Product Description

Amazon.ca

Take equal measures of Gallagher and Kraftwerk, mix in a 15-year supply of blue body paint and shake with a double-shot of modern marketing savvy and you might have something akin to Blue Man Group. This ambitious second album by New York performance artists cum entrepreneurs Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton, and Chris Wink expands their central artistic contradiction--mainstreaming the alternative--with a propulsive cocktail of rhythm, irony, self-invented instrumentation, and bona fide song structures that feature turns from guest stars Dave Matthews (the music hall dirge "Sing Along") and Tracy Bonham ("Up to the Roof," and with Rob Swift, "Shadows Pt.2"). The conceit is vaguely reminiscent of the Tubes' tongue-in-cheek ode to '80s corporate rock, "The Completion Backwards Principle," right down to being so convincing the irony often melts away. Fans of their live performances will appreciate its wall-to-wall rhythmic thrust and quirky textures, while aficionados and newcomers alike should welcome its surprising, seductive melodies and mature songwriting. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovation at its best Jun 4 2004
By Tucker Morgan
Format:Audio CD
Blue Man Group uses the innovation of their stage show along with traditional hard rock ideas to create something new. Many compare Blue Man Group with Kraftwerk in the seventies, but I think that even more than that BMG is bringing the spirit of innovation back to music. Today when all music is analyzed as a combination of influences it is important to remember that new things can happen. BMG comes to the music scene from the stage show, moving from a multi-sensory environment to a purely audio one. As a result I can't imagine listening to The Complex without knowing how they make the sounds, and many of the sounds resemble movements. For example one Blue Man swings a whip like piece of plastic to create a wooshing sound that seems like it should move the air. As a result BMG is something new, not just rehashed from a previous time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue Man Group - The Complex Exhilarating May 21 2004
By "cwstauffer"
Format:Audio CD
After attending a performance by the Blue Man group in person, I was sold on finding this style of music and enjoying the experience at home. The CD mixes many of the show's music and some new innovations with vocal artists. The music has a magnificant beat, rhythum and allure that is great listening.
I thoroughally enjoy the experience and recommend The Complex for any fan of music.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a DVD May 3 2004
By JCV
Format:Audio CD
I'm a huge fan of the Blue Man Group, saw them in Vegas and New York. So you can understand how pissed off I was when I got this CD from Amazon.com and found out it's not a CD, but a DVD, which means I won't be cruisin' down the highway blasting these tunes. Far as I'm concerned, DVD format is for movies, great music should be strictly sports car convertible friendly CD.

The Complex is one of the greatest CDs I've ever listened to. Blue Man Group is able to do what few people have pulled off: take things like PVC tubing and air poles and mix them... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!
When The Blue Man Group set out to make this record their attitude was to make a rock record with as little limitations as possible and to expand their own sound. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Group and CD
This will probably sound (read?) like many other reviews. BMG's "The Complex" is an excellent CD. Also, like others, I saw them in concert before buying the CD. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Big rock sound from the men in Blue
Until recently, all I knew about the Blue Man Group was based on their series of odd commercials for Intel. I didn't know anything about their music. Read more

3-1/2 stars. This disc is indeed interesting. Lots of cool sounds abound in this mixed effort that winds up like most techno albums these days, being slightly marred by too many... Read more
