In October of 2006, a small mom and pop record store in Southern New Jersey named Full Circle Records announced that it was going out of business and that the liquidation sale would continue until mid December. Ironically, at approximately the same time, Tower Records, the iconic juggernaut of the music retail market, made the same announcement. Something has happened to the music retail world and it seemed to have happened overnight. …Or did it? The Final Days Of Full Circle Records is a fascinating documentary that provides valuable insight into the rise and fall of the record store industry and subculture which may change the way you think about music, music retail, and the art of collecting music forever.

Also ich will ehrlich sein: wenn ich „Techno“ höre, denke ich wahrscheinlich als aller Letztes an Cuba. Ich meine, wer denkt schon an sowas. Der Doku von Florian Borchmeyer und Matthias Hentschler nach ist das allerdings ein ziemlich blödes Vorurteil. Er zeigt die Geschichte des Techno in Havanna seit dem Jahr 1998 und das ist sehr interessant.

This documentary was made three years after Jimi Hendrix’s untimely death. At the time it was an example of how a visual biography should be done, but some of the information in it needs revising in the light of new information uncovered over the years. The film contains concert footage spanning the Marquee in 1967 to his last UK performance at the third Isle of Wight festival in 1970; along the way we see classic performances at Monterey (1967), Woodstock (1969), Fillmore East (1969/70), and Berkeley (1970). A double album was released to tie-in with the film, containing the complete performances in the film, along with interviews with people in the film (not necessarily the same interviews). The film is worth seeing for Jimi’s performances, and to hear what his contemporaries have to say about him (Eric Clapton, Mitch Mitchell, Lou Reed, Mick Jagger, Pete Townsend, and others). Written by Martin {martin.o_brien@which.net} This is a biography of Jimi Hendrix, the world famous guitarist who died much too young in 1970. Friends and prominent musicians like Pete Townsend, Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and Buddy Miles comment on Jimi’s life and his influence on the rock music. Features recordings from concerts appearences, including „Hey Joe“, „Rock me baby“, „Like a rolling stone“, „A Star Sprangled Banner“ from Woodstock ’69 and many more. Written by Tom Zoerner.
