Hailing from Aberdeen, the roots of band went back as far as 1974, but by 1980 Pallas had settled upon a line-up of EUAN LOWSON (vocals), GRAEME MURRAY (bass, guitar, vocals), NIALL MATTHEWSON (guitar), RONNIE BROWN (keyboards) and DEREK FORMAN (drums) and had begun to earn a devoted cult following in Scotland.

Although 1991's Solace made Sarah McLachlan a star in Canada, her international breakthrough arrived two years later with Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, a softly assured album that combined the atmospheric production of Pierre Marchand (a former apprentice – and evident disciple – of Daniel Lanois) with some of McLachlan's strongest songwriting to date. At the center of everything was her voice, an ethereal, lilting soprano that helped pave the way for Paula Cole, Lillith Fair, and a decade's worth of successful female songwriters. McLachlan utilized the crack between her chest and head voice, emphasizing the changing tones as her melodies climbed into the vocal stratosphere.

David Gilmour released his second solo venture in 1984, following the apparent dissolution of Pink Floyd. He had released a record on his own in 1978, but About Face is much more accessible. Gilmour has a stellar band backing him, including Jeff Porcaro (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), and Anne Dudley (synthesizer). The songs on About Face show a pop sensibility that Pink Floyd rarely was concerned with achieving. Although the album didn't attract the attention of a Floyd release, several cuts did manage to get airplay.

Woodbine was a Milwaukee local folk rock band fromed by Bill Camplin early 70's. "Roots" is a live album recorded at a coffee house and the entire perfomance was captured live. The album contains eight excellent tracks. An obscured American Folk Rock album at its top.

Act Of Creation's intense, complex and uncompromising melodic death metal album "Moments To Remain" perfectly captures the band's energy and features a massive wall of sound that still leaves enough room for the subtle nuances of Act Of Creation's signature sound.
"Moments To Remain" can be seen as a continuation of the last three Act Of Creation albums, but it should still be seen as a stand-alone release. The whole album is based on the concept of reviewing an entire day and thinking about certain topics while sitting by the water. The result is an album that, despite all its complexity, makes no compromises when it comes to a powerful performance and thus invites the listener on a highly emotional journey through the musical world of Act Of Creation.

Men at Work were an Australian rock band best known for their 1981 hit "Down Under". Formed in 1978, their founding mainstay was Colin Hay on lead vocals; he formed the group with Jerry Speiser on drums and Ron Strykert on lead guitar. They were joined by Greg Ham on flute, saxophone, and keyboards and John Rees on bass guitar. This line-up achieved national and international success in the early 1980s. In January 1983, they were the first Australian artists to have a simultaneous No. 1 album and No. 1 single in the United States Billboard charts – Business as Usual (released on 9 November 1981) and "Down Under" (1981), respectively. With the same works, they achieved the same distinction of a simultaneous No. 1 album and No. 1 single on the Australian, New Zealand and United Kingdom charts. Their second album, Cargo (2 May 1983) was also No. 1 in Australia, No. 2 in New Zealand, No. 3 in the US, and No. 8 in the UK. Their third album, Two Hearts (3 April 1985), reached the top 20 in Australia and top 50 in the US. At the Grammy Awards of 1983 they won the Best New Artist category; while at the ARIA Music Awards of 1994 they were inducted into the related Hall of Fame. Men at Work have sold over 30 million albums worldwide. The group disbanded in 1986 and reformed in 1996 to disband again by 2002.
