GANG GANG DANCE Retina Riddim CD & DVD Brand New 2007 Experimental Avant Garde

This is the CD release of GANG GANG DANCE Retina Riddim CD & DVD from 2007. Post Punk release - Part of the mid-2000s post-punk revival, Brooklyn avant-gardists Gang Gang Dance eschew traditional song structure in favor of a sonic maelstrom of kitchen-sink percussion, tribal chanting, and strangely organic discord. RETINA RIDDIM exemplifies the band`s aesthetic sensibilities with audio samples of their music set to documentary footage, live-performance clips, and video imagery created by band member and visual artist Brian DeGraw.

Wild , quirky avant garde / experimental music & visuals! 

Here is a quote about the release: 

"... Retina Riddim is by no means a tour film, documentary, live video, or anything as remotely stringent. Though “art film” is a moniker that may be justly used to describe it, the term falls somewhat short of it’s mark. DeGraw began the process by compiling a soundtrack from the bands audio archives, going as far back as 2003 and using live recordings, practice tapes, field recordings and elements of previously released recordings; all of which was assembled together into one seamless half-hour piece of music. The video elements were then bought into play, with Brian exhuming hours of tape, drawing small pieces from the archives, creating wholly new visual vignettes, and drawing on documentary footage that captures the heights of the band’s live performances.

Included on the DVD is a fan film, GGDbyOP, shot and edited on the road by Oliver Payne, a friend of the band’s. This is comprised mainly of footage shot of Gang Gang Dance, on-stage and off, during their tours of both the US and Australia in 2004.

As an added bonus Retina Riddim also contains an audio CD cut together by Degraw sepcifically for this release. This was approached by him in much the same manner as the film, by assembling fragments of Gang Gang Dance music, mostly drawn from sound-checks and live shows, into one whole. Along with the CD and DVD is a fold-out poster designed by Mr. DeGraw..."

            I ship to Canada and the USA. 

            eBay's quoted delivery times tend to be over-optimistic. I hustle to carefully prepare your package, and physically deliver it to my shipping sources (a couple times per week). From there, it is out of my control. Please keep this in mind and be patient / kind. 

            Canada Post takes 1-3 weeks for regular mail nowadays. If you are in a rush, select expedited shipping.

            USA Shipping: 

            Once your order is paid for, I deliver your parcel to a depot (40 miles roundtrip -  so I only go once or twice a week) which collects parcels for pickup by a courier service. They send a truckload across the border, for processing by US Post (hence a total of 2-4 weeks for delivery - tracked).  

            Additional items are $3.00 each for shipping & handling (excludes box sets / thick packets). 

            Other Important Stuff Which You Acknowledge:

          Items may have bar codes punched / pen marked, or other form of cutout marking. Track listings / # of discs / record label / release date or other info might vary from eBay's item specifics section (their info is very often inaccurate). 

          Jewel cases: Used CD cases may be scuffed (after all they are used!) I don't send broken cases. 
          Cases are for protection of the CD only and breakage of protective cases during transport is not the liability of the seller.
