New Age
New Age is a range of spiritual or religious practices and beliefs which rapidly grew in Western society during the early 1970s. Its highly eclectic and unsystematic structure makes a precise definition difficult. Although many scholars consider it a religious movement, its adherents typically see it as spiritual or as unifying Mind-Body-Spirit, and rarely use the term ''New Age'' themselves. Scholars often call it the New Age movement, although others contest this term and suggest it is better seen as a ''milieu'' or ''zeitgeist''. As a form of Western esotericism, the New Age drew heavily upon esoteric traditions such as the occultism of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, including the work of Emanuel Swedenborg and Franz Mesmer, as well as Spiritualism, New Thought, and Theosophy. More immediately, it arose from mid-twentieth century influences such as the UFO religions of the 1950s, the counterculture of the 1960s, and the Human Potential Movement. Its exact origins ...

Gregorian (band)
Gregorian is a German band headed by Frank Peterson that performs Gregorian chant-inspired versions of modern pop and rock songs. The band features both vocal harmony and instrumental accompaniment. They competed in Unser Lied für Stockholm, the German national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, and placed 5th in the first round of public voting with the song "Masters of Chant", failing to make the Top 3 with 9.06% of the public vote. Band history Originally, Gregorian was conceived as a more pop-oriented group in the vein of Enigma. Under this concept, Peterson together with Matthias Meissner and Thomas Schwarz, recorded the 1991 album '' Sadisfaction'', with lead vocals provided by The Sisters of Oz: Susana Espelleta (Peterson's wife at the time) and Birgit Freud. However, this was the only album by the trio in that style. In 1998, Peterson and his team of Jan-Eric Kohrs, Michael Soltau and Carsten Heusmann re-invented the project to perform popular songs in ...

Les Démons De Minuit
"Les Démons de minuit" is the debut single of the French band Images. Released in June 1986, it was the first single from their first album ''Album d'Images''. Very popular, the song was a huge hit in France and the main summer hit of 1986, peaking at number one for 13 weeks. Background and writing "Les Démons de minuit" was also released as an English version (by the same group), titled "Love Emotion". It was very difficult for the group to find a record company agreeing to sign a contract with them, because at the beginning nobody believed in the potential of the song. Christophe Desprès, who took part in the composition of the song, was also a member of the group Pacifique, which released two top 20 hits in the late 1980s. At the time, the music video apparently was regarded scandalous in France as it featured a little particular priest, tortured by the temptation among seductive women. Chart performance In France, "Les Démons de minuit" debuted at number 30 on the SNEP S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
