An unauthorised documentary about the Beastie Boys, featuring exclusive interviews with the band and those who have worked with them over the years, plus previously-unseen film footage.

Ill Communication is the fourth album by the Beastie Boys. It was released on May 23, 1994. It was remastered and made available on the Beastie Boys' Web site on July 7, 2009. It was their second #1 album on the Billboard charts due to their hit "Sabotage" which was accompanied by a music video produced by Spike Jonze that parodied 70s cop shows. The album would also be their second triple platinum album.

Originally released through the Beastie Boys' French fan club, The In Sound From Way Out! is a collection of the group's funky instrumentals from Check Your Head and Ill Communication, with a couple of new tracks thrown in. The Beasties have a flair for loose, gritty funk and soul-jazz, and the stuttering, greasy keyboards of Money Mark give the music an extra edge -- he helps make the music sound as authentic as anything from the early '70s.

The infomercial-worthy 15-track compendium distills the NYC trio's storied career into an ADD-friendly digest format: Covering the Boys' first platinum-mining expeditions with "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn" and "Fight For Your Right" through west coast detours "Shake Your Rump", "So What'cha Want" and "Sabotage," up to last year's return to #1 with the million-plus-selling To The 5 Boroughs' "Ch-Check It Out," "An Open Letter To NYC" and "Triple Trouble" -and all points between. So whether you're reliving your own favorite Beastie Boys memories or sharing the Spike Jonze-helmed "Sabotage" or the Nathanial Hornblower masterpiece "Intergalactic" with a loved one for the first time, the audio and visual Solid Gold Hits experience is guaranteed to put the spice in your fruitcake this holiday season.
