Hay muchos a quienes no les gusta de ver videos ya que no representan el real espiritu de una banda, sin embargo, para quienes gustan de Travis es interesante tener este DVD. Existen actuanciones en vivo bastante rescatables y en general el DVD da cuenta de la historia de Travis. Lo recomiendo, un grandes exitos con imágenes.

The bulk of this DVD is the music videos, and they are what it does best. The video and sound quality is superb, and it helps that most of Travis's videos are wonderful, too. Fans will be delighted to have all of the band's videos on one disc. This DVD also includes videos of two songs--"Coming Around" and "Walking in the Sun"--I had never heard on their albums, which was a nice surprise. Other than the core music videos, I most enjoyed the live videos of Travis performing a few of their hits.

The short, documentary-esque making-of vinnettes and throwaway intros to each music video, however, were so short and random that they usually didn't make much sense, and I had no desire to watch them a second time. A few were interesting and relevant, but too many were simply short clips of the band members goofing around on their tour bus. The typical "making-of" extra generally consisted of very short, quick cuts of the video's set edited together, providing little to no insight into the directors' and band's work. Maybe they'll do something for you, but they didn't for me.

This DVD would still be a good value if it only contained Travis's 17 music videos, but luckily it goes a little further than that. And while I didn't consider most of the extras to be of much value, the core content is. "Singles" is probably only a diehard Travis fan's DVD, and in my case, that was just what I wanted.

Awesome Videos !!!.......2004-11-13

I took the risk and bought this DVD although in Amazon's listing appears as a CD (audio). Fortunately I got what I wanted. This is a great DVD with all Travis videos and additional footage. If you want to buy the VIDEOS choose this item regardless of how it apparently seems to be the CD. The CD is also listed under a different ASIN number. I hope the guys from Amazon correct this misleading classification.

Guilty pleasures galore.......2004-11-07

Travis have become a guilty please of mine ever since my sister bought me the man who on a trip back from the UK.

The man who sparkles with heaps of great songs, most of which feature here. There second album invisible band was a hit and miss affair with flowers in the window, caged and sing being the standouts on an otherwise disappointing album. 12 memories is the same a few great songs amongst mediocre album tracks.

What makes this an essential own for travis fans is it puts all those good songs on one disc and leaves the album tracks where they belong. All the songs are hits bar a few wayward songs near the end (all I want to do it rock)

Highly recommended
