"This has nothing to do with Harold Arlen's gentle song - everything here is
tribal rhythms, industrial music, noise and fury. Selected at the festivals
of Locarno, Mar del Plata and Viennale, Romuald Karmakar's new documentary
introduces us to the core of the electronic scene, showing us how a live
performance is an experience full of vitality. Filming concerts and
performances by the bands Alter Ego, Captain Comatose, Cobra Killer,
Fixmer/McCarthy, Lettwerboys, Tarwater, T. Raumschmiere, Rechenzentrum and
Xlover in sequence shots, Romuald Karmakar's camera explores the
relationship between the audience and musicians in an electrifying hour and
a half."
