La Nouba is a Cirque du Soleil show in residence in a custom-built, freestanding theater at Downtown Disney's West Side at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It is a contemporary circus performance featuring acrobats, gymnasts, and other skilled performers. The show's creation was directed by Franco Dragone, who also directed many of Cirque du Soleil's earlier shows. Its title derives from the French phrase faire la nouba, meaning "to party" or "to live it up".

The Clyde Valley Stompers were the quintessence of the 1960’s European traditional jazz movement. They achieved chart success and world acclaim during this period alongside contemporaries Chris Barber, Humphrey Lyttelton, Acker Bilk and Kenny Ball. The Clyde Valley Stompers turned professional in 1956 led by trombonist Ian Menzies after founding member Jim McHarg emigrated to Canada. They subsequently recorded with the iconic ‘Decca’ label and during the next five years took part in a series of tours with influential jazz artistes from wider afield including Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet and Kid Oliver’s Original Creole Band.

For years, if you wanted a comprehensive Chicago hits collection, your choices were slim. 1975's single-disc/eleven-track collection, Greatest Hits (Chicago IX) remained your best bet, but it only included tracks from the group's beginning to the mid-'70s (without question their best years). On the other hand, if it was Chicago's power ballad direction of the '80s you were after, your only choice was 1989's Greatest Hits: 1982-1989.

Chicago XIV is the twelfth studio album by the American band Chicago, released in 1980. Recorded at a time of waning interest in the band, Chicago XIV remains one of Chicago's poorest selling albums and was a commercial flop. It is also notable for being their last studio album with Columbia Records.

Chicago X is the eighth studio album, and tenth album overall, by the American band Chicago and was released on June 14, 1976. The album is notable for its soulfulness, and it ended up being a turning point in the band's career thanks to one song.

Five Guys Walk into a Bar... is a comprehensive four-disc retrospective of the British rock group Faces released in 2004, collecting sixty-seven tracks from among the group's four studio albums, assorted rare single A and B-sides, BBC sessions, rehearsal tapes and one track from a promotional flexi-disc, "Dishevelment Blues" - a deliberately-sloppy studio romp captured during the sessions for their Ooh La La album, which was never actually intended for official release.

This Woman's Work: Anthology 1978–1990 is a compilation box set by the British singer Kate Bush. Released in 1990 on CD, vinyl and cassette; it comprises her six studio albums to that point together with two additional albums of B-sides, rarities and remixes. The box set was re-released, on CD only, in 1998 in different packaging. It was not released in the US mainly due to The Sensual World being released there by Columbia Records.
The two rarities discs are entitled This Woman's Work: Volume One and This Woman's Work: Volume Two (in the vinyl edition the twenty-nine tracks are spread over three LP's), and have never been released as albums separately from the box set.

ZZ Top - The Studio Albums 1970 - 1990 is a 10 CD boxset of the band's classic studio albums from their Warner Bros. years. This compact, clamshell boxset features each album in a mini, vinyl replica card sleeve with original artwork, including replicated original gatefold sleeves for Tres Hombres and Tejas. Most importantly the original audio tape versions will finally be available, for the first time, on CD for three of the albums: First Album, Rio Grande Mud, and Tejas, and the original masters for Tres Hombres and Fandango will also be included. Much discussion has been had on the quality of the mixes released on CD in the 1980s but now the original audio will be available once and for all in an amazing boxset!

Чарльз Ха́рдин Хо́лли (англ. Charles Hardin Holley), известный как Ба́дди Хо́лли (англ. Buddy Holly; - американский певец и автор песен, один из первопроходцев рок-н-ролла. Несмотря на то, что его успех продолжался всего полтора года (будучи лишь 22-летним он погиб в авиакатастрофе), критик Брюс Эдер описал его личность как «самую влиятельную созидательную силу в раннем рок-н-ролле».

Given his versatility -- skipping from opera to art song, and even Broadway show tunes with an enviable ease -- Bryn Terfel is the perfect candidate to pull off what so many operatic stars try without success: a musically satisfying crossover album. Unfortunately, this isn't it. The opening "Toréador" from Carmen is over-sung and lacks style; the folk songs, like "Danny Boy" and "Shenandoah," and even the Welsh "Bugeilo'r Gwenith Gwyn" are shapeless and bombastic; and in general, these favorites are sorely missing the expressive imagination, soul, and vocal charisma that made Terfel such a star.

Поглощающая разум работа Abigor. Третий полноформатный альбом - уже не чистый блэк, но еще не полностью симфо-блэк, а что-то промежуточное. Готовые порвать перепонки ударные, техничные гитары, душераздирающий крик Силениуса и в то же время - акустика, шумовые эффекты, женский вокал, долгие соло партии от блэка и до чистого симфо-звучания. На альбоме, по сравнению с предыдущими работами, множество находок: использование чистого женского вокала, как, например, в "The Dark Kiss", и настоящий блэк-медляк "Dornen", заканчивающийся драйвовым соло, и использование колоколов в "I Face The Eternal Winter". Но самое примечательное в этом альбоме - это крышесносящие ударные в исполнении Томаса Танненбергера, которые ничуть не уступают разнообразием партий другим инструментам и играют чуть ли не главную роль в альбоме.

Первые четыре альбома Фольи можно назвать экспериментальными, в них певец ещё только ищет себя. К своему пятому альбому Che ne sai («Что ты об этом знаешь», 1979) певец уже начинает со своим стилем, но окончательное его становление приходится уже на начало 1980-х годов.
