M People - One Night In Heaven DVD

One Night in Heaven, or--to be precise--one night in the studio on "Later with Jools Holland". Quite frankly, ever since this board-sweeping performance by Manchester's gift to Britfunk there's been little to compete with it in terms of sheer "must-see-againness", and now here it is, the kind of stuff the crisp'n'clean DVD format was surely invented for. All the hits are here, including the title track, "Angel Street" and "Movin' On Up", while the stonking percussion break in "Sight for Sore Eyes" is reason enough in itself to buy this item. The overall standards... here are high enough to allow us to forgive the inclusion of the ghastly-but-inevitable "Search for the Hero", buried as it is in the no-person's land between the middle of the concert and the finale. There's also a choir and a suitably zippy string section (dimly referred to as a "mini-orchestra" on the cover blurb), and Holland gets to join in a couple of times, perfectly at ease as ever. --Roger Thomas [show more]
