Michael Stipe and Mike Mills, backstage at their 2008 UK Stadium Tour, talk to Xfm for a world-exclusive, occasionally explosive, career retrospective.

Xfm caught up with Michael Stipe and Mike Mills to film a world-exclusive documentary. Over five parts, the band chart their slow rise to stadium-fillers and take time out to pass judgement on the current US presidential race. Stuffed full with live tracks and archive footage, it's not to be missed.

Part 1: R.E.M. on the US presidential race
Part 2: The band's formation, the scene in Athens and early influences
Part 3: The early albums and their move to Warner Brothers
Part 4: Religion, Automatic and super-stardom
