• Savage Garden - Superstars And Cannonballs: Live On Tour In Australia | DVD | (13/12/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Savage Garden, Australia's hottest export of recent years, are captured here in all their live glory as they hit their hometown of Brisbane in a triumphant sell-out homecoming gig. There is a fair amount of behind-the-scenes footage which serves to back up the roles that the two members of the band have adopted: singer Darren is the outgoing excitable one, attracted like a moth to a flame by the trappings of celebrity, whereas guitarist Daniel is the private and shy one, preferring to stay out of the limelight and just write songs. But with millions of records sold all around the world, sell-out tours, hysterical fans and a string of chart-topping singles, this unlikely pairing proves the old adage that opposites attract. All the hits are here--"To the Moon and Back", "Affirmation", "Truly, Madly Deeply", "The Animal Song" and others--but after a while the visuals do become very samey: with only two of them to look at, and one of them tending to stray away from the spotlight at every available opportunity, the poor cameramen don't have many options. The backdrop to the concert is a huge wall of multi-coloured blocks of lights, apparently based on memories of a trip to Blackpool (but without the rain, chip wrappers and drunken brawls, sadly). It's all very polished, and just a little bit sterile as it fails to recreate the atmosphere of the live experience. However, for those who were there it's a great lasting reminder. The DVD menu allows the viewer to choose multiple camera angles on a select number of tracks. --Helen Marquis

• Darren Hayes - Time Machine Tour | DVD | (21/07/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  After touring constantly for 12 months Darren Hayes is about to release a stunning live concert DVD of his most ambitious and critically acclaimed concert tour to date: The Time Machine Tour. Quietly selling out London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall Hayes audaciously toured a show that had more in common with Pink Floyd than Pop Idol. The show designed by legendary U2 and Rolling Stones designer Willie Williams featured amongst other things a 24 foot animatronic steel and neon origami bird and set pieces straight from a Jules Verne novel. The DVD marks the completion of a project that has seen Hayes graduate from pop star to label head and CEO of his own independent record company. A year before the likes of Radio Head decided to snub major label EMI Hayes had announced plans to go it alone via his own label Powdered Sugar - releasing his double album 'This Delicate Thing We've Made' with little fanfare. Just great songs intricate art piece music videos and a blistering live band. Accountants managers and suits and ties advised him against spending so much of his own money on such a show. But Hayes famously ignored them and took the elaborate production all over the UK and Australia. The DVD was shot in his hometown of Brisbane Australia on the final night of the tour. 'This was the tour I've always dreamed of. Bowie and Peter Gabriel made the blueprint for this type of rock theatre - and although it sounds morbid doing a show like this was one of my 'before I die' wishes. I simply had to do something like this once in my life and I couldn't think of a better moment than this period to try' Hayes said. Costumes designed stitched by makers from the Royal Shakespeare Company and set pieces by the folks who put U2 in a Lemon and George Michael in front of the largest video screen ever built - the show was a spectacle that had to be seen to be believed.
