Rating: Summary: The Shango Tour of 2001 Review: I have the Japanese version too, got it some years ago. It is a great disc to have because the live performance is really special with the African drummers and percussionists. They are great. The computer animation and effects are on every track and some times the quality of the picture is not so good. Othertimes the effects are pretty nice. So that is why I give it 4 stars. There are also some pictures on the DVD. It is also in 5 channel surround sound.....
Rating: Summary: So THAT is Juno Reactor. Review: Just got the tokyo version for the DVD from their label, metropolis records. I had no problem playing it R1 NTSC. I knew that Juno had awesome rhythm, I guess my old assumption was that complex looping was handled by computer. This DVD changed all that. It is really astonishing to see. You can see them all working in amazing complex harmony. Drum heaven. The missing star is because there is no focus on the crowd, (duh, it's Tokyo hello? Show us the cute crowd at least once.) Also there is some cheesy screen overlap of computer editing like ocean scenes and whooshy stuff. I would prefer to just sit and be a part of the drums, crowd, and performance. This is a must for fans, it provides definition for the group.
