I Love It From Behind! (1981)

Omega was not only very successful behind the Iron Curtain but also had a large following in the West at that time, as they recorded their albums in English for the international market, especially in the 1970s. "Time Robber", "The Hall Of Floaters In The Sky" and "Gammapolis" are classics of progressive rock today, all of them were created under the direction of Peter Hauke in Frankfurt / Main. It was also Hauke who brought the band back into the studio in 1981 to record another English-language album called "Working". The album consisted mainly of tracks from the Hungarian album "Az arc", which was made in the same year. The songs were translated into English with the help of Tony Carey. Another masterpiece came about with “Working”, as well as Omega's last English-language album up to 1996.

The best of that rather extraordinary body of music written, often hurriedly, to meet the ephemeral needs of the American entertainment industry between the two world wars has proved durable beyond all expectation. Each of the songs on the present recording is characterised by melodic originality of a most personal kind. George Gershwin’s idiom was tinged from the beginning with jazz and the blues, and this had an effect on his rhythm and harmony, both of which still possess much piquancy.
In most cases the lyrics are by the composer’s brother, Ira, and they are almost equally accomplished, matching the extremely varied moods of the music well…

The unmistakable voice of Whitney Houston is powerful and timeless. She is one of the best-selling artists of all time with sales of over 200 million records worldwide and is the only artist to have had seven consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. She reached the pinnacle of pop success, becoming one of the most accomplished recording artists of all time. But her heart was always in Gospel music, and it profoundly influenced her life and career. I Go To The Rock captures her Gospel music journey. Featuring six never-before-released songs, the album gives a glimpse of the deep faith behind the voice that continues to uplift and impact countless lives around the world.

' …I listed this album as the number two soul LP of the year at the time of its release, and I think it has not lost any of its magic in nearly 30 years. What makes this such a strong album is that both the ballads and the funky upbeat numbers are equally powerful. On the ballads, Sandra reminds me of Gladys Knight, while on the funkier cuts Gwen McCrae at her very best is a close point of comparison. If you like the music of Gladys and Gwen, don't hesitate a second, just click and download the CD.' Ismo.Tenkanen@Soul.Express

The German group Accept was one of the great metal bands of the '80s, but they never had huge success in North America. "Balls To The Wall" was their breakthrough in the U.S., but that was their only major hit here. They released tons of great albums over the years, and this DVD includes a lot of material.
