Ibiza Experience

Summary: better then terrible
Review: If you have yet to go to Ibiza you might find this DVD slightly entertaining... assuming you like pixelated 1970's effects applied to stock party footage, mixed with footage of people looking bored as they eat or sleep. In my opinion it is a dis-service to the most magic place on this earth. A place full of diverse and wonderful people, music, and scenery - something this dvd fails to convey. The most frustrating and surprising thing about this DVD is that begining to end the footage is destroyed by the most horrble and garish color "effect" that also manages to ruin the image quality. I honestly thought my DVD player was not playing it properly, so I tried it on a friends which produced the same results. The music would have been great about 10 years ago but does the modern/current sound of Ibiza no justice. It should be retitled Ibiza Vs. Atari. Unfortunatly Atari wins...

And another thing, it was so dissapointing that when I go back next summer I'm taking a video camera. Look for my DVD next year.

As an artist I have to give props to the package design, the only reason I gave it 2 stars...

E-mail me if ya want info on Ibiza, it really is an amazing place. (current e-mail can be found at my personal site digitalcrafter.com)

Summary: Don't buy it - annoying videos, no flow
Review: This is the worst DVD I have ever seen. I went to Ibiza twice in the past two years, and thought investing in this would allow me to see some of the places and relive some of the memories. The graphics are horrible - they've used some sort of camera effects so everything is blurry. They leave a big title in the bottom right of the screen and it jumps around a great deal. I could barely even see any of Space during the first video. The songs have no flow from one to another, so if you were playing it for entertainment at a party, for example, the faster beat song would only last a few minutes before the very chilled song comes next. So, this DVD really serves no purpose. You can't seem much of Ibiza, the songs have nothing in common beat-wise, and the graphics make it not even worth wanting to watch. I threw it in the trash and moved on to Fatboy Slim's Brighton Beach, Paul Van Dyk's Global, Underworld's Everything, or just went back to CDs. This DVD's not worth it.
