Release Notes:

English LPCM (48kHz 16bit 2Ch)

The myth-makingly shy Arctic Monkeys will release their live
concert film ╡Arctic Monkeys at the Apolloπ on DVD on November
3rd.

Filmed at the Manchester Apollo, on the last show of their
2007 tour, and featuring an exclusive filmed introduction by
the band, the film will be shown at specific Vue and other
independent cinemas in the UK for one night only on Tuesday
14th October.

The film has been directed by Richard Ayoade who (though now
famous for playing Maurice Moss in the IT Crowd) is
responsible many great music videos: including the Arcticπs
'Fluorescent Adolescent' as well as The Last Shadow Puppetsπ
'Standing next to Me'. More info can be found here:
arcticmonkeysattheapollo.com

The 20 songs comprising the 76 minute show are beautifully
captured on 16mm film. The artwork, colours and stylings are
all reminiscent of the 1968 film, The Thomas Crown Affair, and
even the title of the film echoes James Brownπs iconic 1962
recording Live at the Apollo.

When seen on the big screen, audience involvement is so
intense; it is hard to resist spontaneously clapping along
with the audience at the end of each song. However, no matter
how meticulously and skilfully shot a film is, and though the
performances of both Alex Turner and Matt Helders are of
notable attention, no film can hide the shortcomings of its
content (or rather, the concept of watching a recording of a
live gig).

With the first eight songs passing wondrously by, the thrill
rapidly dissipates rendering the film as an exercise of style
over substance ╣ albeit a first-rate exercise.
