12"

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
A stylistic and aesthetical departure from her previous work, "Ray Of Light" is an electronica and Techno-Pop record, which incorporates multiple genres, including Ambient, Trip Hop, Psychedelic and Middle Eastern music, while also seeing Madonna singing with greater breadth and a fuller tone. Mystical themes are also strongly present in both, the music and lyrics, as a result of Madonna embracing Kabbalah, her study of Hinduism and Buddhism, and her daily practice of Ashtanga yoga.
"Ray Of Light" has been called it Madonna's most adventurous record, and most mature and restrained album. It has been noted for its introspective, spiritual, and religious nature, with Madonna's vocals also being commended. Retrospectively, the album has continued receiving critical acclaim from contemporary critics and is often considered to be her best album. On top of this, the album is frequently cited by critics as one of the greatest mainstream Pop albums of all time. Music critics have noted the album's influence on popular music, and how it introduced Electronica into mainstream Pop culture in America. They also noted Madonna's musical re-invention, which helped the 39-year-old remain contemporary among the teen-marketed artists of the period.
"Ray Of Light" won four Grammy Awards from a total of six nominations. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, with the biggest first-week sales by a female artist at the time. It also peaked at number one in 17 countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, and charted within the top-five in most musical markets. It broke the record as Warner Music Group's album with most shipments before release at 2.5 million units worldwide (excluding the US figures), before being surpassed by Madonna's own next album, "Music". Ultimately, the album managed to sell 3 million copies in five days. Worldwide, "Ray Of Light" has sold over 16 million copies and is one of the best-selling albums by women.
On March 16, 2000, the album was certified four times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of four million units of the album. Madonna became the first female artist to have seven multi-Platinum studio albums by RIAA. It was later certified seven-times Platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) for shipment of 700 000 copies.
"Ray Of Light" enjoyed commercial success in Latin America, being certified 3× Platinum in Argentina for 180 000 copies recognized by Cámara Argentina de Productores de Fonogramas y Videogramas (CAPIF) and Platinum in Brazil for shipments of over 250 000 units certified by Associação Brasileira dos Produtores de Discos (ABPD). In Mexico, initial shipments of the album were 30 000 units. The album also achieved commercial success in Oceania, debuting at number one on the albums chart in Australia and New Zealand. It was certified triple Platinum by Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and Platinum by Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ) for shipments of 210 000 and 15 000 copies respectively. In Asia, "Ray Of Light" topped the album charts of Israel and Singapore and sold one million units in the continent as of June 1999. It was also the best-selling album from Warner Music company in the Asia-Pacific region during the 1998.

Originally released on November 9, 1990, it contains new remixes of fifteen of her hit Singles from 1983 to 1990, as well as two new songs. Its title is a loose pun on the Immaculate Conception, the conception of the Virgin Mary without the stain of original sin.
An EP titled "The Holiday Collection" was released in Europe to accompany the compilation and the re-release of "Holiday", which included three hits not included on the main compilation.
"Justify My Love", the album's lead single, became Madonna's ninth number-one Single on the Billboard Hot 100. Its music video included sexual themes and was banned by MTV, becoming one of Madonna's most controversial Singles. "Rescue Me" was released as the second Single and became the highest-debuting single on the Hot 100 by a female artist at that time, entering the chart at number 15 and eventually peaking at number nine. "Holiday" was reissued in Europe as the album's third Single and peaked at nine on the UK Singles Chart.
On November 24, 1990, "The Immaculate Collection" debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, remaining there for nine weeks, becoming the biggest selling UK album in 1990, also breaking the record for the longest consecutive weeks at number one by a solo female artist, a record that would not be matched until 2011 by Adele's album "21".
In the United States, "The Immaculate Collection" reached number two on the Billboard 200, while topping the album charts in the United Kingdom. It became Madonna's second album to be certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of over 10,000,000 copies in the United States. Additionally, the album topped the charts in Australia, Canada and Finland, and the top-five in France, the Netherlands and Spain. The compilation was certified 12× Platinum by Australian Recording Industry Association, becoming one of the best-selling albums in Australia. In the United Kingdom, "The Immaculate Collection" was certified 12× Platinum by British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipment of 3.6 million copies. In France, the album was certified Diamond for shipment of one million copies of the album. In August 2018, the album was confirmed by the Official Charts Company to have sold 3.77 million copies, making it the biggest-selling album by a solo female artist in British history, the fourth biggest-selling the greatest hits album in the UK by any artist, and the 12th biggest-selling album of all time in the UK. Additionally, during its performance in 1990 the album sold 330,000 in a week, becoming in the second highest weekly total on record according to Official Charts Company. According to the Official Chart Company, "The Immaculate Collection" is one of the Top 50 Ireland's biggest female artist albums of all-time.
The album has sold 30,000,000 copies worldwide, making it the best-selling compilation album by a solo artist and one of the best-selling albums of all time.
"The Immaculate Collection" is the first album ever to use the audio technology QSound. It would be later superseded by Madonna's third greatest hits album "Celebration" (2009), which includes every song from the album, except "Rescue Me".

