In the words of Nigel Godrich, "The whole emphasis of the show is about being artist friendly and making our bands as comfortable as possible so that they can give great performances without the usual agony of TV promo which everyone has to do but no one seems to enjoy. ..It also doesn't hurt that a lot of the people we've filmed are friends or people we've worked with before so they trust us and know that we understand what recording music is about as well as making good TV."
While some of the recordings are available on iTunes, this is the first time all of these recordings have appeared together under one album.
The DVD is beautifully shot in high-definition, providing the viewer the utmost luxury and clarity in high-tech recording. There is no distraction from poor color or sound quality. The background is warm, rustic, and inviting.
I would highly recommend this DVD for the avid music fan. Spanning a collection of artists as diverse as Radiohead, The White Stripes, PJ Harvey, The Shins, and more, this is one DVD that every collector should possess.
