Worth Thinking About

Very partial to the new Chemical Brothers DVD/CD package "Don't Think". The reviews said that it was the next best thing to being there and that's about right. I've seen the Chemicals a few times and it's always 'an occasion' and a bit of an assault on the visual and aural senses. The DVD is beautifully filmed and captures the way the music and fantastic visuals combine in an almost hypnotic way. I watched it first time listening loud on headphones and it did take me back to the Brixton Academy a few years ago. The songs - particularly the newer stuff such as 'Swoon' and 'Horse Power' are great. Probably the best live DVD since Talking Heads 'Stop Making Sense' - and that's a few years ago! Now all we need is LCD Soundsystem to release their long-promised last concert DVD 'Shut Up And Play The Hits' - due later this year?
