Wheel of Time is acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog's (Grizzly Man, Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Fitzcarraldo) gorgeously photographed look at the largest Buddhist ritual in Bodh Gaya, India. The title of this Werner Herzog documentary refers to the Kalachakra Mandala, the intricate sand painting meant to help the faithful visualize the interior plane. It is at the heart of the Buddhist initiation ceremony in Bodh Gaya, India, which Herzog reverently records here. The spiritual realm is virtually impossible to capture on film, but Herzog has managed to do just that, creating a lyrical, mystical visual poem. He interweaves footage of pilgrims traveling to the ceremony in prostration, a pilgrimage to the holy Mount Kailash, and numerous monks participating in the rituals. One young monk buys a small bird only to let it fly away, symbolizing the freedom of all beings. Everywhere, monks and laypeople are deeply meditating, chanting, and praying. The Dalai Lama makes an appearance in a fascinating and humorous interview with Herzog, and also performs rituals and leads the faithful in prayer. The final part of the film takes place in Austria, where the Dalai Lama conducts the same rituals in a markedly contrasting environment. Much of the film becomes a hypnotic sea of faces as Herzog's camera makes its way through the crowds. The multiplicity of individuals seen only briefly reinforces the symbolic nature of the Mandala itself: when the ceremony is complete, the painting is destroyed and its sand granules are scattered, representing the ephemeral nature of life. Theatrical Release: June 15, 2005 (NY) Wheel Of Time Reviews: 3 stars out of 5 -- "Herzog finds room for thorny, sly asides, and captures images...as awesome as any in his greatest movies."-- Damien Love, Uncut "WHEEL OF TIME is less about words than about being plunged into an intensely devotional world, feeling its tug and sensing its extreme austerity....With minimal explanation, it puts you right in the center."-- Stephen Holden, New York Times "[Herzog] blends coverage of two massive Buddhist rituals with pleas for Tibetan freedom."

Wheel Of Time film
$13.49 Numerous hit-oriented collections have focused on various styles of '70s music from disco to classic rock, but Hard to Find 45's on CD, Vol. 8 is devoted to that decade's commercial pop in the broadest sense. Where else could you find Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting," Pilot's "Magic," and Hurricane Smith's "Oh, Babe, What Would You Say?" on one disc? A few songs are genuinely rare on CD, such as Boney M.'s "Rivers of Babylon" and Prelude's a cappella rendition of "After the Gold Rush." The remastering is excellent as usual for this label, with every track presented in true stereo and in the original single version. Considering how disposable this music is supposed to be (according to the conventional wisdom), it holds up very well 30 years later. ~ Greg Adams

| | Essential Donovan CD (2004) Remastered
Wheel Of Time DVD
$7.59 Containing an economical sampling of the music from Sony's TROUBADOUR box set (and a track list that is remarkably similar to DONOVAN'S GREATEST HITS), THE ESSENTIAL DONOVAN is highly recommended for the casual Donovan fan. His egregious tag as "the British Bob Dylan" and his sometimes-silly hippie vibe notwithstanding, Donovan wrote some of the catchiest singles of the late 1960s, and this disc brings these together in one succinct, chronologically sequenced package.
The collection kicks off with the singer/songwriter's earliest recordings for the Hickory label with the folkie, guy-and-his-guitar charm of "Catch the Wind" and "Colors." When Donovan signed to Epic in 1966, however, he began the string of singles for which he is best known and that epitomized the strange yet breezy pop of the times. This includes "Sunshine Superman," "Mellow Yellow," "Epistle to Dippy," and "There Is a Mountain," each holding up as a delectable pop gem. The gentle "Jennifer ...
