IRON MAIDEN
'Dawn Of The Damned' DVD Release Date 11/05/2009
http://991.com/buy/productinformation.aspx?StockNumber=468994
Not many groups can claim to have started a whole musical genre, and certainly not one that has been as far reaching, influential and long-serving as The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. But had Iron Maiden not done what they did way back in 1976, a time when no one even knew there was an old wave, then we might never had have heard the likes of Metallica, Def Leppard or numerous other bands who were inspired enough by Maiden's independence, energy and craft to get up and form their own groups. This DVD is a fitting tribute to the band who moved Heavy Metal towards the global industry it is today, in a way no one else has even attempted. Telling their long and fascinating story from those early days when Steve Harris was a boy with a dream and a guitar, right up to their position today as universal rock superstars with more awards to their name than just about any other Rock group, this programme can't fail to delight every Maiden fan out there. Featuring; new interviews with the likes of Paul Di'Anno, Dennis Stratton, Garry Bushell and many others from the Maiden story; archive interviews with other Maiden members past and present; rare footage and photos; location shoots and many other features.
DEPECHE MODE
'The Dark Progression' DVD Release Date 18/05/2009
http://991.com/buy/productinformation.aspx?StockNumber=468996
Thirty years into a quite extraordinary career, Depeche Mode remain the most successful electronic band ever, having to date sold over 100 million records worldwide. And as they continue to release new and challenging material on a regular basis and perform in front of crowds that can exceed 80,000 in a single night, the enormous popularity of these former Essex Boys illustrates how their resolute determination to stick with their original vision has repaid them handsomely in the long term. This brand new documentary film traces the almost surreal development of Depeche Mode from their flirtations with New Romanticism at the dawn of their career, through the urban industrial landscapes envisaged on 'Construction Time Again' and 'Some Great Reward' into the dark hollow of albums such as 'Black Celebration', 'Music For The Masses' and 'Violator' to conclude with the departure of Alan Wilder in 1995 - a point in their career at which they had achieved enormous commercial success but were now facing huge personal challenges. Featuring interviews with all the band members, contributions from friends, colleagues and contemporaries such as; Gary Numan, Thomas Dolby, OMD's Andy McCluskey, Daniel Miller, band biographer Jonathan Miller, Depeche producers Gareth Jones, Dave Bascombe, Phil Legg and Steve Lyon, and electronic music experts Mark Pendergast and David Stubbs. Also includes rare performances by Depeche Mode from across their career, archive footage, video clips, location shoots, news reports and much more.
CAPTAIN BEEFHEART
'Captain Beefheart's Jukebox' CD Release Date 18/05/2009
http://991.com/buy/productinformation.aspx?StockNumber=469000
If there's one contemporary composer whose influence is nigh impossible to ascertain, it's the artist once known as Don Van Vliet - more familiarly, Captain Beefheart. The music Beefheart released between his 1967 debut 'Safe A Milk' and his last album, recorded almost 30 years ago, 'Ice Cream For Crow', is so original, unique and, let's face it, 'out there', that any attempt to catalogue those who inspired its strictly organic creation, is a task few would relish. But, there are two central themes that do run through Beefheart's repertoire, two themes that were also, according to those closest to him, representative of the music he was most likely to listen to throughout the time he was recording and releasing music; these being Blues and Free Form Jazz. This compilation brings together the records it is known Captain Beefheart was listening to prior to making his own music [often in the company of school chum Frank Zappa] and throughout his musical career. Records that have been partly responsible, in their own way, for establishing a recording style whereby experimentation is de rigeur and following whatever came before is forbidden.

2 x DAVID PEEL & APPLE BAND RELEASES:
Release Date 04/05/2009
* Bring Back The Beatles - 'Bring Back The Beatles' was as close to a commercial album as David Peel had ever generated up to that time. Where his previous satirical barbs at musical figures were incidental to his broader political messages, on this album he shifts his aim somewhat - his two-pronged message expresses an appreciation, even a level of respect, for the Liverpool group, but is also includes an implicit vicious swipe at the efforts in the mid-70s to remarket and repackage their music. Not quite everything here directly concerns the Beatles, and if Peel isn't quite as animated as he is when going after a political target, his songwriting ability isn't restricted at all, and in the relatively lush production he manages to come up with some surprisingly good (and excruciatingly funny) pop songs, including 'Coconut Grove'; he also turns in a rocking version of John Lennon's 'Imagine', reimagined as a punk piece. 'The Wonderful World of Abbey Road' shows Peel acknowledging their psychedelic period, especially 'Penny Lane', but he also works in a deconstruction of 'With a Little Help from My Friends' and some fresh barbs aimed at Paul McCartney.

* John Lennon For President - 469008 In view of subsequent events, this album and its title now possess an unintended eeriness. But in 1980, it was just part of the landscape. In case no one remembers, in 1980 the U.S. went nuts. Not that this hadn't happened before, even during some recent campaign years, but this was the first time it coincided with a presidential race in which two incompetents were running against each other, and politics became the medium through which a lot of that nutsiness was expressed. In that environment, how could David Peel, master satirist, topical songwriter, marijuana advocate, peace activist, and musician provocateur, possibly resist the impulse to join in? The result is more mixed media than is usual for Peel, alternating between music, interviews, and speeches, all of it focused, and assuming that one has the tolerance for absurdity necessary to appreciate it, it's a fine coda to Peel's earlier Lennon-produced and Beatles-inspired work.

Pop-rockers Go: Audio release their eagerly awaited debut album, 'Made Up Stories' on 11th May through Rubix Records, with a new single, 'Drive to the City', released on 20th April. Shortly after releasing their very first singles, 'She Left Me' and 'Made Up Stories', through Epic Records in late Summer 2008, Go: Audio parted company with the major label and made the decision to release their forthcoming releases completely independently. Since making that decision, Go: Audio have been nominated for Best Newcomers at the Kerrang! Awards 2008 and sold an unprecedented number of tickets for their live dates. They have just completed their 3rd successive 100% sell out UK headline tour making them arguably the biggest unsigned live act in the country. Produced by Andy Green [Keane] and the band themselves, 'Made Up Stories' is everything a thrill seeker could wish for. From the driving, pulse racer of the title song to the piano driven break-up punk of 'She Left Me', the album evokes a summer of living fast, loving tough and making the most of what you have got. New single 'Drive To The City' [written, recorded and produced by the band themselves] is a huge floorfiller of a track, merging the band's electro elements with their huge pop-rock template, whilst 'Brake! Brake!' is a full-on rock monster, retaining the agility of US bands like Fall Out Boy while aiming it's bull-horns at a harder, faster direction. 'Made Up Stories' is guaranteed to set your pulse racing and gear you up for a blitz of summer memories and beyond.
