Timed to coincide with the CD collection In Time, presents 15 years of innovative videos from alternative pop pioneers R.E.M. Throughout the ups--the multi-platinum success of 1991's Out of Time--and downs--the abrupt 1997 departure of original drummer Bill Berry--of their Warner Brothers years, R.E.M. has consistently illustrated their music with something more substantial than simple performance promos. In View boasts 22 videos, 16 interview and performance snippets from throughout their career, and three songs recorded live in London in 2001. Highlights include the Western movie motif of "Man on the Moon," introspective traffic jam of "Everybody Hurts," and fanciful animation of "I'll Keep the Rain (starring a sleepy-eyed, button-nosed pup with crown of gold). Bonus points for the cameo by punk priestess Patti Smith in "E-Bow the Letter" and hipster actor Richard Edson (Stranger Than Paradise) in the faux Italian melodrama of "Bittersweet Me."
