It was an attempt to showcase their recent remixes and possibly recreate some of the critical success of the earlier remix collection Disco, however Disco 2 is one of the Pet Shop Boys' most poorly received albums by critics and fans. The tracks on the CD were mixed into one long continuous megamix by DJ Danny Rampling. As a result, most of the tracks are in edited versions, having been cut off mid-way through in a crossfade into the following tracks (as a DJ might do while mixing music live). Some of the tracks were reduced by more than half of their original lengths in this way. In addition, some tracks were sped up or slowed down, in order to match the overall tempo of the mix.

Am 4. März 1970 kam ein Lied in die deutsche Hitparade, das bis auf Platz 1 empor schnellen und zum Bestseller des Jahres werden sollte: "Du" von Peter Maffay. Damit begann die steile Karriere des kleinen Sängers und Gitarristen aus dem rumänischen Kronstadt. Eine Karriere, die bis heute weitergeht. Früher war Peter Maffay als Schnulzensänger abgestempelt, bis er 1979 mit dem Album Steppenwolf zeigte, wo künftig sein Rock-Weg hinführen würde. Dass er inzwischen mit Kindermusicals wie Tabaluga Edelmetallauszeichnungen einheimst, dass er mit Musikern aus aller Welt Ethnopop und Multikulti-Rock einspielt, tut seinem inzwischen gefestigten Image als deutscher Super-Rockstar keinen Abbruch, im Gegenteil.

Pentangle (or The Pentangle) are a British folk-jazz band with an eclectic mix of folk, jazz, blues and folk rock influences. The original band was active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and a later version has been active since the early 1980s. The original line-up, which was unchanged throughout the band's first incarnation (1967–1973), was: Jacqui McShee, vocals; John Renbourn, vocals and guitar; Bert Jansch, vocals and guitar; Danny Thompson, double bass; and Terry Cox, drums.
The name Pentangle was chosen to represent the five members of the band, and is also the device on Sir Gawain's shield in the Middle English poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight which held a fascination for Renbourn.
In 2007, the original members of the band were reunited to receive a Lifetime Achievement award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and to record a short concert that was broadcast on BBC radio. In June 2008, the band, comprising all five original members, embarked on a twelve-date UK tour.

The Italian is the debut album of Italian baritone Patrizio Buanne. It was released in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2005, and in the United States on March 7, 2006.
The album is composed of romantic Italian tunes, influenced by the songs of Italian and Italian-American singers (such as Sergio Bruni and Frank Sinatra) that Buanne heard played as a youth in his father's Italian restaurant. Buanne strives to re-invent the classics of that era with this new album of traditional songs arranged in a fresh style and sung in both Italian and English.
The album has received gold in the UK, Austria and Finland, platinum in New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan, and even double platinum in South Africa and triple platinum in Australia. At its peak, it also charted at number five on Billboard's "Top World Music Albums" chart.

Discography: The Complete Singles Collection is an 18-track compilation by the UK electronic music group Pet Shop Boys. It was first released in 1991. The album charted at No 3 in the UK album charts.
As the name suggests, Discography is a collection of all of the hit singles by Pet Shop Boys up to that point (1991), alongside two new tracks "DJ Culture" and "Was It Worth It?". Although all other songs on this album had appeared in some form on their previous albums, only six of the songs previously appeared on an album in their single versions.

If you lived in Italy or been exposed to people who have, you may have heard Peppino's songs. He is a part of the writing of those songs in this CD, all 14 of them. If you know the language you will be moved by the lyrics and if you don't you'll feel them through the melodic, gentle music attached. He's a romantic through and through and contagious. The music and lyrics will touch your heart no matter your age or gender.

This is one of many compilations drawn from Paul Robeson's 1930s recordings for the British EMI label. Despite being referred to in the skimpy, often inaccurate liner notes as a "selection of his greatest performances," it mixes some of his best -- including "Ol' Man River" -- with the sometimes second-rate material he was given to record. Still, with 20 tracks and a running time near 58 minutes, it is an adequate collection if purchased for a discount price. Don't spring for it as a high-priced import, however; there are better domestic collections and better imports.
