Prog takes a deep look at the long history Rush – featuring new interviews with Geddy, Alex and Neal! Prog the magazine always takes a pretty liberal, and non-elitist approach to what they classify as progressive rock – and we dig that! This issue covers Spock's Beard, The Flaming Lips, Kevin Ayers, The Magic Band, Family, Cosmograf, Roger Hodgson, Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis and more. The free CD is titled The Spirit Of Radial – with tracks by Spock's Beard, Motorpsycho, Hedvig Mollestad Trio, Nine Stones Close, Blue Cartoon, Vienna Circle, Grand General and many more.

Mojo ranks the "100 Greatest Music Films Ever" for the cover feature – and because it's Mojo we're talking about, it's a damn good list – with Don't Look Back, Searching For Sugar Man, TAMI Show, Hard Day's Night, Fistful Of Dollars, Eraserhead, The Wicker Man – classics both mainstream and cultish! This issue also has pieces on The Flaming Lips, Undertones, Shuggie Otis, Black Sabbath, a look back at Jesus & Mary Chain and Blur's Rollercoaster tour and more! The free CD is Action – 15 Cult Movie Classics – with tracks by Rodriguez, Ennio Morricone, Bobby Womack, Arthur Russell, John Barry Orchestra, Brian Jonestown Massacre and more.

Thievery Corporation are back after a long hiatus – and they've returned to the fold with a host of surprising guest stars! The set's got a really wide range of grooves – as one might expect when the group's working with artists that include David Byrne, Perry Farrell, and The Flaming Lips! But over and above these bigger crossover names, the team's also sticking very true to their roots on other tracks – bringing in some great downtempo and Brazilian influences, and fleshing out tunes with an equally great array of lesser-known talents that includes Sista Pat, Gunjan, Verny Varela, Gigi Rezende, and Patrick De Santos. Titles include "Marching The Hate Machines", "Pela Janela", "Sol Tapado", "The Time We Lost Our Way", "A Gentle Dissolve", "Holographic Universe", "The Heart's A Lonely Hunter", and "The Cosmic Game".

One of the only full LPs of work that was ever issued by the Flamingos on Chess – a collection of older singles, presented here in a later edition with a different cover and some bonus tracks! Tracks include "Would I Be Crying", "Whispering Stars", "The Vow", "A Kiss From Your Lips", "Chickie Um Bah", "Dream Of A Lifetime", and "Chick A Boom That's My Baby". Bonus tracks include the previously unissued "If I Could Love You", "I Really Don't Want To Know", and "I Found A New Baby" – plus an alternate take of "Dream Of A Lifetime".
