James Hinton’s album Potential is far from ordinary. Rather than rely on his own original tunes, Hinton, whose stage name is The Range, turned to YouTube for an assist. For each track on Potential, The Range cut together samples from YouTube music videos to create music of his own.
The album was a hit, so The Range returned for an encore. In tandem with music publication Pitchfork, the 27-year-old artist created Superimpose, an Ep featuring seven tracks that are included in a documentary of the same name.
The documentary, released on Pitchfork’s YouTube channel, follows The Range as he meets some of the unheralded and little-viewed musicians whose work he adapted for his new album. Along the way, viewers receive insights into his creative process and learn his views on digital media.

Something Weird’s Blu-ray release of Herschell Gordon Lewis’ Blood Trilogy last year was a minor revelation.

Writer/director Bill Gunn’s surreal vampire classic Ganja & Hess is finally getting a proper Blu-ray release. A newly remastered edition of the 1973 cult favorite is coming this May from genre-friendly Kino Classics. Originally conceived as another “blaxploitation” film similar in tone to Blacula, the film defied convention (and expectation) with its aggressive ambiguity and dreamlike imagery.
It stars Duane Jones (of Night of the Living Dead fame) as Dr. Hess, an anthropologist who is compelled to drink blood after being cut with an ancient African dagger. Stunning genre actress Marlene Clark (The Beast Must Die!) co-stars as Ganja, the affluent wife of the doctor’s research assistant (played by Gunn).
The resulting film confused critics and audiences alike and was pulled from release after one week in a New York theater. The producers tinkered with the flick, cutting over half an hour and changing the title several times. Throughout its difficult release history,...
