Echolyn - Stars And Gardens Volume 4 DVD Review
Published February 12, 2005
The video was supposedly shot using six, HD, 16mm, BETA SP cameras, but the picture is not very impressive. It is often very shaky and blurry (not purposely). The stage lighting was very minimal, so the picture was somewhat dark and murky. Only a PCM stereo audio mix is provided, but it is excellent. All of the instruments are clear and defined, and the vocals are mixed perfectly. There is an entire extra disk worth of bonus material, which includes band interviews and studio and rehearsal footage from the band's entire career.
If you are not bothered by this ridiculous type of video editing that I have described here, then you should love this DVD, because the music is certainly terrific. For the rest of us, we'll just have to crank up the volume and change the picture to a Simpsons' re-run, or something just as entertaining.

Jesus, you really dislike these guys. But isn't all prog-rock/fusion really self-indulgent?






Self indulgent legends in their own mind hobby crap. Get on with your lives and stop wasting peoples time.
