DVD
Concert DVDs are basically a one-sided affair. Beyond wielding the fast-forward button, fans can do little more than watch and listen. But Everything, Everything, created by British band Underworld, gives back audience control.
The 90-minute take-home rave has the live footage you'd expect; but if you're not into the visuals, just replace them with abstract color splashes. You can also cut tunes you don't like with the Program Your Gig function. But proceed with caution, or you could miss some renditions that aren't from the studio. The final track, for instance, uses 72 channels of live audio and six ambient microphones.
For a hands-on concert experience, pop the disc in the computer and sample the gallery of 52 images - each linked with a keystroke - while a live version of "Dark and Long" plays in the background. The band's work at their day gig, the design house tomato, is much in evidence on Everything, Everything. Call it a rock disc for fans of high art.
Everything, Everything : $24.98. JBO/V2: www.v2music.com.
