Don't think I much recommend it. The music is nice but the video gets boring
really quick. I think that if you had a large projection screen and lots of
drugs it could be cool but just to pop it in and watch it. I'll analyze it
this way, listening to music excites the brain and moves the body, but it
has little or no need for spatial reference. Video on the other hand
requires specific focused concentration. So if the images don't hold your
undivided attention, as when you are surrounded by them on a large screen,
or involved in them in a plot sense, one can be quickly bored. I think it is
well worth seeing for yourself, but owning this to play over and over is not
required.
I do recommend the ORB's long form video form because it uses the mixer,s
aesthetic in video, taking the best tricks and dropping them in at just the
right time. The soundtrack is excellent too.
