Orginally aired at 9.00pm on the 5th of July
2004, this fascinating BBC4 documentary concerns 1960's art and focuses on a
maverick group of artists who rejected the mainstream and forged new and
experimental approaches to art.
Beginning with the creation of the Indica Gallery and Bookshop and featuring
interviews with avante garde artists such as Mark Boyle, Gustov Metska, John
Latham, Yoko Ono and Otto Muhl, this documentary takes us through bizzare
pieces of performance art, the creation of IT magazine, and the now famous
14 Hour Technicolour Dream - probably the biggest "Tune In, Turn On & Drop
Out" event of the 1960's. Along the way we are treated to interviews with
Swinging London luminaries, such as Miles, John Dunbar, Paul McCartney and
Marianne Faithfull, who tell the story form their perspective.
The soundtrack features the psychedelic sounds of The Who, Cream, The Jimi
Hendrix Experience, The Soft Machine and - the main reason this DVD came to
be - The Pink Floyd. The Floyd can also be seen prerforming Interstellar
Overdrive at the UFO club (more commonly know amongst collectors as the
Granada TV footage), in what has to be the best quality yet... bar none!
Having been taken from a digital source, this DVD is of outstanding quality
and presented in widescreen format.
