Has anyone seen it? I'm not a DJ/turntablist myself (Traktor does it for me), but that dvd looks pretty cool. It was a bit expensive though, so i'm not sure if it's worth buying?

It's good, you could buy it and if you don't like it, take it back.

theres some cool sets in it and a lot of history. it tends to focus a lot on mix master mike and dj qbert. theres one cool scene featuring Dj shadow at this record store in california sifting through millions of records with midnight ina perfect world playing in the backround. i dont know if its worth buying because its one of those things where you see it once and its cool but if you keep watching, it gets pretty boring.. i'd try renting it or wait for it to come on tv (where i saw it)

don't download it, buy it, it's a great documentary. the dvd has hours of bonus features, don't be cheap. worth it for dj shadow's speech on humility alone.

did anyone see this last night on Channel 4 (UK) It was very interesting. Shows a lot of the influences of people like Shadow, Cut Chemist, Qbert etc and i learnt a lot of new stuff. There was a clip Roc Raida DJing in 96 and he was doing this amazing breakdancing style stuff and spinning round while mixing expertly, it was tres cool.

i've bought it now. it's ok, i like it. lots of cool bonus material on it, especially the "how to rock a party" clip. if you watch carefully, you'll see the audiophile vinyl of Drukqs on the top of his vinyl shelf. :)

i watched this couple of days ago for the 2nd time...they're all good, but i think they think a bit to high of them selves.
i liked the dj krush part...too bad it was so short...they presented him like a new level in turntablism, which i very agre with. he's awesome.
that part with dj shadow in that big storage is awesome as well... it gives a great idea to people what music/djing is all about.
all those other people (qbert, dj mike,...) are great at what they do as well, but they kind of focus too much on technique and not so much on the music imo.

i'm not big into turntablism, but i was really interested in seeing this film because i heard it was great. i was kind of disappointed with it - i didn't think it was such a great documentary. i didn't find it very informative, and i didn't really like the interviews. maybe my expectations were too high...
but if someone is hardcore into this type of music, i could definitely see how one would enjoy it regardless.

the coolest shots were those from various gigs, where you see all those hardcore fans enjoying the show, and djs having a good time...

Exactly how I feel. All these turntablists hailed for their skill could never make an album half as good as Shadow.
