The debut album A Certain Trigger by the Scottish group Maxïmo Park was somewhat snowed under in the Netherlands in 2005 by the wide range of British post-punk bands and thus found a poor response. In England it was different, as witness this DVD on which the group performs in front of a frenzied audience at the Brixton Academy in London. The songs from the debut here get energetic performances
… with theatrical frontman Paul Smith in the lead role. The group still does not excel in originality (influences such as XTC and The Smiths are very obvious) but with Found On Film delivers a beautiful and tasteful product. The DVD has an exemplary design, has a beautiful sound and is filled with extras such as video clips and a tour diary. It is packaged in a bound artistic photo booklet and includes a CD with BBC radio sessions in addition to the DVD. A package that you, as a fan, cannot ignore. (MR)more
