Bark at the Moon is the third studio album by British heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, originally released on 15 November 1983. A commercial success, Bark at the Moon peaked at number 19 on the Billboard album chart and within several weeks of release was certified gold for over 500,000 sales in the United States. To date, it has sold over 3,000,000 copies in the United States. In the UK, it was the third of four Osbourne albums to attain silver certification (60,000 units sold) by the British Phonographic Industry, achieving this in January 1984. The album was remastered on CD in 1995 and again (with a different mix) in 2002. This is Osbourne's first album to feature guitarist Jake E. Lee and only studio album to feature drummer Tommy Aldridge.

Bark at the Moon is the only Ozzy Osbourne album on which the songwriting is credited entirely to Osbourne. However, guitarist Jake E. Lee maintains that he composed a significant amount of the album's music but was cheated out of his writing and publishing claims by Osbourne's wife and manager, Sharon. Lee claims that after he had composed the songs and completed recording his parts in the studio, he was presented with a contract which stated that he would have no claim to any writing or publishing relating to the album. The contract also stated that Lee could not mention this publicly. Lee claims he signed the contract because he had no legal representation and because Sharon threatened to fire him and have another guitarist re-record his parts if he refused.

Es dauerte einige Zeit, bis sich Osbourne vom Tod seines Songwriting-Partners und Freundes Rhoads erholt hatte. Jake E. Lee (zuvor u. a. bei Dio) als Nachfolger spielte weniger neoklassisch, dafür metalorientierter. Das von Max Norman produzierte Album verkaufte sich dennoch ebenso gut wie der Vorgänger. Es enthielt mit So Tired auch eine streicherunterlegte Ballade. Das Video zum Titelstück, wie das Albumcover von Greg Cannom, wurde ein MTV-Erfolg. Im Video ist Carmine Appice zu sehen, obwohl Tommy Aldridge bei den Aufnahmen das Schlagzeug spielte. Zudem ist Gary-Moore-Keyboarder Don Airey als Gastmusiker zu hören.

В Secret Journey Омар Акрам, как и в предыдущем проекте, плодотворно сотрудничает с Грегом Карукасом, взявшим на себя обязанности продюсера и звукоинженера. Помимо него в работе над альбом участвовал целый ряд музыкантов высокого класса.
Звуковую палитру альбома это сделало весьма разнообразной – помимо клавишных и акустического фортепьяно, звучат и флейта, и гитары, и много разнообразных этнических перкуссионных инструментов.

Афганец по происхождению, Омар Акрам родился и вырос в Нью-Йорке – его отец был дипломатом и представлял свою страну в ООН. В силу специфики профессии отца Омар подолгу жил в самых разных странах мира. Не самая обычная биография дала этому человеку уникальный опыт – ему одинаково близки и понятны мир Запада и мир Востока. Этот опыт Омар старается воплощать в музыке.

Sugar Tax is the eighth album by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released in 1991 on Virgin Records. It was the group's first studio album since 1986, and the first of three recorded without co-founder Paul Humphreys, who had departed in 1989. Featuring singer Andy McCluskey with a new backing band, it leans more towards the dance-pop genre that was prevalent in the early 1990s, than the experimental brand of synthpop which characterised OMD's earlier recordings.
