Album
An album is a collection of audio recordings issued on compact disc (CD), Phonograph record, vinyl, audio tape, or another medium such as Digital distribution#Music, digital distribution. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual Phonograph record#78 rpm disc developments, 78 rpm records collected in a bound book resembling a photograph album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl LP record, long-playing (LP) records played at revolutions per minute, rpm. The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the album era. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though album sales in the 21st-century have mostly focused on CD and MP3 formats. The 8-track tape was the first tape format widely used alongside vinyl from 1965 until being phased out by 1983 and was gradually supplanted by the cassette tape during the 1970s and early 1980s; the populari ...

Psychedelic Pop
Psychedelic pop (or acid pop) is pop music that contains musical characteristics associated with psychedelic music. Developing in the late 1960s, elements included " trippy" features such as fuzz guitars, tape manipulation, backwards recording, sitars, and Beach Boys-style harmonies, wedded to melodic songs with tight song structures. The style lasted into the early 1970s. It has seen revivals in subsequent decades by neo-psychedelic artists. Characteristics According to AllMusic, psychedelic pop was not too "freaky", but also not very "bubblegum" either. It appropriated the effects associated with straight psychedelic music, applying their innovations to concise pop songs. The music was occasionally confined to the studio, but there existed more organic exceptions whose psychedelia was bright and melodic. AllMusic adds: "What's trangeis that some psychedelic pop is more interesting than average psychedelia, since it had weird, occasionally awkward blends of psychedelia and po ...

Lo-fi
Lo-fi (also typeset as lofi or low-fi; short for low fidelity) is a music or production quality in which elements usually regarded as imperfections in the context of a recording or performance are present, sometimes as a deliberate choice. The standards of sound quality (fidelity) and music production have evolved throughout the decades, meaning that some older examples of lo-fi may not have been originally recognized as such. Lo-fi began to be recognized as a style of popular music in the 1990s, when it became alternately referred to as DIY music (from "do it yourself"). Harmonic distortion and " analog warmth" are sometimes confused as core features of lo-fi music. Traditionally, lo-fi has been characterized by the inclusion of elements normally viewed as undesirable in professional contexts, such as misplayed notes, environmental interference, or phonographic imperfections (degraded audio signals, tape hiss, and so on).

Teenage Spectacular
''Teenage Spectacular'' is a 12" vinyl record album by DIY home recording pioneer and one-man band R. Stevie Moore, released in 1987. It was the third of four RSM albums released by New Rose Records in Paris, France. Like 1986's ''Glad Music'', ''Teenage Spectacular'' differed from most Moore record albums by being almost exclusively recorded in a professional 8 & 16 track studio. Never officially reissued on compact disc, the expanded CD-R version is available by mail from the artist. Critical reception AllMusic called the album "a generally strong selection of songs boasting a broad array of styles, strikingly unusual and effective chord progressions, wry and clever lyrics, and inventive arrangements." ''Trouser Press'' wrote that "the simple musical constructions on guitars, keyboards and drums reveal traces of Moore’s many influences — from the Beatles to Todd Rundgren to the Bonzos to XTC and back again — and huge chunks of his monumental creative grasp."

Getting Better
"Getting Better" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1967 album '' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band''. It was written mainly by Paul McCartney, with some of the lyrics written by John Lennon, and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. Composition The song has been said to be musically reminiscent of the Beatles' hit single "Penny Lane". It moves forward by way of regular chords, produced by Lennon and George Harrison's electric guitar. George Martin plays Pianet and piano, on the latter bypassing the keyboard and directly striking the strings. These heavily accented and repetitive lines cause the song to sound as if it is based on a drone. Harrison added an Indian tambura part to the final verse, which further accentuates this impact. The sound of the percussion introduced in this section combines with the tambura to create an Indian mood. McCartney's bassline, in counterpoint to this droning, was described by music critic Ian MacDonald as "d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
I'm Only Sleeping
"I'm Only Sleeping" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1966 studio album '' Revolver''. In the United States and Canada, it was one of the three tracks that Capitol Records cut from the album and instead included on '' Yesterday and Today'', released two months before ''Revolver''. Credited as a Lennon–McCartney song, it was written primarily by John Lennon. The track includes a backwards (or backmasked) lead guitar part, played by George Harrison, the first time such a technique was used on a pop recording. Since the standardisation of the Beatles' catalogue for its international CD release in 1987, the song has appeared on ''Revolver'' in North America. The 1996 ''Anthology 2'' compilation includes outtakes of the song from the ''Revolver'' sessions, including an instrumental version that features the Beatles' first use of a vibraphone. In 2018, the music staff of ''Time Out London'' ranked "I'm Only Sleeping" at number 12 on their list of the best B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
And Your Bird Can Sing
"And Your Bird Can Sing" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on their 1966 album '' Revolver'', apart from in the United States and Canada, where it instead appeared on '' Yesterday and Today''. The song was written mainly by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. The recording features an extended dual-guitar melody, played by George Harrison and Paul McCartney, which anticipated the harmonised guitar arrangements commonly used by Southern rock, hard rock and heavy metal bands. Lennon was later dismissive of "And Your Bird Can Sing", referring to it as "another of my throwaways ... fancy paper around an empty box". The song's working title was "You Don't Get Me". Its oblique lyrics, and Lennon's failure to reveal their meaning, have encouraged several interpretations. One popular theory is that Lennon was addressing Frank Sinatra in response to a hagiographic article on the singer in '' Esquire'' magazine; another contends that the ...

Time Of The Season
"Time of the Season" is a song by the British rock band the Zombies, featured on their 1968 album ''Odessey and Oracle''. It was written by keyboard player Rod Argent and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in August 1967. Over a year after its original release, the track became a surprise hit in the United States, rising to number three on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number one on the '' Cashbox'' chart. It has become one of the Zombies' most popular and recognizable songs, and an iconic hit of 1960s psychedelia. Song information Several other songs from ''Odessey and Oracle'' were released as singles prior to "Time of the Season". Columbia Records supported the album and its singles at the urging of new A&R representative Al Kooper. One of the singles issued on Columbia's Date label was the noncommercial-sounding "Butcher's Tale", which Columbia thought might catch on as an antiwar statement, at the time a popular trend. "Time of the Season" was released only at Kooper's urging, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
