• Getting It Back: The Story of Cymande (Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (26/02/2024) from £7.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  In the racially turbulent UK of the early 70s, a group of black musicians came together in South London with a common love of rhythms and a message of peace. Cymande with the dove as their symbol combined jazz, funk, soul and Caribbean grooves to form a unique sound. Despite success in the United States, they faced indifference in their native Britain, becoming disillusioned and disbanding in 1975. But the music lived on, as new generations of artists imbibed and reworked their pioneering sounds in fresh ways. From Soul II Soul to De La Soul, MC Solaar to The Fugees, the Dove had spread Cymande's message far and wide, prompting their return after forty years. This is their story.

• MTV 20 - Jams | DVD | (24/09/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  20 Jams is a selection of videos that stretches back to the earliest days of hip-hop, through to contemporary 2001 R&B. Interspersed with period examples of MTV links, it showcases the music channel's extensive coverage of black music, albeit after a slow start. Run-DMC and Aerosmith's superb "Walk This Way" is a kicking start to this compilation, a mid-80s first contact between hip-hop and heavy metal, with the video demonstrating Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and the laceless Adidas boys coming to a working understanding that would prove massively influential. The awesome but often overlooked Eric B & Rakim follow up, before De La Soul's mellow and colourful "Me, Myself and I" heralded another radical shift in hip-hop story, wittily going back to a classroom setting to teach us the new style. Digable Planets and a George Clinton-like Humpty Hump offer their own stylistic divergences but then, as the video enters the 90s and beyond, it concentrates on some of the blander, less inventive, pop tendencies of R&B: Juvenile offers us every video cliché in the book; Monica's offering is visually drenched in the soft, dreary beige of her soft, dreary, beige ballad; while Method Man's interview segment, "You gotta make it look good ... nice and presentable ... sell more albums", is in miserably stark contrast to the invention of the hip-hop pioneers. Thankfully Erykah Badu, playing the role of harassed housewife-cum-diva in the video to "Rimshot", redeems the next generation. --David Stubbs
