Review
Though devoid of spoken words, Pulse: a STOMP Odyssey speaks volumes. The creators of the Broadway smash hit STOMP now offer beat buffs a spectacular film exploration of global cadence, billed as "a tribute to world of rhythm that has inspired us." --Seattle Times

Review
"An IMAX feast for the eye and ear that roams the globe in search of a universal beat....Each act is unique yet has the same goal: to inspire." --The Associated Press

Review
Pulse managed to capture delicate, unamplified sounds: the ululating voices and ankle-rattle rhythms of the Moremogolo Tswana Traditional Dancers, from South Africa, and the lilting thumb-piano melodies of Qwii Music Arts' Trust Khoi San Music from ,the bushmen of the Kalahari desert, that may date back to the Stone Age. --New York Times

Customer Reviews

This DVD has been a long time coming
Pulse: A Stomp Odyssey works along the premise that music--and more accurately, rhythm--is the global language. To that end, the Stomp team has done a fantastic job of collecting and filming cultural rhythms from around the globe. For those expecting something along the lines of Stomp's live performances such as the ones showcased in Stomp Out Loud, prepare to be disappointed. But for those looking for a creative and fantastic journey of discovery, Pulse delivers in spades.

This IMAX movie say alot without saying anything...
If a Picture is Worth A Thousand Words...This IMAX movie proves that you can say alot without saying anything. If you like world music, you'll love this musical sound journey around the world. The creators of the theatrical production STOMP bring you this wonderful documentary which explores the sounds and music of everyday life from different cultures around the world. Ever since I saw this film at the IMAX theatre, I've been waiting for it to come out on video so I could show all my friends and family who missed it at the theatre. This moving display of humanity is worth watching again and again. Inspiring. Moving. Joyful.

Imaginative Percussion
You can't find a show of imaginative percussion that is much better than this one. Fun to watch, interesting use of everyday items. As imaginative as it comes. A great way to stimulate a young mind.
