EmPOWered Television Heroes
The Avengers' Emma Peel embodied ass-kicking in heels long before empowered heroines became the norm on television and the BBC continues to reinvent that movement with characters like Clara Oswald AKA The Impossible Girl, on the groundbreaking (new) Doctor Who.
Prior to DC & Marvel comic book characters coming to life on the big screen, TV's Batman (along with Robin & Batgirl), brought superhero's...and villains to life. Now after nearly 50 years, including 'decades of corporate wrangling', the legendary Batman Series is finally available on DVD.
POW! ZAP! BAM!

Sessions Revisited...And Remembered
In the mid 1990's, when the Viennese duo of Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister began collaborating on original material, they emerged at the forefront of a burgeoning genre that had as many titles as influences; Downbeat, Chillout, Trip Hop, Headz, Dub, NuJazz, Lounge, etc. Their ground-breaking approach to electronic music was all encompassing and incorporated several musical influences; Jazz, Reggae, film scores, Bossa, Hip Hop, DnB, New Wave, among others, and then K&D meshed these styles organically within a Dub construct.
"The most blissfully blunted music the world has ever heard." - AllMusicFortunately, for all of us, we can view his genius HERE forever...
In 1998, Kruder & Dorfmeister compiled & mixed nineteen remixes (both solo and together) to form the seminal "K & D Sessions" and the double CD would go on to sell over a million copies. Now, after spending the past decade obtaining the licensing rights to the K & D Sessions, !K7 Records will reissue this compilation (along with 3 bonus tracks) digitally for the first time on December 23rd and will also release a limited edition 5X vinyl box set in early 2015.
On a very sad note, Fritz Fitzke, who became synonymous with Kruder & Dorfmeister over the past 20 years, as the visual artist to their events, has recently passed away at the age of 53.

Sounds From The Dark Side Of A Comet
The European Space Agency and NASA have set their sights far beyond Earth. In November the ESA successfully deployed the Philae lander on a comet and discovered organic molecules prior to shutting down into standby mode due to a loss of solar power. More recently, NASA completed it's first test flight of Orion, the spacecraft is designed for a potential manned mission to Mars.
