Go: The Very Best of Moby is not the career-spanning compilation implied by its title. Instead, it's based around 1999's Play, 2002's 18, and 2005's Hotel, and it adds a handful of tracks in an attempt to entice fans who couldn't otherwise justify the purchase of a disc that relies on very recent and readily available material. (Hotel had only been out a year and a half when Go was released.) With the exception of Everything Is Wrong's ambient epic "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters," Anders Trentemoller's fresh mix of "Go," and a rough-sounding live version of "Feeling So Real," nothing here references Moby's output prior to Play.

Eugene Goossens/LSO - Villa-Lobos: The Little Train of The Caipira (1960) 24-Bit/96-kHz Studio Master Vinyl & HR

Posted by nettz at May 11, 2011

As an introduction to the music of the Brazilian composer Villa-Lobos, you can't really do better than this little masterwork which is the toccata from his Bachiana Brasileira No. 2. It was inspired by a ride that Villa-Lobos took in 1931 on just such a train that was transporting berry-pickers and farm laborers between villages…
(Jean-Yves Duperron)

In the beginning of the industrial revolution, the Paris Commune was established in 1871 against the rich and the powerful, and violently repressed by the army that remained faithful to a tamer form of Republicanism. How could the love story between a young sales girl and a soldier unable to decide if he was pro or against the radical fashion? Two short months were needed for the answer to be found - in blood and tears, and under rain that washes all past memories. Any day, a New Babylon shop will open with frilly things for the bourgeois girls. The washerwomen will be there to wash them.

The Cremaster Cycle (2002) Movies

Posted by Someonelse at April 28, 2013

An epic five-part masterwork, The Cremaster Cycle is a celebrated evocation of the creative process by noted sculptor and performance artist Matthew Barney. The series is not now, nor will it ever be, available on mass-market DVD. The only place it can be seen is on screen in theaters. It was last shown in Columbus in 2003, when it screened it in five sold-out shows at the Wexner Center.

By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volume One (1954-2001) [The Criterion Collection #184] [ReUp] Movies

Posted by Someonelse at March 3, 2015

Working completely outside the mainstream, the wildly prolific, visionary Stan Brakhage made more than 350 films over a half century. Challenging all taboos in his exploration of “birth, sex, death, and the search for God,” he has turned his camera on explicit lovemaking, childbirth, even autopsy. Many of his most famous works pursue the nature of vision itself and transcend the act of filming. Some, including the legendary Mothlight, were made without using a camera at all, as he pioneered the art of making images directly on film, by drawing, painting, and scratching. Criterion is proud to present twenty-six masterworks by Stan Brakhage.

Histoire(s) du cinema (1988-1998) [Re-UP] Movies

Posted by Someonelse at Aug. 9, 2015

A philosopher and a culture critic who chose to work in the film medium, Jean-Luc Godard appeared on the international scene both as a writer for the Cahiers du Cinema as well as a leading representative of the French New Wave movement. His unconventional approach to everything from film structure to editing and sound, infuses his films with a playful iconoclasm and an idiosyncratic identity. His intellectual preoccupations are often centered around political themes (capitalism, democracy), sociology (the conventions, conformism and Faustian aspects of modernity), existentialism (human identity) etc. For over 45 years, Godard's metalinguistic experimentation with the elements of cinema, from jump-cuts to whispered voice-overs, has established him as one of the most persistently probing, thought-provoking and influential film-makers in history.

BBC Life (TV) (2009) The Complete Series Movies

Posted by Mindsnatcher at Sept. 23, 2015

The BBC version of Life arrives with an at-times breathtaking, altogether stunning 1080p/VC-1 transfer; one that boasts gorgeous colors and remarkable detail, and puts most other nature documentary presentations to shame. Still, comparisons to the series' 1080i Discovery Channel release are the most inevitable and the most unavoidable. Simply put, the differences between the two aren't earth shattering – in some instances, our beloved little "p" may as well stand for "placebo" – but they are notable. There are plenty of scenes and shots in which the tiniest strands of animal hair are crisper, distant foliage is more refined, and the craggly crevices of rocky ravines are more revealing.
