeve
I know this isn't out yet, but... May 18, 2008

I've seen a few of the videos that are going to be on this and I know most of the songs. Mainly I'd like to comment on the director, Vincent Moon. He is particularly pretentious, and will make you very aware of the cameraman's presence, but he does bring out a certain honesty in the artists he covers. Rather than filming it simply he will attempt to be 'cinematic' on the fly - and it nearly never works. He does find some rather wonderful locations, both visually and acoustically, but then he bumps up the contrast and ruins the look.
But I can say for sure that there'll be a bunch of amazing songs on here, I for one will take as many versions of About Today as they care to make, but if you're reading this and you're new to the band, buy boxer instead, as this is more of a vignette on that.
