Disc Features 17 Music Videos, Live Footage & More, Including Groundbreaking ReVoice Studio Feature
BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 2002--Reprise
Records and Barenaked Ladies are amplifying the music DVD experience with the
November 5th release of "Barelaked Nadies," an innovative disc
offering fans new levels of quality and interactivity. The state-of-the-art
"Barelaked Nadies" spans one of the most wildly successful careers in
modern pop music by compiling nearly all of the multi-platinum Grammy-nominated
quintet's videos on a single disc. This comprehensive collection features 17
music clips (including the band's smash hit single "One Week"),
footage of seven songs performed live in concert in New York City and a gaggle
of extras, including crisp 5.1surround sound, hilarious running commentary from
the band members and the groundbreaking bonus ReVoice Studio feature.
Powered
by unique Synchro Arts technology, ReVoice Studio sets a new standard in DVD
entertainment by allowing users to record themselves singing along to the video
for "One Week" (with the lyrics highlighted Karaoke-style on the
ReVoice Studio screen). ReVoice Studio then syncs up the user's recorded tracks
to the mouth movements of Barenaked Ladies vocalists/guitarists Ed Robertson
and Steven Page. When the video is played back, Robertson and Page appear to
sing with the users' voices. Through e-mail, users can then share and compare
favorite performances with anyone else owning a copy of "Barelaked
Nadies." This is the first interactive product of its kind to appear on a
music DVD.
"As
fans of Barenaked Ladies, we were thrilled to produce a ReVoice Studio version
of 'One Week,'" says Graham Stevens, Director of Marketing and PR for
Synchro Arts Limited. "It's a terrific, upbeat song that perfectly fits
the fun nature of ReVoice Studio. We worked with some visionary producers on
this disc and look forward to developing a range of ReVoice Studio products
with the great team at Warner and Reprise Records."
