There's so much on DVD Kollection from the Korgis that one can get lost in the system of discovery, which is something the format demands. A 40-minute documentary, Off the Leash, produced by Brian Wakerley, with interviews and editing by Steve Johnson, is a good biographical account from two men who seem like the older brothers of James Warren and Andy Davis, the lines of age beginning to truly take their toll on these members of the trio. The documentary explores lots of historical facts: the third album from pre-Korgis group Stackridge getting produced by Sir George Martin, the evolution of the Korgis' 1980 breakthrough (and only) Top 20 American hit, "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime," told in the artists' own words along with the booming voice of the narrator. The "unplugged" live sessions with John Baker, Warren, and Davis fluctuate from a three acoustic guitar sound to two keyboards and one guitar, or two guitars and one keyboard, their love for the Beatles flavoring the music they made at this Riverside Studios session in Somerset, Bath, in 2005. It is very dreamy and nice, with the 14 tracks all separated for easy access, but somehow the new live material isn't as compelling as the documentary and the video clips. There are the original videos for "Hold On," "One Life," and "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime," as well as a new -- additional -- mix of that song by DNA, the fellows who burst onto the scene by bootlegging Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner." Their work becomes the soundtrack to a nice new psychedelic video -- so you get three renditions of their biggest song on this collection, not a bad thing at all. If you go deeper into the DVD there's another biography, this one written onto the electronic pages to be read, along with what could be the highlight of the entire project, a superbly psychedelic (that word again) video of "Something About the Beatles." It is Fabfourulous, and something the viewer/listener will spin repeatedly. ~ Joe Viglione
