Limpid nocturnal longing on seventh album from shifting collective

The Tamworth shaman returns to the fray, heroically recharged

Important country-rock harbinger from Alabama siblings Vern and Rex

Stealthy romantics collate their non-hits

Debut album plus CD of previously unreleased demos from '70s Scots funkers

Tantalising if timid version of '80s TV landmark

Released as part of an Eastwood box set, this finds Clint and Richard Burton breaking into a Nazi-held Alpine fortress to rescue a US general, then spectacularly blazing their way out. With bombings, knifings, shootings and that famous fracas atop a cable car, the body count is gratifyingly high. One wonders, given the bloody duo's amazing strike-rate, why they didn't ride their luck and continue straight on to Berlin.

Magic spells, a crystal pendant and eco-friendly robots all figure in this animated new age fable from Hayao Miyazaki (creator of Spirited Away) as two children search for a legendary flying city. Not a patch on the director's later work, and the comedy material is tiresome; still, it's streets ahead of Disney, and the flying sequences are just incredible.

Brando stars in and directs whopping, overlooked 1961 western that cries out for iconic status

Fourth album in 20 years from Giant Sand's twisted country cousin
