Future Language is the debut studio album of Von LMO, released independently in 1981 through his label StraZar. [1] It is dedicated to the advancement of the United States space program. [2] After a performance at Max's Kansas City in November, Von LMO disappeared from the music scene until 1991. [3]
The song "Leave Your Body" was written in 1979 for an acquaintance of LMO's who had intended to commit suicide. VMO explained, "I tried to help her by telling her that she's going to leave her body, get out of that present state, and just find herself." [3] Five of the album's tracks were previously recorded in 1979 at Skyline Studios, with those sessions appearing on Von LMO's 1994 album Cosmic Interception .
Music journalist Chuck Eddy named Future Language as being one of the 500 best albums of heavy metal in his Stairway to Hell book, listing it at No. 347. [4] He would later praise Saturn's saxophone playing and LMO's ability as a front-man in an issue of Spin . [2]
In 2000, it was issued by Flemish Masters on CD and included the track "Shake, Rattle and Roll" as bonus content. The album was included in its entirety on the Tranceformer (Future Language 2.001) compilation released in 2003.
All tracks are written by Von LMO.

Christopher Cross is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Christopher Cross. It was released on December 20, 1979, by Warner Bros. Records. Produced by Michael Omartian and recorded in mid-1979, the album was one of the early digitally recorded albums, utilizing the 3M Digital Recording System.
Money is the sixth studio album by German industrial band KMFDM, released in February 1992 by Wax Trax! Records. It was originally intended to be titled Apart, with each of the two core members, Sascha Konietzko and En Esch, recording half an album and combining their work. The album ended up using only Konietzko's half, along with additional songs. It received mixed reviews, but spawned a number of club hits. It went out of print in the late 1990s and was re-released in 2006.
Naïve is the fifth studio album by German industrial band KMFDM, released on November 15, 1990, by Wax Trax! Records.

Records.
How Bizarre is the only album by the New Zealand musical group OMC, released in 1996. It was first released on 27 September under the Huh! recording label, issued by PolyGram New Zealand, and manufactured and marketed by Mercury Records on 25 February 1997 in the United States. The album garnered a surprised, but generally positive reaction from critics; it was considered so bold and unique that it could not be compared to anything, and journalists struggled to classify it as one thing or another. How Bizarre reached number 5 in its native New Zealand and number 40 on the Billboard 200, spawning four singles: the title track, "Right On", "On the Run" and "Land of Plenty". It was also certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting sales of over 500,000 copies in that country, becoming the best-selling Urban Pasifika album.
"Spinning Around" is a song by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her seventh studio album, Light Years (2000). Written by Ira Shickman, Osborne Bingham, Kara DioGuardi and Paula Abdul, the song was initially meant to be recorded by Abdul for her own album, but was given to Minogue after the plan never came to fruition. Produced by Mike Spencer, the disco-influenced dance-pop song was then released in the UK as the lead single from Light Years on 19 June 2000, through Mushroom Records and Parlophone. Lyrically, the song addresses the theme of reinvention, with Minogue claiming that she has changed as a person and learned from the past.
Money Can't Buy was a one-off, 75-minute concert show held on 15 November 2003 at Carling Apollo in London to promote Australian singer Kylie Minogue's ninth studio album Body Language (2003). Its title alludes to the fact that tickets were not for sale and limited to invited guests and competition winners. The total cost of staging the concert was £1 million. William Baker and Alan MacDonald served as creative and art directors, respectively, while Michael Rooney and Steve Anderson worked on the choreography and musical arrangements.
My Body, the Hand Grenade is the first and only compilation album by American alternative rock band Hole, released on October 28, 1997, through the band's European label, City Slang Records. It was also imported for sale in the United States, where it was released on December 10, 1997. The album was compiled with the intent of tracking the band's progression from their noise rock beginnings to the more melodic songwriting that appeared on their second album, Live Through This (1994).
Walking on Sunshine is the third studio album by Guyanese-British musician Eddy Grant, originally released in 1978 by Ice Records. Recorded at Grant's Stamford Hill recording studio, the album was the follow-up to Message Man (1977) and fuses styles of Caribbean music like reggae, soca and calypso with other genres, including funk and pop. The musician played most of the album's instrumentation himself, and described the record as reflecting his joyousness. However, some songs feature tough cultural themes, particularly those on the first side.
"Losing a Whole Year" is a song by American rock band Third Eye Blind from their eponymous debut studio album (1997). It was released to radio as the fourth single from the album on February 23, 1998, by Elektra Records. The song was written by frontman Stephan Jenkins and guitarist Kevin Cadogan, whilst production was helmed by Jenkins and Eric Valentine. According to Jenkins, the song is about lamentation due to the end of a relationship.

"Be Happy" is a song by American singer Mary J. Blige. It was written by Blige, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Arlene DeValle, and Jean-Claude Olivier from duo Poke & Tone for her second studio album, My Life (1994), while production was helmed by Combs and Olivier. "Be Happy" contains an instrumental sample of the song "You're So Good to Me" (1979) by musician Curtis Mayfield and a re-sung vocal portion of the record "I Want You" (1976) by Marvin Gaye.
"I Love You (Miss Robot)" is a song written, performed and produced by the Buggles, a duo of Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, for their 1980 debut studio album The Age of Plastic. It was not released as a single. The song is, according to Downes, about "being on the road and making love to someone you don't really like", although music critics consider the song's subject having to do with a robot. The song was performed live in 2010, as part of the first performance of all the tracks from The Age of Plastic.
Cosmic Interception is the second studio album by Von LMO, released in February 1994 by Variant Records. It comprises tracks recorded in 1979 and the songs "Cosmic Interception" and "Inside Shadowland", which were recorded in 1994 with Otto Von Ruggins.
MX-80, also known as MX-80 Sound, is an eclectic American art-rock band founded in 1974 in Bloomington, Indiana, United States, by guitarist Bruce Anderson. Considered “one of the most out of step but prescient bands of its time", MX-80's signature sound consisted of breakneck metallic guitar combined with atonal chord structure, cross-rhythmic percussion and dispassionate vocals. Notoriously difficult to categorize—the band has been labeled noise rock, post-punk, acid punk, and heavy-metal—MX-80's sonic melange set the stage for bands such as Swans, Sonic Youth, Codeine, and Shellac.
Red Resistor is the third studio album by Von LMO, released in 1996 by Variant Records.
T.R.A.S.H. is a compilation album by the rock band The Tubes, released in November 1981.
Perfect Teeth is the seventh and final studio album by Washington, D.C. Indie band Unrest, released on August 9, 1993 through 4AD. The album was recorded at Pachyderm Studios. Unrest initially joked with their management about having Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran produce the album, which led to him coming into the studio, but not being involved with production.
Aggravation is the second studio album by French industrial metal band Treponem Pal. It was released in 1991 on Roadracer Records. The record features contributions from producer Roli Mosimann and session work from the Celtic Frost drummer Stephen Priestly. The album also features a cover of Kraftwerk's 1976 track, "Radioactivity."
