Happy Puppy Vintage Computers

Neither a live recording nor video retrospective--or even biography--this unique package is a combination of all three. The program begins with a set of songs recorded live in San Francisco for 1991's 2nd Wind. Rundgren briefly introduces each number, and interviews with band members, backup singers, and fans are sprinkled in between. It's an illuminating look at Rundgren's creative process, but only snippets of each song are included (presented in a four-camera, split-screen format). The Desktop Collection, on the other hand, consists of complete videos, most incorporating computer graphics. Ironically, the one that works best is "The Want of a Nail" (featuring Bobby Womack), from 1989's Nearly Human, which doesn't feature animation, but is instead a straight studio performance. The program concludes with a short interview with the musician billed as "TR-I" (the I is for interactive), the moniker Rundgren took on for 1993's No World Order. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The short films in this anthology were made during the '80s, when commercials, network logos, and station IDs made the general public aware of the new medium of computer graphics (CG). Many of the films are portfolio pieces, demos, student works, and experiments in technique, without real story lines or characters. The look and even the subjects were largely determined by what was easy to do on a computer: candy-apple colors, merry-go-rounds, foil-leafed palm trees, mirrors, and twisting point- of-view shots. A few of the films hold up well, notably the video to Mick Jagger's "Hard Woman," and it's interesting to contrast the weightless, metallic dinosaurs in "Chromosaurus" with the more realistic versions in Jurassic Park. Others have aged less gracefully: "Tony De Peltrie" looks even uglier today than it did in 1985. Classics surveys only one strain of CG history; among the important omissions are Peter Foldes' groundbreaking "Hunger" (1973), the experimental works of John Whitney Sr., Ed Emshwiller, Lillian Schwartz, and Larry Cuba, the scientific films of Jim Blinn, and John Lasseter's brilliant Pixar shorts. The resulting disk is more effective as eye candy or a historical overview of one specialized area of CG than as a general entertainment. --Charles Solomon

Long ago, in 1985, personal computers came in two general categories: the friendly, childish game machine used for fun (exemplified by Atari and Commodore products); and the boring, beige adult box used for business (exemplified by products from IBM). The game machines became fascinating technical and artistic platforms that were of limited real-world utility. The IBM products were all utility, with little emphasis on aesthetics and no emphasis on fun. Into this bifurcated computing environment came the Commodore Amiga 1000. This personal computer featured a palette of 4,096 colors, unprecedented animation capabilities, four-channel stereo sound, the capacity to run multiple applications simultaneously, a graphical user interface, and powerful processing potential. It was, Jimmy Maher writes in The Future Was Here, the world's first true multimedia personal computer. Maher argues that the Amiga's capacity to store and display color photographs, manipulate video (giving amateurs access to professional tools), and use recordings of real-world sound were the seeds of the digital media future: digital cameras, Photoshop, MP3 players, and even YouTube, Flickr, and the blogosphere. He examines different facets of the platform--from Deluxe Paint to AmigaOS to Cinemaware--in each chapter, creating a portrait of the platform and the communities of practice that surrounded it. Of course, Maher acknowledges, the Amiga was not perfect: the DOS component of the operating systems was clunky and ill-matched, for example, and crashes often accompanied multitasking attempts. And Commodore went bankrupt in 1994. But for a few years, the Amiga's technical qualities were harnessed by engineers, programmers, artists, and others to push back boundaries and transform the culture of computing.
