David Thompson ist ein australischer Koch, dessen Name synonym für die Geheimnisse der Thai-Küche steht. Niemand hat mehr Erfahrung zu einer der besten Küchen der Welt gesammelt, mehr Gerichte ausprobiert und nachvollziehbar niedergeschrieben als der Gastronom dessen Liebe zur Thai-Küche einem Zufall zu verdanken ist. Thompson kam ursprünglich nur nach Thailand, weil er seine Ferien kurzfristig umbuchen musste. Dort aber überkam ihn sofort die Begeisterung für die Mentalität der Einheimischen – und natürlich für den sagenhaften Geschmack ihrer Küche. Thompson beschloss den komplexen Gerichten und kulinarischen Traditionen auf den Grund zu gehen. Er suchte sich ganz besondere Lehrmeisterinnen, die ihr Handwerk am thai­ländischen Hof gelernt hatten und drang mit Forschergeist und fortgeschrittener Systematik in die Geheimnisse der Thai-Küche vor. So erwarb sich Thompson grundlegendes Wissen, das er um einen wesentlichen Faktor ergänzte: die Intuition und den Geschmack eines großen Koches. Thailändisch kochen ist das Resultat dieses Lebens­werks. Das Buch, das die Thai-Küche kanonisiert und sinnlich erleben lässt. Mit «Thailändisch kochen» publizierte der Echtzeit Verlag David Thompsons Klassiker «Thai Food» in überarbeiteter, aktualisierter und neu gestalteter Form.

Between 1972 and their first break-up in 1976 (and then again following their 1979 reunion), Roxy Music were arguably the most exciting, ambitious and vivacious bans in the land.

Newly revised for the band's 40th anniversary, a new 2017 edition of the ultimate story of the ultimate post-punk band. Combining the chaos and vocal rasp of the Sex Pistols with a Bowie-esque glamour, the Psychedelic Furs hit the big time in the U.S. when John Hughes wrote a movie based on their early single ""Pretty in Pink.""

(If You Like). If You Like Bob Marley... is the unique and utterly compulsive story of the King of Reggae, told not through the life and times of Marley himself, but through the music and magic of the musicians who grew up around and under the influence of Bob Marley and his band, the Wailers. Outlining some 200 artists, albums, songs, movies, and books, If You Like Bob Marley... tells how reggae music was torn from the confines of a small-world music cult to become one of the biggest-selling genres popular music has ever known. Recommended performers and performances are analyzed in the depth that each deserves, as the book moves out of reggae's Jamaican heartland to track its influence across the world, from California punk to French pop and beyond. Genre-spanning countdowns of the best-ever Bob Marley covers, the greatest British ska, and even the rudest songs ever written populate the pages, as author Thompson highlights artists as far apart as Eric Clapton and Rancid, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, and Serge Gainsbourg and the Clash. If You Like Bob Marley... digs deeply, too, into the annals of Jamaica's own star-studded musical history, to train fresh ears on such legends as Black Uhuru, Toots and the Maytals, Sean Paul, and Peter Tosh.

Man könnte Thompsons Geschichte für einen klassischen Abenteuerroman halten: Als Lehrling der Hudson‘s Bay-Gesellschaft und später als Leiter zahlreicher Expeditionen zieht er von Fort zu Fort, von Handelsposten zu Handelsposten an der Bay und in den Prärien der Great Plains. Als Pelzhändler reist er Tausende von Meilen durch unbekanntes Land: im Kanu, zu Pferd und mit dem Hundeschlitten. Er entdeckt die Quelle des Mississippi, überquert die Rocky Mountains und gelangt bis zum Pazifik. Für heutige Verhältnisse fast unvorstellbar, aber zur Zeit der großen territorialen Expansion nicht ungewöhnlich, wurde Thompson anfangs über viele Jahre hinweg auf seinen Reisen von seiner Frau Charlotte Small und ihren drei Kindern begleitet. Die Spuren seiner Fahrten fanden sich noch über ein Jahrhundert später, als 1921 Mitglieder der Landvermessung 114 stark verrottete Musketenkugeln fanden - nur wenig nördlich der Gipfelstraße des Athabasca-Passes: Gewehrkugeln aus Thompsons Besitz, deren Verlust dokumentiert war. Die Überquerung der großen Pässe hat Thompson unsterblichen Ruhm eingebracht und die Vorbereitungen zur 200-Jahr-Feier seiner Leistungen sind in Kanada in vollem Gange. Ähnlich seinem Vorgänger, Alexander Mackenzie, gilt David Thompson als einer der großen Begründer der modernen Zivilisation auf dem nordamerikanischen Kontinent. Sein Manuskript blieb dennoch fast unbeachtet und wurde erst vor wenigen Jahren wieder entdeckt.

