Steely Dan : Two Against Nature DVD

203.96.152.181

This DVD is reviewed by Ken Kessler in the latest issue of Ultimate Audio.

KK wrote "..the sound of this is almost too good to be true."

I'd like to know what KK has been smoking in his pipe ?

Basic sound quality is indeed pretty good but in the end it's just another badly mixed 5.1 channel music video with sundry backing singers and instruments popping up in positions all over the place.

What's the general opinion of Inmates on live music videos ?
Should the sound, especially imaging, correspond with what's
happening on screen ?

Or should producers be given a free hand to place sound wherever they see fit, no matter how gimmicky the end result ?

Bear in mind I'm only asking about those videos that purport to chronicle a live event.

I for one, was disappointed at the hodgepodge sound mix of one of 2000's best albums. And even more disappointed that Becker and Fagan signed off on this sonic mess.
