NOISE
TheNew York Noise book describes the period in history (1978-88) where New York art and music collided. Beginning in the mid-1970s, New YorkCity’s SoHo and East Village became a hot-bed of musical and artistic ideas. Owing to new property laws, Downtown New York and its many warehouse and loft spaces became the home of artists, bands, film-makers, studios, art galleries and more. In this small area practically every musician was also an artist, every artist a film-maker and every film-maker was in a band. This book includes pictures of JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT,DAVID BYRNE, SUICIDE, KEITH HARING, GLENN BRANCA, ESG, MADONNA, LAURIE ANDERSON, PHILIP GLASS, AFRIKA BAMBAATAA andhundreds more previously unseen photographs.
“New York downtown was like a bohemian living museum, which was pretty thrilling for an aspiring artist and musician. Legends walked the streets.It was all very new and exciting – and it was incredibly funky, the sleaze and poverty were everywhere.” DAVIDBYRNE
 With accompanying text from DAVID BYRNE, LAURIE ANDERSON, CINDY SHERMAN and more, this is an essential recordof a fascinating era in New York’s cultural history.
 ART AND MUSIC IN NEW YORK CITY 1978-88!
Over 400 stunning photographs plus text from David Byrne, Cindy Sherman, Laurie Anderson andmany more telling the story of an amazingly stunning and vibrant time and place! This 200 pageflexi-bound book is available now in all good book and record stores and costs £19.95.
 
FLYING FORWARD
Iraq hadn’t produced a feature film since the 1991 Gulf War 
(when the state film facility was bombed and aUN embargo slapped on 35mm film stock that could, in theory, be used in chemical weapon production). But withthe release of this sensitive exploration of Iraq’s broken hopes and uncertain future,
 Ahlaam
(“Dreams”) has abeen a kiss of life for Iraqi cinema, representing in the Oscar’s Best Foreign Language Film category.Pioneering this cinematic renaissance hasn’t been easy. During the making of the film, director Mohamed Al-Daradji, together with his sound recordist & boom operator, stumbled into the wrong side of town, where theywere kidnapped and nearly executed by Baathists. Just hours later, as the crew recuperated in hospital, theyfound themselves kidnapped again, this time by the other side. Handed over to the Americans, they suffered agruelling six-day incarceration and interrogation. It brought a whole new meaning to the term guerilla filmmaking,and Al-Daradji sometimes found himself with a camera in one hand and an AK47 (filled with blanks) in the other.Despite security fears,
 Ahlaam
finally screened in Iraq’s National Theatre in April 2007, for a tearful audienceof over a thousand. “It was the most fantastic experience of my life. I long for a peaceful Iraq, with a film industryequipped to tell the story of the terrible suffering of the last forty years.” That’s one dream that may yet become areality.
Dan Susman Ahlaam will be released in selected cinemas in the UK in Jan 2008 
AHLAAM
Too many people are touted as ‘coming to change the game’ in hip-hop, only to wind up as a footnotein the musical landscape.
Jay Electronica is different. Maybe that’s the best way to describe him, different. Ayear ago there weren’t many people who would recognize the name Jay Electronica, but in the last 12 months,the mysterious New Orleans native has created a surprising, internet-based buzz, while still remaining mostly anenigma. From the 20+ tracks of his that infiltrated the net there are collaborations with Guilty Simpson and Mr.Porter, beats by the underrated Nottz as well as the legendary J Dilla. Yet even with such an impressive roster of collaborators, Jay shines undauntedly, and it’s good to see people are noticing. Earlier this year he dropped ‘ActI: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge)’ through FWMJ’s
rappersiknow.com
as well as his own hacked MySpace whereit has already had 300k downloads. The 15 minute track quickly made its rounds over the internet due to Jay’sleft-of-center approach -- looping parts of the score of 
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 
and rapping over that. No drums, no hooks, just new shit. Still, it works and Jay’s mastery of writing and rhythm is strong enoughto carry the tracks. In the only documented interview with the man so far, he explains, “I’m an emcee at heart,so I’m always going to write in a way that I feel is superior to any emcee. That’s just the nature of a true rapper.”Now Jay is readying himself to release ‘Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn)’, with the final act being his debutalbum which is to be released sometime in 2008 with beats from Jay himself, Madlib Mr. Porter, Hi-Tek and Beat Autopsy. Combining a powerful, aggressive delivery with a commanding voice and highly insightful battle lyrics,the man known as The Black Atom is positioning himself to be a force to be reckoned with on all fronts of modernhip hop. Whether mainstream, underground, purist or new-age, any self-respecting hip hop head needs to payattention, and look closely.

People always said that if Miles Davis was still alive todayhe’d be making some avant-garde dance music.
Recorded in 1972, Miles Davis’ On the Corner is avant-gardedance music - its syncopated percussion patterns sound like jungle 20 years before the fact. With a band that includedMichael Henderson, Mtume, Sonny Fortune, Carlos Garnett,Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin and JackDeJohnette, Miles proves he’s the consummate band leader and one bad motherfucka too. The Complete On The Corner Sessions is available now for all you Miles fiends out there.
