eheads box set review

It's just now that I was able to blog about my eheads box set experience in detail. My box set is a month year old now as I bought it last 9/11 at the Greenwich restaurant, Megamall Branch. I purchased the set for Php 2,500.00 and since then, I've never regret having it (uhm.. except for a piece that I'll discuss later in this post).


Inside the box are the following stuff: a cool shirt, a magazine, 10 original eheads cds, and a documentary in dvd format. The set comes with a Greenwich Overload Pizza, 2 Spaghettis, 2 Chickens, and a pitcher of a softdrink. Not bad at all for a big fan eh?

So let's discuss the items one by one.

Shirt




On the right is the shirt's design. As you see, an inverted is formed by a collage with the band member's faces with it. For me, it's so cool that I could always wear it in gigs or concerts. However, the size for me is too big. A bit more and it would make me look like a hiphop rapper.






Magazine

I haven't fully read the magazine yet. But I browsed over it and come into a conclusion that the book contains the Heads' history, some testimonials from the fans and people behind the scenes, pictures, and lyrics of the ten albums they made. It would be a little helpful for some fans if they've also included accurate guitar tabs or chords. Or it's too much to ask? Moving on...


10 cds


*There are 11 in this picture as one of them is the dvd documentary.

Here comes the soul of the whole set, the music that is being paid for. Whenever I get lonely or just plain tired, I'll lock the door, turn on the boom box, maximize the volume, grab my guitar, and sing with the tune of my all time favorites. They never fail to give me that certain kind of feeling, like that of an addict. The sounds make me feel euphoric, as if endorphins are being released by the pituitary gland, immediately distributing them evenly in all parts of my body. Ok, 'nuff said. Here's the list of the CDs (digitally-remastered) inside the box set:


1. Dirty Little Treasures
2. UltraElectroMagneticPop! (1993)
3. Circus (1994)
4. Cutterpillow (1995)
5. Fruitcake (1996)
6. Bananatype EP (1997)
7. Stickerhappy (1997)
8. Aloha Milkyway (1998)
9. Natin 99 (1999)
10. Carbonstereoxide (2001)

Still, there's this tunog-lata effect when you listen to them. But that's an essential ingredient to their music.


Pop-U-Mentary

This one? Fail. They could've just thrown in Pop-U! instead of making a lengthy slideshow. It even appeared as a powerpoint presentation with plain photos and videos in it. No offense but I really think a fourth grader could make something like this given a basic knowledge of the windows media player. Transitions were too slow, you could hit the fast forward without missing a thing. It could be appreciated if a compilation of the myxposed episodes were there since it has already been removed in youtube. Sayang.

But overall, it's a good deal. I read somewhere in twitter that the promo will end this October. Try to grab your own box now.
