Review Jean Michel Jarre - Jarre In China (2 DVDs and Live CD Album) / Warner Music Vision:

In 1981 Jean Michel Jarre was invited by the Chinese government to become the first western musician to perform in the People's Republic of China. Performing 5 concerts in Beijing and Shanghai the tour encountered numerous problems including arriving at an arena to find only one power socket and having to buy back concert tickets from stone-faced VIPs and redistribute them free to the Chinese public. October 2004 and Jarre returns to Beijing with 70 tonnes of equipment to open China's "Year of France" cultural exchange with an outdoor concert. Choosing a picturesque location at Wumen Gate in the Forbidden City, Jarre performed with both modern and traditional Chinese Orchestras, choir, opera singers, and several guest musicians including Chen Lin, and guitarist Patrick Rondat. Jarre was prevented from performing with China's Cui Jian whose songs were sung by student demonstrators in 1989. Filmed in high definition and presented in 5. 1 DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound (both at the concert and on DVD) the complete concert is presented. It looks and sounds fantastic, in no small part due to the THX mastering, a first for a music DVD. Jarre makes extensive use of new photographic projections on giant 3D inflatable screens, the laser harp, Theremin, and midi flute. The music is varied but would have benefited from band musicians on stage as the music sounds all too similar to the recent "Aero" album apart from some Chinese instrumentation. [+]
Jarre looks lonely on stage and recounts a similar track listing from the last 8 years. Highlights include "Voyage to Beijing" as well as the essential "Souvenir of China" and a highly orchestrated "Rendez Vous 2. " Straight after the concert in the Forbidden City, Jarre travels by motorbike through the audience to Tian'anmen Sqaure where he played a small number of songs to the expectant Chinese crowd. A great idea to play a second concert, but a missed opportunity to play some better tracks like "Eldorado" or "Chronologie 4. " Instead of remaking Edith Piaf's "La Foule" in Chinese, a better choice might have an adaptation of Jarre's own "C'est La Vie. " The package includes a photo gallery and commentary from the composer. The making-of documentary is the icing on the cake, showing how hands-on Jarre is with all aspects of production, from trimming some trees to the lighting design. The included live CD album doesn't add anything for those who have already bought the Aero album. Jarre's work deserves to be on the DVD format and this is a highly presented premiere from a special event. -Colin Neal.

Review Yes - 35th Anniversary Concert - Songs From Tsongas / Warner Music Vision:

It's not everyday that music lovers get the opportunity to witness one of rock's most enduring acts take the stage to celebrate its 35th reunion, but now viewers who weren't able to make the show in person can witness the magic firsthand as the classic Yes lineup of Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White celebrate over three decades of music and memories. In addition to a full set that includes such classic Yes tunes as "Going for the One", "Turn of the Century", "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and many more, viewers will feel the full impact of the classic live performance set against the backdrop of a new stage design by none other than Roger Dean himself. -Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide Songs from Tsongas finds Yes performing at their very best as part of their 35th Anniversary celebrations.

Review Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine [1997] / Sony Bmg:

This imaginatively titled release contains both footage of Rage Against the Machine in concert and uncensored versions of six of the group's videos. This isn't quite the value for money it might sound, since most of their videos are heavily reliant on concert footage anyway, and in a couple of cases it's difficult to tell one from the other. That said, the concert footage, taken from a few different RATM shows, is crisply shot and conveys enough of RATM's intoxicating (if one-dimensional) ferocity to be effective. A couple of the videos are also worth seeing, if only because they wouldn't have much hope of getting played on television: the clip for "Freedom", especially, is a clever and acute retelling of the story of American Indian Movement activist Leonard Peltier, shortly to complete his third decade of imprisonment. On the DVD: Rage Against the Machine on disc has a choice of stereo sound or Dolby Digital 5. 1. English subtitles are available on most tracks. Special features include a track selector, contacts for organisations with which RATM are sympathetic, and a book list largely comprising indigestible polemical tracts of the sort often bought, but rarely read, by the earnest students who constitute Rage Against the Machine's core audience. However, given that most bands use any spare capacity on their DVDs to flog T-shirts, RATM deserve credit for trying something different. -Andrew Mueller.
