Sunday All Over The World
''Kneeling at the Shrine'' is a 1991 studio album by the British rock band Sunday All Over the World, consisting of Toyah Willcox, Robert Fripp, Trey Gunn, and Paul Beavis. Background The band formed in 1988 and played a short tour under the name Fripp Fripp, during which Toyah performed material from her then-most recent album ''Prostitute'' as a support act. Then, having changed their name to Sunday All Over the World, they played more dates in 1989. ''Kneeling at the Shrine'' was the band's first and only studio album, released by E.G. Records in 1991, after which they disbanded. The album does not include all songs that the band was performing at the concerts. Two of those songs, "Brilliant Day" and "Lords of the Never Known", were released around the same time on Toyah's solo album ''Ophelia's Shadow''. Although Willcox and Fripp are a married couple since 1986, this band was one of the few instances in which the two musicians worked together professionally. Track listing A ...

Instagram
Instagram is a photo and video sharing social networking service owned by American company Meta Platforms. The app allows users to upload media that can be edited with filters and organized by hashtags and geographical tagging. Posts can be shared publicly or with preapproved followers. Users can browse other users' content by tag and location, view trending content, like photos, and follow other users to add their content to a personal feed.

In 2015, this restriction was eased with an increase to 1080 pixels. It also added messaging features, the ability to include multiple images or videos in a single post, and a Stories feature—similar to its main competitor Snapchat—which allowed users to post their content to a sequential feed, with each post accessible to others for 24 hours.

Prostitute (Toyah Album)
''Prostitute'' is the third solo album by British singer Toyah Willcox, released in 1988 by E.G. Records. Background It is a concept album, highly experimental in nature, marking a considerable divergence from Toyah's previous works. It was inspired particularly by the scrutiny her recent marriage to Robert Fripp was under in the press, which made her feel that she "had gone from all-powerful artist to invisible woman". The material was written and recorded only by Toyah and Steve Sidelnyc in a space of a few weeks. It is presented as a continuous piece of music, although a time-code programme has been provided to enable the listener to access a particular title. To accommodate the two-sided format of the LP and cassette releases, side one – subtitled ''Lie Down'' – contains the first seven titles, and side two – subtitled ''Think of England'' – contains the rest of the album. The cover photo comes from Stuart Brisley's performance ''The Game'' (1969). The album reporte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Progressive Rock
Progressive rock (shortened as prog rock or simply prog; sometimes conflated with art rock) is a broad genre of rock music that developed in the United Kingdom and United States through the mid- to late 1960s, peaking in the early 1970s. Initially termed "progressive pop", the style was an outgrowth of psychedelic bands who abandoned standard pop traditions in favour of instrumentation and compositional techniques more frequently associated with jazz, folk, or classical music. Additional elements contributed to its " progressive" label: lyrics were more poetic, technology was harnessed for new sounds, music approached the condition of "art", and the studio, rather than the stage, became the focus of musical activity, which often involved creating music for listening rather than dancing. Progressive rock is based on fusions of styles, approaches and genres, involving a continuous move between formalism and eclecticism. Due to its historical reception, the scope of progressiv ...
