Synopsis
Lou Reed's TRANSFORMER, his second album after the breakup of the Velvet Underground, has garnered a reputation as one of the best albums of the 1970s, and for good reason. A cohesive album whose more obscure tracks such as "Andy's Chest" and "Goodnight Ladies" hold up well against popular classics like "Satellite of Love" and "Walk on the Wild Side," TRANSFORMER easily ranks with BERLIN and ROCK AND ROLL ANIMAL as one of Reed's most impressive post-VU accomplishments. This documentary takes a track by track look at the making of the record with both Mr. Reed and his engineer Ken Scott poring over the original multi-tracks for the album. Additionally, there is archival footage of the Velvet Underground, an interview with the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart and a discussion with bassist Herbie Flowers about the origins of the famous bassline for "Walk on the Wild Side."

5.0 out of 5 stars A breathtaking retrospective of Lou Reed's classic album, 7 Mar 2002
By A Customer
For a Lou reed fan, this is a rare treat to see how the Transformer album was made track by track, with documentary input by all concerned (musicians and technicians) and new acoustic versions of key tracks performed by Lou. It's great to hear Bowie, Mick Ronson, Herbie Flowers and others describe the working environment around the making of the album, and Lou'd temperamental idiosyncracies. The material is detailed enough for hard-core fans but sufficiently general as to be a virtual time-capsule of the early 70s for fans of the era. Above all, it's amusing! - it's really funny to watch Lou back in the studio poring over the master tapes, offering up anecdote after anecdote. As for the scenes with the original Walk on the Wild Side characters, Little Joe and Holly, they are hilarious! The dvd comes with added bonus interviews so it's worth the extra couple of pounds.
