Saw IV Soundtrack

The answer to this pivotal question, as any fan of the hit "Saw" film series would guess, are the dangerous, dramatic strains of hard rock, metal and industrial music. These sounds are represented on Saw IV Original Soundtrack by giants of those genres – Nitzer Ebb, who unveil highly anticipated new material with the hard-hitting "Payroll (JohnO Mix)," Ministry ("Life Is Good"), Skinny Puppy ("Spasmolytic [Deftones Remix (Habitual Mix)])," "Saw" composer/Nine Inch Nails alum Charlie Clouser ("Just Begun") and Sixx: A.M., fronted by Mötley Crüe bassist/songwriter Nikki Sixx ("Tomorrow") – as well as established bands who've been influenced by them, including Drowning Pool ("Shame") and Avenged Sevenfold ("Eternal Rest"), and up-and-comers forging a similarly creative path like From Autumn to Ashes ("On the Offensive") and Submersed ("Better Think Again").- more on this story

Chambers Brothers Reissues

Steeped in the gospel hymns dating back to their Mississippi Southern-Baptist church upbringing, George, Willie, Lester and Joe Chambers' earliest music freely combined blues, folk, soul and gospel. Their earliest sides included a gospel single for the Proverb label and a Folkways album with Barbara Dane. Signing with Vault in 1965, their recordings juxtaposed covers of blues standards with original compositions. The band became a stalwart presence at L.A.'s legendary Ash Grove folk venue. Only on their departure to Columbia did their soul become psychedelicized. 

Vault Records recorded a passel of material in a short time, and released much of it concurrent with the Chambers' Columbia recordings. Collectors' Choice presents these early albums all fully re-mastered and with extensive notes by music historian Richie Unterberger.- info on each reissue

Zeppelin's Film Does Not Remain the Same on DVD

"We have re-visited The Song Remains The Same," says guitarist Jimmy Page, "and can now offer the complete set as played at Madison Square Garden. This differs substantially from the original soundtrack released in 1976, and highlights the technical prowess of Kevin Shirley, who worked with us on How The West Was Won. When it comes to The Song Remains The Same, the expansion of the DVD and soundtrack are as good as it gets on the Led Zeppelin wish list."

This brand new digitally remastered edition of The Song Remains The Same features, for the first time, all 14 songs from the original concert. The DVD features newly remixed and re-mastered 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound and boasts more than 40 minutes of added bonus material.- bonus info
