Various - 50 Of The Most Loved Records Of Your Life Record No. 2 flac album

Sure, the sounds are certainly the most essential element, but you can't ignore the role of cover art in making a brilliant album From the fold-out gatefolds of the vinyl era to pull-out liner notes in CD jewel cases to the small icon on a digital player, cover art has changed over the years, but it still defines how we. look at a particular album. Photographic portraits, paintings, collages - all these and more are on Billboard's list of the 50 greatest album covers of all time, reaching back to Elvis Presley's self-titled debut to and going up to present day. 002. 051.

Throughout the history of the Grammy Awards, many significant records have been set. This page only includes the competitive awards which have been won by various artists. This does not include the various special awards that are presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences such as Lifetime Achievement Awards, Trustees Awards, Technical Awards or Legend Awards.

For their second record, French-Canadian folk guitar trio Harmonium expanded into a symphonic quintet, adding woodwinds and keyboards to flesh out a concept album based on the four seasons (and a fantastical fifth). The first side is all pastoral warmth, with guitarist Serge Fiori's sweet-nothings croon, and jazzy asides. Elegant stuff, but only a warm-up for the side-two centerpiece "Histoires sans paroles," which is 17 minutes of cyclical flute themes, Mellotron haze, and billowing vocal harmonies (featuring guest Judi Richards)

For this record, Jelinek-an avid record collector before he became a producer-works with samples from jazz records from the ’60s and ’70s. But the sounds’ origins are barely perceptible in their newly abbreviated, processed, and collaged forms. The album was a new taste of a cut-and-paste universe, pushing IDM into a whole new space. It made sense that Rounds developed during the years Hebden was rubbing shoulders with Dilla and Madlib, and about to enter a collaboration with Steve Reid. Related: It also happens to be one of the most stoner-friendly albums ever made.

No gallery of cool album covers would be complete without an appearance from Eddie, Iron Maiden's mascot and constant companion. One of the very first album covers to think outside the box - literally - this record was originally released on vinyl in a giant tobacco tin, modelled on the Victorian-style containers such as Ogdens' Nut-Brown Flake, a brand of tobacco that had been produced in Liverpool since 1899. A record of ferocious power, attitude and force and, truly, a cover to match, a metallic howl of anger addressing the Jilted Generation which Prodigy so successfully reached. A brilliant and iconic cover.

It’s a no bullshit record free of frills and fat; 11 songs that make their points powerfully and memorably. These songs don’t need to be messed with or tarted up or given a 21st-century shine. They work perfectly in their current roughshod, if gently polished, form. Lenker has proved herself to be one of the most captivating songwriters, not just in indie-folk, but of the present day. Providing newfound comfort and warm familiarity, abysskiss is a record that will quickly find its way into your heart and slowly caress your soul.
