Heaven is the debut studio album by English singer-songwriter Rebecca Ferguson. The album was released on December 5, 2011 under the recordings of Syco Music and RCA Records. Recording sessions include: London, Los Angeles and Sweden. Eg White, who has worked with Adele and Duffy, serves as a major collaborator. Additional producers and songwriters include Steve Booker, Fraser T Smith, Xenomania, Paul Barry and Mark Taylor. Ferguson later revealed that she would be co-writing the whole of her album in order for her to "connect" with the songs.

From September to December 1999, the band rented the house Weimar in Heiligendamm on the Baltic Sea for pre-production. The sound recordings took place in May and June 2000 at Studio Miraval in southern France. Already over Christmas 2000, Rammstein released the song Links 2 3 4 on their website for download. In January 2001 the video was released, in February the single Sonne.

The Bends is the second studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released on 13 March 1995 by Parlophone Records internationally and by Capitol Records in the United States. The album was produced by John Leckie at EMI's studios in London, and engineered by Nigel Godrich, who would go on to produce all future albums by the band. The album also marked the beginning of a shift in aesthetics and themes for the band, with greater use of keyboards, and more abrasive guitar tracks balancing subtler ones. The introspective grunge-influenced style of their debut album Pablo Honey (1993) evolved into more multi-layered rock with cryptic lyrics and larger ideas, as the band and singer Thom Yorke reacted against the rigors of near-constant world tours.

Pablo Honey is the debut studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released in February 1993. The album was produced by Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie and was recorded at Chipping Norton Recording Studios and Courtyard Studio, Oxfordshire from September to November 1992. It features three charting singles: "Anyone Can Play Guitar", "Stop Whispering", and perhaps the band's most well-known hit on mainstream radio, "Creep". Pablo Honey peaked at No. 22 in the United Kingdom charts and went platinum there and in other countries. The album title comes from a Jerky Boys prank call skit in which the prank caller says to his victim: "Pablo, honey? Please come to Florida!" This snippet is sampled by the band on the track "How Do You?".

Kid A is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 2 October 2000 by Parlophone Records and Capitol Records. The band's songwriter Thom Yorke envisioned a radical change in direction for the album after feeling burnt out from promoting the band's acclaimed 1997 album OK Computer. Incorporating influences from genres such as krautrock, jazz, 20th-century classical music and the electronic music of Warp artists, Radiohead replaced their guitars with synthesisers, drum machines, the ondes Martenot, string orchestras and brass instruments. They recorded Kid A with producer Nigel Godrich in Paris, Copenhagen, Gloucestershire and their hometown Oxford, England.

Funky Dory is the solo debut album by English pop–dance singer Rachel Stevens. It was released by Polydor Records on 29 September 2003 in the United Kingdom. The album was produced by various record producers including Bloodshy & Avant and Richard X.
It received a positive reception from music critics, some of whom complimented its surprising diversity, charm and relative depth, while others thought of it to be poorly written, produced and forgettable. Despite critical commentary, it became Stevens' most successful album release, and reached number nine in the United Kingdom, where it was certified gold. On 16 July 2004 the album was re-issued in the United Kingdom, including three new songs, and reached number thirteen on the albums chart. Funky Dory was released in Canada on 16 March 2004; however, it failed to generate much interest outside of the United Kingdom.

Out of Time is the seventh studio album by American alternative rock band R.E.M., released on March 12, 1991 by Warner Bros. Records. With Out of Time, R.E.M.'s status grew from that of a cult band to a massive international act. The record topped the album sales charts in both the U.S. and the United Kingdom, spending 109 weeks on American album charts and enjoying two separate spells at the summit, and spending 183 weeks on the British charts and a single week at the top. The album has sold over four and a half million copies in the U.S. and over 18 million copies worldwide. The album won three Grammy Awards in 1992: one as Best Alternative Music Album, and two for the first single, "Losing My Religion."

Document is the fifth studio album by American rock band R.E.M., released on September 1, 1987 by I.R.S. Records. It was the first album by the band to be produced by Scott Litt.

Around the Sun был довольно прохладно встречен большинством музыкальных критиков. По мнению одного из редакторов интернет-портала «Allmusic» Стивена Томаса Эрлевайна, вошедшие в альбом «песни крепко сколочены, но при этом скучны, им не хватает музыкальных и текстовых хуков». Обозреватель журнала «Rolling Stone» Барри Уолтерс охарактеризовал Around the Sun как «как ещё один медленный, бессвязный CD от трио, которое не может полностью оправиться после ухода барабанщика Билла Берри в 1997 году».

Accelerate is the 14th studio album by American alternative rock band R.E.M., released on March 31, 2008 in Europe, and on April 1 in North America. Produced with Jacknife Lee, Accelerate was intended as a departure from the 2004 album Around the Sun.[2] R.E.M. previewed several of the album's tracks during a five-night residency at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, and recorded the album in a nine-week schedule.
The album was heralded as a return to form for the band, receiving a warm reception from music critics and achieving a 79/100 rating on Metacritic. Reviewers often complimented the aggressive, purposeful sound of the songs, with Q magazine critic Keith Cameron stating that "Accelerate is the sound of a band having enjoyed a good word with themselves—and us."

Следующего релиза пришлось ждать три года, и связано это было большей частью с тем, что Ферди начал параллельно работать в группе Акселя Руди Пелла, а также занимался выпуском второго сольника. Наконец в 2001-м на свет появился концептуальный опус "Symphony of Life", который был отмечен возвращением в родные пенаты Герберта Хартмана и продюсерской работой Джона Оливы. В том же году Ферди был занят в проекте Taraxacum. В 2002-м Томас Людольфи понял, что не вписывается в творчество Rough Silk, и ушел из группы, решив вообще завязать с музыкой. Замену ему искать не стали, а вокальные обязанности раскидали между всеми участниками, причем большая часть досталась Дорнбергу.

По записи мы проделали действительно огромную работу: все инструменты записаны в аналоговом формате, сведение и мастеринг также произведены по классической схеме, так что в записи нет цифровой компрессии, безжизненности звука... Альбом звучит так, как должен звучать настоящий рок альбом.Я мог бы продолжать часами восхвалять вклад каждого - музыкантов и певцов, - но поскольку мое мнение неизбежно будет очень предвзятым, я предпочел бы оставить окончательное решение вам ... альбом ведь был сделан для вашего удовольствия (хотя и нам он очень нравится)"

Группа хорошо подкована в истории хэви-металла и хвастается любовью к группе Cynic и ее альбому Focus в соло в песне Scattering The Flock и к Voivod на Numbing Agents. Возможно, лучшая песня на альбоме Invidious. Она является возможно самой связной песней, которую группа когда-либо писала с использованием банджо во вступлении. Фанаты современного трэш-метала вообще будут наслаждаться этой работой, поскольку она напоминает Exodus.
