 Has the scope, but not the depth January 9, 2008
Andrew Wildey (Bath Uk)
This documentary does a pretty good job in covering the majority of note worthy electronic music of the 20th century. From the early electronics and music concrete of Karlheinz Stockhausen and Pierre Henry, to electro of Kraftwerk and Can, right though to detroit techno pioneers Juan Atkins and Derrick may. The problem is that the whole thing comes across like some hippy rave video. It lacks any proper narration and all the interviews are just so short and shallow that you barely get anything more than an introduction. Then by the end it completely looses any direction at all, and just rambles aimlessly from pointless footage of some obscure rave in germany to interviews with 'avant-garde noise terrorists' that no ones ever heard of. And this edited with needless MTV style stock footage of random stuff. Dont get me wrong, it's on the right track to start with, but it just takes off a bit to quick and de-rails. Check out Pump Up The Volume or Scratch if you want to see a well made, well research documentary.
 Best Documentary about electronic music July 7, 2007

Modulations is for me the best documentary on popular electronic music. It follows the music all the way from Stockhausen to Goldie. It features many of the major innovators, has a great sound track and takes a wide overview of the musical scence.
Modulations does looks at the culture including drugs, free parties, raves and ultimately commercial clubs... however unlike other documentaries I've seen this is not the main focus. The music and people are the focus, the drugs and scence are the backdrop.
Can't recommend it enough.
