Great Collection Of Blue Man!
Some people deride the Blue Man Group for not being musicians or not
making "music". Well, the music may be rather percussive in nature and
somewhat different, but it's still music. It's music that kicks a$$! Many of
the songs start off somewhat quiet and build in intensity as they go. If you
start listening to it loud it will be really loud before long and those dynamics
really add to the emotion of the music. BMG makes heavy use of a number
of drumming type instruments that are largely their own inventions, but this
album also makes use of a number of string instruments including baritone
guitar, bass, zither and others. The combination makes for some very
interesting music. This is an instrumental album but don't let that dissuade
you. You will want a full 5.1 system with a good sub to really enjoy this.
The DVD has a DVD-audio side that would need to be played on a DVD-
audio player. If you don't know what this is then you probably don't have
one (although some players from a few years back incorporated DVD-A
and SACD so check your manual but it would still need to be connected to
a 6 channel in on a compatible receiver). The disc also has a regular Dolby
digital DVD side as well that will play in any DVD player. I haven't listened
to that side yet but based on past experience it's probably not that
dissimilar to the DVD-a side. There isn't any video with the music but they
do show some still photos from the concerts. There is also a short video
discussing a bit of the history of the BMG and some other short extras like
text entries on some of the instruments.
If you have any interest in the Blue Man Group, I highly recommend this
album. It's quite energetic and fun and good music as well. If you know
nothing about them, you still might enjoy this - especially if you like things a
bit different and especially percussive. Overall, a good buy.
