Ska-P - is a Spanish ska punk band formed in 1994 in Vallecas, a district of Madrid, by a group of friends from Madrid, Navarre and Euskadi.
The band can be categorized, politically, as an anti-establishment musical group, sometimes even considered anarcho-communist. Musically, despite their fun image, Ska-P has well-rehearsed and tight arrangements, and as of 2002, includes among its members a brass section.

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (often shortened to Never Mind the Bollocks) is the only studio album by English punk rock band the Sex Pistols, released on 28 October 1977 through Virgin Records in the UK and on 11 November 1977 through Warner Bros. Records in the US. As a result of the Sex Pistols' volatile internal relationships, the band's lineup saw changes during the recording of the album. Original bass guitarist Glen Matlock left the band early in the recording process, and while he is credited as a co-writer on all but two of the tracks, he only played bass and sang backing vocals on one track, "Anarchy in the U.K." Recording sessions continued with a new bass player, Sid Vicious, who is credited on two of the songs written by the band after he joined. While Vicious's bass playing appeared on two tracks, his lack of skill on the instrument meant that many of the tracks were recorded with guitarist Steve Jones playing bass instead. Drummer Paul Cook, Jones and singer Johnny Rotten appear on every track. The various recording sessions were led alternately by Chris Thomas or Bill Price, and sometimes both together, but as the songs on the final albums often combined mixes from different sessions, or were poorly documented who was present in the recording booth at the time, each song is jointly credited to both producers.

The Ultimate Aural Orgasm is the twelfth studio album by Scooter. Two singles were released from it: "Behind the Cow" and "Lass uns tanzen". This is the first album released with new member Michael Simon. Its artwork is an homage to the 1987 album Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode.

Leben is the third studio album by German electronic musician, composer and producer Christopher von Deylen under his Schiller alias. It features collaborations with renowned vocalists such as Sarah Brightman, Maya Saban, Peter Heppner and Kim Sanders. Schiller used Daf and Tombak which are the two most Powerful Persian percussive instruments on the 10th track of this album (The Smile ft Sarah Brightman).

It's almost too easy to tag a pair of French guitarists with the Django Reinhardt label, but in the case of Sylvain Luc and Bireli Lagrene's beautiful new Duet, there are moments when the tag is wonderfully accurate. Throughout a swinging rendition of Reinhardt's "Douce Ambiance" and the classic "Stompin' at the Savoy," Luc and Birelli display an affinity for the legendary French jazzman's subtle swing and Gypsy modalities that goes well beyond a mere copycat gesture. The pair are equally masterful in turning pop songs like Cyndi Lauper's "Time after Time" and Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" into gorgeous jazz balladry. Luc and Lagrene play off one another with an almost telepathic ease, and their delicate rapport lights up the pared-down instrumentation of two acoustic guitars, whether they're getting subtly funky on Wes Montgomery's "Road Song" or fingerpicking through the Beatles' "Blackbird." Jazz guitar aficionados may find some of Duet reminiscent of John McLaughlin, Al Dimeola, and Paco de Lucia's hugely popular Friday Night in San Francisco. Duet's appeal comes from making masterfully rendered, stripped-down music that shines. --Ezra Gale

Suzanne Nadine Vega (born July 11, 1959) is an American songwriter and singer known for her eclectic folk-inspired music.
Two of Vega's songs (both from her second album Solitude Standing, 1987) reached the top 10 of various international chart listings: "Luka" and "Tom's Diner". The latter was originally an a cappella version on Vega's album, which was then remade in 1990 as a dance track produced by the British dance production team DNA.

Retrospectacle – The Supertramp Anthology, also known as Gold in the U.S., is the first comprehensive compilation album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in October 2005.

2003 год подарил нам альбом такой же Stratovarius, каким он был еще в прошлом веке, начиная с "Episode" и кончая "Infinite". Один продавец в музыкальном магазине сказал: "Они все ПРИНЦИПИАЛЬНО отличаться не могут". И действительно. Звучание осталось таким же, почти все музыкальные обороты тоже – в общем, кардинально новых решений ребята не находили. А может быть, и не надо? (Лично меня такой Stratovarius с красивым, мощным голосом Timo Kotipelto и виртуозной игрой Tolkki и Johansson-а вполне устраивает). В общем, первое впечатление было двоякое: с одной стороны – банальное "повторение пройденного", с другой стороны – техничный, красивый power metal опус, который с удовольствием слушаешь снова и снова. Можно отметить несколько вещей. Самая первая, "Eagleheart" – среднетемповая композиция, торжественно-заводная, оставила ощущение этакого "дежа вю" ("где-то-я-уже-это-слышал"... Где? Да ведь "Hunting High And Low" же!!!) Красивая и оригинальная "Fantasia", классический Stratovarius-"быстрячок" "Learning To Fly" – все эти песни укрепили положительное, в общем-то, впечатление от альбома. А вот инструменталка – "Stratofortress" – оказалась скучноватой. Следующие за ней первые секунды восьмого трека... ух, я тоже круто испугался. Нет, господа, это не дописка в виде Nightwish. Это заглавная композиция – "Elements". Ей пять баллов за красоту и эмоциональность. А всему диску – четверка (можно с плюсом или с минусом, но это уж кому как...) К прослушиванию рекомендуется всем поклонникам "самовариуса" и хорошего пауэр-металла.

Wonderful music by a brilliant artist, I have yet to be disappointed by anything this amazing artist has given us, an amazing musician.