Ende der Siebziger entstand in England ein neuer Sound, der düsterer und melancholischer war als die bisher bekannte Rockmusik. Gothic Rock beschäftigte sich inhaltlich mit Themen wie Tod, Verzweiflung und den Abgründen der menschlichen Seele, während er musikalisch auf den Minimalismus des Postpunk aufsetzte und ihn um hypnotische Songstrukturen und Mollakkorde ergänzte. Die romantische Todessehnsucht des Gothic wurde von der Rockpresse gern belächelt und der Humor hinter den Vampiroutfits gern übersehen. Dieses Buch räumt nun endgültig mit den Vorurteilen gegenüber diesem Genre auf: Statt um Satanisten, Friedhöfe und endlose Traurigkeit geht es Dave Thompson um die musikalischen Wurzeln, von Bertolt Brecht und Leonard Cohen bis Iggy Pop, um lustige Horrorfilme und wahrlich schwarzen Humor – und um den Einfluss eines Sounds, dem die Musikszene nicht nur Marilyn Manson, sondern letztlich auch Guns N‘ Roses verdankt. Für sein Buch zapfte Thompson die wichtigsten schwarzen Quellen an und holte sich die Informationen aus erster Hand von Bauhaus, The Cure, The Mission oder New Order. Schwarzarbeiter – Helden und Legenden des Gothic Rock bilden eine wichtige Grundlage zum Verständnis der großen deutschen Gothic-Szene, die sich noch heute auf den Sound und das Image der Düsterrocker aus England beruft.

It is now 35 years since Deep Purple first came together and today ― 14 musicians, 17 albums, and millions of record sales later ― the group remains a monster.

Drawing from candid interviews with band members, associates, and fans alike, it traces the group through some of the most turbulent times that any band has survived, placing the band’s own music in vivid context and illustrating just how profoundly this one group helped change the world.

" Last Tango left me depleted and exhausted. Some of the pain I was experiencing was my very own. Thereafter I decided to make my living in a way that was less devastating emotionally." Thus Marlon Brando recalled, in his autobiography, making Last Tango in Paris .Bernardo Bertolucci's graphic and harrowing account of sexual obsession, grief, psychic breakdown, and murder premiered in 1972 at the New York Film Festival. The print was escorted to the screening by armed guards. On the film's subsequent release in Italy, Bertolucci, Brando, co-star Maria Schneider, and producer Alberto Grimaldi were indicted on obscenity charges and found guilty. Controversy and censorship dogged the film, but it was a great commercial and critical success. Venerated New Yorker critic Pauline Kael called Last Tango "the most powerfully erotic movie ever made."David Thompson's fluent account of Last Tango in Paris details the conception, production, and fortunes of the film. Drawing on a new and extensive interview with Bertolucci, Thompson shows how the film crystallized Bertolucci's interest in art, literature, and psychoanalysis, and how it was realized through the consummate skills of cast and crew. Ending with a discussion of how important this film is for an understanding of Brando, Schneider, and Jean-Pierre Leaud, Thompson unravels the brilliance of Last Tango in Paris' depiction of human behavior and emotion.
