Oakland duo Boots Riley and Pam The Funkstress (aka The Coup) have been mixing politics and pleasure all the way since 1994's Kill My Landlord and Party Music is no exception. Like an alcopop Molotov cocktail, their lyrical bombs are bolstered with free-wheeling funk and fizz. Think Outkast with socialist credentials, Eminem with a social conscience and you're mighty close to the potential populist appeal of The Coup. Their modus operandi is to mine classic funk and soul for licks, augment them with new sonic weaponry and turn them out into formidable fighting anthems. After kicking off with the analogue squall of "Everythang", Party Music never lets up in pace. On "5 Million Ways To Kill A C.E.O.", Boots unleashes a tirade of corporate revenge fantasies and then unexpectedly reveals his tender side on the motherly "Wear Clean Draws". Queens radicals Dead Prez rally around for militant "Get Up", brutalising the opposition with bass and an uncompromising lyrical stance. Later, Boots throws barbs at party-poopers who "Ride the Fence", while listing the extent of his anti-establishment/pro-revolutionary stance. Quite simply, The Coup preach the kind of party politics you can shake your ass to. --Chris Campion

As part of Tomahawk Films' on-going commitment to producing broadcast-quality Third Reich military & civilian music, we are offering customers thinking about buying our two 6 CD Presentation Sets, a selection of the most famous tracks from both series on just one CD, so giving a real flavour of what you can expect from the more expensive sets.
It seems a great act of faith to ask you to part with nearly £70 of your hard earned cash without knowing exactly what you are getting, so here is a chance to buy a CD containing selected tracks taken from both Presentation Sets, either as a single, exciting, one-off CD of Second World War German music for your collection or perhaps as a useful aid in helping you to decide which of the more expensive 6 CD Presentation Sets you might wish to buy from Tomahawk Films...
Third Reich Music Favourites (the official CD that we also supply our Documentary-Film, TV and Movie company clients with), replicates the exact quality and range of music offered on our two 6-CD Presentation Collector's Sets and contains 8 Third Reich Marching Music & Korps Song tracks from the Military Music Of A.H.'s Third Reich series and 8 tracks, (including Heinz Goedecke's famous radio introduction to the Third Reich & Combat Fronts listening in), from the Wunschkonzert für die Wehrmacht series played in front of a live radio studio audience.

This disc represents the bridge between Talking Heads' first two herky-jerkier albums and the next two funky ones. Fear of Music is more than just a bridge, though. It's the water under the bridge, the air, the animals, the cities the river flows through, and the heaven on top of it all: "...a place where nothing ever happens." Plenty happens here, however. The CD starts out with its feet off the ground and both arms in the air: "I Zimbra" is all-out celebration. The rest of the songs are pretty much exercises in simplicity: one-word titles with music to match. (Witness the lightness of "Air", the trippiness of "Drugs", the "ooga"-ness of "Animals".) David Byrne's artful naiveté ("Hold the paper up to the light/Some rays pass right through"), coupled with the whole band's musical playfulness (for example, the tuba on "Electric Guitar"), makes for fun fun fun. --Dan Leone

This special edition includes a bonus disc with six exclusive live tracks from the Liverpool Academy. The Music are nothing if not confounding. Their second album, Welcome to the North would, based on its title alone, suggest that this quartet wear their Northerness on their sleeve. But rather than producing yet another tired Oasis or Stone Roses pastiche, the Music decamped to the distinctly un-Northern town of Atlanta, Georgia to work with renowned rock producer Brendan O'Brien (best known for working with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden). The results are thrilling--an over-the-top, bombastic album that often manages to combine the rock power of Led Zeppelin with the epic psychedelia of Jane's Addiction (helped by frontman Robert Harvey's vocal similarities to Perry Farrell and drummer Phil Jordan's breakneck drumming, reminiscent of Stephen Perkins). And though the lyrics occasionally venture into pretension (really, who says "mine eyes" anymore?), they're made forgivable by the power of tracks like "Freedom Fighters" and "Bleed from Within" (which even boasts a drum solo). In fact, the only outright homage to their Northern indie heritage is "I Need Love", with a danceable, New Order-esque bassline that drives the whole thing along. But generally, they stick to their guns instead of their roots, making Welcome to the North a great rock album. --Robert Burrow
