A Perfect Circle - aMOTION (with CD)
A Perfect Circle - aMOTION (with CD)Say what you want about both Tool and A Perfect Circle being overrated, although in my humble opinion both statements are pathetically untrue, made by quick to judge music snobs who probably haven't a single shred of talent in them anyway.

A great bulk of the songs were remixed by Danny Lohner and some have either appeared on various soundtracks or on import CD-singles. Probably one of the most note-worthy moments is the "Constantly Consuming" remix of "The Hollow," which isn't so much a remix, as it is a reinterpretation, as done by former bassist (who is still working with the band) Paz Lenchantin. That's right folks. She provides all of the music on this version and even... | 11 | |
| Author: Danny M. Rizzo (Las Vega.. | Come on, a spoken commentary by Maynard? How cool is that, to find out what he was thinking when creating? You have to buy this DVD/CD. The remixes rock! The videos are awesome. Thanks APC for coming out with this value. These guys cannot make a bad product! For all the naysayers out there, come on and listen to the rhythm of the war drums and let your halo slip down a little to tolerate tilling your own grave to keep you level! Maynard rules! | 9 | |
