Sugarcubes - The DVD

Sugarcubes

Sugarcubes – The DVD I really blew it with this band. In the eighties, I simply thought they were too weird and didn’t pay much attention. Then, Bjork developed into an international star, and I finally began to take notice of her exceptional talents. Alas, it was too late for the Sugarcubes, but this video collection does a great job of proving just how ignorant I was back then. “Sugarcubes – The DVD” is a short, concise and remarkably entertaining collection of videos, from an era when videos were usually incredibly awful. The truth is that these videos also suffer from cheesy production values and formless effects-laden silliness, but it is done with such an abandoned sense of fun that it almost impossible to not smile. Better yet, none of the videos intrude on the vision of the song, which allows me to appreciate the audio at least as much as the visual accompaniment.

Even better is the way that this DVD serves as a visual ‘greatest hits’ collection. Watching this makes it painfully apparent to me that the Sugarcubes were certainly one of the most creative music acts of their era. Their unique vision is made even more special by their Icelandic sensibilities – a country not known for producing globally famous pop acts - not to mention an exceptionally talented waif of a lead singer named Bjork. In this day and age, when television, stereo and computer all morph into one centralized entertainment system, why not buy a reasonably priced DVD collection of songs that can be utilized to full advantage on any one of them? If, like me, you missed the Sugarcubes in their heyday, you owe it to yourself to see (or hear) this DVD, since it functions perfectly as a ‘greatest hits’ collection, with optional video accompaniment.
