Life begins when the sun goes down for a group of party-prone friends attending an L.A. rave. The music starts and the dream begins as partygoer Puck gives them each a sample of his new "love potion". This glowing green liquid fuels their inner desires and allows the friends to connect with their long secret loves during the night of dancing, lights, and unadulterated fun. Will a drug deal gone bad ruin the evening or can the uplifting mood of the rave along with Puck’s potion bring out the best in everyone? The weather is hot, the music is pounding, the mood is electric and the stakes are high in this modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s most popular play.

This is a great movie about the fourth generation of house music. Anyone who believes that House music was created in LA is sadly mistaken. House music was developed in the houses, garages and clubs of Chicago and Detroit, not Los Angele,s and it was produced for local club-goers in the "underground" club scenes, rather than for widespread commercial release. As a result, the recordings were much more conceptual, longer than the music usually played on commercial radio. House, techno, electro and hip-hop musicians used analog synthesizers and sequencers to create and arrange the electronic elements and samples on their tracks. House music "humanized" the new electronic instruments by combining live traditional instruments and percussion and soulful vocals with preprogrammed electronic synthesizers and "beat-boxes".
The second phase occurred when New York started to create house music. The style of New York house was a little more polished and got the attention of Europe. Italy and the UK started some brilliant house music and then game Germany and Techno.
Techno took the sound and perverted it by increasing the BPM count into something that was not enjoyable to anyone not on X. I used to throw some of the original raves in South Florida and it started becoming more about the drugs and not the music. House was in a bad funk for about 10 years. In recent years, starting in the late 90's, DJs and artists such as Miguel Miggs, Blue Six, Aya and others have brought back melodies and rhythms to house. Along with labels such as Hed Kandi, Lazy Dog and others they have ushered in a new and strong fourth age of house.
When Tron came out in 1982, it was intended to be a visually stunning parable against the powers of computers and technology. More than twenty years later, the movie plays more like a nostalgic ode to the early 1980s, than a simple good vs. evil morality tale. Tron evokes the heady days when video games like Pac Man, Defender and Centipede ruled the arcades and when everyone owned a Commodore 64 or an Atari 2600 -- the eight track of personal computing.
Writer/director Steven Lisberger creates a flashy, neon-drenched world, a cybernetic version of Social Darwinism where lowly computer programs must participate in gladiatorial battles against the Master Control's ruthless minions. Even though the computer effects look primitive now, back then they were considered ahead of their time. Fortunately, Lisberger has not remastered the special effects with contemporary computer graphics (take note George Lucas). There is a certain clunky charm to the effects that makes Tron all that more endearing to its fans.
Tron is one of those rare examples where style over substance works. The computer world that Lisberger and his team worked so hard to create is rich in detail. It also plays on our romantic notions of what really goes on inside our computers -- not a collection of microchips and circuit boards but a vast world where programs fight each other for survival. It's no wonder that visionary science fiction writer, William Gibson once commented in an interview that the cyberworld in Tron is how he envisioned the cyberspace in his novels.
The audio commentary with director Steven Lisberger, producers Donald Kushner and Harrison Ellenshaw, and special effects wizard, Richard Taylor. There is a relaxed feel to the track as these guys reminisce about working on the movie. The commentary does tend to lean more towards the technical aspects of making the movie as opposed to anecdotal content but the documentary on disc two covers this aspect in more detail.
Disc two features a wealth of supplemental material that was mostly carried over from a special edition laserdisc set that Disney released many years ago. The DVD reorganizes all of these extras into several easily navigable sections.
The best extra on the second disc is a comprehensive 90-minute documentary entitled, "The Making of Tron." Every aspect of the movie, from its humble origins to the struggles of getting it made are covered with brand new interviews with Lisberger and his crew and Jeff Bridges and the cast (minus David Warner). Everyone speaks fondly of his or her experiences working on Tron. This retrospective look at the movie 20 years later is a real treat for the fans and is the crowning touch on this excellent set.
