Advantages: Visual + Audio Showcase of a live session Disadvantages: Could of been more of the show on the 2nd DVD
What an excellent DVD.
Comes in 2 DVD edition, but the 2nd DVD is more the 'Making of' type of thing that you generally get in a 2 DVD set.
The first DVD - is the actual show that went on in Gelredome Arnhem on 29/30th October 2004.
25,000 tickets were sold for this show, one of the largest in the world to attend to watch / listen to just 1 single DJ.
The actual event itself lasted for approx 8 hours, with a cut down 200 mins on the first DVD of the actual show.
If you like DJ Tiesto, then I highly recommend getting this DVD, especially if you have your DVD player linked to your AV Receiver / Surround Sound System, will sound truley amazing.
Go and get yourself a copy from your local store. ...
Advantages: Amazing subject matter, well-handled and excellent characterisation Disadvantages: May be a little long for some - but I didn't want it to end.
This amazing novel had me gripped from the very first line! I'm a massive fan of Sebastian Faulks, but had been put of this novel by reviews which said there were passages which were too long winded and scientific. Lesson one - read it yourself and make your own opinion! This is an incredible book, not quite up there with Birdsong (my favourite book of all time - so far) but still amazing.
I can't describe the story better than Fauks himself so:
"The story begins in the 1870s with the lives of two young men: Jacques Rebière, a peasant's son in Brittany, and Thomas Midwinter, a merchant's son in Lincolnshire. Jacques has a naturally scientific turn of mind, in which he is encouraged by the help of the local priest. He is inspired by his desire to find a cure for the mysterious illness of his elder brother Olivier -- who hears ...
Advantages: Brilliant. Fun. Evocative. A celebration of age and life. Disadvantages: None. That is, unless you don't appreciate brilliant acoustic folk music. Rap fans forget it...
It's a rare thing when you can go home again... The Seekers are a too often underrecognised force in pop music. Supremely talented and driven by the transcendent voice of Judith Durham, they miraculously reunite after 25 years and, get this, are better than ever. Age and perspective brings a subtle maturity and irony to their voices and presentation. Each is gifted in his/her own right and together they create a unique and yes, magical chemistry that defies time and trends. The songs are performed with a passionate affection and respect for the original arrangements and memories. As a special treat, check out their studio album from the late 90s, "Future Road." Sublime in my humble opinion. A welcome relief of harmony, melody and acoustic layers from the synthesized, shallow garbage that pervades pop culture today. ...
