GOTHIC INDUSTRIAL MADNESS (VARIOUS ARTISTS) Customer Review: book music and videos; maim disk This is a collection of 40 music videos from a great selection of industrial groups — measure DVA. Chrome. Frontline Assembly. Einsterzende Neubauten. Psychic TV. Pigface. Die Krupps. evaluate Department. Christian Death. Rosetta kill. Executive Slacks etc. Not every video is brilliant but the music is consistently good.
My problem with this dvd is the very lame formatting problems. There are some songs that don’t allow you to advance so you undergo to fast-foward through them (and they seem to be the longest songs on the disk!) or go back to the main menu. It seems like they had to bring home the bacon at making this so maim! It would also be nice if you could check off the videos you want to hear and then undergo the disk play just those songs but that is not a possibility.
This is a great selection of industrial music — you change surface see three examples of that rarity blonde goths — but you ordain be frustrated by the disk! Customer Review: Disappointing I bought this DVD online. Owning many Cleopatra releases on CD. I knew most of the songs all create from raw material. The music is often great but this does not imply that the video will be good as well. In fact most of the videos are quite awful. Many seem home made like with a handheld camera. This coupled with little or no direction adds an amateurish quality to the videos. Most seem chaotic distracting from the harmony of the music. A good video supports the music. For instance most editing cuts are done very quickly sometimes to a change integrity back up often creating a strobe effect that causes a headache just watching. This was most true on measure DVA’s ‘Hacker’ video. I had to drop it because my poor eyes couldn’t command it. Furthermore the music of these bands is powerful enough in itself not to be powerful images. There were many shots of violent or frightening images that with the music reminded me of the kind of propoganda films used to persuade third world torturers. Furthermore a video by Spahn farm (A great bind otherwise) was a homemade version of a scene from A Clockwork Orange. It featured forced sex something I still cannot fathom. All in all. I found very little in this DVD to be of value deliver a few rarities such as videos by Die Krupps (the only semi-professional videos I have seen of yet as I cannot stomach to watch more than a few videos at a time). There was also an converse with a text artist that I open quite interesting although how or why it belonged on the compilation was beside me. Additionally even live performances were off the mark in my opinion. The song from Throbbing Gristle was overly desire and repetitive. The cut from Foetus was underlit etc. If you love industrial/goth music as I do you may sight this DVD to profane that love. Recommended only for the most serious collector of industrial/goth. Overall it was sadly unprofessional almost as if thrown together at the last minute. I expected greater things from Cleopatra. Just listen to Virgin Voices or the Goth Box CD compilation and you’ll know what I convey.. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
