"The first new recordings in 22 years from avant-rock titans Mission of Burma, whose recent reunion concerts have sold out major venues across the nation. ONoffON is a work of staggering complexity, showcasing a group just as exciting in 2004 as they were in 1982. Produced by Robert Weston (Shellac), the album brims with all the raw power of their '80s releases Signals, Calls, and Marchesand Vs., yet reveals tones, textures and lyrical themes unimaginable the first time around."

Title:	Not a Photograph: The Mission of Burma Story
Label:	MVD VISUAL
Format:	DVD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DR 4549DVD

"Not a Photograph documents the resurrection of the seminal post-punk band Mission of Burma, as well as their humble beginnings in Boston. For a band deemed too ahead-of-their-time during their initial existence, Not a Photograph follows Mission of Burma's 2002 reunion and their struggle to breathe new life into a tale that's already been written in rock's history books. Not a Photograph also features early footage from 1979 through the early '80s, a time before compact discs and MTV, when rock & roll still had some tricks up its sleeve, and when a group of smart, young artist/musicians formed a band The New Yorker labeled the most criminally undersung band of the 1980s." Feature: 70 minutes; Archival Live Performances, 6 Live Performances from the 2002 Inexplicable Tour, In-studio footage from The ONoffON recording sessions, WBZ-CBS local news segment, 1983. Dolby Digital; Region 0, NTSC format.
