Product Description: Your dreams can take you beyond the mind's eye. So says the chunky, computer-animated head that introduces this collection of state-of-the- art computer artistry, before it breaks up and scatters. Original electronic music by Jan Hammer supplements the visuals, which are rich with mind-warping detail. If you've seen The Lawnmower Man (and can set aside for the moment how lacking in narrative elements it is), then you know what territory you're in here. You're likely to think of these animations, using computer wizardry as they do along with the trappings of virtual reality, making surreal connections from one image to another, and traveling through landscapes and construct architectures, as the kind of thing that would be championed by magazines like Mondo 2000 or Wired. And you'd be right. Fans of computer art and movie magic alike should feel very much at home in these construct worlds, and others might be fascinated to see what can be imagined in the surreal confines of cyberspace. --Jim Gay

Customer Reviews
Music video
This video is so good that I had to by 2 because people like it so much they took a copy home. I will have to get another one for me.

Not a DVD, a "motion cd"
In at least my case, what was sent to me was not a dvd, it was a so-called
"motion cd". Whatever that is (presumably a CD form of video probably before or separate from DVD) its not what you expect. I am trying to get my money back from a third party seller, we will see.

LOVE This Video!
Call me sentimental, but I grew up listening to electronic music before people knew what techno was. My father introduced me to greats like Jean Michael Jarre and Jan Hammer (who incidentally did the sountrack for this video). If you liked Miami Vice's music, this is the guy who did it. I used to watch this video growing up all the time before DVD. It is one of the most stimulating, yet melodic experiences you could have sitting in front of a television. Even if it is ancient computer animation, you can't help but love it or appreciate the time and detail put into the animation (which is why I see there are only 3 left).

Obsessed
I, like another reviewer, have seen it hundreds of times. But alas, my tape has been lost and I was ever so glad to see it available on DVD. The storyline and graphics are amazing, so completmented by the music. I saw the Mind's Eye in the late 80's or early 90's, the story where the fish and bird fell in love. I was at a dance club at the bar and it was playing on the television. Well, when I went to Turtle's (the old Atlanta GA record store), I bought "Beyond" by accident, and so glad I did because it was so much better! I wish the music was on CD so I could just listen to it in my car.

Bought it for the soundtrack
The movie visuals were really stunning back in the early 90's when this thing was made, and by today's standards, they are, well, kind of cheesy. But I bought the VHS and liked the music so much that I bought the soundtrack CD. And I liked the closing credits music so much that I bought the DVD just so I could rip the closing credits track. It's about twice as long as the actual song on the soundtrack CD and it's my fav. So I bought the DVD just to get the long-edit of the closing titles track. It's that good.
As has been said elsewhere, the track order is different on the DVD, so when I want to watch it, I have to watch the VHS. You have to understand that because it's a staple with my kids, I've watched the thing literally a hundred times or more! So the track order on the VHS is permanently etched into my head!
