Synth Britannia is an excellent music documentary that aired on BBC4 last month alongside Kraftrock: The Rebirth of Germany and Progrock Britannia. It’s a shame that North American primetime can’t air such rich documentaries that treat its subject matter with the utmost respect while entertaining and enlightening. Even by allowing a song play for two minutes in the background rather than MTV-style 5 second soundbite snippets, the viewer is better able to gain context and understanding. Unlike trite wastes of airtime like Icons’ coverage of Oceansize. How about an unhinged perspective on the band?
