• John McLaughlin And The 4th Dimension - Live At Belgrade | DVD | (21/04/2009) from £17.15   |  Saving you £-4.38 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.77

  Guitar legend and composer John McLaughlin has appeared on some of the most important jazz fusion albums in the last 40 years from Tony Williams Lifetime and Miles Davis's early electric albums to his own ground-breaking outfits the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Shakti. In May 2008 he brought his 4th Dimension band to the Barbican for a sold-out concert. Jack Massarik' review in the Evening Standard said: His talent of course is intergalactic. Using a simple Strat-like black solid-body guitar he was in searing form on numbers old (Senor CS The Unknown Dissident) and new (Maharina Five Peace Band). No less dazzling in support were Hounslow's drum hero Mark Mondesir Leeds's ultra-versatile drum/keyboard wizard Gary Husband and Dominique Di Piazza a French bass-guitar virtuoso as blindingly fast as Johnnie Mac himself. This 104 minute DVD is the first complete McLaughlin concert ever presented on DVD. Filmed at a concert in Belgrade from the same tour it features a remarkable concert from the band performing an exciting set of tunes from McLaughlin's past repertoire. Tracklist: 1. Senor CS 2. Little Miss Valley 3. Nostalgia 4. Raju 5. Sully 6. Maharina 7. Hijacked 8. The Unknown Dissident 9. Five Peace Band / Mother Tongues

• The Great Bookie Robbery (Mini Series) | DVD | (20/08/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  This is the story of one of the most daring and dazzling robberies in modern history. There are few people who like a flutter who will not be familiar with the phrase 'The Great Bookie Robbery'. In the way that the Great Train Robbery caught the imagination of the public in the UK this headline grabbing heist entered immediately into Australian crime folklore alongside Ned Kelly; this is the story of the day the bookies got fleeced! The story began in Parkhurst Prison England. Here Mike Power (John Bach) a convicted felon conceived a plan for a robbery that would take place on the other side of the world in Australia. His well organized gang stole between $6 million and $12 million from the Victorian Club. An intricately planned and perfectly executed crime that was all over in the space of just 11minutes. The men Raymond Bennett Ian Carroll Laurence Prendergast Brian and LeslieKane and Norman Lee rented an office in the same building and hid the money there while making a fake getaway in a van. The only member of the gang to be charged was Norman Lee; he was subsequently acquitted. Later Lee was killed by police while taking part in a heist at Melbourne Airport. The story came out and the true identities of those involved were exposed when Lee's lawyer revealed the details of the crime.

• Cirque Du Soleil - Quidam | DVD | (27/12/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  When Cirque du Soleil first ventured beyond Canada's borders, its powerful, singularly ambitious "reinvention of the circus" seemed quixotic. Inspired by European precedents, this was a big top downsized to a more intimate, single ring, as the French-Canadian troupe jettisoned animals, banished the usual fright-wigged clowns in favour of funny folks versed in (gulp) pantomime, and focused on acrobats, contortionists and illusionists. Conventional wisdom would have held that such esoterica was doomed, but anyone lucky enough to catch that initial Cirque production (or, for that matter, any of its subsequent offerings) knows just how wrong conventional wisdom can be.Cirque's creative brain trust, including "guide" Guy Laliberte and director Franco Dragone, have crafted each production as an extended performance piece framed by recurrent characters, unified production design and underlying themes. Already mesmerising visual tableaux and astonishing illusions are given an added poignancy (and, occasionally, true gravity) by the productions' underlying comments about society, conformity, beauty and emotion; even without such conscious motifs, however, Cirque's sheer artistry is never less than riveting.Quidam revolves around an Everychild, living with self-absorbed (and deliberately archetypal) parents, who is whisked away to a vividly surreal world where Cirque's remarkable acrobats and artists take literal flight. Their tools are often prosaic--oversized flying rings, an open steel wheel large enough for a single inhabitant, skateboards, ropes--yet the resulting images are stunning. Injecting further drama and atmosphere is the score (here by musical director Benoit Jutras), which is as far removed from traditional circus music as Cirque's "acts" are from Barnum & Bailey. Performed with synthesisers, electric guitar, solo reed instruments, percussion and voice (often singing in a kind of Esperanto that's tantalising yet foreign), Cirque's music can be dismissed as New Age only until heard in its intended context. Quidam can't quite achieve the sheer, enveloping wonder that its theatrical source does, but for fans of Cirque du Soleil's unique performance art, this latest presentation sustains the troupe's magic. --Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com
