'Control' is Anton Corbijn’s feature film debut after decades of collaborating with some of the world’s top bands including U2, REM, Nirvana, Depeche Mode, Metallica, The Killers and Coldplay. A friend and contemporary of Joy Division in the late Seventies, Corbijn is responsible for some of their most iconic photographs. In 1988 he directed a video for the band’s 'Atmosphere' as a requiem to Ian. This soundtrack from 'Control', the must-see love story of Ian and Deborah Curtis, includes a cover of 'Shadowplay' by The Killers.

Isihia (Bulgarian: Исихия, "hesychia") are a Bulgarian music band founded in 2000, the style of which unites elements of Bulgarian folklore and Hesychast Christian chant of the 14th century to create an atmosphere of Balkan spiritual mysticism.

For their fourth album, MIRROR MOVES, the Psychedelic Furs moved further away from their proto-punk roots. In fact, other than Richard Butler's cigarette-ravaged voice, the occasional shard of guitar distortion, and the tell-tale '80s production sound, nothing on the album would be out of place on contemporary Top-40 radio. Were all pop music this good, the world couldn't help but be a better place. The Furs co-opted the mainstream into their sound, with the result being a nearly perfect pop masterpiece made without sacrificing their vision. As mentioned, the production–evident in the flat drum sound–is really the album's only flaw. That is a small caveat, though, and the record displays the Furs at their best–Butler's particular strength is his ability to combine longing and loss into a catchy pop song while the band's steers the music far wide of becoming saccharine. Standouts include the brilliant "Heaven," with its plaintive vocal and bright guitars; the chugging train-ride of "Here Come Cowboys," where Mars Williams sax and John Ashton's guitar both shine; and "Highwire Days," which manages to turn the thin drums to its advantage while highlighting the interplay between the backing vocal and Butler's lead.
