Guy Martin aims to smash the world record for the fastest speed ever recorded on a Wall of Death, exceeding 50mph. Not only that, Guy wants to go even further and be the first man ever to break 70mph! First, Guy will learn how the Wall of Death spectacle grew in the early 1900s in the USA, before visiting the 'Ken Fox Troupe' to help construct the largest Wall of Death ever created for his stunt. Then Guy's education begins... He will visit fighter pilots to learn how to deal with massive 6G forces during his record attempt, modify his very own 'Anti-G' suit to counteract the effects on his body, and of course build a record-breaking bike to withstand the intense pressures he will face. Once the stage is set, Guy will risk his life attempting to land a most unusual speed world record.

Coldplay are on peak form in Live 2003, riding high on the phenomenal success of A Rush of Blood to the Head. This CD/DVD two-pack was filmed (on Super-16mm film) and recorded in Sydney's Horden Pavilion on July 21 and 22, 2003, during a year-long world tour and the medium-sized arena provides a fitting stage for the London-based rock quartet; not so grand as to overwhelm the music, but large enough to indicate their large and loyal following, which includes enthusiastic fans of both genders. Especially when played in DTS 5.1 surround, this 90-minute concert is richer, thicker and (of course) louder than Coldplay's studio recordings, lending a wall-of-sound expansiveness to the band's signature sound, which draws from such diverse influences as Genesis, Pink Floyd, The Verve, U2 and their own unique sonic landscape. "Politik" gets the gig off to a rousing start, and other impressive highlights include "Daylight", "Yellow", the as-yet-unreleased new song "Moses", and the popular hits "In My Place", "Clocks", and "The Scientist". And while the concert visuals are slick and professional (perhaps placing a bit too much emphasis on singer/frontman Chris Martin), this DVD and CD--the latter containing a truncated 70-minute version of the same performance--are best appreciated for their pristine audio quality. Culled from 400 hours of home video, the 40-minute "concert diary" represents a wasted opportunity, enjoyable for hardcore fans but offering no insight into the band or its individual members. Much better, then, to play the concert at healthy high volume, and appreciate Coldplay in the prime of their young career. --Jeff Shannon
