A new preview to the documentary movie about "EPIRI ET ALBANIA PRINCEPS GEORGIVS CASTRIOT SCANDERBEGVS". The title of the documentary is "Scanderbeg: Warrior-King of Albania". The video is longer than the first one(4 Min.) and you see some first scenes from the actual documentary. But remember: This is not gonna be a Hollywood cinema blockbuster or something. It's gonna be a nice little documentary about Skenderbeu, so dont expect to much. Those people who did this are real patriots who spent a lot of money and time to make this possible, so people can learn something about a real hero who saved europe.

A spectacularly gorgeous song about my favourite obsession demands an equally spectacularly gorgeous visual accompaniment. The lyrics are loosely based on the poem "Clouds" by Percy Bysshe Shelley. The female guest vocalist is Karin Dreijer Andersson, aka The Knife, aka Fever Ray.

One of the finest music videos ever produced. Featuring Donald Sutherland as Wilhelm Reich and Kate Bush as his son, Peter, in a creative interpretation of Reich's 1950s arrest and prosecution by US authorities for alleged medical fraud. Reich was also involved in "rainmaking" activities that involved the use of a machine similar to the one depicted here.

...aka "The Himalayas are Alive, with the Sound of Music" :-) Things have certainly moved on since the days of Chairman Mao; Chinese patriotic songs now come in a far more subtle and insidiously enticing guise than they did in the heady days of "proletarian opera" - as this very nice-sounding, gorgeously-produced triumphalist extravaganza illustrates.

In India, when two women are battling for the romantic favours of a maharajah, they will often hold a public dance-off to settle the matter. At least that's the conclusion one arrives at after watching this extraordinarily athletic Bharatanatyam dance performance by Kamala Lakshman and her green-eyed rival, from the 1962 Tamil-language film "Konjum Salangai", directed by MV Raman. The bit at 5:13 in particular gives an interesting new perspective on the expression "bust a move".

One of the longer and more impressive works from the relatively extensive oeuvre of the 12th century female abbess, herbalist, writer, poet, composer, correspondent and adviser to kings, emperors and popes, mystic, visionary and saint, Hildegard of Bingen. This interpretation by the German performance group Sequentia is accompanied by mind-bending fractal image footage that - based on descriptions by Hildegard and her contemporaries - may be reminiscent of her visions - which modern historians have ascribed to such prosaic medical causes as severe migraine.

Originally written by Tim Buckley in 1970, "Song to the Siren" is quite simply one of the most extraordinarily beautiful pieces of music ever conceived... and you're viewing the video of the most extraordinarily beautiful version of it ever recorded.

This clip is from Kandan Karunai (கந்தன் கருணை), a Tamil-language film directed by AP Nagarajan, released in 1967. The film's narrative follows the mythological life of Muruga, a Hindu deity whose devotees are concentrated in south India - mainly among the ethnic Tamil community. As a bonus we also get glimpses of most of the other major deities from the Hindu pantheon - including a rather porky-looking Siva who looks to be in desperate need of pec implants and radical chin-uplift surgery. I don't know the identity of the singer.

Kamala Lakshman and others in an extraordinary performance of traditional Bharatanatyam dance, from an unidentified Indian film probably dating to the 1960s. The soundtrack has been dubbed - possibly from Tamil into Hindi - but as I am not a speaker of either language I cannot be certain. If any listeners can shed further light on the identity of the performers, the origin of the clip, the language/s involved and the deity the performance is intended to praise, it would be greatly appreciated.

Lebanese diva Nour al Houda نور الهدى performs " Hal hilal al eid" - which by the sounds of it is quite probably a traditional Egyptian folk song - from the 1952 Egyptian film "Ayza atgawwez". Please note that the track title shown in the scrolling text is incorrect - a result of my mis-transliteration of the lyrics.

Lebanese diva Sabah صباح in full flight as she croons "Kawiny ya ali" كاويني يا علي , from the 1953 Egyptian musical romance "Lahn Hubi" لحن حبي (Symphony of Love). Sabah began her professional career in 1943. As of 2010 she has appeared in dozens of films, maintains a reputed 3500 songs in her repertoire, and is still going strong at the age of 83. She has also managed to survive no less than seven marriages. This lady is the veritable Madonna of the Arab world - to the max ! And unlike Madonna she can actually sing.
