What can be said about Cheech and Chong.They were one of the best comedy teams of the 70's, and this album was one of their best! Between SISTER MARY ELEPHANT and the TELEVISION MEDLY, I still laugh at those old 30 year old jokes. personally I think "LET'S MAKE A DOPE DEAL" rates up there with Abbott and Costello's "Whose on First."

MIA. originally formed in 1997 when TV host Sarah Kuttner introduced schoolmates Mieze and Andreas Ross (who later changed his name to Andy Penn) to Robert Schütze and Ingo Puls. They took on Hannes Schulze as drummer and one year later the band, then called Me in Affairs signed a contract with independent music label R.O.T. - Respect or Tolerate. They soon abbreviated their band name to MIA., but now claim the letters do no longer stand just for Me in Affairs, but also for things like "Musik ist Alles" ("Music is everything") and that there is no such thing as a "correct" translation of their name.
Their third album Zirkus was released on July 21, 2006. It entered and peaked the German album charts at #2, making it a surprise hit for the band and MIA.'s most successful album so far. The first single from the album, "Tanz der Moleküle" had previously entered the charts at #19, making it the group's most successful single.

This is something that cannot be crammed into frameworks of a particular genre. it's like watching the sun coming up above the quiet sea in the morning - sometimes it's jazzy and soft, sometimes it's dimmed with the clouds and unordinary in its blurness. But sometimes it's hot and bouncy promising the following day to be full of smiles, rhythm and new experience.

The Man from Utopia is a 1983 album by Frank Zappa. It is a more song-driven, and less conceptual work than many others in Zappa's oeuvre. The album is named after a 1950s song, written by Donald and Doris Woods, which Zappa covers as part of "The Man from Utopia Meets Mary Lou".

Самый горячий экспортный товар из Австралии после AC/DC, т.е. настоящий тяжелый рок-н-ролл австралийского разлива. Основаны в 1976… а в начале 80-х их называли "самой громкой группой со времен Led Zeppelin…"

Ну что сказать?… Сингл 'Paid In Full', содержащий одноименную композицию с альбома, занял 1 место в национальном финском хит-параде. И немудрено… так как над его созданием работала тьма народа…

There just hasn't been an opera of this intelligence or this sophistication written anywhere in the last half-century. Adams and Goodman make a thrilling and effective equation between what opera and political summits both do in their different ways: make the quotidian seem "larger than life" (to quote Nixon from his opening aria). There's much to say about the technical sophistication of the work: the dense and rewarding allusiveness of Goodman's beautiful libretto, for example, or the wonderful ways in which Adams uses the repetitiveness of the minimalist mode for psychological purposes (such as Nixon's nervousness, Pat's near-hysteria, and Madame Mao's violent dogmatism). This production is quite fine, and enjoys a definitive Nixon in the person of James Maddalena, who makes the character by turns triumphant, clumsy, paranoid, tender, and poignant―just as we remember the real Richard Nixon. There are few more beautifully pillowy baritones than Sanford Sylvan, and he found the part of his career in Chou En-lai, the subtle and valiant Chinese premier: Chou's splendid first-act aria "Ladies and Gentlemen, Comrades and Friends" is the emotional heart of the opera, and Sylvan does it full justice. Carolann Page is a moving and heroic Pat Nixon, and does a superlative job with Pat's big scene in the second act (the most enigmatic but also touching part of the entire opera―in part because it moves towards the margins of the masculine political world elsewhere portrayed).

Pēteris Vasks (b. 1946) is perhaps the most influential composer to emerge from the former Soviet Bloc after Arvo Pärt, Alfred Schnittke, Valentin Silvestrov, Sofia Gubaidulina , Edison Denisov and Giya Kancheli. Need I say more?
