No Earthly Connection is a 1976 progressive rock concept album by Rick Wakeman. It was recorded in France for tax purposes.
The LP record's sleeve attributes the album to Rick Wakeman and the English Rock Ensemble. In addition to Wakeman with his wide variety of keyboard instruments, including harpsichords, Mellotrons, Moog synthesizers, organs, and pianos, musicians on the album are vocalist Ashley Holt, Roger Newell (bass guitar and vocals), John Dunsterville (guitars, mandolin, and vocals), Tony Fernandez (drums and percussion), Martyn Shields (trumpet, French horn, and vocals), and Reg Brooks (trombone and vocals).

Ever since he hit the national scene, in the late 1980s, Russell Malone has made two things very clear. First, he plays with exquisite taste, at any tempo and in any setting. And second, his tastefulness hasn't crowded out his overwhelming technique: from the start, his ability to construct firecracker solos, exploding with complexity and virtuosic finesse, has never been in doubt. But on All About Melody, Malone homed in on strong melodies. “I prefer to play songs that stick in my head, and in the listener's head” paired with harmonic schemes that might prompt imaginative improvisations. And indeed, each of the pieces Malone included on this session meets the bill. They also have one additional virtue: they are played by Russell's working band of Rick Germanson, Luke Sellick and Willie Jones III. Together they are able to selflessly convey the essence of these melodies and prove, to paraphrase Beethoven, “what comes from the heart, goes to the heart.”

The birth of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow was brought about by Ritchie Blackmore's dislike of the Funkier, Bluesier direction that David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes were taking Deep Purple in. And at this stage of his career Ritchie was still very much into playing the type of Neoclassical Hard Rock/Metal with Medieval/Historic imagery that had made him, and Deep Purple famous worldwide. For this he found the perfect foil in Frontman/Vocalist Ronnie James Dio of the band Elf (Who has just finished a tour with Purple). Together with Dio and the members of Elf, Ritchie Blackmore recorded Rainbow, which is a truly amazing album full of Hard Rock gems made vibrant by Dio's mythological imagery and lyrics. And adorned by Ritchie's searing Guitars. And utterly gorgeous ballad's like Dio's Catch The Rainbow, A continuation of a long line of Dio penned songs using the imagery of a rainbow, which he would later continue in his own band, Dio. Also included is a fantastic Hard Rock reworking of the lost Heavy Prog epic Quatermass' Black Sheep Of The Family which Deep Purple had refused to record or include on the landmark Stormbringer album. In all, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow is a true landmark and a defining moment in both Ritchie Blackmore's and Ronnie James Dio's careers and a turning point in Heavy Metal history.
