Miroir Noir [DVD]

deluxe, 13 April 2009

By

The product in the picture is actually a 2 disc version, in beautiful packaging incidentally, the second disc of which is mostly made up of TV appearances. It’s worth getting, especially for the two incendiary Saturday Night Live performances.

The main feature itself has some great moments, but don’t expect any sort of traditional concert film or documentary. There are performances in lifts, rehearsal rooms and studios, answer-phone messages and plenty of grainy stage footage. My only disappointment was that the version of ‘Wake Up’, filmed in the midst of a concert crowd, which has such an emotional impact, was curtailed well before its end. Other than that, I loved it; a rich and imaginative piece of work.

DVD – Arcade Fire, 15 May 2009

By

I was slightly dissappointed by the first disc as I was expecting filmed performances (Disc 2 shows some performances particularly the Radio 2 Session). Disc 1 slightly ‘arty farty’, interspersed with concert performances. Where was the Reading session? When are they touring as they appear to be better as a live band.
