3.0 out of 5 stars i hope the 'next time' is soon, August 1, 2001

first, it must be noted that this product is difficult to review. it is being marketed as neotropic's latest album while it is apparently both a soundtrack and a short film.

i first listened to the audio cd...seeing as i was under the impression it was primarily an audio release. even after repeat listening, i found myself disinterested and easily distracted. la porchaine fois, despite its track listing, contains little that would be defined as a song and nothing that can be discerned as an individual track. upon reading the cd sleave, the short film is given the limelight. so i was left believe that the recordings go-nowhere attitude was due to it really just existing as filler for the sensory gap left by the nature of film.

upon viewing the film, i feel exactly and inversely the same about the film. it hasn't any plot, no message, no apparent goal at all, and seems to just fill the visual gap that exists with music. or it could be titled 'the blair witch students summer vacation' as it is almost entirely hand-held shots from the front seat of an automobile....very interesting (yawn).

that said, i do not mean any disrespect. i have been a fan since she signed with ninja tune in '95. and i remain a fan (just not of this release). it is readily apparent that both audio and video portions of this release took talent and creativity. together they do manage to be greater than their sum of parts. and they were both done in her style of multi-layered, textured, and looped soundscapes. in the end, the whole package was as interesting as toilet paper. but the fact remains that her past efforts have been far more entertaining. ultimately, that is the failure, for regardless of what sub-sub-genre an artists muses in, the result will need an audience. and that audience is looking to be entertained.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable, March 15, 2002

I fisrt aquired Mr. Burbakers about 6 months ago, soon after 15 levels and now this. This is one of the most emotionally moving musical productions I have ever listened/viewed in my entire life. It comes with 2 cds, first the soundtrack, second the movie it was produced for.
Might I say it was a perfect blend of sight and sound with the emotional undulation of falling in love. It is what I would consider a masterpiece. This is one you will want to own and listen/watch over and over again.
