DVD Reviews of Bill Bruford's Earthworks Video Anthology Volume 2 - 1990s
DVD Review: Very low quality dvd
Summary: 3 Stars
Having seen this and volume 1 in a record store here in Austin I decided to buy this dvd after reading reviews for it. I am a big Bill Bruford fan especialy the fact that I'm a drummer myself. I have been a huge fan of Yes and King Crimson forever and this dvd is completely the opposite. It's straight ahead modern jazz and I love modern jazz. I had decided to preview some Earthworks before buyting this dvd and had obtained a live album called Random Acts Of Happiness which I thought was quite good. So when I went out to get this dvd I couldn't wait to see it. Unfortunutly what we have here is a very low quality video. It's songs taken from 3 concerts. The first 4 from Germany 91, second 4 Japan 91 and third 3 from Bulgaria 99. In the first concert what you see the picture quality is a little rough and you're seeing a quartet play and not all of the intruments are audible. There are times when Django and Ian are playing their horns and you can't even hear the drums. The horns drown everything out. Tim Harris is the bass player and plays alot of upright bass and you can't really hear that either. You can hear the electric bass fine but the upright is pretty much non audible unless he's doing a solo. The quality doesen't get any better in the Japan show either. It's just more of the same. The final 3 songs that are from the Bulgaria show in 99 are the absolute worst. The picture is extreemly grainy like it was a high generation you were watching. This dvd is nearly unwatchable. It really looks like a bootleg video but it's an official release. This is pretty unprofessional to put out. I think us fans deserve a high crispy quality audio and video wise but unfortunutly we don't get that here. I don't recomnebd getting this dvd unless you are an ultimate collector and have to have it all. Maybe you'll be luck to find it some place to rent. The only reason this review isn't lower is because the playing on here is great. The musicians are nice and tight and the songs are excellent. But this isn't a dvd I would watch alot. It's just going to sit in my collection and collect dust. I like the artwork on the dvd cover but that's like the coolest thing about the package. I won't even bother to get volume 1.

The group was originated as a vehicle for Bruford s unusual and innovative use of electronic percussion and did much to challenge perceptions about what a drummer should or should not do in the jazz medium.
