Communiqué was recorded from 28 November to 12 December 1978 at Compass Point Studios in Nassau. The album was produced by Barry Beckett and Jerry Wexler, veteran producers from Muscle Shoals Sound Studio who made legendary recordings with Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, the Staple Singers, The Rolling Stones, Traffic, Elton John, Boz Scaggs, Willie Nelson, and Paul Simon.

The album won two Grammy Awards in 1986, and also won Best British Album at the 1987 Brit Awards. Q magazine placed the album at number 51 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.

Записывать диск начали ещё в феврале 1967, но поскольку Мик Джаггер и Кит Ричардс в разное время попадали в тюрьму за употребление наркотиков (в частности, ЛСД), процесс был завершён к ноябрю. Менялось и название. Первое название было — Cosmic Christmas, затем Her Satanic Majesty Requests And Requires, потом пришли к окончательному названию. Единственный альбом группы, где основной жанр — психоделический рок. Считается, что он был выпущен группой в качестве «ответа» на известный альбом Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Let It Bleed - восьмой студийный альбом The Rolling Stones, изданный в декабре 1969 года фирмами Decca Records (Великобритания) и London Records (США). Стал последним альбомом коллектива, в записи которого принял участие Брайан Джонс.

Диск выдержан в классическом для группы ритм-н-блюзовом стиле, однако он стал более «экспериментальным», нежели его предшественники; так, в ряде песен использованы такие нестандартные для рок-музыки инструменты, как ситар, гармонь и маримба (африканский ксилофон). Считается, что запись Aftermath стала одной из важнейших вех в творчестве коллектива.

"Funkytown" is a song by American band Lipps Inc., which appears on their 1979 debut album, Mouth to Mouth. It was released as a single in March 1980. Written by Steven Greenberg, the song expresses the singer's pining for a metaphorical place that will "keep me movin', keep me groovin' with some energy".

Alchemy: Dire Straits Live — дебютный концертный альбом британской рок-группы Dire Straits, выпущен 14 марта 1984 года. Пластинка была записана во время двух шоу (22-23 июля, 1983 года) в лондонском Hammersmith Odeon, группа исполнила свои наиболее известные и любимые фанатами хиты, многие композиции исполнялись с переработанной аранжировкой и содержали импровизационные сегменты. На обложке альбома изображена картина Бретта Уайтли.

Альбом записан в Санта-Барбаре и Нью-Йорке; как и предыдущая пластинка Playing the Angel (2005), Sounds of the Universe спродюсирован Беном Хиллером. В записи использовано большое количество аналоговых синтезаторов, многие из которых приобретались Мартином Гором на eBay. Некоторые представляют собой настоящие раритеты. Во время студийных сессий группа регулярно публиковала на своём официальном сайте краткие видео-отчёты о проделанной работе, снятые Эндрю Флетчером.

“City of Broken Dreams” is the ECM leader debut of the prodigiously gifted Italian pianist Giovanni Guidi. Much of the considerable charm of City of Broken Dreams is evidenced by the mastery of musical suggestion this trio commands. They make use of many different forms of music in their approach to jazz, if merely to use their colors, dynamics, and intonations to create something other. This a piano trio album that has plenty and gracefully relies on subtlety to express it.

While it may be tempting to simply call Dialectics a straight-ahead session, Kevin Sun's liner notes set the record straight: According to Sun, "neo-hard bop" is a more accurate term for this music. What's most important to note, however, is that the music is pretty irresistible, regardless of what you call it. Nowosad, Greene, Gardner, Bonness, and bassist Steve Kirby have a good thing going here. These men have real musical chemistry, not the fabricated camaraderie that comes with so many jazz releases today. While it will likely be difficult for Nowosad to keep this group going, here's to hoping that he does.

The Welsh-born singer Donna Lewis is one of those rare artists whose immense success on the pop radio charts disguises an exceptional and serious musicianship and breadth of repertoire. Lewis’ new album,Brand New Day, reveals the range of her artistry, and may surprise listeners who know her only for herpop hits “I Love You Always Forever,”“At The Beginning,” “I Could Be The One” and “Love Him.” Produced and arranged by Lewis’ longtime friend DavidTorn, the genre-busting composer and producer, Brand New Day is an intoxicating set of jazz-inflected covers and Lewis originals in which she is joined by the eminent progressive jazz musicians Ethan Iverson (piano), Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums).

Gloria Estefan's first U.S. Spanish-language album, Mi Tierra is one of her most satisfying, and a step above her English-language pop albums. Her voice is extremely well suited for the material, and the result is a breezy, sunny album with moments of melancholy and longing - in short, one of her most consistent albums to date. Additionally, some of the best-known and most well-respected Latin musicians were employed to further embellish the album.
