Limited edition deluxe version! Only 500 copies made. The collector's edition packaging features exclusive cover art in a sleek, tri-fold wallet and includes a kit to make a working phenakistoscope. When opened the package exposes two stands, shaped in Robyn's silhouette, which hold the rod and the components of the scope. Each disc of the deluxe CD+DVD package has unique artwork that creates an animation when placed on this one-of-a-kind phenakistoscope.
I Often Dream of Trains in New York was recorded live at Symphony Space in New York City in the fall of 1008 during the US leg of Hitchock's highly anticipated "I Often Dream of Trains" tour. Deftly shot by acclaimed director John Edginton, and originally aired on the Sundance Channel, this concert film DVD (and accompanying audio CD) captures the cult songwriting icon recreating one of his most intimate and haunting albums in its entirety. Robyn is joined by Trains tour-mates Terry Edwards and Tim Keegan as well as guests Gaida Hinnawi and Amir El Saffar from the Robyn-led band seen in Jonathan Demme's stunning film Rachel Getting Married. As its title suggests, I Often Dream of Trains is a glimpse into the phantasmagorical mind of the artist himself. And I Often Dream of Trains in New York captures him fantastically raw and singularly in-the-moment - in other words, quintessentially...Hitchcock.