Directed by the French motion graphics studio H5. It features a day in the life of a woman working in the London's Square Mile solely through infographics; this includes labelled close-ups of everyday objects, product lifecycles, schematic diagrams, charts, and is generally illustrated in a simple isometric visual style.
this song is haunting me... First I find it randomly on my HDD and a guy randomly tries to send me "royksopp.mp3" over MSN... Now I searched for something completely different and this came up again. Spooky...Extra Terrestrials will find this Video in 1 million years time and it will help them understand how our complicated little planet worked and they will laugh like the aliens on that old Cadbury's Mash Ad LOL.
It's like watching an ant colony. Everybody is a drone lol.. and the Queen is all the corporations. Ever heard of "Human Resource"? That's what you are. A resource to be used. *HEAD BOB* LUV DIS SONG TOO. Royksopp rocks.
Do you remember.. 1. When you could get on youtube without a huge ad at the top of your homepage? 2. When EVERY music video was from a user, not Vevo? 3. When you could use it as a music player without having an ad in the beginning of a music vid? 4. When copyright infringement wasn't a big deal? 5. When it was YOUtube? Copy and paste onto videos telling youtube how PISSED we, the YOU in YOUtube, are with their greedy corporate butts thumbs up if you agree.
Complex images that show the cycles of feelings when you miss someone. The emotional vacuums and emotional avalanches that envelop you when your loved one is far away; and how helpless you feel in the midst of it, like the inability of the paper aeroplane to get across the vast ocean. This song has such meaning to to me. I love The Album Leaf. Soundtrack to my life. Amazing watching them live...very talented.
Fifty one people are tone deaf. However, the 1,575 actually can tell that this music is positively beautiful. Beautiful, inspiring music. I do listen to indie music. Except this is hipster shit, and you're obviously one of them considering your lack of musical knowledge - Indie isn't a genre of music. The sound of "indie" bands spans every genre conceivable. indie = indepedendtly made, although even that's a lie these days. Learn.

Music video by The Verve performing Bitter Sweet Symphony.
I Remember This Song Was In A Movie Dont Remember What It Was Calles, Anyone Know ?. this song is just beatiful. it makes you want to do something, to change. One of the greatest songs ever, I like it so much ! especially parts "..money then you die " and " the only road where all the veins meet". so true and beautifull. Reminds me beeing in Younglife 2000 til 2002. That was so fun. this song is sampled originally from Andrew Oldham Orchestra's "The Last Time", which is instrumental version of Rolling Stones's song by same name.
Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah.....
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah......
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now.....
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now...
"You re a slave to the money,then you die...", "Try to make ends meet, try to find somebody then you die" I did find this somebody but she'll never be mine, so what's the sense of it? no change, I can't change...
Means a lot.
Beautiful song, and it makes me also cry - cause it's beutiful, it's sad, it's full of dignity and cos it means so much for me. Love the song, love the video, just breathtaking. thumbs up if you remember this song from when you where a kid GOOD MEMMORIES.
Music video by The Chemical Brothers performing Swoon.
You know what I've come to realise. Chemical Brothers are perfectionist, they don't go for any of those shit songs in between good songs like other artists, they just always produce an unbelievable song. Definitely up there with the best bands in the past 20 years, and btw, this song has made me jizz myself a total of 1285 times. Cheers Chemical Brothers!! the sample they took is exactly same as the background music played on "texas holden poker".
I heard this song in August and haven't stopped listening to it, it always reminds me of the summer and hot weather, going to the sea side in the train, going out for rides in the car, and thinking of my old love.
This song is exactly what I needed and I was just aimlessly browsing around on youtube. my tune for the past 4 months and well still my best tune on 2011, can't wait what chemical brother is bringing for 2011.
Love this! Heard the Boyz Noize remix on The Annual 2011 and thought that was good, so had to check out the original. Glad I did, it's even better!. This is actually my favourite song, and it's my most played on iTunes!. The only thing what I do when I listen this song is relaxing. Amazing.
