Just finished watching the documentary. It genuinely feels nice to see all the artists from around the globe give their take on the scene and the music as it is and talk about the influences. Most of them I only know from their handles on soundcloud or youtube titles so seeing them have an unassuming physical shape is quite a wonder. My personal surprise is MPM, I didn't think he would do it, his personna already tried to escape the internet before a few times, so him voicing out something seemed almost out of fantasy world.
John Carpenter's narration is the bomb and, along with the synthrider scenes, gives an air of quality that the interviews by themselves don't really carry often enough. The synthrider also helps the documentary to attain a cinematic charm that the soundtrack roots of the genre echo.
What I'm not happy is the structure of the documentary, the way it tries to make up for the lack of continuity makes some of the interviews feel forced to me. Said progresion is also hurt by ocassional odd pacing in the edit.
Some of the information, mostly in the second half of the doc, is very surface level and unlikely to educate anyone. I think it was an error to try and showcase history of electronic music through the lens of the artists when it sounds like they didn't really talk about that in depth at all.
Lastly, though the interviews had to be edited down, the rest of the material could really appear in some other form. I'm certain each subject could get a separate video issued featuring just them as it's more than likely that more stuff was shot or interview taken.
