 Poor sound mix August 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Being a fan of the original Fields of the Nephilim back in the mid-late 80s, I really looked forward to seeing this DVD. Fortunately I rented it from Amazon before taking the plunge and glad I didn't buy it! The sound mix is poor - Paul's guitar is too loud, especially on the first song and the guy on the mixing desk obviously likes keyboards as this is way too high in the mix, sometimes drowning out the band. Some of the classic tracks from the Nephilim album had keyboards added for this live performance and ruined the tracks for me. Why have keyboard on The Watchman? Totally uneccessary.
No wonder the band haven't endorsed this release. Rent it like I did, but I bet the keyboards make you cringe.
 Last Exit For The Lost July 20, 2008

First things first, this captures the last filmed recording of the original, and some would say, classic Nephilim lineup in Dusseldorf in March 1991. Taken from a German TV broadcast on the Rockpalast show, it captures a clearly schizophrenic band trying to walk a path between their extended near-prog goth leanings and their original, heavier path. Musically the band are on fine form as a tightly coiled spring, and the performance is faultless. Unlike their previous live long form releases ("Visionary Heads" and "Forever Remain"), this captures a cinema verite moment of the bands life, with no overdubs or fancy visual tricks, presenting the band 'as is' in one take. Completists will notice an appearance of a few songs not on the accompanying "Earth Inferno" album as well.
About the only thing about the release about which I am unsure is that it clearly seems to be lacking the official Nephilim seal of approval : thankfully far far better than the "Genesis And Revelation" 3disc set of live material, shoddy bootleg mixes and ancient fan-circulated footage, it nevertheless does not quite reach the quality standard one would expect from the Nephilim's exacting standards. But its good enough, and, as an interregnum stop-gap between the 1990 "Visionary Heads" concert, and the long-awaited and delayed 2007 "24th Moment" concert DVD currently in production, it does a competent and enjoyable job of briging the gap. Worth getting if you have a spare few quid and want a new Nephilim experience.
