ALBUM REVIEW
Following the considerable success of IQ's 2004 Dark Matter studio CD, this new double DVD release will be a welcome addition for all IQ collectors since it features two complete concerts from the 2005 "Dark Mattour" tour, the first with ex-Robert Plant drum virtuoso Andy Edwards. The two concerts are however very different in atmosphere: Disc 1 features the band's highly acclaimed headline concert at NEARFest 2005 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania from the rarified atmosphere of the Zoellner Arts Centre Theatre, whilst Disc 2 features the performance from the rough-and-ready outdoor stage at the Burg Herzburg hippy festival in Germany. Both discs are packed with extras including additional footage from the soundcheck at NEARfest and the preceding concert in Montreal, plus "Stage and Screen" tour diary. NTSC/All Regions.
