Movie Reviews of Marillion - EMI Singles Collection
Movie Review: Bad videos?...Come on!
Summary: 5 Stars
The quality of videos (and of music, for that matter) has always been (and will always be) a matter of opinion. But to say that this DVD contains "bad" videos, as somebody put it here, is a radical statement, and has to be taken as, well, a matter of opinion. To appreciate the videos in this compilation, you have to have historycal perspective. Of course, by today's standards, any video of the 80's will look very outdated, basic and sometimes funny where not intended to be. As for Marillion videos, I've seen 1000 times worst, and in my opinion they're not bad. Some of them are funny, which shows that the band were having a really great time doing them. Back in those days, the heart of the video relied more in what the performers could do by themselves, as opposed of today, in which the special effects are the stars, and any originality from the musicians themselves is deprived. And just to mention 2, "Dry land" contains one of the best photography and landscapes that I've seen in a video, and "Beautiful" is excellent. Of course, there are bad videos ("Hooks in you" is intended to present Marillion as a "Survivor" -"Eye of the tiger", remember?- kind of group, and that image is forced and clumsy) but sure they are the exception. Overall, the quality of this videos progresses as they advanced (they are in cronological order), another proof that this videos were made according to dominating standards at the time of their release. As any Marillion fan, I bought this DVD just because, and although the videos didn't introduced any breakthrough in visual music, I must recommend it because is good, musically and visually...
