A friend of mine has been producing bit-perfect laserdisc captures of some great musical art films of the 80s. He sent me copies of Brian Eno's Thursday Afternoon and The Kitchen Presents: Two Moon July (1986) starring Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, David Byrne, Brian Eno, and others. TMJ really captures the explosion of the avant-garde pop scene in the 1980s.
It's great to have both the official DVD and the laserdisc of Thursday Afternoon, though neither are as true to the artist's intent as watching it on a CRT television flipped on its side.
Both are welcome additions to my library.
Here's the Eno film:
And a few highlights from Two Moon July:
