Here’s a five-Blu-ray box set looking at the early work of Brussels-born director Chantal Akerman, who is seen as an important female director, as well as a key figure in European arthouse cinema.  Over a nearly fifty-year period, she directed forty films (short, medium and feature-length)- these spanned fiction, documentary, musical comedy and literary adaptation. Her work is often very personal, with feminist and LGBTQ+ leanings. The set focuses on the years 1967 and 1978, taking in fourteen films, new commentary tracks, and a selection of largely archive-based extras.

The Magic Forest is a three-disc, sixty-one-track compilation focusing on late 60s to mid-70s pastoral, psychedelic, and funky folk/ lite folk-rock. It’s a sequel to 2022’s compilation Deep In The Woods, which, like this collection, was compiled/ arranged by Richard Norris(Beyond The Wizards Sleeve/The Grid). This new collection focuses more on the singer-songwriter side of things.

You'd be forgiven for doing a double-take when reading the title of this particular album. No, it isn’t a re-issue of Eno’s seminal ambient record Music for Airports, but instead is the latest work from experimental artist Pierce Warnecke, who has dug deep into his box of ambient electronica to create an imagined world predicated on one that is wholly real. Music from Airports is an ode to that most utilitarian of spaces – the airport, universally characterised by an absence of atmosphere and personality, and one that is reviled by the artist himself. Using hastily captured musical soundbites (he refrains from calling them field recordings) taken from airports across the world, the US-born artist has moulded a set of electronic soundscapes that deftly employ his (sometimes) trademark minimalism underlined by repetitive looping, deep listening and glitch.

Assault!: Jack The Ripper is a tonally unbalancing/troubling blend of awkward romantic drama and sexualized serial killer thriller/horror. The mid 70’s Japanese film is part of Nikkatsu Studios Roman Porno cycle- sitting in the sub-genre of Violent Porno. Here from 88 Films is a new Blu-Ray release of the film- taking an HD scan of the film, a new commentary track and an intro.

Here from 88 Films is a Blu-ray box set collecting together the three Erotic Ghost Story films- 1990 Hong Kong Cat III films, which blend softcore, fantasy and light horror elements. Each film gets its own disc, featuring a 2k scan, commentary tracks, and a few archive extras.

 Je t'aime, Je t'aime ( I Love You, I Love You)  is a late ’60s French film that gives a very different/distinctive take on the Romantic drama form. It’s a sci-fi film which sees a suicidal man getting involved in a secret time machine project, which sees him reliving his romance with a decidedly free-spirited woman. The film has a decidedly shifting/ at times cut-up quality, as we move back and forth on the man's timeline, all making for a picture that equally intrigues and frustrates. Here from Radiance is a Blu-ray release of the film, featuring a 2k scan, and a selection of new/ archive extras.
