Customer Reviews
successful single release,in 2005. Now their first DVD is a clever compilation of tour documentary,live shows,BBC studio
sessions and an online AOL session,plus a 16-page booklet containing nearly 100 photos of the band's travels during their
first year on the road.
I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD,which will appeal particularly to
the 16-30 year age group (and hopefully older mark, who will recall that other groundbreaking art rock band of the 70s,Roxy Music,who may have been a romantically-inclined influence on the
band.) Furthermore,when the Beatles started out,they had the same jokey approach and look what it did for them!
Paul Smith has the necessary charisma for a memorable frontman,
Duncan Lloyd provides the harmonious and melodic guitar accompaniment,Lukas Wooller is moody on keyboards,Archis Tiku
provides a solid bass and Tom English is the band's backbone
on drums.
As Paul Smith quotes during a voiceover commentary in Brighton
"We're not crack demons or weirdos,we're just ordinary people,"
a description of the band which comes as refreshing in this day and age,with its uncertain future for the younger generation.
Maximo's intelligent and well-balanced approach in their songs
and lyrics are sometimes perceived as too harmless,I feel,for their own good(I don't mean that unkindly!... Read more ›
The Brixton Academy gig video is amazing. The sound is the major winner here, in amazing quality 5.1 surround sound which sounds absolutely stunning considering it's a live gig. There are currently some clips from the Brixton gig on the MTV Overdrive website if you want to check it out before buying. The video is a little grainy due to the low light, but that's probably to be expected from a live gig DVD like this.
I was at the gig at the Newcastle Carling Academy which is on the DVD. The atmosphere there was amazing, but the DVD really doesn't show the true excitment of Maximo Park playing their biggest gig yet in their home region. It's recorded in black and white and looks as if it's been done with remote controlled cameras, with very sudden and often uncontrolable camera movements trying to track Paul around the stage. So overall the Newcastle video is a bit of a disappointment, but could have potentially been fantastic if the video and sound quality were improved.
On the other hand the BBC Sessions CD is amazing, it's really interesting to hear the band in such good quality acoustic studio environment. The acoustic version of Natalie Imbruglia's 'Shiver' is stunning.
There's also a self-made documentary entitled 'Found on Film' which follows the band around.... Read more ›
the 2 live performances are edited and filmed very very well and as the band are so intense and incredible live it really is amazing to watch.
the found on film tour documentary really stands out to me, it's not false and just them preparing speeches for the camera. it seems real and it's just about them being who they are and doing what they do. it gives more insight on the band and you can see they are truely passionate about what they do.
i could talk forever about this but i will stop.
seriously, buy this. you can't go without seeing it.
Wish they would release more recent DVD's, ie the Newcastle Metro arena gig!
Maybe they'll have more stuff out with the new forthcoming album!
