LP Record
The LP (from "long playing" or "long play") is an analog sound storage medium, a phonograph record format characterized by: a speed of rpm; a 12- or 10-inch (30- or 25-cm) diameter; use of the "microgroove" groove specification; and a vinyl (a copolymer of vinyl chloride acetate) composition disk. Introduced by Columbia in 1948, it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire record industry. Apart from a few relatively minor refinements and the important later addition of stereophonic sound, it remained the standard format for record albums (during a period in popular music known as the album era) until its gradual replacement from the 1980s to the early 2000s, first by cassettes, then by compact discs, and finally by digital music distribution. Beginning in the late 2000s, the LP has experienced a resurgence in popularity. Format advantages At the time the LP was introduced, nearly all phonograph records for home use were made of an abrasive shellac compound ...

A Hyperactive Workout For The Flying Squad
''A Hyperactive Workout for the Flying Squad'' is the seventh studio album by English rock band Ocean Colour Scene. It was originally due to be released in September 2004 but Sanctuary Records requested the band record a live album instead and it was eventually released on 21 March 2005. The album was produced by Dave Eringa and recorded at a hunting lodge near Kirriemuir, Scotland. The album's unusual title was a phrase the band heard on BBC Radio 4 and decided they liked. Critical reception to the album generally agreed that the album would please Ocean Colour Scene fans, although the album charted lower than previous albums at number 30 in the UK album chart compared to number 14 for the previous album ''North Atlantic Drift''. Background and production Bassist Damon Minchella left the band in 2003. ''A Hyperactive Workout for the Flying Squad'' was recorded with producer Dave Eringa; the majority of sessions were held at Piersie Lodge in Kirriemuir, Scotland, while " Wah Wah" ...

North Atlantic Drift (album)
''North Atlantic Drift'' is the sixth studio album by British rock band Ocean Colour Scene. Background Martin 'Max' Hayes and the band co-produced every song, except for "For Every Corner", which was produced solely by the former. They were assisted by Tim Roe (who also did additional engineering on "When Evil Comes"), Darren, Nash, Darren Blackwell, and Tom Webster. Hayes and Pete Craigie mixed the recordings. Composition Musically, the sound of ''North Atlantic Drift'' has been described as blues rock. The opening track "I Just Need Myself" is done in the style of the Faces, with percussion from Steve White. "Oh Collector" features guitar contributions from Kevin Rowe. The title track is political commentary on American cultural imperialism and its support by the UK government, particularly the then impending US-led invasion of Iraq, which was opposed by the majority of the British public. The Paul Weller-like "Golden Gate Bridge" is followed by the Phil Spector-indebted ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mechanical Wonder
''Mechanical Wonder'' is the fifth album by Ocean Colour Scene. It peaked on the UK album chart at #7 and lasted four weeks in the top 75. To date, it is the last Ocean Colour Scene release to enter the top 10. The title is believed to be anti-dance music, as are the lyrics; "the Mechanical Wonder is... ...just a noise in my room." However, the band deny this. Simon Fowler wrote in the liner notes of the band's greatest hits album " Songs for the Front Row" that the title referred to cars on the motorway. Live however, Simon Fowler often sings "and the radio plays only fucking Radio 1", a possible reference to the lack of airplay the band get. The other single from the album was "Up on the Downside", which fared better in the charts. The album was not a success, marking the end of the Britpop success of the band. After the failure of the album, the band decided to release themselves from their contract with their record label. Track listing #"Up on the Downside" #"In My Field" ...

It was founded in 1959 by Chris Blackwell, Graeme Goodall, and Leslie Kong in Jamaica, and was eventually sold to PolyGram in 1989.

One From The Modern
''One from the Modern'' is the fourth album by Ocean Colour Scene. The album made a departure from the two previous albums ''Moseley Shoals'' and '' Marchin' Already'', and is slower and sadder. It was panned by critics who accused it of being too commercial and labelled it "dad rock". The album was dismissed by David Belcher of '' The Herald'', who commented on its "strangled vocals" and "cringe-worthy lyrics." Nicholas Barber writing for ''The Independent'' concurred saying: "Much of the blame must rest on Simon Fowler. His mangled vocals and nonsense lyrics suggest that he doesn't know what it is he wants to communicate." The protest song "Profit in Peace" was the first single, with "So Low" and then a double release of "I Am the News"/"July". The song "Soul Driver" is dedicated to Paul Weller, who mentored the band. The album's cover photograph was taken in the Yew Garden at Packwood House near Lapworth, Warwickshire, a National Trust Property. Track listing #"Profit in ...

Marchin' Already
''Marchin' Already'' is the third album by Ocean Colour Scene. The album was a follow-up to the successful ''Moseley Shoals'', and is in a similar style. The songs were taken from the band's catalogue that they had built up since forming several years earlier. The single "Hundred Mile High City" was used in the film ''Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels''. P.P. Arnold appears on "Traveller's Tune" and "It's a Beautiful Thing". A more subdued version of "Traveller's Tune" originally appeared as a B-side to "The Day We Caught the Train". The album knocked Oasis' '' Be Here Now'' off the top spot in the UK Albums Chart—Noel Gallagher sent Ocean Colour Scene his congratulations through a plaque on which he had inscribed, "To The Second Best Band In Britain". Steve Cradock famously retorted "it's an honour to be described as Britain's second best band, ahead of Oasis but behind the Beatles". In 2007 the song "Get Blown Away" was covered by British indie band The Enemy as a B-sid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
