From Monty Python to current film Tideland, Terry Gilliam’s reputation lies in his visual imagination & uncomprimising nature. Described by Gilliam as ‘Alice in Wonderland meets Psycho’,and based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name, Tideland depicts the world of Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland), a world where fireflies have names, squirrels talk, and the heads of four dolls, long since separated from their bodies, keep her company.
For me the film is about trying to show the resilience of children and how strong they are, so you throw them into the deep s**t and they still come out shining. Terry Gilliam

Throughout their 10-year history, Tortoise have been one of the most singularly dynamic bands in modern music. With each record they have not only redefined their own sound, but helped to nudge music itself in unique and exciting new directions.
As part of the enormously successful “Don’t Look Back” ATP season, Tortoise performed their second full-length album Millions Now Living. The majority of the material was first conceived during an idyllic 10-day retreat in Northern Vermont, where the group were able to explore their ideas in a setting that fostered introspection and inspiration: the results are clearly evident in the washes of Klangfärben (tone color) and rhythm that permeate the album.
