Paradise Found is the fifth album by Tuck & Patti, released September 29, 1998.
Patricia Myers of JazzTimes writes, "In a departure from past albums, Tuck's guitar expertise and Patti’s ethereal vocals are supplemented by other musicians. Saxophonist Mark Miller and percussionist David Frazier are added to the Brazilian-flavored 'Lembrancas', and a doo-wop vocal group called The Blenders enriches Patti's pop-soul deliveries of 'All This Love' and 'Dance With Me'. Norton Buffalo plays harmonica on a funky 'You'." [2]
Geoffrey Himes of The Washington Post wrote: "Because Andress and Cathcart are much better interpretive musicians than songwriters, this collection of cover tunes is the best vehicle they've ever had. All the songs receive nicely understated arrangements, which guard against the temptation toward gushy sentimentality. Instead, the spare settings allow Cathcart's agile alto and Andress's fleet-fingered picking to achieve that cream-skimming blend of jazz and pop influences that so many smooth-jazz artists aim for and so few reach." [3]
Dave Hughes of All About Jazz wrote: "Tuck and Patti, guitar and vocal duo as well as husband and wife, offer up another helping of positive, optimistic musical brilliance on Paradise Found. I think they found paradise about twenty years ago, when they first began performing together. They both possess considerable chops, always utilized in exquisite taste and in perfect tandem." [4]

Love Among the Cannibals is the third album released in 1989 by rock band Starship. It was the first album after Grace Slick's departure from the band, and their last full-length studio release until Loveless Fascination in 2013. The album marks a shift in the band's musical direction, featuring a harder edged, AOR style as opposed to the synth pop of their first two albums. Another departure from the preceding albums is the decrease in outside writers, as this album features four songs written by Thomas, Morgan, or Chaquico. The song "Wild Again" had previously been produced for the soundtrack to Cocktail (1988), and was included as a bonus track for the album's CD release. The album had one top 20 single on the Billboard charts, "It's Not Enough", which peaked at No. 12 in October 1989 and was their final Top-40 hit, but the album itself only climbed to No. 64. The track "I'll Be There" went on to being featured in the end credits of Gross Anatomy (1989).
