Goddess by
Satyajit Ray / DVD / OUT NOW
In Goddess (originally titled 'Devi'),
Doyamoyee is left alone with her husband’s ageing father-in-law, a devoted
follower of the goddess Kali. One evening, the aging widower she cares for has a
dream that she is an avatar of Kali, and must be worshipped. Word spreads, and
others come to believe that she is an incarnation of the deity. Hearing this
alarming news, her husband, Umprasad, returns only to find Doyamoyee herself
beginning to believe that she is an avatar; a belief which soon turns to
tragedy.
Two Daughters by Satyajit Ray / DVD / OUT NOW
Two
Daughters (Teen Kanya) tells two tales. The first is about Nanda, a young man
who leaves Calcutta to work as a postmaster in an isolated, malaria-infested
village. His only solace in the village is in teaching his host, Ratan, how to
read and write. The second story is about a student, Amulya, who returns to his
village after finishing his exams. His widowed mother is very anxious for him to
marry, and has already picked out a girl. Yet he rejects his mother's choice
and, being forced to choose some girl, marries a lively tomboy who is not ready
to give up her freedom.
Earth by Alexander Dovzhenko will be
following shortly on Mr Bongo Films. Full info on these titles available and

Records
20th Century Steel
Band – Warm Heart Cold Steel / CD + 12” / OUT NOW
The 20th Century Steel
Band has its humble beginnings as a working band on the Baileys Circuit, however
1975 saw the band record and release their debut album ‘Warm Heart, Cold Steel’.
This would prove to be a landmark album, featuring the track ‘Heaven & Hell
is on Earth’ which would go on to be an infamous addition to the world of
sampling - artists such as Salt-N-Pepa, Xzibit, Anonymous (ft Eminem), the Black
Eyed Peas on their debut album ‘Behind the Front’, The Jungle Brothers and LL
Cool J (Featuring in the film ‘Take the Lead’, starring Antonio Banderas) have
all sampled it. Perhaps the most famous of all tracks to sample ‘Heaven &
Hell is on Earth’ is ‘Jenny from the Block’ by Jennifer Lopez (This is me
…Then).

Artists - Latin Beats Boxset / 8CD Boxset + MP3 / OUT NOW
