Additional personnel
You Am I are an Australian alternative rock band, fronted by lead singer-songwriter and guitarist, Tim Rogers. They formed in December 1989 and are the first Australian band to have released three successive albums that have each debuted at the number-one position on the ARIA Albums Chart: Hi Fi Way, Hourly, Daily and #4 Record. Nine of their tracks appeared on the related ARIA Singles Chart top 50 with "What I Don't Know 'bout You", their highest charting, at No. 28. You Am I have received ten ARIA Music Awards from thirty-one nominations. The band have supported international artists such as the Who, the Rolling Stones, Sonic Youth and Oasis.
New Adventures in Hi-Fi is the tenth studio album by the American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was their fifth major-label release for Warner Bros. Records, released on September 9, 1996, in Europe and Australia, and the following day in the United States. New Adventures in Hi-Fi was the last album recorded with founding member Bill Berry, original manager Jefferson Holt, and long-time producer Scott Litt. The members of R.E.M. consider the recorded album representative of the band at their peak, and fans generally regard it as the band's last great record before a perceived artistic decline during the late 1990s and early 2000s. It has sold around seven million units, growing in cult status years after its release, with several retrospectives ranking it among the top of the band's recorded catalogue.
The overwhelming majority of records manufactured have been of certain sizes, playback speeds, and appearance. However, since the commercial adoption of the gramophone record, a wide variety of records have also been produced that do not fall into these categories, and they have served a variety of purposes.
Invisible Touch is the thirteenth studio album by the English rock band Genesis, released on 6 June 1986 by Atlantic Records in the United States and on 9 June 1986 by Charisma/Virgin Records in the United Kingdom. After taking a break in 1984 for each member to continue their solo career, the band reconvened in October 1985 to write and record Invisible Touch with engineer and producer Hugh Padgham. As with their previous album, it was written entirely through group improvisations and no material developed prior to recording was used.
Xenochrony is a studio-based musical technique developed at an unknown date, but possibly as early as the early 1960s, by Frank Zappa, who used it on several albums. Xenochrony is executed by extracting a guitar solo or other musical part from its original context and placing it into a completely different song, to create an unexpected but pleasing effect. He said that this was the only way to achieve some rhythms.
Psapp is a British experimental electronica band. The band, a duo consisting of Carim Clasmann and Galia Durant, are sometimes credited with inventing a musical style known as toytronica, a form of electronica made with toys and toy instruments. They are also noted for their use of found sounds and homemade instruments, including the meowing of live cats, a "mechanical chicken", and a xylophone-like instrument made of bones they call the "boneaphone". They have released five albums, a Japan Exclusive Mini-Album, Northdown, and five EPs.
Tiger, My Friend is the first album by electronica band Psapp. It was originally released on The Leaf Label and was later reissued by Domino Records, which now controls Psapp's entire catalog.
Northdown is a mini album released by electronica band Psapp exclusively in Japan. Three of its tracks are exclusive to this album.
Do Something Wrong is the first EP released by electronica band Psapp.
Buttons and War is the third EP released by electronica band Psapp.
Pack Up the Plantation: Live! is the first official live album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released in November 1985. It was primarily recorded at the Wiltern Theatre during their 1985 tour but also includes several tracks from previous tours. It was released as a double LP or single cassette and compact disc.
"Tricycle" is a single by British Electronica duo Psapp. It was the first single taken from The Only Thing I Ever Wanted in Europe. In the US, however, it was the second single, with "Hi" being the first.
Early Cats and Tracks is the fourth EP released by electronica band Psapp. Unlike the band‘s other EPs, Early Cats and Tracks was released exclusively as a digital download through the iTunes Store rather than on vinyl record. The EP is often overlooked, possibly due to its digital distribution, and the fact that the only new track on the album is "In My Head". The band did not announce plans to release the EP on a more conventional format.
Rear Moth is the second EP released by electronica duo Psapp.
"Hi" was the second British single and the first US single taken from Psapp's The Only Thing I Ever Wanted. The EP features the album version of "Hi," as well as one previously available and three new tracks. "Side Dish" was originally found on Northdown and Early Cats and Tracks.
The Camel's Back is the third album by Psapp.
"The Monster Song" is the first single from Psapp's The Camel's Back. It was released on November 3, 2008 in the UK, a week after the parent album became available. At this time, a US release of the single has not been announced.
Early Cats and Tracks Volume 2 is Psapp's sixth EP, released exclusively on iTunes on April 6, 2009. Like the first Early Cats and Tracks, it is distributed exclusively as a digital release and contains previously released material.
Flick the Vs is a studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter King Creosote, released on 20 April 2009 on Domino Records and Fence Records.
What Makes Us Glow is the fourth album by electronica band Psapp. On Monday 16 September 2013, announced that their fourth album "What Makes Us Glow" will be released on 11 November through The state51 Conspiracy.
