Does the Kick that Habit DVD have any added bonus features that make it an essential purchase? I may settle with my VHS copy....
What's the Toop DVD all about?

I didn't open them yet, but I think the Liechti is just the film. the Toop:

"...A Portrait Of David Toop Through His Records Collection. In his home in the northern part of London, David Toop plays us records for several days and asks: does music have any limits? Is the collective vomiting of Amazonian shamans on a vision quest music, or not? What about the funeral dirges of the Potu people? How did New Orleans jazz-bassist John Levy's recordings radically change our perceptions? How did improvised music and electronica redefine some secular frontiers? What influence did solitary rockabilly singer Hasil Adkins have on Finnish electronic group Panasonic? Sub Rosa presents a 90-minute film of these questions and more in a 96-minute film, directed by Guy-Marc Hinant and Dominique Lohl�. However, this film is not only about music, it is about speech patterns, and the moments where speech progresses towards exhaustion, where at any moment, words are lost, the body's limits take hold, and the film is over. Toop's record collection is endless, but after a while, the man gets tired, as if envisioning himself commenting on tens of thousands of records, one by one. Could that be done? At one point, the tone switches from the desire to continue to the desire to see it all stop. A type of despondency and hidden sadness is revealed. 96 minutes; double-sided DVD in both NTSC & PAL formats; region-free; in English with French subtitles. "

Remember when you would berate me when I used to admit to not unwrapping a certain CD Jon

The Toop DVD sounds enticing to say the least.....Please report on what it's like after you pop it into the player....

I believe I 'berated' you for asking for opinions on a disc you owned but hadn't yet unwrapped. I'm not asking for opinions, I merely posted that I bought these today, as this is the recent purchases thread.

How is it that I deserved to be berated as I had no time to listen to certain release while you get away scratch-free?
It matters not that you bought the DVDs. What's the take on what's inside the package is all I ask!

Since when is this thread about semantics....I can comprehend fine, thanks for your concern

Maybe people should cease to publish things they bought and not yet heard/watched.
Perhaps another thread is required along the lines of "recent items purchased, not yet heard / still sealed"

I was just laughing because I couldn't understand your post at all. But I see you've edited it, so it's less incoherent. Anyway, I recently purchased

Jimmy Giuffre - Free Fall, which is pretty damn good & the liner notes are hilarious:

Jimmy Giuffre wrote:"Given: the urge to enter new realms, glimpse other dimensions, reach the absolute. Given: the visions received from thinking on such things as...gravity, Monk, electricity, time, space, the mocrocosmos, leaves, chemistry, power, Gods, white-hot heat, asteroids, love, eternity, Einstein, Rollins, Evans, teh heartbeat, pain, Delius, Scherchen, Art, overtones, the prehistoric, La Violette, wife, life, voids, Berg, Bird, the universe...

...We come to NOW and this album, YGGDRASILL!!!

Not even close Jon.....it's actually Dennis Hopper....who knew

Can you guess the film it's from?
I only recall it from Golden Palominos Blast of Silence intro and outro....

I've got this Bailey bug lately and it's hard to shake