Third re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary American Pop queen.
"True Blue" is the album where Madonna truly became superstar - the endlessly ambitious, fearlessly provocative entertainer who knew how to outrage, spark debates, get good reviews, and make good music while she's at it.
What's brilliant about "True Blue" is that she does both here, using the music to hook in critics just as she's baiting a mass audience with such masterstrokes as "Papa Don't Preach", where she defiantly states she's keeping her baby. Her real trick here, however, is transcending her status as a Dance-Pop diva by consciously recalling classic girl group Pop ("True Blue", "Jimmy Jimmy") to snag the critics, while deepening the dance grooves ("Open Your Heart", "Where's the Party"), touching on Latin rhythms ("La Isla Bonita"), making a plea for world peace ("Love Makes the World Go Round"), and delivering a tremendous ballad that rewrites the rules of adult contemporary crossover ("Live to Tell").
It's even harder to have the entire album play as an organic, cohesive work. Certainly, there's some calculation behind the entire thing, but what matters is the end result, one of the great Dance-Pop albums, a record that demonstrates Madonna's true skills as a songwriter, record-maker, provocateur, and entertainer through its wide reach, accomplishment, and sheer sense of fun.
"True Blue" was an immediate global success, reaching number one in then record-breaking 28 countries across the world, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, United Kingdom and United States. It spent 34 consecutive weeks at the top of the European Top 100 Albums chart, longer than any other album in history. It became the world's top-selling album of 1986, as well as the best-selling album of the 1980s by a female artist. With estimated sales of over 25 million copies worldwide, "True Blue" remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. All five singles released from the album reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100, with "Live to Tell", "Papa Don't Preach", and "Open Your Heart" peaking at number one.
"True Blue" is credited as being the album which established Madonna's position as the biggest female artist of the 1980s, rivaling male musicians like Michael Jackson and Prince. The album's singles and their accompanying music videos have sparked debates among scholars and social groups. She became the first female artist to receive the Video Vanguard Award at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards in recognition of her impact on popular culture. The album also gave her first appearance on the Guinness Book of World Records.

The album went on to sell 6 million copies worldwide.

The first soundtrack album by legendary American Pop singer.
It was released to promote the film of the same name, "Who's That Girl". The album also contains songs by her label mates Scritti Politti, Duncan Faure, Club Nouveau, Coati Mundi and Michael Davidson. The soundtrack is credited as a Madonna album, despite her only performing four of the nine tracks on the album.
Three of the Madonna tracks were released as Singles. The title track became her sixth number-one Single on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first artist to accumulate six number-one Singles in the 1980s, and the first female performer to get that many number-ones as a solo act. "Causing a Commotion" was released as the second Single, and reached number two on the Hot 100. "The Look of Love" was a European market-only release, reaching the top 10 in the United Kingdom. Another track, "Turn It Up" was a promotional release in the United States, reaching number 15 on the dance charts. "Who's That Girl" received a further promotion from the successful Who's That Girl World Tour.
Although, after its release, the "Who's That Girl" soundtrack received a mostly negative response from critics, it was a commercial success, reaching the top 10 of the album charts of the United States, Austria, Canada, France, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, while topping the charts of Germany, and the European Album chart. The album went on to sell 6 million copies worldwide.

The first compilation album of remixes by legendary American Pop singer.
The album contains remixes of tracks from her first three studio albums, "Madonna" (1983), "Like A Virgin" (1984) and "True Blue" (1986), and a new track, "Spotlight".
In the 1980s, remixing was still a new concept. The mixes on "You Can Dance" exhibited a number of typical mixing techniques. Instrumental passages were lengthened to increase the time for dancing and vocal phrases were repeated and subjected to multiple echoes. The album cover denoted Madonna's continuous fascination with Hispanic culture.
After its release, "You Can Dance" received generally positive reviews from critics, some of whom noted how the already known songs appeared to them in a complete new structure, calling it an essential album to be played at parties. "You Can Dance" was a commercial success, earning a Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America for shipment of a million copies, and reaching the top twenty of the Billboard 200. It reached the top ten of the album charts of France, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
It went on to sell five million copies worldwide, making it the second best-selling remix album of all time, behind only "Blood On The Dance Floor" of Michael Jackson. "Spotlight" was the only commercial Single released from the album, exclusively in Japan. However, the song was released promotionally in the United States, and due to radio play, the song peaked at number 32 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. "You Can Dance" has been credited for setting the standard with remix albums afterward, both in terms of concept and commercial success on record charts.

