Review of Prelude: Dog Star Man (1962) by Mike S — 13 Jan 2008

-Possibly the most visually amazing thing I have ever seen. Totally hypnotizing. Watching the whole hour and a half of the entire Dog Star Man was really difficult for me to get through, and nearly made me sick to my stomach by the end because its so visually dizzy.

However, I could watch the prelude a ton and not get tired of it because its so beautiful. Also, I read a really interesting paper explaining the meaning behind it and its really crazy when you know what hes saying with it.

Also, its really awesome if you sync it up with squarepusher (even though its supposed to be watched without any sound) its even crazier. I'm making a playlist where it syncs up perfectly, but if you start "Go Spastic" at the second time it changes from red it syncs up really well.

message me if you are interested in the playlist sync up thing and when i'm done with it I can send it to you or something. but yeah, definitly the best from Brakhage in my opinoin.
