Wienerworld is delighted to announce the release of Howard Jones – Live At Salt Lake City, Latin Quarter – Live At Full House Rock Show and The Steve Morse Band Live all available from 28th August.
Howard Jones – Live At Salt Lake City
In 1983 Howard Jones - now considered to be one of the true godfathers of electronic music - released his first single New Song. Quite unexpectedly and unbelievably for a debut single it went to #3 in the charts. Howard’s follow up single What Is Love? proved that it had been no fluke as it rocketed to #2. No surprise then that when his first album Human’s Lib was released: it blasted its way straight to the very top of the charts and went platinum.
Latin Quarter – Live At Full House Rock Show
A mix of music styles spanning reggae, rock, dance and new wave and a mix of band members – Latin Quarter have always been a band that was like a melting pot of different cultures. But they never mixed their message; their powerful and significant lyrics, covering issues such as unemployment and racism, clearly highlighting their social conscience and political convictions whilst never failing to entertain.
The Steve Morse Band Live
Since forming the Dixie Dregs in 1975 Steve Morse has graced many bands with his guitar skills. Rated as one of the finest guitar players in the world he even replaced the awesome Joe Satriani on guitar whilst touring with Deep Purple. He also played alongside other greats such as Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Joe Perry.

FELLINI DVD BOX SET
Infinity Arthouse is delighted to announce the release of a stunning six-disc box set from cinematic maestro Federico Fellini. The set will be released on 14 August 2006 and features three key works, Orchestra Rehearsal, And The Ship Sails On, Ginger and Fred along with a whole host of extras, from one of cinema’s most creative and influential forces who directed such groundbreaking films as La Dolce Vita and Amarcord.
Orchestra Rehearsal is a biting musical satire from the master. In this sly social and political allegory, an orchestra assembles for a rehearsal under the inquisitive lenses of a TV crew. The wonderful music by Oscar®-winner Nino Rota (The Godfather I & II, The Leopard, Fellini’s La Dolce Vita), earned the film the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists Silver Ribbon award for best score.
“A little masterpiece…a lovely little jeud’esprit” Daily Telegraph
Ginger and Fred is Fellini’s award winning take on the world of small time show business. It skewers the medium Fellini loved to hate with a behind-the-scenes view of a variety show broadcast. Two former dancers from the 1940s, Ginger (Giulietta Masina) and Fred (Marcello Mastroianni – La Dolce Vita), who imitated the dance routines of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, reunite after retiring for over 20 years. It was nominated for a BAFTA and a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film and received great critical acclaim on its theatrical release.
“Irresistibly charming” Time Out
And The Ship Sails On is a quirky imaginative fable, following a 1914 ocean voyage to scatter the ashes of a world famous opera singer (Janet Suzman). The ship’s passengers include aristocrats, diplomats and a band of opera singers. These egocentric passengers indulge their follies and fancies both vocally and romantically, but their gilded world is about to receive a chill blast of reality. This is a majestic masterpiece made even more so by its haunting musical score featuring Tchaikovsky, Richard Strauss, Schubert and Debussy.

Bloodspell Locks Horns with Cars and Shrek
Indie Fantasy Epic Movie Bloodspell Locks Horns with Cars and Shrek
Running the gauntlet of its Hollywood hi-tech rivals, Scottish indie
overlord Strange Company launches the first part of 'Bloodspell', a
computer-animated action-adventure fantasy film, produced over three
years on a budget of less than GBP £5,000.
Free to download and view on its website (http://www.bloodspell.com )
from July 2006, the feature-length Bloodspell tells the story of a world
where some people carry magic blood in their veins: when their blood is
spilled, its magical power is released. The movie follows the adventures
of Jered, a monk of the magic-hating Church of the Angels, as he
discovers he is one of the ‘blooded’ and has to flee for his life into a
bizarre magical underworld.
Strange Company, producer of ‘machinima’ films which manipulate 3D game
software to create original animated stories, shot Bloodspell using the
visual technology of the computer game 'Neverwinter Nights'
(http://nwn.bioware.com ). By using the game's existing graphics instead
of the time-consuming frame by frame rendering techniques of movie
powerhouses like Pixar and Dreamworks, and by calling on a largely
volunteer work force, Strange Company produced its epic for a tiny
fraction of any Hollywood budget.
Science fiction author Cory Doctorow says of Bloodspell: "There's some
damned fine storytelling here. The Strange Company folks are at the
forefront of using the machinima medium for feature-length drama."
Convinced that big budget commercial films mask uninspiring stories with
flashy visuals, artistic director Hugh Hancock comments: “What we lack
in slick polish we make up for in originality and passion.”
Bloodspell is released under a ‘creative commons’
(http://creativecommons.org ) licence which allows completely free
access to and circulation of the film, reflecting its grass-roots
origins.
The first part of Bloodspell and all subsequent episodes can be
downloaded free at http://www.bloodspell.com

‘Northern Exposure’ Season 4 on DVD
EMMY AWARD WINNING CULT TV CLASSIC
TO BE RELEASED AS 6-DISC DVD BOX SET
Season 4 of the quirky and ever-popular comedy drama ‘Northern Exposure’ is to be released by Universal Playback as a 6-disc DVD boxset on July 31. The first series was launched in 1990 and quickly attracted a large fan base before going on to become one of America’s most popular tv programmes.
Season 4 sees the return of Dr Joel Fleishman (Rob Morrow) and the offbeat citizens of Cicely, Alaska, and guest stars include Anthony Edwards from ER, Patrick Warburton from Seinfeld and 80’s pop legend Adam Ant.
Across all Seasons, ‘Northern Exposure’ was nominated for 16 Emmy Awards, winning seven of them, and the Season 4 boxset contains over 18 hours of programming, plus additional bonus material.
Joel Fleishman is fresh out of medical school and fresh out of luck. Failing to read the fine print in his scholarship conditions, he finds he has no choice but to move to the remote and somewhat eccentric town of Cicely in the wilds of Alaska.
Once there, he is welcomed with open arms by all 215 people who live in the town and as he contends with the daily lives and rituals of these trusting although not-so-normal folk, Joel starts to realise that Cicely’s quieter way of life is probably more civilized than the hustle and bustle of Manhattan where he grew up.
He soon starts to build an eclectic circle of friends which includes wealthy former astronaut Maurice Minnifield, feisty pilot Maggie O’Connell, mayor and bar owner Holling Vincoeur, intellectual ex-con and radio presenter Chris Stevens, store owner Ruth-Anne Miller and film buff Ed Chigliak
