The History Mix Volume 1 is the sixth album by British pop band Godley & Creme. The album was a remix of songs spanning the career of Godley & Creme and their earlier bands, 10cc, Doctor Father and Hotlegs.

L is the second album by Godley & Creme. It was released in 1978. Its 34-minute running time was a stark contrast with that of the ill-received triple concept album Consequences (1977). Despite this, the album was not received well commercially.
The songs contained much variation and artistry, dissonances, complex time signatures and melodies, poetic lyrics, and some echoes from Frank Zappa's Over-Nite Sensation (1973). The album was played almost completely by Godley and Creme, except for saxophones, and a brief vocal cameo by Paul Gambaccini.
The lyrics retained the satirical stance of some 10cc material with songs such as "This Sporting Life" and "Art School Canteen", which deal with suicide and art school angst.

City of Fear is the fourth album by FM, a progressive rock group from Toronto, Canada, released in 1980 on Passport Records and distributed in Canada by Capitol Records, catalogue number PB-2028, and in the USA on Passport distributed by Jem Records, catalogue number PB-6004. It was produced by Larry Fast who was notable for his Synergy series of electronic music albums. A remastered edition was released by Esoteric Records (ECLEC2383) on March 25, 2013.

Direct to Disc is the second album by FM, a progressive rock group from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, recorded late 1977 and released May 1978. It was also issued under the title Head Room. It was the first FM album to feature Ben Mink, who replaced founding member Nash the Slash on electric violin and electric mandolin, instruments which Nash also played.

Surveillance is the third album by FM, a progressive rock group from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, released on Passport Records in summer 1979, the first to be "widely issued." It has been re-released for the first time in CD format on Esoteric Records in March 2013.

Black Noise is the debut studio album by Canadian progressive rock group FM. Released in a limited edition by CBC in 1977, it didn't receive widespread release until the following year. In 1978 GRT/Passport Records did a full release of the album and it shot up the Canadian record charts fueled by the hit single "Phasors on Stun". The B-side was the instrumental song "Slaughter in Robot Village". A second single was released, "Journey", with the B-side, "Hours". It didn't sell as well, and barely charted.
In 2015, Rolling Stone released its list of 50 of the Greatest Progressive Rock Albums of All Time, and Black Noise made the list at number forty eight (#48).

Synchronicity - пятый и последний студийный альбом британской группы The Police, самый успешный в их карьере релиз. В альбом, вышедший 1 июня 1983 года на студии A&M Records, вошли такие известные песни, как «Every Breath You Take», «Wrapped Around Your Finger», «King of Pain» и «Synchronicity II». Альбом вошёл в список 500 величайших альбомов всех времён по версии журнала Rolling Stone.

Reggatta de Blanc is the second album by The Police, released in 1979. It features the band's first two UK #1 hits: "Message in a Bottle" and "Walking on the Moon". It was their second album to bear a foreign language title after the band's 1978 debut album Outlandos d'Amour. Reggatta de Blanc proved both more popular and successful than its predecessor. The title track earned the band their first Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 1980.

Альбом достиг 5 строчки в чарте США и стал №1 в хит-парадах Великобритании и Австралии, чему поспособствовал успех синглов «Don’t Stand So Close to Me» и «De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da». Пластинка получила восторженные отзывы музыкальной прессы (среди прочих — Rolling Stone и Q), но всё же остальные четыре альбома группы были встречены лучше, и Zenyattà Mondatta стала единственной работой The Police которая не попала в список «500 величайших альбомов всех времён по версии журнала Rolling Stone».

Synchronicity is the fifth and final studio album by the Police, released in the United Kingdom on 17 June 1983.[2] The band's most successful release, the album includes the hit singles "Every Breath You Take", "King of Pain", "Wrapped Around Your Finger", and "Synchronicity II". The album's title and much of the material for the songs were inspired by Arthur Koestler's The Roots of Coincidence. At the 1984 Grammy Awards the album was nominated for a total of five awards including Album of the Year and won three. At the time of its release and following its tour the Police were hailed as the "Biggest Band in the World".

Second Helping is the second studio album by Lynyrd Skynyrd, released April 15, 1974. It featured the band's biggest hit single, "Sweet Home Alabama," an answer song to Neil Young's "Alabama" and "Southern Man".[2] The song reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in August 1974. This L.P. was the last to feature Bob Burns on drums.
The album reached #12 on the Billboard album charts. It was certified Gold on September 20, 1974, Platinum and 2x Platinum on July 21, 1987 by the RIAA.

Mit ihrem dritten Album „Night Of Passion“ waren die vier Jungs von MAD MAX anno 1987 bereit, die USA zu überfallen und dort gehörig Rabatz zu machen. Es war alles perfekt: ein tolles Album im Gepäck, die Zeitpunkt gut gewählt, sogar die Tournee war schon in trockenen Tüchern. Und nach einem Album wie „Stormchild“, das zwar einen Hit wie „Lonley Is The Hunter“ enthielt, aber insgesamt etwas schwächelte, hatte man sich enorm gesteigert und ein Meisterwerk abgeliefert. Warum es trotzdem nicht klappte, kann wohl keiner so richtig nachvollziehen. In den Geschichtsbüchern des Rock´n Roll steht auf jeden Fall, dass sich die Band nach diesem Disaster frustriert aufgelöst hat und erst 2006 zum Album „Night Of White Rock“ wieder in Originalbesetzung mit Michael Voss (g.,v.), Jürgen Breforth (g.), Roland Bergmann (b.) und Axel Kruse (d.) zusammenkam. Aber nach dem 2007er Opus „White Sands“ war schon wieder Schluß damit, denn Drummer Axel Kruse konzentrierte sich auf JADED HEART und stieg erneut aus. 25 Jahre nach „Night Of Passion“ hat sich das Ur-Line Up wieder zusammengefunden, um dort anzuknüpfen, wo sie damals aufgehört hatten. Und obwohl der Titel bewusst so gewählt wurde, um einen Zusammenhang zu damals herzustellen, haben die Alben musikalisch nicht allzuviel gemein. Allerdings gibt es doch ein paar Gemeinsamkeiten, denn das neue Album tönt verdammt kernig aus den Boxen und strotzt nur so vor Spielfreude. Gute Songs haben die Jungs schon immer abgeliefert, aber in jüngerer Vergangenheit haben MAD MAX öfter mal das „Mad“ im Bandnamen vergessen und eher zahmen Hardrock gespielt.
