If you, like me, are a big fan of Tom Verlaine and Television, and you've already scouted out Verlaine's various solo recordings and albums like the iTunes-available
Live at the Old Waldorf, then you could do worse than check out Kino's new
Tom Verlaine and Jimmy Rip: Music for Experimental Film. Largely recorded during a pair on concerts in Portugal and Spain, the DVD features Verlaine and Rip as they play alongside an assortment of early 20th century experimental film classics. The DVD includes seven films, including Leger's
Ballet Mecanique and Man Ray's
L'Etoile de Mer, and the music by the two guitarists is mostly poignant, lovely and perfectly timed to the emotional temperatures of the films.
