Bill Bruford’s Earthworks Video Anthology Volume Number 2 – The 1990s (MVD/Summer)

 

Picture: C     Sound: C     Extras: D     Concert Compilation: C+

 

 

Why Bill Bruford’s Earthworks Anthology DVDs are working their ways backwards is odd, but the talented Yes member’s blues band is usually known only among either fans of his more successful band or by diehard Blues fans.  Bill Bruford’s Earthworks Video Anthology Volume Number 2 – The 1990s has arrived on DVD with 11 tracks that have never been issued before.

The tracks on this volume include:

 

1)     Up North

2)     All Heaven Broke Loose

3)     Stromboli Kicks

4)     Bridge Of Inhibition

5)     Emotional Shirt

6)     Candles Still Flicker In Romania’s Dark

7)     Nerve

8)     Pigalle

9)     Never The Same Way Once

10)  Some Shiver While He Cavorts

11)  Bridge Of Inhibition [alternate version]

 

 

 

Though the Dolby Digital 2.0 barely-stereo sound is somewhat better than the volume of newer material for whatever reason, the picture quality is the same, though color in the 1.33 x 1 image is more consistent than the previous volume.  Though there are again no extras, this is still the volume I would recommend yo8u begin with if you are interested in this particular venture.
