After his stint with Jethro Tull and as the wave of new romantic pop groups were taking control of the airwaves, Eddie Jobson entered the studio to record his first solo album, known as Zinc, although it was meant to be titled "The Green Album" and billed to the band name "Zinc" -- the record company messed things up quite a bit. This is an honest effort of when-prog rock-meets-synth pop. The songs are often better than Drama-era Yes and turn-of-the-'80s FM or Saga. In terms of writing and production, it sounds like Jobson is emulating Rupert Hine, whose art-pop gem Immunity came out two years before Zinc.

Crazy Lixx are another Swedish sleaze revivalist group, and sound exactly like you would expect them to. Take a base of Skid Row, add some Mötley Crüe attitude, a pinch of Europe’s pop-sheen and Def Leppard’s penchant for an anthemic chorus, package it in a shiny modern production job, then give it a ridiculous name and silly hairdo. The album starts as it means to go on with “Hell Raising Women:” simple, catchy hooks matching simple, catchy lyrics – nothing new to hear, but fun all the same.

Even in the Quietest Moments… is the fifth album by progressive rock band Supertramp, released in April 1977.
The album was recorded mainly at Caribou Ranch Studios in Colorado with overdubs, vocals and mixing completed at The Record Plant in Los Angeles and was Supertramp's first album to use engineer Peter Henderson, who would work with the band for their next three albums as well.

Finally! As of 2014, Lick My Decals Off, Baby, The Spotlight Kid, and Clear Spot had needed a proper remastering treatment for quite some time when Rhino came to the rescue, remastering all three in one fell swoop as Sun Zoom Spark: 1970 to 1972. As if that weren't enough for fans, they added an entire bonus disc of outtakes and alternates as well. The albums themselves are fairly different from each other. Lick My Decals followed directly after Trout Mask Replica and is the closest there is to Trout Mask's sonic assault.

Jerusalem was formed in the early 70's and released in 1972 a self-titled album on the infamous Deram label which was produced by Ian Gillan. They gigged all over Europe supporting Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Status Quo before disbanding due to "musical differences". The band reformed again in 2008 releasing their second album "Escalator" to much acclaim.
Now for their third album with original members Lynden Williams and Bob Cooke they are joined by the cream of the Prog Rock crop Geoff Downes (ASIA,YES) and Nick D'Virgilio (Tears For Fears, Spocks Beard) and they have produced a stunning brand new Prog Rock album.

The Infinite Wonders Of Creation - третий сольный альбом итальянского гитариста-виртуоза Луки Турилли.
Альбом демонстрирует постепенный отход Луки от первоначального варианта «эпического звучания» - гитарные риффы стали намного проще, основную роль теперь играют клавишные. Если прибавить к этому сильный вокал Бриджит Фогль, то получается, что новый альбом имеет совсем мало общего с предыдущими работами маэстро.

The Ancient Forest Of Elves - CD-сингл Луки Турилли с его первого сольного альбома Kings Of The Nordic Twilight, вышедшего в том же году. Помимо одноименной песни с альбома, данный релиз включает версию песни Warrior’s Pride, в которую добавлен женский вокал, а также уникальную, нигде более не издававшуюся композицию Knight Of Immortal Fire.

Demonheart - CD-сингл итальянского гитариста-виртуоза Луки Турилли с его второго сольного альбома Prophet Of The Last Eclipse. Помимо уникального трека Black Realms' Majesty, кавера на группу Helloween I’m Alive и стандартной версии песни Demonheart сингл включает в себя две сокращенные, уменьшенные более чем в два раза «радио-версии» заглавных песен двух предыдущих альбомов - Kings Of The Nordic Twilight и Prophet Of The Last Eclipse.

Power of the DragonFlame - пятый номерной альбом итальянской группы Rhapsody. Альбом завершает пятиальбомный сюжетный цикл Emerald Sword Saga, описывая развязку событий. С музыкальной точки зрения альбом был самой «тяжёлой» работой группы, демонстрируя некоторое влияние Manowar.

Из-за того, что Мортен Веланд, гитарист, гроулинг-вокалист и основной автор композиций и текстов покинул группу, основав свой проект Sirenia, этот альбом стал первым совместным творением всего коллектива группы. Звучание альбома получилось более разноплановым, чем на предыдущих альбомах. Исполнение композиций не позволяет отнести альбом к дум-металу, он гораздо ближе по звучанию к симфо-металу с использованием традиционного для группы сочетания высокого женского вокала с мужским чистым вокалом и гроулингом. Партии гроулинг-вокала на этом альбоме были исполнены Ронни Торсеном, участником группы Trail of Tears.

Genesis is the seventh full-length album by the Greek black metal band Rotting Christ. The release showed some return to the group's more aggressive early days as a black metal band, featuring fast, percussive tempos and raw vocals, as well as some gothic and doom elements from middle releases. It was produced by Andy Classen in Germany at the Stage-One-Studio, also used by Krisiun, Belphegor and Callenish Circle.

Of Breath and Bone is Be’lakor’s third full length album, and was recorded between the months of December 2011 & February 2012.
Recorded and engineered by Warren Hammond at Pennydrop Audio, Melbourne.
Mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, Sweden, in March 2012.
All music and lyrics written by Be’lakor. Produced by Be’lakor.

Texas Flood is the debut album of American blues rock band Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, released on June 13, 1983 by Epic Records.

Produced by the band and recording engineer Richard Mullen, it was recorded in only three days at Jackson Browne's personal recording studio in Los Angeles.
