----------------------------------
Being a huuuge Darius fan and missing him on tour two years ago because I couldn't find anyone to go with, I couldn't wait for the day he released a DVD so I'd be able to get my Darius fix every single day.
' The Story so far' tells the story of Darius' rise to fame and shows how he copes with it in day-to-day life.
Synopsis ======== The Documentaries: --------------------------- Darius In India - lovely documentary showing Darius at an MTV awards ceremony in India. He performs three live songs and visits the city and talks to the crowds of people that flock to see him. He hears a group of children saying 'Isn't he the one who sang colourblind?' and feels humbled that they knew who he was so far across the world. It is nice to see a pop-star performing live and playing their own instruments without miming. And the crowds love it!!
Home Sweet Home - this documentary offers an insight into Darius' family life and he shows us around where he used to live.
Dive In - A bit about Darius' album Dive In and Tour two years ago(the one I didnt get to see)Some great songs and acoustic versions.
The Videos: ---------------- Colourblind (Original Video & Alternative Endings) - his first #1 song = from Dive In Album - released 4th Aug 2002. I remember hearing this song the day it came out on holiday in Torquay. I couldnt believe it was Darius. Love the video - he looks and sounds great singing in the middle of a desert :)
Rushes - Song from Dive In Album - released 25th Nov 2002. Highest Chart Position: 5 - ooh like this video - we get to see his band too!
Incredible (What I Meant To Say) - Song from Dive In Album - released 2nd March 2003. Highest Chart Position: 9 .Not keen on the video but what a great song - my favourite from the Dive In album.
Girl In The Moon- Song from Dive In Album - released 9th Jun 2003. Highest Chart Position: 21
Kinda Love (Original Video & Directors Cut) - Song from Live Twice Album - released 18th Oct 2004. Highest UK chart position 8. The video for Kinda Love was shot in Spain and features Natasha Henstridge (of Species fame) as the love interest.
Live Twice - Song from Live Twice Album - released 10th January 2005. Highest UK chart position 7. An odd video - whats with the horse?? but a very emotional, heartfelt song
The Making Of Kinda Love The Making Of Live Twice - Both very interesting for those fans who have never seen the making of these videos before. We also get to hear the song - which is a bonus :P They show you how much work is put into making just a 4 minute video.
The release of this DVD was so fast and there was no advertising or promtion of the product either. This factor will definately contribute to the low sales of this DVD. But it is definately a DVD I'd recommend to any music fan of any age as it has something to cater for everyone.
Not much more I can say but GO BUY IT! Many people think Darius is 'cheesy' but if you just get past the image you'll love the music.
