  From Russia with Love is the 1963 soundtrack for the second James Bond film, From Russia With Love. This is the first series film with John Barry as the primary soundtrack composer. The soundtrack's original recordings are thought to be lost and did not appear when the Bond soundtrack albums were issued in remastered form on CD. The album is different from the film with the album's recording of the main titles sounding slower and not featuring the organ played by Alan Haven. Several tra...

  Mexican R'n'B is the debut album by English rock band The Stairs. It was released in 1992 on Go! Discs in the UK Review by Tim Sendra When they first started playing in 1990, the Stairs were out of step with the times. There weren't too many bands playing reverent versions of rugged garage rock, rollicking psych-pop, and jangling folk-rock in the U.K., or anywhere. Bassist/vocalist Edgar Jones, guitarist Ged Lynn, and drummer Paul Maguire took old Pebbles, Nuggets, and...

  Programmed to Love is the debut studio album by English electronic music duo Bent, released in 2000. The album contains various styles of electronic music and a wide array of samples. Review by Joe Silva Much respected on their native English soil, while virtually unknown outside of dance circles elsewhere, Bent traffics in the sort of mid-tempo beats and well-sculpted, chilled atmospheres attributed to many French techno-heads...Kudos are to be given for the vocoder-laden "Cylons in...

  Autogeddon is the eleventh solo album by Julian Cope, released in 1994 on The Echo Label. According to the album's sleeve notes, written by Cope, it was "inspired by Heathcote Williams' epic poem of the same name and a little incident concerning my pregnant wife (and myself) and £375,000 of yellow Ferrari in St. Martin's Lane, London, England". The album is largely a diatribe against car culture. Heathcote Williams' poem characterises the motor...

  Different Class (released in Japan as Common People) is the fifth studio album by English rock band Pulp, released on 30 October 1995 by Island Records. The inspiration for the title came to frontman Jarvis Cocker in Smashing, a club night that ran during the early 1990s in Eve's Club on Regent Street in London. Cocker had a friend who used the phrase "different class" to describe something that was "in a class of its own". Cocker liked the double me...

  Golden Vessyl of Sound is the fourth studio album by Yume Bitsu, released on May 7, 2002, through K Records. Review by Charles Spano ...A sprawling, grandiose mélange of space rock, Golden Vessyl finds the Portland, OR, band using guitars, horns, synthesizers, drums, and loops to forge an epic that crosses My Bloody Valentine and Godspeed You Black Emperor! From the spare, non-Western "Song Two" to the gurgling fractals of "Song Four," Golden Vessyl is hard...
