The Chemical Brothers: Don't Think(2012)
Originally captured in 2011, at the iconic Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, this event captures the synesthetic barrage of sound, film and light and the transforming effect it has on its audience though the Chemical Brother's iconic techno backlog of songs For more about The Chemical Brothers: Don't Think and The Chemical Brothers: Don't Think Blu-ray release, see The Chemical Brothers: Don't Think Blu-ray Review Starring: Tom Rowlands, Ed Simons Director: Adam Smith The Chemical Brothers: Don't Think Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Chemical Brothers: Don't Think is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Astralwerks Records with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:1. Considering the challenges posed by an outdoor shoot in what is reported to have been unsettled weather, in a teeming mass of tens of thousands, this is a decently sharp and nicely detailed looking outing, within certain limits. It must be accepted up front that this concert was filmed in the dead of night with weird lighting and bizarre visuals, meaning any attempt to report on typical items like accurate color become something of a joke. What is on display here is some very nicely rendered projection material without much artifacting of any import to report, often tied to weirdly shaded shots of faces in the audience. Occasionally the cameras wend their way through the crowds and break free of being completely surrounded, at which time the imagery becomes a bit sharper, if only because any individual camera isn't being crowded by tons of people pressing in on it. There are the typical bugaboos here of many recent concert videos, with some quasi-posterizing on deeply saturated blues and reds and some banding which is only exacerbated by having lights shining through dry ice fog on the stage. The Chemical Brothers: Don't Think Blu-ray, Audio QualityIf you put aside any preconceptions about that little item referred to as dynamic range, The Chemical Brothers: Don't Think's lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 audio option is reference quality, especially with regard to its awesome, floorboard shaking low end, which pulses out of the surrounds and subwoofer in waves of vibrational fury. All frequency ranges are expertly rendered here, with clarity and precision, and there is also some very nice discrete channelization at work with individual synth effects. There is some crowd noise which impinges on the proceedings from time to time, but thankfully it's mixed fairly far back, even when the cameras are down in and among the masses. There is frankly no dynamic range to speak of, however, simply because the playlist here is set to "11" (in the immortal words of Spinal Tap) right off the bat and simply stays there for the entire concert.
