The Fall – “Perverted by Language/Live at Leeds” DVD A reissue of an earlier full-length video, dating around the time of Brix’s first appearance, coupled with a (pre-Brix) performance at Leeds University in ‘81. “Perverted By Language” section features Fall songs set to visuals (i.e. videos), both “conceptual” (from featuring the band hanging out at the local bars and soccer/football fields to dining with giant insects on their faces while Mark E. does the soft-shoe) and live, interspersed with interview footage of Mark E. himself. The “Live at Leeds” segment (more concert footage) might not reveal the band to be a Kiss-level spectacle – close-ups of hands fiddling on instruments are the extents of the effects – but even if you’re not 100% riveted to your screen, the music shows the Fall to be at one of their peaks during the time this was filmed, with good SQ and not bad VQ (a tad dark in spots, but trust me, you’ve seen worst). Definitely recommended!! David @ www.cherryred.co.uk |
