Andy Ling and the Evolution team have created a seamless blend of music to accompany the visuals for this disc and have succeeded amazingly. Artists such as David James, Basilica, Tarrentella, Filmpalast and others have had their music mixed together into a cohesive compilation that flows perfectly from each visual creation. The music itself is slow beat trance and dance mix that is easily listened to and never moves to fast. The upbeat tempo and eclectic mix of sounds is always changing and moving.

The video is similar to the music. Comprised of entirely computer created imagery from several artists, the Brooklyn, New York group Exotic Robotics have combined the visuals from renowned VJs into a consistent mix. The images range from simple geographic shapes and 3D imagery to computer manipulated photo-realistic footage. Overall, the images are beautifully done, constantly moving and always interesting.

Video: Compared to some of their other releases, the video on this disc stands out. The full-frame images are all computer generated and it's likely the reason that most of the video is sharp and crisp. There is no visible pixelation or picture degradation, except where purposely integrated into the footage.

Audio: Like all of Moonshine's music releases, this disc blows away most others in the audio department. The music is mastered perfectly with a great digital stereo mix. The best thing about this edition of AV:X? There is a 5.1 surround mix included. Suspiciously missing on previous releases, this is a long complaint answered. The sound effects and beats of this type of music are perfect for surround and the speakers are used for a full, enveloping effect.

Extras: There are two extra audio-visual tracks on the disc in a separate section. Both are produced by XR (exotic robotics) and contain the same amazing visuals that the main disc does. The first looks like it could have been a proposed menu system for the DVD itself at one time. Very sci-fi looking, it's a series of mutating screens that shift and change and incorporate the XR logo. The second is a more conventional track of computer animation on a colored background. Both are welcome additions.

Overall: Moonshine continues to expose American audiences to some of the best DJs and VJs in the business and they improve on the discs with each release. The integration of music and video on this set is smooth and they have imperceptible transitions. With the addition of the 5.1 digital mix, Moonshine has near perfected the series and made this one the disc to own.
