A rewarding DVD if you happen to be a fan of this supergroup. This is a great disc as you get all the hits from their career.
Who are they:
UK pop group, comprising H, Claire, Faye, Lisa and Lee. They were at their peak at the turn of the century and notched up an impressive run of top ten hit singles.
On this DVD:
You get twenty videos, so pretty good value straight off. All the singles are included, from the early years up until 'Chain Reaction'.
Highlights:
Head for 'Here And Now' which is a feisty pop song with a superb set of chord changes to make even Abba smile. It will lift the spirits and leave you feeling elated. Good vocals on this from Claire too. I also recommend 'One For Sorrow' which is a great piano driven number with another Abba-esque chorus, this is what I would describe as the pinnacle of their career.
Decent slower numbers can be found in 'Heartbeat,' where the video is set in the snow, some amusing scenes where they attempt to ski. Another fine ballad moment is 'When I Said Goodbye' which is quite sorrowful and stirring.
Weak Moments:
'5,6,7,8' was the debut and has a cheap looking video and a naff dance routine, annoying and cactchy too.
Problems:
The dvd has an awkward menu system which makes it hard to navigate.
Good points:
A pleasing set of artwork on the front and back cover
Overall:
Good value, all the hits and perfect for fans of pop music
Summary: decent
