Summary: Absolutely Stellar!!!
Comment: LUMINOUS VISIONS is one of my all-time favorite videos. The imigery is incredible, tho it does have a few moments of pretty hokey stuff. I rarely ever listen to the music provided...Tangerine Dream has a few of my favorites to their credit, but ALL my faves by them pre-date this release by about fifteen years. This could easily become your favorite trip video if you just give it a chance....
HOWEVER...
Those listing theirs here for sale as amazon sellers have set the price so ridiculously high that I think a few of them are in SERIOUS need of detox!!! Trippin' yer bawlz off is intended as a far a few between escape - NOT a permenant condition. Now, you would-be sellers....climb down off the walls and reprice this thing with some sanity. I can find it for LESS THAN TEN BUCKS NEW for the three minutes of "work" that it takes.

Luminous Visions is an extremely psychedelic bliss-out freakazoid video of the highest order! My hat is off to these guys.....

Oh yeah...try "Headcandy" - they have two vids, "Fractals", "Wild Electric Dream", "Baraka" for a 'mondo' type approach and "Trippervision", an aptly titled goody that is easy to find. Piece!

Summary: good to begin with
Comment: This movie pretty good if you are strung out on hallucinagens, but other than that, it serves no purpose. I have never watched it sober. Some of the material is very dated and cheesy. If you do get this I would recommend watching only the movie part. The other stuff would probably be tolerable sober.

Summary: Bubbles machines and candy beverages for everyone!
Comment: This DVD goes great with most of the Cd's I've reviewed. Lovely abstractions. I have had this DVD for nearly five years. and it is the best abstract computer animation art out there. Trust me, I have a large collection. The music is not the best but the graphics are phenomenal. Try listening to something like Cafe Del Mar 7 or a Buddha Bar compilation with this dvd playing. Try this an hour or so before you retire for the evening. God Bless You... it looks even more awesome on a digital tv with progressive scanning...

Summary: As good as a mid-90's screen saver
Comment: This is really dated and is really not something that should be bought these days. It was as good as a bunch of mid-90's screen savers.

Very disappointing.

Summary: *** WARNING: highly compressed, noisy...etc. etc. etc. ***
Comment: I bought this DVD with the high hopes I be blown away by some very tight, creative 3d morph visuals.

I'm very dissapointed. My friend an I watched it last night, and unfortunately were apalled at the quality, or lack thereof.

Principle complaints in order of irritation level:

1. The compression is horrible throughout many of the sequences. Sometimes the compression is so bad the artifacts cause blurring of the entire scene by as much as 20 percent. This goes away for a few scenes though -maybe 8 minutes of the film has acceptable compression.

2. The rendering framerate of the 3d animation wavers between 15 and 30 fps -with rare leaps to 60 fps, which contrast so much to the choppy parts that you wonder, "oh why couldn't it just all be 60?" It's like watching someone play Quake on a 486.

3. The resolution of the 3d animation was rendered at different sizes. Then they were all scaled to a common DVD resolution. The result is blurred aliasing, which combines with the compression to turn many of the scenes into mud.

4. The textures are very noisy, sometimes so noisy the entire screen looks like snow, making it very hard to watch.

5. The bump maps used in rendering the 3d shapes often don't tile, making obvious borders where they should tile, but don't. It's very distracting.

6. The camera animation is choppy, jerky, and not very fluid.

7. Many of the animations have hitches and pops which are obviously mistakes, but left in.

Ok, I admit I watched this movie sober, but I'm glad I did because I would have been more dissapointed had I been high.

I wish I could return it but now I'm stuck with it... :-(
