Paradise 9
Live At Onboard the Craft Festival DVD
Review by Gary Hill
The video quality on this live DVD from Paradise 9 is very good. The audio is quite good, too. These guys play a version of space rock that has a lot of Hawkwind, some other progressive rock elements and a touch of punk (or at least DIY) in the mix. It works particularly well in live performance. I’d say this would be a great introduction to the band. For those of us who haven’t had a chance to see them live, this is highly recommended, too. This is a pretty stripped down production. The copy I got (it’s a review copy, so possibly not the real thing in terms of packaging) just came in a cardboard CD sleeve. There are no bonus features. The thing is, the performance rocks and this is well worth having.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2014 Volume 5 at lulu.com/strangesound.
