De-Phazz's third album is another off-color mixture of Heidelberg-based lounge jazz, and its lazy breakbeats, trip-hop strings, and idly soulful singers are the least willfully ironic out there. The Latin touches are sprawling yet snug, like Beatless or Fila Brazillia by way of Air. Even better are the reggae-jazz experiments that pop out from time to time, as if to remind you that chillout collectives, even German ones, still know how to be sobered and eclectic. But it also can't seem to get around the idea that comedic late-night music is a tough, rubber-nosed beast to tame. Like Bent on a bad day, "Heartfixer" is an unfortunately upbeat clod-rock take on downtempo cheek, and "Trash Box" is even worse. Nothing groundbreaking, all said, just braver than Zero 7.

Одной из причин высокого качества новой работы мне видятся кадровые перестановки в коллективе. Перед выпуском “Endgame ” Мастейн избавился от гитариста-середняка Дровера – в группу пришел опытный Крис Бродерик, его искрометные партии весьма позитивно сказались на гитарных делах того альбома. Ну а “Th1rt3en” записывался уже с Дэйвом Эллефсоном на басу, который был в группе с Мастейном с самого основания Megadeth в 1983 вплоть до роспуска в 2002 году. Этот талантливый музыкант, как мне кажется, не мог не повлиять на атмосферу нового материала.

Альбом уникален. Притом по нескольким причинам. Во-первых, этот альбом записан воссоединенной группой, вокалист и автор песен Роб Хэлфорд вернулся в родные пенаты. Во-вторых, этот альбом квинтэссенция всех прошлых альбомов группы. Гитары сильны как никогда, вокал все еще может многое несмотря на возраст. Качество записи просто идеально. Возвращение по полной программе. В каждой песне есть отсылка к прошлому творчеству группы. Отсылка в виде названия песни или альбома, напоминание о том времени и так сказать дополнение пропущенных моментов.

Просто отличный заловый альбом, настолько качественно сделаный, что не уступит даже япоснким лайвам, вошли в него практически все вещи из всех альбомов, и некоторые сделаны просто божественно. Альбом состоит из трех дисков, композиции подобраны крайне удачно, третий диск полностью отведен под "сериалы", т.е. под длинные концептуальные композиции типа Dante Inferno. Играют в копейку, плюс разные заловые изыски для фанатов, Барлоу поет на все 100 %, хоть бы раз киксанул - все-таки столько времени орать и по сцене бегать нехилую дыхалку иметь нужно (хоть и записывался концерт в два приема). Греки - отличная публика и очень много подпевают группе, временами даже заглушая ее.

Oceans of Fantasy is the fourth studio album by Boney M. Released in September 1979, Oceans Of Fantasy became the second Boney M. album to top the UK charts and features hits El Lute / Gotta Go Home and I'm Born Again / Bahama Mama.
The album had been preceded in the spring of 1979 by the single "Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday" (based on American folksong Polly Wolly Doodle), one of the band's biggest hits. This was not included on Oceans of Fantasy but the B-side, "Ribbons of Blue" was, albeit in a heavily edited form. The original length of the track is 4:02 and songs like "Gotta Go Home" and "Bahama Mama" were also longer on 7" than on the actual album. As with the group's previous album, Nightflight to Venus, the original Hansa Records pressings of the album also included a range of different edits of certain tracks.

X (pronounced ten) is the eighth studio album by English rock band Def Leppard, released on 30 July 2002 by Island Records in the US and sister label Mercury worldwide. Much like 1996's Slang, it featured another departure from their signature sound by moving into the pop genre. The album charted at No. 11 on The Billboard 200 and No. 14 on the UK Albums Chart. Most of the album was produced by Pete Woodroffe and the band, with remaining tracks produced by either Marti Frederiksen or Per Aldeheim and Andreas Carlsson.

Espresso Logic is the fourteenth studio album by Chris Rea, released in 1993. The US edition of the album has a significantly different track listing than other editions, as it also features songs from Rea's previous album, God's Great Banana Skin (not released in the US), along with "If You Were Me", a track recorded with Elton John for his 1993 Duets release.

Stripped is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Christina Aguilera, released on October 25, 2002 by RCA Records. Looking to transition from the teen pop styles of her self-titled debut album (1999), Aguilera took creative control over her next album project, both musically and lyrically. She also changed her public image and established her new alter ego, "Xtina". Musically, its music incorporates pop and R&B with influences from many different genres, including soul, metal, rock, hip hop, and Latin. Lyrically, most of the songs from the album discuss the theme of self-respect, while a few other songs talk about sex and feminism. As executive producer, Aguilera enlisted many new collaborators for the album.

Changesbowie is a compilation album by David Bowie, released in 1990 in the United States by Rykodisc and by EMI in the UK as part of Rykodisc's Bowie remastering program, to replace the deleted RCA Records compilations Changesonebowie and Changestwobowie.

Now What?! is the 19th studio album by English rock band Deep Purple. It was released on 26 April 2013 and produced by Bob Ezrin. A dedicated official web site was also created by the band to post updates about the album.

Magica is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Dio. A concept album, it was produced by frontman Ronnie James Dio and released on March 21, 2000, through Spitfire Records.
The album marks the return of guitarist Craig Goldy, who also has performed on Dio's album Dream Evil and in the later release Master of the Moon. Magica also features Jimmy Bain on bass and Simon Wright on drums. The album was originally planned to be the first part of a trilogy of concept albums. Shortly before beginning his tour with Heaven & Hell, Dio announced his intention to start the Magica II & III album after the tour's end, but he died shortly after of stomach cancer on May 16, 2010. The only song released from Magica II & III was titled "Electra".
