If you have any interest in Hip-Hop or electro music then this documentary film is fantastic.

Very detailed, it covers the invention of the Roland 808 and has indepth interviews with the godfathers of electro and Hip Hop.

There are cool insights into late period Marvin Gaye and R&B hits by such as Joyce Simms.

Enjoyable interviews with Africa B. the Beastie Boys, Rick Rubin, Fat Boy Slim, etc.

I saw it on Amazon prime.

It was mentioned on the Amazon Prime/Netflix thread. Very good documentary IMO.

Ahh, I do not read those things, my daughter pointed me to it. It deserves to be in the music threads. Amazon I find soo crap normally, so hardly ever look at it. (the wife pays for it)
