    Reviews:
    This long-playing DVD collects five different performances from contemporary Krautrock electronic composers Thomas Fanger and Mario Schönwälder. They were recorded between 2007 and 2008 across the various cities that the individual performances are named after.

    Whilst the music is uniformly superb, the idea of watching a DVD of two guys sat at keyboards obviously isn't the most stimulating. So as part of the intense and eclectic performances there are plenty of visuals, footage of the individual cities, as well as specially created cinematic backdrops that merge with the music to create a multimedia whole.

    That is what Fanger & Schönwälder are putting across here in their live performances. Unlike a traditional rock show, it isn't just about the band; here the music is naturally central stage. The composers and performers are almost anonymous engineers, creating these euphoric, grandiose, widescreen soundscapes designed to fill the rooms. With the visual accompaniments as well, it's as if every night they are creating a new soundtrack to a different film.

    On the Frankfurt section the pair is joined by occasional collaborator Klaus Cosmic Hoffmann on the mellotron, which enhances their already impressive sound. The finale of the road movie is Berlin, where an epic soundscape, mixed with superb visual accompaniments, pulls together as a coherent, ambient audio-visual spectacle.

    That's what this film is about, it's as much about the imagery as the excellent music on show, and that is the next best thing to actually seeing these guys live.

    Conclusion: 7 out of 10
    James R Turner (DPRP.net)

