"This DVD promised to have "Mind bending animations to mind blowing interpretations of Pink Floyd music."
Instead both the musical score and animations didn't live up to either standard and were very disappointing.
I expected cutting edge computer graphics from animator David Rogers but found the animations to be out-dated and amateurish. The Pink Floyd musical interpretations were uninspiring at best and didn't flow with the animations which seemed random and out of sync.
Overall, I found this DVD to be quite a letdown."
It put me right to sleep

"Chill out is an appropriate title - I watched it last night and it put me right to sleep. The animations reminded me of what you would see in Windows Media player, say, Battery Random (if you have ever watched that while listening to music). The first song, Echoes, made me think of Pink Floyd's own version as shown in "Pink Floyd Live In Pompeii", which set a tough standard to beat. If you have doubts, why not rent the DVD from Netflix first to see how you like it. I often do this, just yesterday for example, I ordered "What The Bleep Do We Know?" from Amazon after previewing it from Netflix. But I digress. If you like Pink Floyd's music, and want to really relax, this DVD will probably do it for you."
Not even Pink Floyd

"I got this DVD as a gift.
Let me quote the back of the case for you:
"...interpretations of the music of PINK FLOYD performed by Mostly Autumn, Crazy Diamond, Cirrus Minor and Barratt."
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Right on the cover it says MUSIC OF PINK FLOYD, but it sells you ripped off stuff from some guys that try to replicate Pink Floyd. Cheap marketing ploy.
Though the music sounds nice, if you're an extremely avid Pink Floyd fan like me, you'll find it annoying when the solos go astray from traditional Gilmour style, and when the lyrics are sometimes even absent.
Save your money. Get something authentic instead."

"If you want to save yourself money just listen to pink floyd using either itunes or windows media player visuliser. gives the same effect! The music 'interpretations' are nothing special either. In all an all round dissapointment!"

"Well, OK. We've all been duped by the title, including myself. I was pretty upset when I bought it and watched it. The music, although nice covers by other musicians, is not authentic Pink Floyd. That was seriously disappointing. However, since I own many Pink Floyd CDs, I had the idea of making a new CD with the songs on the playlist of the DVD in the same order. So now whenever I play the DVD, I simply watch it, but listen to the CD instead with the real Pink Floyd music. You just need to start both the CD and the DVD sort of at the same time and ... enjoy."
