Borrowed this Hardcore edition of documentary (3 hours +) from friend. Haven't watched yet more than 1/3 of length, but decided to post about it. I guess many have probably heard or even seen it, as it's been raved about.
I'm generally not that much of fanatic of gear in same sense as these people, but level of commitment to new approach in music and also some of the sounds are indeed interesting. I guess one could recommend check out hardcore cut instead of waiting to see feature length cut that premiers sometime soon. So many people, so many different kind of machines etc. I think in case like this "less is more" doesn't really count. More is more. And the hardcore edition does what more documents could do: Really extend the version for purpose of fanatics who could spend hours and hours, perhaps weeks, month.. or lives, with particular subject matter.
