KMFDM +PIG = Sturm & Drang Tour 2002
Of course that I support
the idea of having KMFDM's concerts on DVD, but purpose of it
is the ultimate sound quality, interesting visuals and
additional information. None of it is present onthis release (except Lucia's
appearance, although minimal in off-stage footage).
The only thing that is really
worthy of attention is music of KMFDM+ PIG. Although not active
and energetic in motion, the 7 member crew delivers experienced
play. I watched masters at work in San Francisco and remember
crowd reacting automatically to every change in rhythm, every
melody. No encouragement from Watts or Sascha,
just pure reaction to music. This release is intended for those
hardcore fans of KMFDM.
With standard setup
of song /off-stage scenes / song/ off-stage scenes, this DVD
could have
been excellent. Just a bit more of tour-caravan footage, bit
more interesting camera angles during concerts, much more sound
quality and this disc would have been a real treat...
So now you ask: "What is the point of buying
this DVD when so many ingredients is missing?" Honestly speaking,
I don't have an answer to that question. It simply doesn't match
the quality and name of KMFDM, and it should have - they deserve
it.
