Psycho Cybernatics

The great irony with this release is that it was perhaps the most innovative and interesting on the Shrapnel label, yet received little attention until years later. Yngwie Malmsteen's influence on young guitarists produced an endless supply of technically competent, but largely uninspired, effigies. Mark Varney signed the German guitarist/composer Bernd Steidl, who had been studying at the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) in California, after hearing a demo tape. Released without much press or fanfare, the recording was only mildly successful within the guitar-shred community. Perhaps the reason for this was that the core American audience, primarily young, heavy metal-influenced guitar students, were not ready for the level of sophistication presented in this acoustic format.

THE PSYCHO LEGACY examine l'héritage cinématographique indélébile laissé par les films PSYCHO et Anthony Perkins. Dans un style visuel rythmé qui couvre beaucoup plus que la fameuse "scène de la douche», le documentaire démêle scénario, casting et direction de tous les films, et examine leur longévité et leur succès incontestable dans le cinéma américain.
