 Just what I was looking for October 22, 2008
I wanted something to add mood to my home and this DVD does just that. The visuals are very soothing. If you like kaleidoscopes, you'll like this. I have a Phillips Ambilight TV so the colors glow onto the wall. Sometimes I have the music on low but usually I turn the TV volume all the way down.
 Overrated October 12, 2008
I'm not sure why this is ranked 4 stars, I bought and was instantly disappointed. Music, so-so, but's okay because I was mostly interested in the video, which looked like something I could have made (not impressive). In the end, I should have just purchased Ocean Origins (2002) on IMAX.... it's a way better mind trip and the video footage is superior.

this is basically two packages:
-lots of old cliche visuals done to generic hippytronica and whatever, forgettable
-new stunning generative visuals to deep exquisite audio, and chat about the project, super great, top marks
put together in a powerpoint-looking dvd menu
could seriously just lose all the old stuff, adds zero. more of the magic sheep stuff: and hooray for the author's transientness-of-competitive-things conceptualizing, but blah blah, just render these things every few weeks and make DVD compilations and I'll buy them.
Fascinating April 1, 2008
The reason gave this 4 stars is that I'm a photographer who wants to create animations of my own and this disc was very useful in showing me what is possible and what I like or don't like. I found the 3 documentaries fascinating and well worth watching. The animations themselves tend to be a bit too repetitious for my taste, but it's an emerging artform. The potential is enormous.
Terribly slow boring visuals and music is no better. March 27, 2008

Sold by all the five star reviews. I could not believe it started in black and in white normal TV square screen format. I can download better 'Kaleidoscope videos' for free, I wasted my time and money on something not worthy of my HD 65" Toshiba TV. You can have my 'Spotworks' for $1 plus p&p.
