CIRCUIT Music Journal 1

Summary: Revolution on a disc
Review: Reading about rock music has always seemed somewhat incongruous. Traditional music rags have always put a filter between the reader and the music, but those days are over. Now with this new DVD music mag you get to meet your favorite bands in their own words and music without relying on some rock critic's jaded prose. Meet Beck, shot in stunning black and white, interviewed by the ultimate interviewing machine - a Hal-like computer - as he gives a glimpse into his twisted artistic ways. Spend some time with Dayton, Ohio's most prolific export Guided by Voices as they make a convincing case of the benefits of being a big fish in a small pond. Hang out with the Cardigans as they learn to bowl ... These are the kind of intimate artist profiles you just won't find anywhere else. And then there's the videos, the alternate tracks ... the insane clarity of it all. The future is now.