The debut full-length studio album by cult American Heavy Metal band.
Formed in 1981,  Melice are best known for their appearance on the first "Metal Massacre" compilation and the release of a pair of albums on Atlantic Records. Their heavily-European-influenced style elicited comparisons to Judas Priest.
After the initial Malice demo caused a stir and garnered label interest from Brian Slagel of Metal Blade Records, "Captive of Light" and "Kick You Down" from the demo were both selected to appear on "Metal Massacre I" alongside tracks by Metallica, Ratt, Steeler and others. Malice made their Los Angeles live debut in November 1982 at the Troubadour, headlining a bill with Metallica and Pandemonium as opening acts. Other memorable Los Angeles shows included opening up for then new major label signees Armored Saint at Perkins Palace in Pasadena, California, in early 1984.
Adding drummer Cliff Carothers, formerly with the bands Snow and Assassin, Malice set about recording new demos with producer Michael Wagener and soon found themselves in the midst of a label bidding war. Eventually, the band signed with Atlantic Records in mid 1984 and released their debut album, "In The Beginning...", in 1985. It consisted of songs the band had cut with Wagener and material recorded with Ashley Howe producing.
If you like Judas Priest during their "Screaming For Vengeance" & "Defenders Of The Faith" period, and love traditional Heavy Metal in general, than you need this album desperately!

The fourth full-length studio album by cult British Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
In the wake of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal explosion of the early '80s, several bands attempted to blend in with the movement even though they formed long after such bands as Iron Maiden and Def Leppard began to enjoy success, one such band being a Hard Rockin' trio of brothers, the Mama's Boys. The trio hailed from Northern Ireland and consisted of Pat McManus (guitar, vocals), John McManus (bass), and Tommy McManus (drums). Later in their career they became a four-piece, adding Rick Chase on vocals in 1986, who in turn was replaced by Keith Murrell in 1987 due to Rick's ill health. Keith was later replaced with Connor McKeon in 1989 who was subsequently replaced with Mike Wilson in 1990. 
Mama's Boys recorded their first self-funded album, "Official Album" (re-released in 1981 as "Official Bootleg") in 1980 in only four hours. In 1981, they were invited to support Hawkwind on their UK tour. They recorded and self-financed their second album, entitled "Plug It In", in 1982, and achieved a Hit Single in Ireland with the most Pop-oriented song on the album, "Needle in the Groove". The third album, "Turn It Up", was released in 1983. The same year they toured with Thin Lizzy on that band's farewell tour, played at the Reading Rock Festival and signed a worldwide record deal with Jive Records.
Their fourth album, self-titled "Mama’s Boys", was their first album released on Jive, and contained some songs previously released on early albums but completely re-recorded with a few new songs. One of the new songs, a cover of Slade's "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", was released as a Single and reached number 54 in the American charts. The video for the song got a lot of airplay on MTV and helped the band to become known in the US, which they toured in 1984. Coincidentally, the American Heavy Metal band Quiet Riot also released their cover version of the song at the same time as Mama's Boys, but Quiet Riot's version gained more airplay.
1985's "Power And Passion" album broke into the Billboard top 100 in the US and the band toured in the US, Europe, and Japan. During the European leg of the tour, Tommy had a relapse of leukaemia which he had been treated for as a child and a replacement drummer Jimmy DeGrasso was brought in to complete the tour. The recovering Tommy re-joined the tour in Ireland, but had to be rushed back to hospital after another relapse.
In 1987, former Airrace vocalist Keith Murrell was brought in after Rick Chase started having trouble with his vocal cords, and they recorded the album "Growing Up The Hard Way". Murrell left in 1988 to join Cliff Richard as a backing singer. Connor McKeon replaced Keith in 1989, but this was short-lived, and he was replaced by Mike Wilson.
In 1990, with a new vocalist, Mike Wilson, and under new management, Mama's Boys moved their base to the UK. The live album, "Live Tonite", was released in 1991 and the band toured extensively in Europe. In 1992, the band released "Relativity" album. While on tour in Italy in 1993, Tommy became ill again and the tour had to be cancelled.
In 1994, Tommy McManus passed away after a long battle with leukaemia. Tommy underwent a bone marrow transplant, but he did not survive. His brothers were devastated, and Mama's Boys did not continue.
On the first anniversary of Tommy's death, John composed a traditional lament on the low whistle for his brother, and this led to himself and Pat revisiting their traditional Irish music roots and forming a Celtic/New Age band called Celtus.
In 2003, Pat McManus joined with Irish Rock band Indian for two albums and live shows. After this he joined the Painkillers for a short while, and then formed "Pat McManus and High Voltage" which in 2007 became the Pat McManus Band (with Marty McDermott on bass and Paul Faloon on drums). The Pat McManus Band released "Tattooed In Blue" in 2018, and an acoustic guitar based album called "Rewind" in 2019, alongside a European tour.
“This album is dedicated to the memory of our beloved sister Valerie McManus who we miss very much”.

