Amarantine is the sixth studio album by Irish singer-songwriter and musician Enya, released on 21 November 2005 by Warner Bros. Records. Following the release of her 2002 compilation box set Only Time – The Collection, Enya took a short break before she started work on a new album in September 2003, her first since A Day Without Rain (2000). Amarantine was recorded in Ireland with her longtime recording partners, arranger and producer Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan. It is Enya's first album not to include a song in Irish and her first sung in Japanese and Loxian, a fictional language created by Roma.

Blue is the first full-length album from Swiss band Double. In addition to containing updated versions of two of the band's earlier singles ("Woman of the World" and "Rangoon Moon"), the album included the international smash hit, "The Captain of Her Heart", a plaintive, atmospheric, piano-led ballad which was an immediate success throughout Europe (and eventually, the U.S.) upon its 1986 single release. Follow-up singles "Your Prayer Takes Me Off" and "Tomorrow" were less successful.

SITD, stylised [:SITD:], is a German EBM and industrial band founded in 1996 by Carsten Jacek and Thorsten Lau as Shadows in the Dark.

Das Album beinhaltet 12 Titel, welche zum größten Teil rein Instrumental-jedoch teilweise mit Vocaleinlagen arrrangiert sind. Johannes Huppertz aka Newton versteht das Album als eine Reise in die "grosse weite Welt" jedoch verliert er nie die Nähe zu seinen inneren Welten, die voller Emotionalität, Spontanität, Ideen und Veränderungen besteht. Die Musik erweckt Assoziationen,
Bilder und bildet Freiraum für die Phantasie des Hörers. Newton's Titel klingen teilweise wie gesungene Poptitel die man im Radio hört, ohne dass ein Stimme zu hören ist. Das kommt nicht zuletzt daher, weil Johannes Huppertz "von Haus aus" ein traditioneller Songwriter ist.
Newton versteht sein Album als ständigen Fluß von Station zu Station Stadt zu Stadt, wobei jeder einzelne Titel einen kurzen Aufenthaltsort darstellt.
