Summary: Cool!
Review: This is a pretty cool video. Great animation, with cool images. It ranges from simple stuff, like a hornet chasing a smaller insect through a forest, to weird stuff, like the "Too Far" soda thing. Bear in mind that there's no point to any of this, other than for you to go "wow, that's pretty cool". They're really more like music videos than stories. You may be able to make a story out of some of it, but it's mostly just a lot of weirdness. The key thing, don't think about it too hard, just enjoy it. Jan Hammer's no musical genius, but his compositions add to the coolness of it all. By the way, this is a sequel, the first was called "The Mind's Eye", but I've never seen it. From what I've heard, I don't think it's as good. I apologize if anything I've said about this video was inaccurate, but I haven't seen it in a couple of years, I just was thinking about it a while back, and decided to review it. I'll have to check it out again some time. In conclusion, this may be weird, but it's undeniably cool, so check it out. I guarantee you've never seen anything like it.

Summary: Very good fun
Review: This is an enjoying DVD to sit down and watch for 45 min. The music is also very excellent. For the price, this is an excellent demo DVD to show your friends how good DVD really is. I also own "The Gate...Eye" but this one is far superb. If you like computer animation, you will like this DVD.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This is one of the original in the Mind's Eye series and it is _STILL_ the overall best. While the animations might look slightly dated, the quality of the work is all top-notch, mostly taken from commercial CG outfits like PDI, Symbolics, Alias, Robert Abel & Associates, BUF, Mental Images, etc. The animations are brilliantly arranged to flow into each other cohesively and form something resembling a storyline or concept. You do not get the impression that you are watching a bunch of disjointed pretty pictures as in the videos that followed. Jan Hammer's music score is really the best part of this DVD. The score follows the imagery and scene changes perfectly, and Hammer is truely a master of evoking mood through exotic scales and nuance. He is most known for his catchy music for Miami Vice, but anyone familiar with his Mahavishnu Orchestra and Jeff Beck days knows he is also one of the most influential jazz fusion keyboardists of all time. This is a must whether or not you are a computer animation fan. Bad Points: Low quality video transfer to DVD. Corny bonus video.

Summary: Wonderful blend of Music and Graphics
Review: What can I say? I saw the Oddysey of the Mind's Eye at a friend's house and went to look for it at the video store. They didn't have it so I go the nearest thing (just happened to be the sequel) and it turned out to be much better. First of all, the graphics are collected from a wide array of various companies and individuals. They are then, in many circumstances, blended into a single story. All the while in the backround, the music of Jan Hammer flows perfectly coordinated to the visuals. It is simply a wonderful combination of graphics and music. Sit back and let your senses be awed.

Summary: A Computer Animation Fantasia
Review: Wow, if you love computer animation, this is the series for you. Consider it as a high tech version of Fantasia with an amazing soundtrack by Jan Hammer. The collection features the best computer animated shorts and segments (for 1992 that is) including scenes from "The Lawnmower Man" synchronized to Hammer's electronic score. This DVD includes the bonus music video for the "Seeds of Life" single and is a must have for Jan Hammer fans. Seek out the other titles in the collection, but start with this one. A modern audio visual experience in 100% digital stereo.
