 PLACEBO
- Once More With Feeling: Videos 1996-2004
This DVD is a great companion piece to the CD collection with the same
title. Around one and a half dozen music videos across the band's career
include 36 Degrees, Teenage Angst, Bruised Pristine, Nancy Boy, Pure
Morning, You Don't Care About Us, Every You Every Me, Taste In Men,
Special K, The Bitter End, Special Needs, English Summer Rain (a
stop-animation video made by a South African fan!), the new track Twenty
Years and Without You I'm Nothing (featuring the man, David
Bowie).
Their videos have been directed by the likes of the great Chris Cunningham,
Trevor Robinson and frequent collaborator Howard Greenhalge. Besides
water and empty swimming pools featuring a lot, the clips are more often
than not intriguing, slick and modern, featuring either narratives or
performance footage, be it a sci-fi theme, warped sexual takes, jumping
off buildings, thrown into a shark tank or playing inside a satellite
dish. Extras include an extensive interview session with the trio saying
it like it is; informative, amusing and silly music video commentaries;
extra live clips like 20th Century Boy (again with Mr.
Bowie
at the '99 Brit awards), Spite & Malice live at Reading 2000
with Justin
Warfield and
English Summer Rain; Live tour visuals from Nancy Boy
and Peeping Tom. This release comes in a very stylish bit of
packaging that will sit nicely beside your copy of Placebo's
Live In Paris.
