Soul Train - The Hippest Trip in America
Very interesting documentary on the famous Sould TV show that enable the black community to express themselves in the 60's.  Few television series were as innovative and influential as Soul Train. Set first in Chicago, and later in Los Angeles, the Soul Train dance party reached national significance and became one of the longest running syndicated shows in television history. In commemoration, Soul Train: The Hippest Trip In America is a 2010 documentary celebrating the show's many contributions to pop culture, music, dance and fashion. From 1970-2006 the series offered a window into the history of Black music, and its charismatic host, Don Cornelius was The Man responsible for a new era in Black expression. A trained journalist, Don created a media empire that provided an outlet for record labels and advertisers to reach a new generation of music fans. As the epitome of cool, many of his expressions entered the popular American lexicon: "A groove that will make you move real smooth," "Wishing you Peace, Love and Soul!" The documentary will feature performances and great moments from the show, as well as behind-the-scene stories and memories from the cast and crew. In addition, popular musicians, comics and actors of yesterday and today will comment on growing up with the show and will share their stories of how Soul Train affected their own lives.

Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany
Documentary which looks at how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war. Between 1968 and 1977 bands like Neu!, Can, Faust and Kraftwerk would look beyond western rock and roll to create some of the most original and uncompromising music ever heard. They shared one common goal - a forward-looking desire to transcend Germany's gruesome past - but that didn't stop the music press in war-obsessed Britain from calling them Krautrock.

Blur - The Magic Whip Made in Hongkong
30 minutes detailing their first album in 12 years. You can see Blur travelling in Asia, recording some track in studio, there are interviews of the 4 members . I have just downloaded the album on Itunes and we had the opportunity to listen to it while going in Denmark for the Great Mountain Fire tour. We have a preference for track n.2!

Can (band) - Documentary
The full documentary for the band Can ,( 1h 27' 07'')
A piece of gold to discover German progressive rock that appeared in the late 60's.
Directors Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher interview the remaining band members and cull together archival footage from talk shows, concerts, and television appearances to paint a portrait of a band who always remained happily on the sidelines of mass appeal, mixing street music, jazz, folk, and rock into a sometimes poppy, sometimes abstract stew.  The band's influence on such seminal acts as Sonic Youth and Talking Heads is also analyzed. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi
