CD - Audio 'Journeys By DJ: 70 Minutes of Madness' Coldcut (2002 Ninja Tune)
'Journeys By DJ' mix album, "70 Minutes of Madness", which was released to rave reviews and declared the 'Best Compilation of All Time' in 'Jockey Slut' magazine, 1998. Matt Black was pioneering the concept of VJing at diverse parties such as the legendary Telepathic Fish, Sabresonic and The Big Chill. And the first fruits of this collision of audio and video were to be found on the free CD-Rom which accompanied the CD. It was, however, only with the tours that followed the record�s release that a wider audience began to get an idea of what Coldcut were up to. To promote their work live, Coldcut designed their own VJ software, 'VJamm', allowing the live re-creation of whole audiovisual pieces. Video could now be jammed or scratched with as easily as sound and audiences were blown away by this new direction. Coldcut called the show CCTV and have presented is everywhere from 'Sonar' in Barcelona, the 'Montreux Jazz Festival', the 'Glastonbury Dance Tent', 'Roskilde', the 'Queen Elizabeth Hall', Steve Reich�s remix project launch party in New York and the 'Darklight Digital Film Festival' in Dublin - to name but a few. John Peel, incidentally, was a staunch fan of the group and, in addition to three Sessions during his lifetime, Matt and Jon were chosen to introduce the DJ section of the John Peel Memorial BBC concert night last year.
