23rd Century Giants: Story of Renaldo & The Loaf
(Brian Poole, David Janssen, et al / Blu-ray / NR / 2022 / Well Dang! Productions - MVD Visual)

Overview: The music documentary 23rd Century Giants — The Story of Renaldo & the Loaf (on Blu-ray March 8th, 2022 via MVD Entertainment Group and Well Dang! Productions), follows a decades-long friendship that drives an architect and a bio-medical scientist to make the weirdest music you’ve ever (or, most likely, never) heard!

Blu-ray Verdict: I mean, come on now, not many bands can boast that one of their albums, Songs for Swinging Larvae, was voted 14th weirdest of all time by Mojo magazine!

And thanks to the internet, these guys are now more popular than ever!

The documentary 23rd Century Giants: The Story of Renaldo & The Loaf (which has been remastered in HD from the original 16mm source) follows the musical careers of mild-mannered Brits Brian Poole and David Janssen, aka Renaldo & the Loaf, whose sonic experimentation with tape loops, household objects and repurposed musical instruments alike gave them a unique electronic sound that would inspire generations of adventurous music lovers for decades!

From childhood friendship, to landing a deal with the record company of their wildest dreams, then not speaking for 20 years only to reunite to world-wide cult status, this definitive history of the band features interviews with the avant-garde duo themselves, and virtually every key figure in their musical lives, unseen photos, unheard music and comedic cutout animations.

Also inclusive of previously-unseen photos, previously-unheard music and comedic cutout animations that visually represent the strangeness between these two perfectly, the band also made their long anticipated live debut in Vienna in 2018, footage of which is also included.

In closing, this touching story of the power of friendship and creativity will have even reluctant viewers/listeners eager to hear what Renaldo & the Loaf come up with next! This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Special Features of:

Renaldo & The Loaf’s “Backwards Film Study #1” 8mm film
Music videos for A Convivial Ode and Optimism
25 minutes of extended interviews and deleted scenes
1981 Ralph Records “Songs for Swinging Larvae” promo film
