The Essential Barbra Streisand is a two-disc compilation album of Barbra Streisand (her first career-retrospective) released by Sony BMG as part of their Essentials series.

Given his versatility -- skipping from opera to art song, and even Broadway show tunes with an enviable ease -- Bryn Terfel is the perfect candidate to pull off what so many operatic stars try without success: a musically satisfying crossover album. Unfortunately, this isn't it. The opening "Toréador" from Carmen is over-sung and lacks style; the folk songs, like "Danny Boy" and "Shenandoah," and even the Welsh "Bugeilo'r Gwenith Gwyn" are shapeless and bombastic; and in general, these favorites are sorely missing the expressive imagination, soul, and vocal charisma that made Terfel such a star.

В издание вошли знаменитые синглы певицы, выпущенные ранее. В их числе: «…Baby One More Time», «Toxic», «I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman» и другие. Также в альбоме появлись три новые песни певицы: «My Prerogative», ранее исполненная певцом Бобби Брауном; «Do Somethin’» (композиция, позже ставшая синглом) была написана самой певицей, и сингл «I’ve Just Begun (Having My Fun)».

Bob Marley and the Wailers were a Jamaican reggae and ska band created by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. The band formed when self-taught musician Hubert Winston McIntosh (Peter Tosh) met Neville Livingston (Bunny Wailer), and Robert Nesta Marley (Bob Marley) in 1963. By late 1963 Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, and Cherry Smith had joined the Wailers. After Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer left the band in 1974, Bob Marley began touring with new band members. His new backing band included brothers Carlton Barrett and Aston "Family Man" Barrett on drums and bass respectively, Junior Marvin and Al Anderson on lead guitar, Tyrone Downie and Earl "Wya" Lindo on keyboards, and Alvin "Seeco" Patterson on percussion. The "I Threes", consisting of Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths, and Marley's wife, Rita, provided backing vocals.

Convivendo is the eighth album by Biagio Antonacci, published in two parts as a sign of protest against the record companies and the excessive prices of the discs, but also to try to counter the growing problem of piracy.

Прошло 3 года с момента выхода предыдущего альбома Mercenary. Так что тех, кто знаком с творчеством данной команды, спешим обрадовать – 100% ВТ. А для тех, кому не довелось, попробуем рассказать: неторопливый, тяжеловесный британский death-metal высшей пробы. Четкие, многократно повторяющиеся гитарные риффы, ровные барабаны, отличное качество звука (альбом выпущен на Metal Blade). Гроулинг Дейва Ингрэма (ex-BENEDICTION) звучит не так мощно, как у предыдущего вокалиста Карла Уиллетса, но, на мой взгляд, он специально подогнан под новую, более «механистическую» концепцию ВТ.
