The title of this movie should've been,

This review is from: Modulations: Cinema for the Ear (DVD)
"Clubs and Raves and The Young People Who Go To Them--Oh Yeah And The Old Genius Farts That Pioneered The Music They Dance To". BUY - MY - COPY - PLEASE!!!! I expected this film to play like a Keyboard Magazine interview with the artists; detailing their influences, their gear and how they create their sounds. There's a lot of DJs standing behind turntables bobbing their heads, mere snippets of the new techno bands like Prodigy, only a passing mention of Kraftwerk and no mention at all of the Art of Noise. I was disappointed. If you want the real story of Techno check out History of Rock and Roll: Episode 10 - The Perfect Beat call me: therealpeperl@yahoo.com

A MUST FOR ALL ELECTRONIC MUSIC FANS,
By Garrett M Schultz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Modulations (VHS Tape)
This video isn't perfect but it's the best so far in covering the entire spectrum of electronic dance music. It goes so far as to actually showing the Roland keyboard factory! There's multiple interviews with legendary pioneers from decades ago along with today's new artists. There's coverage of Love Parade in Berlin and various other raves. Just about every style of dance music is represented. Drum and Bass and House probably got the most attention. It breaks down to the smallest components of electronic music and how artists get and arrange samples. It's a great introduction to electronic music for those who don't quite understand it yet and a great history lesson to those of use who already love it.

An ultra-condensed history of electronic music,
By P. Gunderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Modulations: Cinema for the Ear (DVD)
"Modulations" is a very fast-paced documentary about the past, present, and future of electronic music. Because it is so condensed, lacks narrative voice-over, and features so many people, you'll be able to watch this one again and again and always discover something new. Please do look past the very cheesy cover--it doesn't do justice to what's on the DVD. While rave and commerical acts like Fatboy Slim do get covered, you'll also find great footage of Pierre Henry, Genesis P. Orridge, and Giorgio Moroder (how often do you get to put those three names in a single sentence?). 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful
