AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE

(in fact this is the info for DVD-Audio version of AFTP)

The band’s third album for Warner Bros. (and 8th overall) is a moody masterpiece. “Man On The Moon” became a smash radio hit and was accompanied by an award-winning video clip. Several other songs were released as singles (“Drive,” “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite,” “Everybody Hurts,” and “Find The River”), all of which helped Automatic For The People become one of the best-selling R.E.M. albums. The orchestral arrangements on several tracks are by Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones. The new DVD-Audio version of Automatic For The People includes Michael Stipe’s original typed & handwritten lyrics as part of the on-screen content, as well as new liner notes, a photo gallery with unseen outtakes from Anton Corbijn’s original sessions, a full career discography, and a 5.1 sample of a track from the band’s latest album, Reveal. Also on the disc is the original “Electronic Press Kit” that preceded the release of Automatic, featuring commentary from the band members – it’s the first time this rare documentary has been available on DVD. This DVD-Audio release has been mixed from the original multitrack master tapes to create the best, most dynamic sound possible.
