    After achieving stardom by taking over the lead vocals of Genesis from Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins released his first solo album, Face Value, in 1980. This explores the album's making in a one-hour documentary film, with Collins himself providing the bulk of the insightful commentary. From his home studio, he discusses how the lyrics to "In the Air Tonight" wrote themselves after his painful divorce and why a drummer would never use a drum machine. Also interviewed are engineer Hugh Padgham, producer Ahmet Ertegun, Genesis colleagues Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, and many of the studio musicians. Songs such as "Behind the Lines", "I Missed Again", "The Roof Is Leaking", "This Must Be Love" and, of course, "In the Air Tonight" are excerpted in both home and concert footage (some of it previously unreleased), and Collins accompanies himself at the piano in a wrenching "Please Don't Ask", which was cut from the album. In the two decades between the original album's appearance and this 1999 video production, Phil Collins has gone on to become an international solo star, but many still consider Face Value his finest album. This excellent documentary shows you why. --David Horiuchi

From the barrios of New York City to the roots-culture of the Caribbean Salsa captures Latin music in all its joy vitality and improvisational brilliance. Celia Cruz is shown in rehearsal. Charlie Palmieri instructs a class of children in the seminal Latin rhythms - bomba mambo rhumba etc. Tito Puente plays music at a wedding in the Latin community. Ruben Blades demonstrates the ways politics and music can work together.

Through it all the rhythms and melodies of salsa provide a vital soundtrack for the emergence of an entire people.
