5.0 out of 5 stars delicious insanity., April 12, 2001

By	Todd Spinney "TopSpin" (Leominster, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wow, these boys can mix! This 'DTS Experience' is mind numbing in its complexity. It is jaw dropping mixed specifically for the 5.1 format. It's very difficult to describe it. There is drums a-plenty, tribal rhythms, Spanish guitars, opera divas improvising over trance-techo beats, quirky (and at times annoying) spoken dialogue, synths synths and more synths panning and shooting all over the room. Is is perfect? No, buts it's darn close. I found the yoga instruction dialogue throughout Trance Dance to be irritating. I could also do without the cheesy new-wave three-party converstation that starts off the otherwise mind-blowing Integraton.

Bottom line: If you have a DTS-capable sound system (especially if you have 6.1!) this is the 'wow' disc to get. I can't wait for their next release!

2.0 out of 5 stars Can't stand it as a whole, August 15, 2001

By	John Cooley "jcinmobile" (Mobile, AL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First of all, the recording and mixing engineers did a great job, but ....., there are only moments of repeatably listenable moments of music. The remainder seems more experimental noise of the nervous banging, talking, generally irritating type. I tried several times to listen this as openly as possible, and in the end just feel cheated. Not just out of my money, but out of my time. By the way I came across this DVDA because Amazon shows that people who bought Blue Man Group (BMG) also bought Studio Voodo. They are not even close to the same. BMG is great, this is a bad investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars "voodooized", August 15, 2001

By A Customer

This DVD is mesmerizing and amazing! I can honestly say I have NEVER heard anything like it before. A friend of mine told me about Studio Voodoo that their record was "a must have". I recently bought a DVD player and this DVD was my first purchase. Money well spent. Each song puts you in a different world of sound - from african drum circles, to flaminco dancers and guitars. This DVD puts you inside the music, like you are actually sitting in the middle of this amazing musical experience!! Studio Voodoo is definitely a must have for anyone who truly appreciates clever, exciting music!
