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.

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).

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.

Hasten Down the Wind is the Grammy Award-winning seventh studio album by singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt. Released in 1976, it became her third straight million-selling album. Ronstadt was the first female artist to accomplish this feat. The album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in 1977, her second of 13 Grammys. It represented a slight departure from 1974's Heart Like a Wheel and 1975's Prisoner in Disguise in that she chose to showcase new songwriters over the traditional country rock sound she had been producing up to that point. A more serious and poignant album than its predecessors, it won critical acclaim.

Planet P Project is a pseudonym used by American rock musician Tony Carey for his science-fiction themed, progressive rock/space rock music. Carey has released six albums under the Planet P Project name: Planet P (1983, later retitled Planet P Project), Pink World (1984), Go Out Dancing, Part I (1931) (2005), Go Out Dancing, Part II (Levittown) (2008), Go Out Dancing, Part III (Out in the Rain) (2009) and Steeltown (2013). Music videos for singles from the first albums received heavy to moderate airplay on MTV, when originally released. Pink World was originally a two-record set, released on bright-pink-colored vinyl.
Planet P's most well known singles were "Why Me?" (a sweeping, energetic romp about outer space and isolation), and the downbeat "Static". Go Out Dancing, Part I (1931) is the first of the trilogy, with part two titled Go Out Dancing, Part II (Levittown) and part three as Go Out Dancing, Part III (Out in the Rain).
The project's name was inspired from the fictional "Planet P" in Robert A. Heinlein's book Starship Troopers.

Procol's Ninth is the eighth studio album (ninth including Live) by Procol Harum, and was released in September 1975. Produced by songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Procol's Ninth featured a slightly different direction from the previous album, with a much more stark sound than Chris Thomas's more elaborate productions. According to an interview with guitarist Mick Grabham, conducted by Roland Clare for the 2009 reissue, Leiber and Stoller focused less on the production sound and more on "the structure of the songs". The band appeared on the cover of the album in a straightforward unassuming photograph, mirroring the sound of the album itself. The cover featured simulations of each band member's signature.
