Monolith
A monolith is a geological feature consisting of a single massive rock (geology), stone or rock, such as some mountains. For instance, Savandurga, Savandurga mountain is a monolith mountain in India. Erosion usually exposes the geological formations, which are often made of very hard and solid igneous rock, igneous or metamorphic rock. Some monoliths are volcanic plugs, solidified lava filling the vent of an extinct volcano. In architecture, the term has considerable overlap with megalith, which is normally used for prehistory, and may be used in the contexts of rock-cut architecture that remains attached to solid rock, as in monolithic church, or for exceptionally large stones such as obelisks, statues, monolithic columns or large architraves, that may have been moved a considerable distance after quarrying.

Electric Warrior
''Electric Warrior'' is the second studio album by English rock band T. Rex, their sixth since their debut as Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Monolith (Omid Album)
''Monolith'' is a studio album by American hip hop producer Omid. It was released by Mush Records on September 16, 2003. Critical reception Thomas Quinlan of ''Exclaim!'' wrote: "Although none of the songs on this album are bad, the rigid pattern of instrumental track then vocal track and back again becomes monotonous and breaks up the flow of the two separate entities, especially since the length of the instrumentals prevent them from being simply interludes." Meanwhile, Anna Klafter of ''SF Weekly'' wrote: "This combination of instrumentals and guest rappers creates the perfect sonic balance." Rollie Pemberton of ''Pitchfork'' gave the album a 6.2 out of 10, saying: "If Omid can manage to master a single style, instead of haphazardly attempting several approaches, he might yet carve his niche in the turbulent underground." The album was ranked at number 35 on CMJ's "Hip-Hop 2003" chart. Track listing Personnel Credits adapted from liner notes. * Omid Walizadeh – percussio ...

Monolith (Kansas Album)
''Monolith'' is the sixth studio album by American progressive rock band Kansas, released in 1979 (see 1979 in music). The album reached No. 10 on the '' Billboard'' album charts, marking their third straight (and last) studio album to reach the top ten. Overview Their first studio album to be produced by the band themselves, ''Monolith'' would be the third studio album release by Kansas to rank in the Top Ten of the ''Billboard'' album chart'. However ''Monolith'' would prove to be a commercial disappointment in the face of bad reviews - see Section 3 - and the lack of a high impact hit single, the lead single "People of the South Wind" stalling in the Top 30 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in August 1979 causing the rush release of "Reason to Be" as the second single: much-likened to Kansas' signature hit "Dust in the Wind", "Reason to Be" would nowhere near approximate that 1978 Top Ten hit's success, the Hot 100 peak of "Reason to Be" being #52. On their 80-city US tour, th ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
