This is perfect to show off your 5.1 sound system to Petrolhead friends. Brilliant. Love it! Oh, and it probably captures the 24hr du Mans quite well too...

Speed Tribe
14 Aug 2002
Speedtribe is an audio-visual album created by digital filmmakers Sharon Matarazzo and Rod Chong in collaboration with legendary electronica producers of Front 242 Daniel Bressanuti and Patric Codenys. Put simply it is a record of last years Lemans race set to music.
First impressions- very slick and professional looking, great colours with spectacular audio. Then, when you watch for a second and third time with a critical eye as I did before writing this, you realize just how much thought and sheer artistic talent has gone into each and every frame. I can honestly say that you could freeze the thing at any point and have yourself a superb image to grace any gallery wall. Plenty of clever special effects, and Rod has woven some footage from the PC game Sports Car GT into his film, chasing down the straight through the spray at night. This would look great on a cinema screen.
The rain last year was a nightmare for the teams but a filmmaker's gift. Great shots of high-speed clouds rolling in behind the Dunlop Bridge and sheets of rain sweeping the track. I began to wonder how Rod got some of those angles without being run over!
If Britney and S Club are your musical bag you might not like the soundtrack. I love it but then I have twiddled a synth knob or two myself in the past. The music really compliments the visuals in a big way and of course there is another tune I guarantee you will enjoy, Lemans cars howling down the Mulsanne. The sound sweeps across the speakers in a great surround-sound way so turn it up and to hell with the neighbours!
All in all, this is a brilliant piece of work. Not sure if the makers will like me saying this but it has a definite feel of the Steve McQueen movie brought bang up to date. Good stuff!

this simply is an amazing piece of art! front 242 fans should not even think twice about buying this. perfectly captured video from the le mans 24 hour race, accompanied by the magic of patrick codenys and daniel b. from the packaging to the overall presentation, speed tribe is perfect. this should be shown to students of music, photography, production, and computer generated imagery as an example of excellence.

What an experience!
17 Oct 2002
What can I say? Just slapped it straight into the DVD, turned on the big screen, cranked up the stereo and WOW!!!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!
Any self-respecting person who claims to enjoy the Le Mans experience must, must, must get a copy. If they don't own a DVD player, they should just go and get one, no questions asked! I have never had such a spine-tingling sensation for so long - the atmosphere is just mega!!!
Can't believe I took so long to decide to order a copy!
