Summary: Don't Invest Your Time Or Your Money
Review: 'Sound & Motion' is a collection of music videos that features some of the biggest names in Electronica today. It starts out with two of the year's biggest tracks, 'Block Rockin Beats' by the Chemical Brothers and 'The Rockefellar Skank' by Fatboy Slim. The 4th video 'Simple Man' by Josh Wink is extremely entertaining, followed by the pulse-pounding track 'Busy Child' by Crystal Method. By the time you reach 'Poison' by the Prodigy, you'd be thinking that this DVD has real potential.However, it's the 6th video all the way up to the Underworld video (that's 6-14) that is reason to give 'Sound & Motion' a low score of two stars. This is where the viewer slips into the Jungle/Drum & Bass slot, and these music videos are the absolute worst. The Goldie track is extremely stale, the Photek's 'Ni Ten Ichi Ryu' is highly miss-able, Talvin Singh's music video is downright annoying, and I've never been a fan of Roni Size. The Dieselboy w/Technical Itch video is the only Jungle track on here that is tolerable. Then it's the last video, 'Future of the Future (Stay Gold)' by Deep Dish and Everything But The Girl that helps to redeem this colossal mess of a video compilation. If you want to get my honest opinion, don't invest your time or your money in 'Sound & Motion'. I know it sounds harsh, but I mean it when I say that this is a giant mess. There's too much of an imbalance between good tracks ('Block Rockin Beats', 'Busy Child','Poison', 'Future of the Future') and bad tracks ('Temper Temper', 'Jaan', 'Superthruster'). The teardown comes from the Jungle/Drum & Bass tracks, and although there is some GREAT Jungle music out there, these ones just don't cut it. My philosophy is that if the songs are bad, there's no way you'll want to be sitting through the video. I think if a 'Sound & Motion 2' is ever planned, the people in charge should definitely do more research on what the audience wants to be seeing. I mean, it is surprising to find no Trance videos on here, and Trance is the most popular style of dance music in the world. Two stars for weak video selection and having little to no bonus features on the DVD. - the enlightened one

Summary: Best sound on a DVD
Review: Besides the perfectly chosen videos, I think what makes this compilation a must have is its amazing sound quality. If you have an AC3 home theater system with this DVD you will know it was worth every penny. Add to this awesome visuals and great concepts (like the backgammon of love life depicted in ebtg's future of the future) and you'll agree with me that this DVD deserves the 5 stars.

Summary: Fun but gets stale
Review: I am getting machine drum nightmares after once around with this one. It's a bit much in one sitting. Sonic and visual it is, but even the worst movies have some storyline.

Summary: Nice collection, but a bit lopsided
Review: I can understand the limited freedom to do a proper collection of eye-catching music videos on DVD due to label and license limitations, but maybe we could have dug a LITTLE bit deeper here? You have the obligatory ChemBros and FatSlim videos, and a nice selection of drum & bass videos which most people would never have seen before (including the nifty Sly & Robbie "Superthruster" video and Goldie's "Temper Temper"), but a little more diversity in electronic music styles would have been nice. Some house, some trance? But for what it is, it's a welcome addition to any music video DVD collection.

Summary: At last, a Music Video collection for the 'wired generation'
Review: If you are a Techno head like myself you might have a hard time tolerating American MTV. The alleged Music Television Network seems to have very little desire to showcase electronic music on the same scale as 'clay combat' or so called 'reality shows.' But this DVD shows that there is more out there than boy bands and bimbo blonde teenagers. This collection of various industrial, drum & bass and house is a refreshing look into the world of electronic music. I have seen here how people have called the content less than ground breaking. Let's face it though, the fact that it exists at all has broken some new ground. Have you seen any other DVDs like this one? I have looked pretty hard and have yet to find another. The musical content is interestingly eclectic. From "Fat Boy Slim" to "Diesel Boy" you can see a fairly decent cross section of the electronic music scene at large. Don't expect to be blown away, it is not epic making, but it is well worth having if you want to add something different to your collection. Ever since I got me DVD player I have looked for ways to maximize its potential. DVD is definitely where the future is going, there is little doubt of that, but how can one expand the DVD experience? Well, these music videos seem to be an unlikely answer but it works well. The high fidelity digital output sure does make the videos fun to watch and a new way to disturb the neighbors. If you want to try something really wild you can put this DVD on when entertaining for some light background visual and audio. At my last party it was an interesting conversation piece. But what do I know? Check it out for yourself and make your own determination of its value. :)

Summary: Rocks My Monkey
Review: Pretty cool disc, my funk soul brutha. Some great tunes on here, and some good tunes on here. The Mothership has to be SUPERTHRUSTER though, which has a fine sound split across the 6 audio tracks. I love that track. This disc finds its way into my DVD player more than most.
