The Musical
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pron ...

Paradise (Inner City Album)
''Paradise'' (named ''Big Fun'' in the US) is the debut album by Detroit-based electronic music duo Inner City, released in 1989. The album was a great success in the UK and in US clubs, and was one of the first techno albums to cross over to the mainstream charts, particularly in Europe. Group member Kevin Saunderson (along with Juan Atkins, who produced one track) is renowned as one of the originators the Detroit techno sound. The vocals on ''Paradise'' were performed by the group's other member, Paris Grey.

Impact and legacy ''LA Weekly'' listed "Big Fun" at number 7 in their list of ''The 20 Best Dance Music Tracks In History'' in 2015, adding, ""Big Fun" was electronic dance music's first pop moment. But beyond its obvious commercial impact, “Big Fun” was also a milestone in the way it mixed a catchy lead vocal and synth hook with what was essentially a techno backing track. Electronic dance music, for better or worse, would never again be a wholly underground phenomenon." ''Mixmag'' ranked it as one of ''The 30 best vocal house anthems ever'' in 2018, stating that th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Big Fun (Miles Davis Album)
''Big Fun'' is a compilation album by American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis. It was released by Columbia Records on April 19, 1974, and compiled recordings Davis had made in sessions between 1969 and 1972. Largely ignored in 1974, it was reissued on August 1, 2000, by Columbia and Legacy Records with additional material, which led to a critical reevaluation. Background and recording ''Big Fun'' presents music from three phases of Miles Davis's early-seventies "electric" period. Sides one and four ("Great Expectations/Orange Lady" and "Lonely Fire") were recorded three months after the ''Bitches Brew'' sessions and incorporate sitar, tambura, tabla, and other Indian instruments. They also mark the first time since the beginning of Miles Davis's electric period that he played his trumpet with the Harmon mute which had been one of his hallmarks, making it sound much like the sitar. This contributed to creating a very clear and lean sound, highlighting both the high and low registers, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
