The Jesus and Mary Chain: Automatic

About This Movie

So, here we have 'The Jesus and Mary Chain: Automatic,' which is basically a treasure trove for fans of the band and the era. This DVD showcases not just the promo videos, but also the raw energy of their TV performances and some candid interviews from when they dropped the album back in 1989. It's like stepping back into that late '80s alt-rock scene where everything felt a bit gritty and real. The sound is quintessential JAMC – layered, atmospheric, with that trademark feedback and catchy hooks. It really captures the band's essence, both visually and sonically, giving you a peek behind the curtain of their creative process during a pivotal moment in their career. Just a good watch for anyone interested in music history.

This release is a DVD that came out alongside the 2011 re-issue of the classic album. There’s been some buzz among collectors regarding its scarcity, especially since it includes both the music videos and TV performances that are often overlooked. It’s not just a rehash; it dives deep into the band's vibe at the time, which many fans find fascinating. Keep an eye on this one, as it tends to pop up in specialized circles but isn’t always easy to find.
