Be on the lookout for a Video Promotional EPK (Electronic Press Kit) for the new 30th Anniversary 5.1 SACD of DSOTM.
Produced in England (From a Post House called Metropolis),it is a 25
Minute breakdown of the tracks from the album with the use of current
interviews from the band,the standard concert films we all know,and
film footage from the 1973 Superstars footage (Careful with that Axe,
Eugene & Set the Controls) cleverly edited into moments of Breathe
and Us and Them to look like they're singing those songs on film.(Actually
not too badly done I might say!).Dave gives us a demonstration of how
to start an "On the Run" Sequence using his Synthi A,"Any Colour You
Like" is used to bring Storm in to talk about The Album Cover Designs
for 1973,1993 and 2003,and alot of the ideas around each song are
explained.
Some of the interview segments are quick cuts between band members
who finish each others sentences.This is telling me that perhaps alot of
interview time was taped and hopefully that might spawn perhaps a
decent docuementary on the band or the album (A Classic Albums
Show perhaps!!!???).
I would think this would be eventually available on MTV or Muchmusic
in North America.I'm sure you'll see it in th U.K. and Europe as well.
It is for promotion obviously!
I found I cannot FF with the downloaded version I got.
