Days Of Open Hand
''Days of Open Hand'' is the third studio album by Suzanne Vega. It was released on April 10, 1990 through A&M Records. The follow-up to the successful ''Solitude Standing'' (1987), ''Days of Open Hand'' combines Vega's established folk-rock style with more varied instrumentation such as the ney and dumbek and experimental arrangements. The album was produced by Vega and Anton Sanko, who also co-wrote many of the album's tracks. High-profile contributors to the album include Philip Glass, Shawn Colvin, and John Linnell (of They Might Be Giants). The album saw greater use of synthesizers and samplers than Vega's previous albums; these included the Fairlight CMI and Voyetra-8. ''Days of Open Hand'' failed to match the success of its predecessor, stalling at number 50 in the US and failing to spawn a hit single. It was more successful in the UK, where it reached the top 10. Despite this, the album did surpass sales of a million copies and reviews were generally positive. ''Days of Op ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wilhelm Reich
Wilhelm Reich ( , ; 24 March 1897 – 3 November 1957) was an Austrian Doctor of Medicine, doctor of medicine and a psychoanalysis, psychoanalyst, along with being a member of the second generation of analysts after Sigmund Freud. The author of several influential books, most notably ''The Impulsive Character'' (1925), ''The Function of the Orgasm'' (1927), ''Character Analysis'' (1933), and ''The Mass Psychology of Fascism'' (1933), he became known as one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry.
