King Crimson - Behind the Scenes

Here's a rare, behind-the-scenes documentary on one of the most underrated bands of the last century and one of my personal favorites - King Crimson. Probably a bit too intimidating for their time. No doubt they were ahead of it.

History of the Boombox

"Before iPods (or even CDs) there were boomboxes. It's been 20 years since they disappeared from the streets, but the nostalgia they evoke is about more than stereo equipment. We've changed the way we listen to music — and to each other. Watch a video about the history of the boombox."

History of Electronica

Here's a neat 3-part documentary about the history of electronic music. Featuring interviews with Jean-Michelle Jarre, Richie Hawtin, Keith Emerson, Brian Eno, Sven Vaeth, Depeche Mode, Trent Reznor, The Chemical Brothers, Carl Cox, Moby and Underworld, this short film explores the evolution of electronica through the eyes of some of its most influential characters. It seems to be a few years old, so it doesn't cover the most recent years and developments. Very interesting though. Click on any of the artists for more selected vids.
