The Ohm - pioneers of electronic music

[Ollie Stench]

I bought the original 3xCD set of this when it first came out. It was then re-released with a DVD. Anyone have the DVD and can tell me what's on it?

I'd say the DVD is essential if you're really interested in the subject matter. And I mean REALLY interested. The material is very esoteric as you know - some of the stuff is barely "songs", right? I personally found it fascinating and think it completely changes the nature of the Ohm offering. Of the 20 clips, I thought the first and last ones were the most interesting - Clara Rockmore on the theremin was a complete TRIP, and the Moog segment was very informative of course. I say get it by all means, while realizing it's not going to be a big repeat viewing piece as with many things that are somewhat coldly documentary.

Cool, thanks.

The DVD is available on it's own so you don't have to buy the CDs again.
