Music reviews of Grides (W/Dvd)
Music Review: Pretty good audio, but the DVD footage has a choppy digital look. Why?
Rating: 3 Stars
I really wanted to see this DVD footage in top form, as I had a bootleg videotape version of this footage. But i noticed their DVD version has a noticeably distracting digital choppy look, like an internet video that's been compressed at a lower than optimal sample rate. My original 70's bootleg version of this footage, while less than perfect to say the least, was smooth and did not have any digital choppiness of course. So how could they let the digital choppiness get thru on this? Also, they digitally edited some things out. Originally, superimposed text saying SOFT MACHINE as the players names would fade in over the footage, but they took it out on the DVD. No big deal losing that, as it covered up the playing, but I seem to remember that some of the background "psychedelic" images were different in the original too, and I'm all for authenticity. But my big gripe is the digital choppiness makes this look like an internet video rather than the real 70's film footage it is. I have other DVD's with many of these 70's radiobremen/musikladen/beatclub videos by other early 70's groups, and they are all perfectly smooth and not digital looking, so why couldnt cunieform get it right with this footage? I hope they redo it someday. And I hope any other DVD's they make come without the digital choppiness. I emailed the company about this, and all they said was "then enjoy your bootleg". oh well. Am I asking too much to not see digital artifacts that I know should not be there? I really wanted to see this footage in it's glory, looking perfectly analog like I know it should have. sorry to be a nitpicking complainer.
