A hit and miss affair which flits frantically from pretention to mildly diverting and back again. 1 Giant Leap is a new take on the Baraka/Koyaanisqatsi kind of film, showing 'highlights' of life on earth, lobbing in some philosophy and popular culture to keep the Red Bull generation interested. Highlights include the ever-sharp insights of Kurt Vonnegut, dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson and some truly inspired visuals. The downside is the same as with most of these macroscopic attempts to show the find out more...

Seventies costumes are abundant in this celebration of the ultimate kitsch band. There's loosely a plot in amongst the concert footage. This consists of a deejay chasing the band through their Australian tour. Not exactly thick with storyline, it is however, done with self-depreciating humour and a dabble of panache. find out more...

A group of legendary Cuban musicians, some as old as their nineties, were brought together by Ry Cooder to record a CD. In this film, we see and hear some of the songs being recorded in Havana. There is also footage from concerts in Amsterdam and New York City's Carnegie Hall. In addition, many of the individual musicians talk about their lives in Cuba and about how they got started in music. find out more...

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...

Jack Johnson's first break into the public music arena was when his composition 'Rodeo Clowns' was chosen to be G-ILove and Special Sauce's first single off their 1999 album 'Philadelphonic'. He had long been a huge figure in the surfing world, having been born and raised in Hawaii. He fast became a renowned surfer and scored a pro contract with Quiksilver before he had left high school. His implicit creativity led him to study and graduate with a degree in film at Santa Barbara. This then led t find out more...

This hybrid of a film, part back scenes documentary (interviews, rehearsals and backstage footage as Jacko prepared for the never to be done London.shows), part live footage and part video hits is seamlessly put together in a wonderful tribute to the man we would have loved Michael Jackson to have been, a singer without a hint of the narcotic stupor he was rumoured to have fallen into, no destructive revelations from our gutter press and no little boys hanging around backstage. This is Neverland find out more...

A beautiful and evocative film using time-lapse and slow motion photography, choreographed to the eerie music of Philip Glass, to make comparisons between different types of physical motion. The film progresses from purely natural environments to nature as affected by man and, finally, to man's selfmade environment; devoid of nature, in chaos and disarray, but still following the patterns of natural flow as depicted earlier in the film. Through this the film conveys its key message, which is Koy find out more...

The rock bands rock band, Led Zeppelin have influenced just about every guitar heavy pop group (both the great and the grim) since their spectacular rise to super stardom at the beginning of the 1970s. This double disk compilation features lovingly restored, previously unseen footage from the Royal Albert Hall in 1970 up to what would prove to be their final UK concerts at Knebworth in 1979 and as it is produced by the great Jimmy Page you just know its a blinder; Though curiously 'Stairway To H find out more...

A monstrous five hours of Marc and the boys strutting their stuff. T-Rex's only major concerts, a host of interviews and a wad of previously unseen footage. Glitter heaven. find out more...

A documentary of just about the best contemporary pop band our wee isle has to offer, and though this may confirm many of your suspicions about great big nappy rash inducing sulks, frankly it just adds to the entertainment, and damn, harbingers of doom and contemptuous of our mediocrity they may be, the music is still inspired. find out more...
