Jeff Mills & Montpellier Philharmonic Orchestra - The Bells ( live - from the DVD 'Blue Potential')

Speechless....


DVD recorded live on July 2nd 2005 at Pont Du Gard, France.
(20th anniversary of its inclusion of UNESCO's World Heritage List)


The concert consists of fifteen orchestral reworkings of Mills’ tracks ranging from classics such as ‘Amazon’ and ‘Sonic Destroyer’ to more recent material from his soundtracks to ‘Metropolis’ and ‘Three Ages’. The arrangement is simple: Mills provides the rhythmic backbone with his trademark 909 percussive hiss and snare while the orchestra provides the melodic and harmonic elements.

"How we view ourselves can often determine the perspective and degree in which we see others and the world around us.
Each and every one of us has a view. Such a view, that I can shape the future of others and how they live, dream and look towards the future that we all hope is better and more faithful than our past.
This I believe is a common initiative."

- Jeff Mills -
