Re: Trans movie from Archives 3

It's not the first thing I went to (that would be the Boarding House video) but I happen to be watching Micah's video right now. Kinda cool. And so glad he used the electric guitar version of Sample And Hold. The version on Lucky 13 and the original CD Trans release is just not that good?

After unwrapping the Archives 3, the first thing I was curious to hear (and see) was the Trans blu ray. The album became very special to me over the years, and it's especially cool to see the accompanying visuals in the movie, and hear the computerized songs by themselves, without the non-computerized ones that were also on the album. The whole thing lasts about 28 minutes.

SPOILER CONTENT - during Transformer Man, you see some pictures of (I assume) Ben Young as a baby. Very touching. Elsewhere, there's imagery from the Trans album's front and back cover artwork which flow into other visuals, and some nature imagery as well. I love the way there's also some visuals of driving on the road, since Neil's music reminds me of the open road. The whole thing comes together well. This would be a great film to see on the big screen, or at a rustfest with other fans. Really special. It doesn't really tell a cohesive story, but a very colorful use of animation. There's also some blonde nurses who show up, that seem based on Daryl Hannah.
