Les Gray was the lead singer of Mud, one of the most successful bands of the Seventies, whose hit records included "Tiger Feet" (1974), "Lonely This Christmas" (the Christmas No 1 in 1974) and "Oh Boy" (1975).
"I don't know why we called ourselves Mud," said Gray in 1994,
but I know we wanted one short word like The Who or Them because it looks so good on posters. If you're on a festival with a lot of acts, you want big lettering and you don't stand a chance if you're called the Incredible String Band. Mud was also a funny name and we knew we would get all the "Mud in your eye" and "My name is Mud" jokes.

West Side Story is the soundtrack album to the 1961 film West Side Story, featuring music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Released in 1961, the soundtrack spent 54 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's stereo albums charts, giving it the longest run at No. 1 of any album in history, although some lists instead credit Michael Jackson's Thriller, on the grounds that this run for West Side Story was on a chart for stereo albums only at a time when many albums were recorded in mono. It did also spend 6 weeks at the top of the Billboard chart for mono albums. In 1962, it won a Grammy award for "Best Sound Track Album – Original Cast". In the United States, it was one of the best-selling albums of the 1960s, certifying three times platinum by the RIAA on November 21, 1986.

9 is the 5th French album and 7th studio album in total to be released by the singer Lara Fabian.
The album is considered by many as a shift in Lara's music style, and vocal performance, primarily because it was Lara's first album that long time producer, Rick Allison, did not produce. The Album was produced by Jean-Félix Lalanne. He also, with Fabian, composed many of the songs in the album.
Special digipack editions of the album included a DVD of music videos for most of the songs on the album.

There's some distinct quality in many Dutch art rock / prog releases since the early 70's, which made bands like "Focus" and "Kayak" so popular. Like those legends, "Lunar Clock" creates melodic, symphonic rock with layered keyboards and exquisite guitars, carrying on the great tradition. As an example, listen to the guitar solo in the 2nd half of the last track. Yeah, that's genuinely Dutch! Favorite track: Metabolism III: Spring.

Как-то это всё прошло мимо меня, но на данный момент немецкая группа Lucifer активно собирает вокруг себя сторонников, в то время как многие поклонники тяжёлой музыки даже называют их новой надеждой классического металла. В то же самое время издания вроде Metal Hammer и Classic Rock активно генерируют хайп вокруг их творчества, а каждый новый их альбом удостаивается просто космических похвал. Так что если вы, как и я, провели последние лет пять где-нибудь под большим и сырым камнем, то вам примерная диспозиция: Lucifer - это проект немецкой вокалистки Иоанны Садонис, который она основала после безвременного распада группы Oath. Исходно одним из его участников был Газ Дженнингс, которого вы можете знать по его работе в Cathedral, - именно этим фактом, скорее всего, объясняется то, что музыка Lucifer с самого начала была пропитана духом дум-металла. Их неторопливые гитарные риффы и атмосферный звуковой напор можно сравнить с ранним творчеством Black Sabbath. Однако этим их творчество не исчерпывалось, - со своей стороны Иоанна вдохнула в песни Lucifer энергетику тяжёлого рока восьмидесятых, что выражается в хитовых и запоминающихся мелодиях и общей композиционной стройности. Если вас до сих пор не заинтересовали эти ребята, то, скажу честно, не знаю, чего вы в жизни этой ищете. Лично я искренне наслаждаюсь как этой группой, так и их новым релизом в лице "Lucifer III".
