Supreme Beings Of Leisure: DVD Single
List Price: Unknown [Buy now and save at Amazon]
The Movie:
I think that the DVD single will be a more and more popular tool in promoting music in the next year or so. Where we've seen efforts that really don't use the format at all(Madonna's "Music" DVD single), I think there's a great potential in promoting a band with the format's ability to offer both audio and video segements, along with additional features that can offer customers more information about the band's work and their albums.
This disc is a perfect example of a DVD single done right; a couple of videos offered in Dolby Digital 5.1; an additional audio-only track in 2.0 as well as additional features like a lengthy interview where the band talks about its history and music. As for the band's music itself, I'd heard of the band but never actually heard their music before. It's sort of an electronic rock/soul that I liked, and after listening, I might seek out their other releases. Songs included here are "Strangelove Addiction", "You're Always The Sun" and an audio only "Naughty Boy".
The DVD
AUDIO/VIDEO: I was also very pleased with the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio for the main two videos, which sounded full-bodied and crisp. The music fills the listening space very well, coming clearly from both the front speakers and the surrounds. The electronic nature of the music really is helped by the Dolby Digital 5.1 presentation, which certainly adds to the listening experience. The music is presented at a comfortable volume, with good general quality and is a pleasure to listen to. There is also a PCM Stereo version, which certainly isn't as enveloping, but also offers very good quality sound.
The video quality probably isn't as much of a consideration with this being a music title, but I'm pleased to say that both videos look sharp and clear, with no artifacts at all. The interview footage looks soft and somewhat hazy, but it also looks like it was shot with someone's home video camera, so that's okay.
MENUS:: Nicely done main menu that offers the cover art with some subtle background animation.
EXTRAS: The interview, bios, and previews for other Palm Pictures offerings "Third World Cop", "Stop Making Sense" and "Perfect Blue"; also, weblinks.
Final Thoughts: If you're a fan of electronic music, for somewhere around 6 or 7 dollars (retail price is $7.98, so it should be available for less), you might consider giving this a look. Fans of the band will definitely be pleased with the presentation, and for them, it's highly recommended.
