MACHINE HEAD - CLASSIC ALBUMS

Documentary DVDs tend to be more rewarding, (obviously) more illuminating, and often generally more interesting than concert DVDs or other band videos. This one is an excellent documentary. With a short biography of the band prior to this milestone release, and a cross between older footage and stills with newer interviews and such, the footage covers it all. The DVD is abundant in anecdotes about the sessions, concept insight, description of the album's process, and a good deal of everything you'd like to know about the album. Hearing the songs dissected, and hearing certain tracks over the others really reveals some shockers! It shapes up to be a really comprehensive and varied film, and I'm sure even know-it-all die-hard Purple fans will learn something new.
