Caravan (travellers)
A caravan (from Persian ) or cafila (from Arabic ) is a group of people traveling together, often on a trade expedition. Caravans were used mainly in desert areas and throughout the Silk Road, where traveling in groups aided in defense against bandits as well as helped to improve economies of scale in trade. Some of the first caravans on the Silk Road were sent out by Emperor Wu of Han in the 2nd century BCE when this vast network of roads was 'born', and as China began exporting large quantities of silk and other goods west, particularly destined for the Roman Empire. Description In historical times, caravans connecting East Asia and Europe often carried luxurious and lucrative goods, such as silks or jewelry. Caravans could therefore require considerable investment and were a lucrative target for bandits. The profits from a successfully undertaken journey could be enormous, comparable to the later European spice trade. The luxurious goods brought by caravans attracted many ...

The Beast Inside
''The Beast Inside'' is the second studio album from British indie rock band Inspiral Carpets. It was released on 22 April 1991 on Mute Records. The album made the Top 10 in the United Kingdom. Critical reception ''The Rolling Stone Album Guide'' called the album "a leap forward," writing that "Sleep Well Tonight" "recalled the Velvets at their most Teutonically romantic." ''Trouser Press'' called it "a misbegotten attempt at formula- tinkering that broadens the band’s dynamic net but doesn’t pull anything worthwhile in." The ''Los Angeles Times'' wrote that ''The Beast Inside'' "bears plenty of beat-heavy ecstasy, as well as sounds o’ the ‘60s (notably Clint Boon’s swirling organ)." The ''Chicago Tribune'' wrote that "few of the tunes are immediate powerhouses, but as the Carpets maintain their garage-rock energy while keeping the soundscapes changing ... they provide their eventual, if minor, rewards."

Sim City (album)
''Sim City'' is a 1995 album by Japanese musician and composer Susumu Hirasawa. It is his fifth solo album. Overview In 1994, Susumu Hirasawa got the suggestion to try a Pink Floyd-like sound for his next solo album from his neighbor, Doll Magazine editor-in-chief Mikio Moriwaki. His original plan was to make a '90s version of ''The Dark Side of the Moon'', which would cover similar ground to ''Virtual Rabbit''. Sometime afterward, he came up with the idea of the , a role-playing game held in an overseas country for members of his official fan club Hirasawa Bypass. It was decided that it would happen in the Thai city of Phuket, since the airplane trip would be short and it didn't have a lot of Japanese tourism; because of that lack of Japanese reference, Hirasawa took a trial visit to see if it would be a good place for the tour, his first time in the country. He had no idea what to expect and had something like the Vietnam War in mind, but on that night he attended a show at th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
