Cure for Pain was the second album released by alternative rock band Morphine through Rykodisc in 1993. The tracks "Sheila" and "In Spite of Me" were prominently featured on the soundtrack of the 1994 independent film Spanking the Monkey. The video for "Thursday" also appeared on an episode of Beavis and Butt-head. The track "Buena" also appears in the first season of The Sopranos and in the Daria episode "The Teachings of Don Jake".

Legion's sixth release "Tempest" is their most ambitious yet. Both heavy and melodic, Legion bring to mind the sound of Winger, Dokken, Scorpions, and even Foreigner and Boston. Guitarist and producer Vince O'Regan has created layers upon layers of guitar tracks with each one occupying its own space in the sonic spectrum. His production alone challenges the A-list mentors Lang and Baker. Phil Vincent's keen ear for melody is the yang to O'Regan's ying, creating timeless melodies, aggressive lyrical passages, and massive layered vocals, much like Queen in their heyday.

A doulbe CD is inclouded in the Deluxe Boxsets, it's mainly the same as the concert film audio track. However, announcements are cut out beside of those before Biko. Therefore the first track Daddys Long Legs begins without applause, nor an introduction. It’s a hard start for a live album. Acclaims are again deleted then and the transition to Come Talk To Me is tough once more. Some similar situation happens still at the end of In Your Eyes, there again applause has been deleted so that The Tower That Ate People begins with the cut of a long lasting note that sounds really weird. Otherwise there is no further surprise compared to the film, and all in all it’s a well done live album of a successful tour with an amazing line-up.

Sunday 31st March 1974 is a landmark date in the history of rock music. It is now celebrated in the multi format release of a rare recording made at legendary London venue The Rainbow, of a concert by a then up-and-coming band called Queen. Few who turned up for that iconic performance could have predicted they would go on to become arguably the world’s best and most successful rock group, although many more may have suspected it after this stunning show.
Among the unique material contained in this release are over a dozen tracks never previously released on any official Queen live album.
Now, a remarkable 40 years later, Queen: Live at the Rainbow ’74 has finally surfaced from the archives, providing an invaluable record of emerging superstars demonstrating their talent.

Второй альбом арт-рокового проекта Алана Парсонса продолжил концептуальную традицию дебютника. На этот раз талантливый звукорежиссер и композитор взялся за фантастические рассказы Айзека Азимова. Много опасностей таит создание искусственного интеллекта, который может стать угрозой для интеллекта природного, тем более если роботы вдруг осознают, что в них человечности даже больше. Парсонс стал первым музыкантом, не являвшимся ни певцом, ни мультиинструменталистом, а всего лишь талантливым технарем, который смог обратить внимание слушателей на такие интересные проблемы, которые им в голову даже не приходили. Главным соавтором самых интересных пластинок The Alan Parsons Project стал Эрик Вульфсон – он сочинял все тексты, а также немалую часть музыки.

Eye in the Sky is the sixth album by the British rock band The Alan Parsons Project, released in 1982. It was recorded in London's Abbey Road Studios.
Songs on this album are in a number of different styles, from cool and funky to lyrical and heavily orchestrated. The Hipgnosis-designed sleeve was green with an image of the Eye of Horus, which was gold-foil stamped for early pressings of the LP. It is variously reported as their best-selling album, and was the last Platinum record from the band (joining I Robot and The Turn of a Friendly Card).

Gemini Suite Live is a recording of Jon Lord's classical/rock piece Gemini Suite featuring the original Mark II band lineup of Deep Purple, recorded live during this one and only live performance in 1970. A follow up to their "Concerto" Project, it featured five movements for the individual members of the band, including a guitar piece from Blackmore.

American/English is Acoustic Alchemy's fourth album release on the Higher Octave Music label, and contains eleven tracks, making it also their shortest album with the label to date.
The album was preceded by single "Say Yeah" for smooth jazz radio in the USA, an offering in a hip-hop style, remarked by some to be similar in style to British urban singer-songwriter Craig David. Experimental attributes include digital processing on Carmichael's guitar, which 'cut off' the ends of each note, and scat style vocals from Gilderdale toward the end of the track.

AArt is the eleventh album to be released by smooth jazz band Acoustic Alchemy. It contains more tracks than any other studio recording by the band, with fourteen.
Continuing on from the radical changes enforced by The Beautiful Game, AArt follows precedent with another varied mix of styles and genres, and even calls upon saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa, formerly of The Rippingtons, to share the lead on one track, "AArt Attack".

Good is the first album recorded by the Boston based alternative rock trio Morphine. It was originally released in 1992 on the Accurate label, and then re-released by Rykodisc in 1993.

Титульная песня диска - «Play the Game» - часто звучала на концертах, а «Another One Bites the Dust» - почти постоянно. Фредди Меркьюри вообще очень нравилась эта песня, как и весь альбом, который они с Джоном Диконом считали лучшим. Песня «Crazy Little Thing Called Love», придуманная Меркьюри в ванной, стала единственной, которую он исполнял на гитаре. На концерте на Уэмбли, в 1986 году, выходя на сцену с гитарой, он сказал: «Вы все, конечно же, знаете, что я могу сыграть на этой чёртовой гитаре. Правда, мне иногда кажется, что это гитара играет на мне!»

Первая известность, равно как и коммерческий успех, пришла к группе именно с этой пластинкой, а песня «Killer Queen» стала их первым хитом, попавшим в Топ-20 США, достигнув 12-го места. Сам альбом также достиг 12-й позиции в чартах 1975 года.
«Brighton Rock» на сцене превратилась в соло-импровизацию Брайана Мэя. Текст для «Stone Cold Crazy» был написан Меркьюри ещё до создания Queen, но песня вышла лишь на данном, третьем альбоме.
Процесс подготовки альбома был осложнён болезнью Мэя, который заразился гепатитом. Это обнаружилось во время американского турне 1973 года, которое пришлось отменить: Брайану прописали шестимесячный постельный режим. Концертный тур проходил с 30 октября 1974 года по 1 мая 1975 года, всего было сыграно 76 концертов.
