Documentary evidence that the enormous influence of German music doesn't begin and end with Kraftwerk. The main attractions on this two discer are a live performance from 1972 by the golden Can line up featuring vocalist Damo Suzuki and an excellent documentary spanning the bands career which includes TV appearances on The Old Grey Whistle Test and Top of the Pops. Its a shame that most of the other 'special features' amount to a load of text biographies but the (very) short film by Brian Eno is find out more...

The flashiness of David Allan Coe (who's prison shows make you cringe) contrasts with the simple charm of Townes Van Zandt (who struggles beautifully to juggle a Coke can, a bottle of booze a find out more...

Filmed in 1986 at a Maryland concert arena parking lot before a heavy metal show, this is an unvarnished, fascinating and Spinal Tap..esque anthropological study of American metal heads in their mid-'80s glory. A shed load of extras make up for the feature's 25 minute running time (though the bit with one now middle aged participant's exhaustive explanation of his record collection comes close to a cure for insomnia). find out more...
