Nirvana - Sliver: The Best Of The Box

Nirvana's Sliver: The Best Of The Box highlights the most significant recordings from 2004's record-breaking boxset With The Lights Out plus three previously unreleased tracks.

Nirvana changed the course of popular music forever and remains an inspiration to those who have followed. The band's musical legacy was illuminated further in November 2004 by the release of the 3-CD/1-DVD box set With The Lights Out (Geffen/UMe), the definitive collection of Nirvana rarities and outtakes. With The Lights Out set sales records across the globe and garnered unanimous critical praise.

Now the single-CD Sliver: Best Of The Box (Geffen/UMe), released November 1, 2005, offers fans audio highlights from With The Lights Out with the bonus inclusion of three unreleased tracks. Sliver: The Best Of The Box features 22 recordings, 18 of which made their debut on With The Lights Out and three of which make their debut here.

9 Songs DVD

“A touching, often poetic, sometimes achingly real snapshot of a brief encounter almost entirely through the bedroom.”— Derek Elley, Variety

From award-winning director Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People, Code 46, Welcome to Sarajevo) comes the sexually charged, critically acclaimed 9 Songs. Featuring live performances by eight of today’s top alternative rock bands, two versions of 9 Songs rock onto DVD Nov. 22nd from Tartan Video.

Available in an “Unrated Full Uncut Version” (theatrical version) and an “Unrated Edited Version,” 9 Songs charts the depths of sexuality and music in one relationship and how they are forever intertwined. Featuring live performances by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Von Bondies, Elbow, Primal Scream, The Dandy Warhols, Super Furry Animals, Franz Ferdinand and Michael Nyman.

In 9 Songs, Matt (Kieran O’Brien, 24 Hour Party People, HBO’s Band of Brothers) meets Lisa (Margo Stilley in her feature film debut) during a mobbed rock concert at London's Brixton Academy, they are in bed together by night's end. Over the next few months, their growing sexual passion is balanced only by their love of music and the concerts they attend.

Premiered at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, 9 Songs is winner of the “Best Cinematography” award at the 2005 San Sebastián International Film Festival.
