Warren Ellis

Ellisova kniha je neobvyklou literární poctou legendární jazzové zpěvačce a pianistce Nině Simone. Světoznámý hudebník v ní vypráví příběh zdánlivě bezvýznamného předmětu – žvýkačky, kterou Simone během koncertu v roce 1999 odložila na klavír a kterou si autor později odnesl domů jako suvenýr. Tento zvláštní moment se postupně stává výchozím bodem pro osobní, někdy humornou a jindy dojemnou reflexi o fanouškovství, paměti a síle hudby. Ellis sleduje, jak může zdánlivě bezvýznamný drobný artefakt nést otisk mimořádné osobnosti a stát se symbolem inspirace. Kniha tak není jen kuriózní historkou, ale také meditací o vztahu mezi umělcem a jeho publikem, o tom, jak vzniká úcta k hudebním ikonám a jak může umění zasahovat do lidského života. Autorův vypravěčský styl je osobní, hravý a plný nadšení pro hudbu, která dokáže překračovat čas i každodennost. Kniha pro každého vnímavého hudebního fanouška, nejen pro milovníky Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds!

Nick Cave a Warren Ellis predstavujú príznačne epický a úžasný soundtrack k šesťdielnemu seriálu „Mars“ na kanáli National Geographic. Fiktívny televízny seriál rozpráva príbeh prvej posádky astronautov na misii na Mars v roku 2033. Seriál, ktorý režíroval Everardo Gout a produkovali Ron Howard a Brian Grazer, mal premiéru vnovembri 2016. Skladatelia Nick Cave a Warren Ellis vytvorili dokonalý soundtrack k vzrušujúcej, no zároveň desivej misii na osamelú cudziu planétu, kde ľudský druh bojuje o prežitie, prosperitu a existenciu v tomto novom svete. Cave a Ellis poskytli trinásť skladieb vrátane titulnej skladby seriálu, ktorá má podobne kozmickú elektronickú atmosféru ako album kapely „Skeleton Tree“. Tracklist: A1. Mars Theme A2. Mars A3. Daedalus A4. Earth A5. Science A6. Space X A7. Space Station B1. Symphony Of The Dead B2. Planetarium B3. Towards Daedalus B4. Life On Mars

Nick Cave a Warren Ellis vytvorili atmosférický soundtrack k dokumentu „Back to Black“, ktorý zaznamenáva vzostup a vplyv Amy Winehouse. Ich skladba je prenikavou, no zároveň oduševnenou poctou, ktorá spája melancholické sláčiky a atmosférické zvukové krajiny, aby odrážala búrlivý život Amy Winehouse a jej hlbokú umeleckú tvorbu. Hudba dua podčiarkuje emocionálnu hĺbku filmu a zachytáva surovosť jej bojov aj brilantnosť jej hudobného odkazu. Tracklist: A1. Opening A2. At The Taxi A3. Park Bench A4. Tattoo Parlour A5. Dublin Castle A6. Snooker Hall A7. Sort Yourselves Out B1. Soho To Glastonbury B2. Holloway Prison B3. The End B4. Song For Amy B5. Song For Amy (Reprise)

Soundtrack k filmu „Lawless“ obsahuje coververzie od umelcov ako Velvet Underground a Captain Beefheart, ako aj originálne skladby od Cavea/Ellisa a skvelého Willieho Nelsona. Tracklist: A1. Fire And Brimstone - Mark Lanegan A2. Burnin' Hell - Nick Cave A3. Sure 'Nuff 'N Yes I Do - Ralph Stanley A4. Fire In The Blood - Emmylou Harris A5. White Light / White Heat - Mark Lanegan A6.

As the 21st century dawns, a battle-hardened Authority turns its attention to a previously unchallenged class of villains-the invisible power brokers who manipulate the world's political figureheads to advance their own selfish interests. The powers that be, however, didn't get where they are by playing nice. They've made plans for every contingency-including teams of insanely powerful superhumans with sentient, city-size, interdimensional spaceships. So when the Authority begins to seriously upset their hard-won networks of control, the backlash that results is as swift as it is devastating. But as bad as things get, these attacks are still comprehensible on a human scale. The same can't be said for what is following in their wake.

I hadn't opened the towel that contained her gum since 2013. The last person to touch it was Nina Simone, her saliva and fingerprints unsullied. The idea that it was still in her towel was something I had drawn strength from. I thought each time I opened it some of Nina Simone's spirit would vanish. In many ways that thought was more important than the gum itself. On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave's Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone's piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, a conduit that would eventually take Ellis back to his childhood and his relationship with found objects, growing in significance with every passing year. Nina Simone's Gum is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process, friendship, understanding and love.

V druhém příběhu se James Bond ocitá v pasti ve městě Los Angeles, kde spolu s další agentkou MI6 musí čelit útoku jedné zpravodajské služby (a dost možná i více než jedné), která by je ráda viděla v márnici s visačkou na palci. Situace se nezlepší ani s jejich návratem do Británie. Mrtvých přibývá a záhadní fantomové vystupují z mlžného oparu vysoké politiky...

New York Times best-selling writer Warren Ellis (TRANSMETROPOLITAN, RED, THE AUTHORITY) returns to DC to curate Jim Lee's WildStorm world, resetting the WildStorm universe with new iterations of Grifter, Voodoo, the Engineer, Jenny Sparks and more! Everyone is looking up. A man has been thrown from the upper floor of a skyscraper. Angela Spica, sick from the transhuman implants she's buried in her own body--is the only person who can save him. What she doesn't know is that the act of saving that one man will tip over a vast and secret house of cards that encloses the entire world, if not the inner solar system. This is how the Wild Storm begins, and it may destroy covert power structures, secret space programs and even all of human history. Collects THE WILD STORM #1-6.

Slavná série se točí kolem tříčlenné skupinky "archeologů nemožného", kteří po celém světě odhalují záhady a taje a specializují se na bytosti se superschopnostmi a jejich vliv na svět lidí. Působí proto svým způsobem jako mnohem zábavnější a pestřejší komiksová obdoba Akt X. V prvním svazku najdeme krátký úvod a šest propojených prvních příběhů týmu, které nás zavedou tam, kam název slibuje: od japonského ostrova obydleného obludami podobnými dinosaurům, přes Hong Kong, kde se zločinem bojují duchové vyzbrojení přízračnými zbraněmi, jež není nikdy třeba dobíjet, až po objev kvantového počítače vyrobeného v roce 1945.