The third full-length studio album by legendary American Epic Heavy/Power Metal band.
Recorded just in six days, album perfectly demonstrates best aspects of "classical" era of the band. "Hail To England" received favorable reception among writers, critics, and music magazines and is considered one of the strongest albums from Manowar.Many fans still perceive this album as the best in the discography of the Manowar.
A tribute to their fan-base in the United Kingdom, the album was the first of Manowar's albums to chart, reaching No. 83 in the UK Albums Chart. In 2017, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked “Hail To England” as 87th on their list of “The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time”. In 2019, Metal Hammer Magazine ranked it as the fourth-best Power Metal album.
A remixed and remastered "Imperial Edition' of the album was released in 2019, with the band stating that the revised version would add 'the depth, the power and the clarity that could not be present in the original mixes and masters".

Re-release of the first demo by legendary Swedish Blackened Death Metal band.
It was recorded and mixed at Gorysound Studios, and self-released by the band on pro-printed cassette in June 1991. On April 21, 1995, Osmose Productions officially released it on CD and 7" vinyl for the first time. Following its CD release, "Fuck Me Jesus" was banned in seven countries, due to its explicit cover art.
"Fuck Me Jesus" is a very Death Metal-sounding recording with a heavy and fat sound. The song structures are basically Death Metal as well, combining heavy riffs with hammering two-beats. What makes a difference are some occasional Grind parts, melodic guitars, and of course the hellish vocals of Andreas. Nastier and uglier than even most Death Metal at the time, "Fuck Me Jesus" firmly established Marduk's brand of unholiness with a vengeance. 
"Departure from the Mortals", "The Black…" and "Within the Abyss" were re-recorded for the band's 1992 debut full-length, "Dark Endless".
With its raspy scathing vocals, drums like thundering death and a guitar sound that vomits blackness, "Fuck Me Jesus" possesses a sound that has rarely been rivalled since. Not only is this a must-have for all Marduk fans, but true maniacs of the Underground Black/Death scene should revisit this classic!

Remastered re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Black Metal band.
The last Marduk album to feature Joakim Göthberg on vocals and Dan Swanö as mixer, "Opus Nocturne" also was the first album to showcase Marduk's signature hyper-speed blast beat tempo; however it still contained much of the melody from "Those Of The Unlight", while retaining this break-neck speed, instead of sheer brutality on albums like "Heaven Shall Burn… When We Are Gathered" and "Nightwing".
On "Opus Nocturne" a lot of effort has been made to make the material sound different. The sound, the length of most of the tracks (often exceeding 5 minutes), Joakim's vocals (less manic) and the proportions of brutality and climate (with a slight predominance of the latter) are different here. All these "novelties", however, blend well with the music and show another, slightly different face of the band. And most importantly, the "religious" Marduk was much better than the "war" one! The longer tracks, in particular, are interesting here, the most of which, were on the album, for example "The Sun Has Failed", "From Subterranean Throne Profund" or "Sulfur Souls". 
The sound, again made by Dan Swanö, is also great - raw and bitter, and at the same time clearly legible and without Black Metal "buzzing".
It all adds up to a great long play for Marduk, actually one of their best alongside the previous two. From the climate to the brutality, everything just on "Opus Nocturne" is correct! There is hardly any better compensation in this style.
"Materialized in Stone" was originally the title for the track "From the Dark Past" that appears on Mayhem's "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas". The title was changed by Per Yngve Ohlin before his death. Marduk later adopted the title for the song on this album. They had previously also used a song title by Ohlin on their album "Those Of The Unlight". This is considered a vague tribute to Per and his works.
In 2004, the album was remastered by the band's former member Devo Andersson and re-released by Regain Records. 
"Opus Nocturne" is another mandatory listen for any beginner getting into Extreme Black Metal. You won’t be disappointed with this fantastic record!
