14. The Heart Of The Matter
15. Desperado

There’s no artifacts on show, but sharpness is lost and there’s some blurrymotion with what isn’t the best NTSC-to-PAL conversion I’ve ever seen.Perhaps they should’ve left it the way it was. Presented in fullscreen, theaverage bitrate is a high and fairly steady 7.66Mb/s.
The sound can’t be faulted however with a dual Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1soundtrack, the latter sounding that bit more effervescent. There’s nothingin the way of multi-directional sound, but the extra effort brings across themusic so much better.
Sadly there are no extras to the disc whatsoever. Any dialogue between songs- and in a few brief words from the man as an opener – comes in 10 subtitledlanguages, but none of them are English, just: French, German, Italian,Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Dutch and Finnish.What’s wrong with providing lyrics in any language as well as English??
The menus have some subtle animation and music from Sunset Grill butaren’t particularly impressive and are on a very short loop.
