The Best of Kitaro

Rating:
Summary: Heaven and Earth Movements
Review: 200 years from now, as they look back on 20th Century composer/keyboard artists, they will be looking at (and researching) Kitaro, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Rick Wakeman (like we do Beethoven and Mozart). In their research they will find vinyl and plastic historical records of artists that transposed reality through their music and video. These men left traces of a history (not only of their times) that is as timeless as the genius that they posess. They create music without mass market appeal, yet recognized some what in it's own time ( but not as much as it will be in the future). The DVD quality is excellent (much better than VHS). The selections are mixed fron various Kitaro concerts and flow together very well for almost two hours of beautiful concert video.The color tones throughout the video concerts are the result of stage lighting (or maybe the other reviewer got a defective DVD). This DVD also contains a rare interview with Kitaro from his home in Boulder, Colorado where he gets much of his inspiration from the natural surroundings of the area.

The DVD quality is excellent (much better than VHS). The selections are mixed from four Kitaro concerts and flow together very well for two hours of concert video. The color tones throughout the video concerts are the result of stage lighting (or maybe the other reviewer got a defective DVD). This DVD also contains a rare interview wih Kitaro from his home.

Summary: very good sound, terrible video
Review: While I'm quite pleased with the sound quality (4 ½ stars) of this DVD, the video quality is pathetic and inexcusable. Even worse than an old movie made in the 1940s. Almost like looking through a haze. The color is so discolored, reddish, yellowish, whatever. It gets progressively worse. When I reached track No. 10, I had a headache and had to turn off the TV. Now, I can only use it as an audio CD. Don't waste your money on this DVD.
