The day has come - the critically acclaimed documentary on music, The Heart Is A Drum Machine is out internationally. Some reviews have started appearing around the internet as well, so please do drop a line if you've seen a good one. In addition to all this, new screenings of the non-DVD version are being scheduled and you can now add the film to your queue on Netflix. For more updates of this kind, follow the film on Twitter and/or become its fan on Facebook. There's a screening tomorrow for those of you who are in Hollywood.
If you have not pre-oredered the film on DVD yet, as said before, it contains a 25-minute interview with John instead of the abbreviated one featured in the version that's shown in movie theatres and there's also a performance of Elton John's "Rocket Man" done by Maynard James Keenan of Tool. Preorder the DVD here.
Also, the time has come to announce the winner of the DVD competition.
62 people entered the competition and 60 of the entries were valid, while the remaining two were obviously spam. Asked to answer the same question as the one in The Heart Is A Drum Machine, "what is music?", the visitors of Invisible Movement have come up with incredibly insightful answers, even though only any on-topic entry would've brought them a chance to participate.
I have put all the 60 names on little pieces of paper and put them inside of an "Under The Bridge-style hat" (that one wasn't a joke) and I asked someone from my household to pull one of the names out. In the following video, you'll see how the whole thing went and you'll see how the winning entry was pulled out of the hat!
The winning participant is from Germany and here's how they responded to the question:
Music is the language of the soul, not everybody speaks it well, but everyone understands it.
Congratulations to Thai N. aka Phunkymonks, who has been emailed to supply their data, so it can be forwarded to Sneak Attack media in order for their DVD to be sent to them as soon as possible. Congratulations to everyone else as well, this was impressive and it has definitely spun-off a new idea where the oldschool Saturday questions could turn into monthly contests. What do you all think about this?

Congratulations Phunkymonks!!
I really liked your definition
Anyone know when this will be out in europe?
Hey just backing up what that Chris G, does anyone know when it will be out in europe, UK specially??
Iva, love your accent! (Sorry , Americans are weird about accents!) Also, just an idea from next time to maybe save YOU some time.... how about printing out the comment list and cutting those up so you don't have to hand write all the names? Just a thought you may have already thought of that, but not done it for other reasons.
Congrats to the winner!
Conga-rats to the winner and really enjoyed reading everyone's posts on the topic.
Congratulations Winner!
I saw it was available on Netflix earlier, went to watch it after work and they've taken it off the Instant Watch Queue! I couldn't believe it, I was looking forward to it all day!
As an Englishman living in the USA I want a Region 2 copy, I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer then for the European release.
Hi, Chris. It was taken offline because our friend Travis, a great new media professional and a mod over there on the board noticed that audio was out of sync and informed Netflix of the error. I assume they'll put it back as soon as it's corrected.

To everyone who asked about regions - still waiting for the answer on that.
To everyone who asked about an European release - are you talking about an actual screening in a movie theatre or the DVD being released somewhere closer to where you live? If it's the second thing, I'd advise you to get it either way, the post costs are tolerable, even for us in countries with lower standard of life, really.

Congratulations Phunky Monks!
The text is pretty and inspired:)
And do not worry for the accent, I don't speak very fluid the English language, and to write it also (I'm Mexican).
And the hat is very graceful, hehe. I did not imagine that it was like "Under the bridge".
Very pretty!
Thanks for the congratulations!
I've never won anything before, so I'm really happy and
can't wait to see this, especially the special with John.
I'm glad you like my definition, I intented to keep it short and came up with several lines.
I chose the one I found most beautiful
Congrats Phunkymonks!
I didn't enter because i had already preordered through the link! And as much as I love music (more than anything else in this world), the question was too hard for me to come up with an answer.
My copy arrived, and I'll be watching it tonight!
Mine came in the mail today!! Can't wait to watch it!
