Sordidman,Which Crystal Method? The Legion of Boom? Are you referring the DVD-A release of it?
What's on the Air disc? Any live stuff or mainly videos?
Speaking of bonus DVD's...
The Husky Rescue release includes a bonus DVD.
I'm mainly looking for live/performance stuff. I've always been disappointed in video releases. The picture quality is usually poor IMO. For example, the Duran Duran DVD video release is awful. It looks like the recorded the videos off of MTV. I have the Chemical Brothers one as well. While not as bad as DD, it isn't great.
Have you heard the new Royksopp? I tried to start a thread about it further down but no one replied. I like it but it is not like their first release. It is much more uptempo.
Follow Ups:
I got both the new Husky Rescue and Royksopp. I really liked the new Royksopp but sold Husky Rescue.I hear you on the video thing. I just have a little TV now. But I did like the Dead Can Dance, - TTW video. I am due to get some Bjork as well. I saw some snippets of one of her live performances on DirectV that I really enjoyed and want to acquire.
I found the Husky Rescue to sound American Indy: a sound that is small. Just my opinion, - but that Indy-rock-college-radio minimal, "I'm a super cool young art poet" is tired and over for me. Meat Puppets, Galaxie 500, Guided by Voices, - all of those Americans thinking small and sounding small. A big difference between bands like Nirvana, Husker Du, and even huge Brit bands that started in small clubs, - but never intended to be small, always, they sounded HUGE and wanted to be huge, = Simple Minds, Iggy, Gang of Four, U2 etc, etc. etc.
REM/Lets Active etc. are other small bands, where their best songs are covers. Peter Buck's greatest contribution to music history was working in a record store and finding the song Superman to cover, goodness knows he can't play a guitar to save his life....
OOh ouch... sorry for the rant... just don't like US bands....
Sorry, can't get into Husky, - complete with steel guitar, second only to the banjo for the world's most annoying instrument....Anyways, - I did appreciate the tips though.
I don't know if the Kraftwerk will be releasing a DVD to coincide with the SACD release of Minimum Maximum. I heard snippets of Minimum Maximum and I'm waiting for the SACD before I get it. But, - I really liked what I heard....
Cheers,

I've got a 50" DLP, believe me poor video is very obvious. The DCD is not bad, but quite soft. Perhaps the LD looked better, but I haven't had a LD player in years.The Bjork stuff is quite good. I've got the Shepeards Bush performance.
For shear sound and video quality the Eagles - Hell Freezes Over DVD would win out, but that doesn't really fit with the theme of the board. Fitting more along the lines of the music here would be the Underworld live DVD. Good sound and video quality. There is even a alternate angle that is basically all of the visuals shown at the concerts.
Ooh...I forgot one. The Moby DVD he released about 1-2 years ago. It is worth it for the remixes that are on it set to cool visuals. Fischerspooner - #1 also came with a awesome bonus DVD. It included videos, remixes and the entire album in surround.
I hear you on the Husky Rescue. I like it, but yeah it is definitely indie sounding.
I tell you what I've been getting into recently is a lot of the deep ambient stuff like Steve Roach and Robert Rich among others. To bad they don't have DVD's. I think Roach might, but it would probably not be something locally available.
the other eve.I have to get more too. But, - been spending a fortune having to pull stuff in from Amazon UK. I've made all my friends in London mad, bonkers, whacky, inundating them with 40 million CD requests....

Awesome stuff.I have Steve Roach Halcyon Days and Body Electric and want more. (Body Electric is a bit repetitive). Similarly, Sounds from the Ground are good too, - I have "Terra Firma" and "Kin."
Might want to check out Stephan Micas, - "Garden of Mirrors" is good.
I'm trying to score Jon Hopkins' "Opalescent" but can't find a reasonably priced copy.
Where can i get that Bjork performance. The Portished video is good, - I can't attest to the video quality, - but the show is great: Live at Roseland I believe.

I have the Portishead, I just forgot to mention it. The video quality on that one doesn't bother me as the look is intentional.I've listened to some Sounds From The Ground. They play lots of it on the Starstreams radio show. You ever listen to that?
If I am not mistaken, the guy who produces the show is also the owner of Waveform Records.
From Roach I have the following: Halcyon Days, Kiva, Space and Time, On This Planet, Mystic Chords and Sacred Spaces, Midnight Moon, and Streams and Currents. The last three are mainly treated guitar. Not quite the same as the other stuff.
Have you heard the one with Roach (or is it Rich) and Lustmord? I am also interested in his collaboration with Vidna Obmana.
Is it available online?
Wow, - that's a lot from Roach, which is your favorite? "Body Electric" has Vir Unis.I guess that I have to break down and pay the big dollars for the Art of Noise SACD. I'll look into the Bjork as well.
Dzihan and Kamian's "Fakes" as well as Jon Hopkins, "Opalescent" Ada's "BLondie" and Abed Azrie's "Suerte" are high on my list right now, - none seem to be available in the USA....
I am curious about the Simple Minds DVD, - but don't want to pay too much, - and I don't want to pay too much if they're being all "Hollywood." Mel Gaynor, (drummer), has always been a big influence though....
Cheers T,

Thought I'd throw in - like I actually know something, for once.
