• Dream Theater - Chaos In Motion 2007-2008 | DVD | (29/09/2008) from £19.31   |  Saving you £0.68 (3.40%)   |  RRP £19.99

  New York based quintet Dream Theater born at Boston's Berklee School of Music in 1985 and starting out under the moniker Majesty have released nine albums over the course of its career the most recent being their UK Top 30 release Systematic Chaos. Few bands inspire the type of fanaticism that Dream Theater does. The band-drummer Mike Portnoy guitarist John Petrucci bassist John Myung vocalist James LaBrie and keyboardist Jordan Rudess-have a unique relationship with their fans constantly interacting with them via the web in addition to continuously providing exclusive content to their legion of diehards. Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 documents their Chaos In Motion world tour which kicked off June 3 2007 at the Monsters of Rock Festival in Milan Italy and concluded almost a year to the day later on June 4 2008 in San Juan Puerto Rico. Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 features performances captured throughout the entirety of the tour unlike their last three DVDs Metropolis 2000: Live Scenes From New York Live at Budokan and Score all of which focused on a single concert event. Drummer and DVD creative director Mike Portnoy plumed his personal archives for footage in order to provide fans with the ultimate tour souvenir. He assembled over three hours of complete live performances taking footage from shows in Rotterdam Buenos Aires Toronto Boston Bangkok and Vancouver. The tracks were mixed and effectively brought to life by Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin Iron Maiden Rush). The second disc is packed with bonus material including promo videos live screen projection films a photo gallery and a 90-minute documentary that'll make you feel like you're riding in the passenger's seat of the band's tour bus as it takes you on the road and behind the scenes with the band and crew. It's like a virtual backstage pass that grants fans further unprecedented access. Tracklist: 1. Intro/Also Sprach Zarathustra 2. Constant Motion 3. Panic Attack 4. Blind Faith 5. Surrounded 6.

• Bach: Cantatas | DVD | (02/11/2001) from £14.98   |  Saving you £5.01 (33.44%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Taking the Bach Cantatas as a basis for a year-long pilgrimage in 2000, conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner led the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists on an emotional and artistically triumphant world tour to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the composer’s death. Many of the Cantatas were performed in religious buildings throughout Europe and even in New York, at appropriate times in the liturgical calendar. These performances feature Cantatas 179, 199 and 113, all composed for the 11th Sunday after Trinity, in marvellously dramatic interpretations by the Choir and soloists including soprano Magdalena Kozen, alto William Towers, tenor Mark Padmore and Stephan Loges. Gardiner’s mission to expose the delicacy of emotion at the heart of Bach’s deceptively simple melodies pays dividends in settings which range from baroque German cathedrals to the austere bleakness of Iona. Filmed by BBC Wales, the concerts create a moving spiritual journey in which the music itself is allowed to take centre stage thanks to the passion of the performances and, above all, to Gardiner’s vision of Bach’s continuing relevance in the modern world at the beginning of a new millennium. On the DVD: thanks to the crystal clarity of the PCM Stereo soundtrack and Surround Sound, it’s possible to reproduce at home the distinctive acoustics of the different venues where the cantatas are performed. The picture quality (anamorphic 16:9 ratio) makes for the standard television viewing experience but it’s the music which counts. Extras include a 60-minute documentary explaining Gardiner’s vision for the pilgrimage, with further performance extracts, giving a sense of the sheer size and ambition of the project--not least the logistical issues of moving a large group of performers around such a diverse range of locations. It also shows the extent to which the performers become absorbed by Bach’s music and through it, discover new aspects of their own spirituality. Extensive booklet notes include full texts of the featured Cantatas and the double-sided disc allows viewing in PAL or NTSC format.--Piers Ford

• Pathe Archive -A Year To Remember - The 1930s | DVD | (30/05/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Using rare news footage and interviews from the incredible British Pathe archive this extraordinary series provides a unique look at what made the news of yesteryear. With a comprehensive hour long programme on each year of the 1930s this 3 disc-set provides the definitive insight into the decade leading up to World War 2. In a world reeling from the Great Depression the decade was dominated by record levels of unemployment and economic hardship with newsreels doing their best to maintain morale. The growing fascination with technological progress was regularly featured showcasing the rapid developments in flight and speed in particular. The exploits of Amelia Earhart and Malcolm Campbell thrilled people up and down the country. The world was shrinking too with the first telephone call between Britain and Australia and the launch of the Zeppelin airships. Following the death of King George V Britain was soon to be rocked by the abdication of his successor King Edward VIII over his intention to marry the twice divorced socialite Wallis Simpson. His brother George VI the so-called 'reluctant king' proved an immensely popular replacement. The decade was an era of great and lasting political change. In Britain Ramsey MacDonald led the first National Government whilst in the U.S.A. Franklin D. Roosevelt assumed the presidency and urged his fellow Americans that the only thing to fear was fear itself and showed the way out of the Great Depression. However it was the rise of Adolf Hitler and his fascist regime in German politics that made the world bristle. Despite the diplomatic efforts of Neville Chamberlain with his promise of peace in our time war was officially declared in 1939. Other more light hearted events of the decade are included such as the first egg-timer alarms Fred Perry winning Wimbledon the first indoor ski slope and the introduction of an albeit rudimentary driving test! Relive all these events and many many more with A Year To Remember: The 1930s.

  In 1991 a band with the unlikely name of Manic Street Preachers came on to the British music scene proclaiming ambitions to make one album sell 16 million copies of it and then split up. A quarter century multiple hit records and one missing member later they are still here. Now this colourful and contentious band faces off with their equally colourful and contentious fans in a verité multimedia mash-up experiment that will turn the traditional rock ‘n roll documentary upside-down and shake it until all the change falls out of its pockets. For the making of No Manifesto the Manics provided unprecedented access. The film tells the story of the band’s rise from mouthy punks to international renown takes a fascinating look at the band's creative process and joins them on tour. By combining footage shot at home and on the road with rare archival materials and fan interviews that provide commentary lore criticism and praise No Manifesto gives a comprehensive look at a most unusual band.

  registrato durante il grandioso sound theories tour, in occasione della data sold-out tenutasi presso lo state theatre di minneapolis, where the wild things are e' l'attesissimo documento audio e video dello stato di grazia che sta vivendo il leggendario chitarrista steve vai. di origine italiana, ma nato e vissuto negli stati uniti, con oltre 15 milioni di copie vendute in carriera, steve vai e' senza dubbio uno dei migliori chitarristi del mondo. la sua tecnica, il suo stile e la totale padronanza dei solo, lo hanno reso il chitarrista piu' richiesto. in carriera ha suonato con david lee roth, whitesnake, nel supergruppo g3 (con l'altro asso joe satriani) e con frank zappa. soprattutto l'esperienza con quest'ultimo, che chiamo' steve per eseguire le parti piu' complicate dei suoi brani, influenzo' fortemente la tecnica chitarristica dello stesso vai che si ritrovo' catapultato in un eccentrico ma quanto mai formativo universo musicale. la continua evoluzione della sua arte trova la definitiva consacrazione in where the wild things are. le 2 ore e 40 del live contengono alcuni nuovi brani ed altri pezzi estratti dal suo immenso catalogo ri-arrangiati esclusivamente per questo concerto.
