- Record On is a major series exploring the context of the times around the making of ground-breaking albums by some of the world's most prominent artists. With full authorization and involvement of the artists, each episode takes its tone from the social, cultural and political focus of the time and charts a human journey in the creative process, as each artist reflects upon changes and movement in their own lives, as well as the wider world and how this is reflected in their music and performance. Featuring interviews with New Order's Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert, Record On: Power, Corruption and Lies unravels the creative process behind New Order's 1983 album, Power, Corruption and Lies as well as standalone single Blue Monday and explores the themes inside the album, of a band finding new direction and moving on from its past. Taking inspiration for their evolving sound from New York's new-wave clubs of the early 1980s and newly acquired sequencers and keyboards, electronic instrumentation quickly drove New Order's songwriting process, conceiving global smash-hit Blue Monday. This film also explores the impact of the technological shifts that took place in the early 1980s as the digital-age began to percolate through all parts of society - from commerce and financial trading, to offices and home entertainment; with contributions from graphic designer Peter Saville, Blue Monday producer Michael Johnson and American record producer Arthur Baker.
- Examines Paul Weller's human journey through changing times in the early 1990's, the new direction in sound that he found and the resulting tour-de-force that is Wild Wood; Weller's second solo studio album, released in 1993. Through new interviews, Paul Weller and band explore the period of 1992/3 and what was happening inside the studio, as well as events outside-the-studio-window that influenced the writing and composing of the songs for Wild Wood. In contrast to the business-driven commercial pop songs that populated the charts across the UK and Europe in the early 1990s, Paul Weller was driven to reach for a more analogue sound for Wild Wood, resulting in a more organic feel and a return to his roots. Includes interviews with Paul Weller, Mick Talbot, Steve White, Max Beesley, Yolanda Charles, Steve Cradock, Go. Discs' Andy Macdonald, Wild Wood producer Brendan Lynch and photographer Lawrence Watson.
