Reviews


review by: DBSilverThis DVD assembles a number of early era progressive videos onto DVD for the first time. These video's and the associated audio range in sound and picture quality from fair to 'not too bad'.

The bulk of the videos come from TV shows on Rai Uno and Rai Tre. With some bands there are only a single video while with others there are more than one. All of the videos are black & which except for the videos for The Trip - the first of which is an early attempt at the concept of a music video instead of just showing the band playing. Also the New Trolls video is in color.

I particulary want to note that one of the Formula 3 performances include on drums Stevie Wonder. Yes the very same blind african-american Stevie Wonder normally associated with dark glasses and a piano and yes,- he is playing the drums. And not too shabby a job either as the track includes even a spot for him to do a drum solo.

This is a DVD you put on for entertainment, not to get deep into the music and it is also not a DVD that I can recommend or not recommend. If you want videos of Italian Prog bands from this era then you don't have much of an option. My own litmus test would be that at less than $20 it is a worthwhile purchase if you don't mind that fact that after your first play it will spend most of it's time decorating your DVD Shelf and only come down for that rare occasion..
