I have been a fan of m-flo since I first heard them. These guys are a totally off the wall Japanese Dance band. My friend Ashanti Luke is responsible for turning me on to them. And I have almost every release of theirs except some of their earlier videos and some of their singles that haven’t been available for some time. These are Japanese who were American School students in Japan, and were Originally Verbal the singer, Taku Takahashi the DJ and Lisa, but Lisa left the band to go solo. Her first album sucked, though he latest album Gratitude was very good. Well I was worried about m-flo, but I shouldn’t have, they did what they had done with the album m-flo turns it out which is a compilation of them with other singers and performers, and began releasing the m-flo loves singles with various different artists, which culminated in the album ASTROMANTIC and later INSIDE, and in fact they have released some new loves albums lately and have more on the way. Well this DVD is live footage and the existing music videos. Damn does this make me want to see one of their live shows!

This has video for all of the Astromantic tracks, either from a live show from 07-10-2004, or an 2 parties from 12-01 and 11-02 of 2004. And for the songs without live performances, with the actual loves guests, they show the videos for REEWIND with Crystal Kay and The Love Bug with Boy, and then have other videos for melody and Dragon Ash as well as ugly duckling remix of gET On. The disc is rounded out by some web videos and TV commercials for m-flo.

I
would have to say this is a must have for any m-flo fans. It shows how great they are live, though it is too bad it isn’t seen as a whole show instead of each song from the show. And showcases some of their excellent videos. i can’t wait for them to release a video of DOPAMINE with Emyli as that video has footage from the Vomit Comet! Nice.

m-flo rocks and I hope these guys start getting some US play. I could see them making it much bigger than many of the bands who have made it over here. They could do more loves with US artists, and they can sing in English as well. These guys rock!
