Notes:
"... Retina Riddim is by no means a tour film, documentary, live video, or anything as remotely stringent. Though “art film” is a moniker that may be justly used to describe it, the term falls somewhat short of it’s mark. DeGraw began the process by compiling a soundtrack from the bands audio archives, going as far back as 2003 and using live recordings, practice tapes, field recordings and elements of previously released recordings; all of which was assembled together into one seamless half-hour piece of music. The video elements were then bought into play, with Brian exhuming hours of tape, drawing small pieces from the archives, creating wholly new visual vignettes, and drawing on documentary footage that captures the heights of the band’s live performances. Included on the DVD is a fan film, GGDbyOP, shot and edited on the road by Oliver Payne, a friend of the band’s. This is comprised mainly of footage shot of Gang Gang Dance, on-stage and off, during their tours of both the US and Australia in 2004. As an added bonus Retina Riddim also contains an audio CD cut together by Degraw specifically for this release. This was approached by him in much the same manner as the film, by assembling fragments of Gang Gang Dance music, mostly drawn from sound-checks and live shows, into one whole. Along with the CD and DVD is a fold-out poster designed by Mr. DeGraw..."
