Every Echolyn fan should have this DVD
author: Charles R. Husson
Once this DVD became available again, I ordered it immediately, and was not disappointed when it finally came. The concert is great and the archival disc is entertaining and informative. The comments by the band during the 'Making of ATW' are priceless. I wasn't distracted by the visual effects, but I could have done without them. The audio is excellent (although not 5.1 as one reviewer said). If you are interested enough in the group to even be on this page,you need to order this before it becomes unavailable (again).

great dvd!!!!
author: midwest prog fan
This DVD showcases the truely unique approach Echolyn uses to deliver some of the best modern prog. on the market. There is no band more underrated, even in prog. circles. The first disc gives you the concert highlighted by the complete performance of the epic MEI, complete with Chamber Orchestra live on stage, as well as classics like As The World, Texas Dust and Dear Wormwood. The second disc is a nice documentary that gives you a good overview of the bands history. Stars and Gardens is a must have for any serious music listener.

ECHO OF THE PAST AND REALITY OF THE PRESENT
author: Louis Cossette
This is a great document to discover the band or to add to your collection of the bands'stuff. We get a full concert with great set list where the best is at the end where they play the 50 minutes mei song. The only downside is there's no light show at all, but who cares, the music come first with this band. The archives in the second disk are good and funny at times but mostly touching when you see them live in the small clubs just like i saw them 10 years ago for the price of 5$ in my home town.

a Prog fan must have

Echolyn's Stars and Gardens is an incredible event. Living on the left coast keeps me from having an opportunity to witness this great American prog band, however, Stars and Gardens is the next best thing. Incredibly tight production, nice camera work and awesome sound.
