• Nomi Song-Klaus Nomi Odyssey | DVD | (17/10/2005) from £10.78   |  Saving you £-2.79 (N/A%)   |  RRP £7.99

  He came from outer space to save the human race. Part documentary part music film part sci-fi The Nomi Song is a 'non-fiction film' or maybe even an oral history. It's not just the tale it's the telling. But it is also visual partly because Klaus himself was so visual someone who's main concern was putting forth an image of himself in everything he did - literally illustrated by the photos films videos and artworks that go with it and featuring many never before seen live performances. However there are also the images that the stories conjure up images that no actual picture could capture that emerge out of impressions memories and even exaggerations fermenting in somebody's brain for twenty years. It's like a novel with a whole cast of characters and supporting players - revealing themselves as much as (and sometimes more than) they do Klaus - with subplots background stories flashbacks and contradictions.

• Phantasm I/Phantasm II/Phantasm III (Box set) | DVD | (06/09/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £39.99

  Jody is the kind of guy that every 1970s teen looked up to. He's in his early 20s, has a cool car, splendid '70s hair, leather jacket, plays guitar and (naturally) snags all the girls. His little brother, Mike, in particular, admires him and emulates him at every turn. Things start to go astray, however, when the two brothers and their friend Reggie attend a funeral for a friend. Mike notices a tall man working at the funeral home; in the course of his snooping, he sees the tall man put a loaded coffin into the back of a hearse as easily as if it was a shoebox. Jody doesn't believe his little brother's stories, though, until he brings home the tall man's severed finger, still wriggling in what appears to be French's mustard. From there, the film picks up a terrific momentum that doesn't let up until the sequel-ripe twist ending.Phantasm was one of the first horror movies to break the unspoken rule that victims were supposed to scream, fall down and cower until they were killed. Instead, Mike and Jody are resourceful and smart, aggressively pursuing the evil inside the funeral home with a shotgun and Colt pistol. Furthermore, the script has a great deal of character development, especially in the relationship between the two brothers. The film even has a surprisingly glossy look, despite its low-budget origins, and little outright gore (except for the infamous steel spheres that drill into victims' heads). This drive-in favourite was a big success at the time of its release, and spawned three sequels. Little wonder; it includes an inventive story, likeable characters, a runaway pace, and, of course, evil dwarves cloaked in Army blankets. The end result is one of the better horror films of the late 1970s. Hot-rod fans take note: Jody drives a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda, the pinnacle of 1960s muscle cars, rounding out his status as a Cool Guy. --Jerry Renshaw, Amazon.com

• X-Mix - The DVD Collection - Part 2 | DVD | (01/04/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Continuing to combine visuals from imaginative digital animators with a soundtrack by electronic dance music's leading artists and DJs the X-Mix series had by the mid-90s become continental clubland's visual materials of choice. As the series matured the animations began moving from abstraction into stand-alone virtual landscapes. Beyond The Heavens to a mix of classic groovy techno sculpted by the UK's Dave Angel had a futuristic almost sinister atmosphere. It includes crucial tunes by Kenny Larkin Sun Electric Josh Wink Ian Pooley and Dave Angel himself. Digital deserts and industries of the imagination were explored on Wildstyle where the sounds were provided by Munich's DJ Hell - a decade of underground techno and house fashioned into one long mix and including crucial tracks such as Bernard Badie's Can You Feel It Bobby Konder's Let There be House and Phortune's Can You Feel The Bass. The Electric Storm supplied further flights of computer-animated fancy - digital worlds orchestrated to a long morphing mix from The Shamen's Mr C. Both a voyage into virtuality and a journey into the spirit of the beat. 'It's about human evolution' said Mr C.