    I once written it and I still persist: attend a concert of EM is to show a heroic deed against somnolence. This superb music, which is the equivalent of a lava flow under the arcs of a rainbow, finds all its wealth under the closed eyes of diurnal dreamers. Certainly there are rhythms. Rhythms embroidered into sequencers where the protagonists are more much excited than Macy's dummies. In fact what saves the day during these concerts is the quality of the music. And at this level, Fanger&Schönwälder gives us quite a seminar about EM of which the analog perfumes revive these crazy souvenirs of our years of artificial illusions. “Analog Overdose-The Road Movie” is a movie-documentary about the international tour undertaken by the duet from September 2007 to August 2008. A tour which walked them from L.A. to Berlin while passing by England where Thomas Fanger and Mario Schonwalder have dazzled many ears on an EM religiously listened by a public taken in hostage by rhythms and ambiences which flow beneath some organic panoramas of screens and walls skilfully brushed by psychedelic lavas. Apart from music and the visual effects, the very penetrating video views offer us a small lesson on the electronic art with closes-ups which reveal secrets and which satisfy all the curiosity of a greenhorn such as I on the functioning of synths and sequencers.
    It's at the Eindhoven's very own E-Live festival of 2008 that the audiovisual adventure of “Analog Overdose-The Road Movie” begins. In a sober setting, very intimate and decorated with Spirograph kind of psychedelic drawings which melt themselves on the screen into delicious psychedelicosmic embraces, the rhythm of "Eindhoven" emerges delicately from its morphic circles and its soporific flutes to espouse the shapes of a cosmic groove. The rhythm, at first slow and uncertain, becomes languishing and increases a mesmerizing pace under the harmonious breaths of synths filled by the fragrances of Tangerine Dream and of its Ricochet era. This suave lunar lounge mislead its lascivious rhythm into ambiospheric wanderings before resuming its hypnotic mould which beats of a suggestive life in a dense synth veil where organic sound effects and eclectic pads wrap a rhythmic approach shapes in electronica with a Berlin School zest. "Liphook" is a small jewel of an EM which links magnificently the analog and digital eras. The rhythm is clear and steady. Caressed by serpentines of sequenced ions which embroider in their echoïc outlines a finely jerked rhythm, it makes the low bow in front of the synth pads among which the ethereal voices and the Persian breaths revive recollections of Klaus Schulze on Blackdance. Splendid! The introduction of "Los Angeles" goes by a short video of the city road circuit where the images parade in the fragrances of Tangerine Dream's Encore. We are entering a more intimate portion of the DVD where we see the duet piled up in a premises interpreting a music piece molded to measure for those who followed the Dream's North American tour in 1977. The rhythm is forged in good sequenced pulsations which oscillate among jingles of cymbals. It follows a tangent which zigzags on a musical highway filled by obstacles and enlightened synth strands to ghostly tones. This rhythm endowed of two distinct entities which criss-cross in foggy and symphonic synth pads is of use as backcloth to a musical slide show where we see the duet roaming in the streets of L.A. and exploring the Californian deserts. The lovers of analog vintage EM will love this and will wear out this segment of “Analog Overdose-The Road Movie”. And the more we move forward in the DVD and the more our ears are delighted, while our eyes appreciate the discoveries while forgetting the lack of pompous effects of concerts with big deployments.
    The performance of "Frankfurt" is based on the same precepts as L.A.; small premises, images of an urban activity and a very Dreamian musical approach with a thick cloud of Mellotron which covers a heavy hypnotic and sustained rhythm. Sequences are superb! They jump and pound with an orgiastic way in a rhythmic structure that we have difficulty to describe so much the fauna of percussions, sequences and pulsations is as well dense as diversified. These rhythmic elements bombard an intense structure that Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock wraps of his coat of harmonious and morphic mist weaved in the magic of the Memotron. And the finale... Hum...!"Berlin" is the cornerstone of “Analog Overdose-The Road Movie”, both by its long musical structure and its location; a swimming pool emptied of its water. The distant camera shots put height the view with a range of drawings and lighting effects which upholster the internal walls of a concrete aquarium which returns a futuristic decoration. And the music is espousing these modernist reflections with a delicious intro where drops of rhythms resound in the emptiness of a swimming pool bared of its watery element. The ambience is postmodern with these jingles that click and shape a languishing structure where the notes which fall resound in oblivion, while that insidiously a slow morphic down-tempo installs the framework of its hypnotic rhythm. This slow rhythm evolves by subtle segments, increasing delicately a pace which extricates itself from its lunar down-tempo among which the hypnotic beatings and the ambiospheric wanderings cavort in a splendid organic musical fauna to adopt a groovier tangent and finally explode into a finale herculean with stormy sequences which remind us the rhythmic, harmonious and electronic duality of Thomas Fanger and Mario Schönwälder. A dualism which is the driving and creative strength of an EM that makes a perfect bridge between electronica and the hypnotic charms of the Berlin School.
    Electronica, teutronica, morphic down-tempos and an EM that doesn't deny its Berlin School roots; “Analog Overdose-The Road Movie” is a wonderful and a fascinating exploratory adventure of a music which seems to hatch out of a contemporary artistic witchcraft. Although a too big category of EM concerts is the equivalent of a chamber music performance for a invited public, Fanger&Schönwälder gives the possibility to all their fans and other lovers of an imaginative music to visualize and hear a very beautiful collection of intimist concerts where the music transcends the parameters of big deployments concerts. The shots, the organic and psychedelic visual effects as well as sets and locations cement an artistic symbiosis which espouses the hallucinatory fancies of a music that always ends by taking the shape of ours. Yes, Fanger&Schönwälder offers a very beautiful Christmas present to their fans!

    115 Minuten, für Thomas Fanger & Mario Schönwälder fast ungewohnt, sehr entspannte und ruhige Musik ;-)
    Ja, ich war selbst sehr erstaunt, als ich die DVD erstmals gesehen habe. Fast Chill-Out !! Die Aufnahmen entstanden 2007 und 2008 und wurden während der Konzerte in Holland, England, den USA und Deutschland mitgeschnitten. Beim Stück -Frankfurt- bekamen die beiden noch Unterstützung von Klaus "Cosmic" Hoffmann-Hook am Memotron.
    Schöne DVD, lässt sich gut gucken ..... aber irgendwie fehlt mir da noch was .... vielleicht mal ein Interview mit den Musikern. Es gibt zwar einige Einblicke in die Orte des Geschehens durch kurze Clips, aber irgendwie kommt keine Nähe zu den Musikern auf.... und das ist etwas schade. Dennoch eine empfehlenswerte Anschaffung :-)
