The seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Pop Rock/Soul singer.
It was Turner's third album release after her massively successful comeback five years earlier with "Private Dancer" and her third and last album with the label.  Dan Hartman produced most of the tracks on the album, including the hit single "The Best", which has gone on to become one of Turner's signature songs. The album features collaborations with prominent musicians, including saxophone solos by Gary Barnacle on at least three tracks and guitar work by Dire Straits' frontman Mark Knopfler, who co-wrote Turner's hit "Private Dancer", on the title track.
Although the album was not a major success in Turner's native United States, it was a huge international hit, especially in Europe. The album sold over six million copies worldwide. In the UK alone, it sold over 1.5 million copies, entering the UK Albums Chart at number one (Turner's first album to do so there) and staying in the Top 100 for a year and a half. The album also reached number one in numerous other countries, including Germany and Sweden, and topped the overall European Chart for four weeks.

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop Rock/Soul singer.
In 1984, a 45-year-old Tina Turner made one of the most amazing comebacks in the history of American Popular music. A few years earlier, it was hard to imagine the veteran Soul/Rock belter reinventing herself and returning to the top of the Pop charts.
After several challenging years of going solo after divorcing Ike Turner, "Private Dancer" propelled Turner into becoming a viable solo star, as well as one of the most marketable crossover singers in the recording industry.
A reflection on the emptiness of a stripper's life, the dusky title song is as poignant as it is depressing. Without question, this was Turner's finest hour as a solo artist.
"Private Dancer" became a worldwide commercial success, earning multi-platinum certifications, and remains her best-selling album in North America to date. In 1989, the album was ranked number 46 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Albums of the '80s". In 2001, VH1 named "Private Dancer" the 95th greatest album of all time. Slant Magazine listed the album at number 63 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s". In 2020, the album was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

The first re-release of the first official compilation album by legendary American Pop Rock/Soul singer.
The album includes Turner's most popular hits since her comeback in the early-mid 1980s. It also includes three new, previously unreleased, songs: "Love Thing" (UK Airplay No. 13), "I Want You Near Me" (No. 22 UK), and "Way of the World" (UK Airplay No. 6 and UK No. 13), as well as a re-recorded dance version of Turner's classic "Nutbush City Limits", all of which were also issued as Singles in 1991 and 1992.
Everything else here is either top-notch or campy, certifiable fun. A duet with Rod Stewart on "It Takes Two" supplies the fun. The two other new tracks tacked to the end beat out most of the album cuts the collection passes on, plus you get the bombastic "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" without having to buy a dull soundtrack. The oldest cut by years is the monolithic "River Deep-Mountain High," which is a bona fide classic.
The album is Turner's biggest seller in the UK, where it sold 2.1 million copies. It was certified 8× Platinum in the UK and stayed on the UK charts for over 140 weeks. The album sold over 7 million copies worldwide.

A compilation album by legendary American Pop Rock/Soul singer.
Released March 2009 to coincide with the European leg of Tina’s 50th Anniversary Tour, "The Platinum Collection" is a beefed-up version of "Tina!", a compilation released in the run-up to her 2008 world tour. Whereas "Tina!" was released in North America, "The Platinum Collection" was released in Europe a few months later in anticipation of the European leg of her tour. 
"The Platinum Collection" is a three-disc set with nearly all of Tina’s solo singles as well as some songs with Ike Turner. It’s almost definitive at 48 tracks in length. And it includes all of Turner's major hits, including six Ike & Tina Turner-era recordings ("Nutbush City Limits", "River Deep, Mountain High", "I Want to Take You Higher", "Get Back", "Come Together", "Proud Mary"), and goes all the way up to the latter-day hits "When the Heartache Is Over" and "Whatever You Need" from her most recent studio album, "Twenty Four Seven" (1999), and "Open Arms" - the one-off single from her best-of compilation "All the Best" (2004). In addition to all the hits, "The Platinum Collection" includes a couple new songs co-written by Guy Chambers ("It Would Be a Crime", "I'm Ready"), and fortunately it also includes her stunning collaboration with Italian superstar Eros Ramazzotti on his 1998 hit "Cose Della Vita". Unlike "Tina!", "The Platinum Collection" includes the studio versions of "I Can't Stand the Rain" and "Let's Stay Together" rather than live recordings. 
All in all, "The Platinum Collection" is a treasure trove of hits by Turner. Not only does it include all of her solo hits, but it also includes several songs released by others on which she is featured as a guest (e.g., "Tonight" with David Bowie, "Tearing Us Apart" with Eric Clapton, "It Takes Two" with Rod Stewart).
"The Platinum Collection" reached #14 in England.
The box set features similar cover artwork to “Tina!” compilation CD, released at the end of 2008.

The first live album by legendary American Pop Rock/Soul singer.
The album is compiled of live performances made between 1985 and 1987, the majority of which are from Turner's "Break Every Rule World Tour", but also from the 1985 "Private Dancer Tour", as well as the 1986 "Tina Turner: Break Every Rule" HBO special recorded in London at the Camden Palace (now Koko), masquerading as Le Club Zero in Paris, also released on video.
Five Singles were released from "Tina Live In Europe": "Nutbush City Limits", a cover of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love", "Tonight" with David Bowie, "A Change Is Gonna Come" and "634–5789" with Robert Cray. The most successful being "Addicted to Love", which has since become a mainstay in Turner's live repertoire and was later included on the European editions of her 1991 hits compilation "Simply The Best".
In 1989, "Break Every Rule"  won a Grammy Award for "Best Female Rock Vocal Performance".

The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Funk/Soul singer.
Released while Turner was still a member of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, the album was an attempt by her husband, Ike Turner, to expose her to a wider audience. Although the album did not chart, it earned Turner a nomination in the "Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female" category at the 17th Annual Grammy Awards.
Fine mix of Country, Folky and Soft Rock tunes done in Tina's inimitable style. On this effort, she flexes her voice from its softest to its usual rough tone and moulds it perfectly around each cut. Drawing from a wide range of composers from Dylan to Dolly Parton to Kris Kristofferson to Hank Snow, ms. Turner should gain easy Soul and Pop play and possibly some Country play. Surprisingly effective are the slow cuts, and Tina proves just as adept an interpreter of other's material as she is a singer of original songs.
"Tina Turns The Country On!" remains unreleased on CD.

Mix of fast and melodic black metal, in the traditional Scandinavian vein,
and the heavy metal sections sound quite NWOBHM inspired.
There are a few nods to Judas Priest (like the cover of Deciever).

The twelfth full-length album by Norwegian Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
In the USA and Scandinavia, the album has been titled as "Engine" for reasons best known to record companies. Album features 11 new songs and a redo of “Harley Davidson” (as a European bonus track), which originally appeared on their self-titled debut release back in ’82. The song “Not Only Lonely” appears on the Japanese release as a bonus track.
Since forming in 1982 the band have been through many lineup changes, and the current lineup includes two members from the 1982 lineup - Ronni Le Tekrø (Guitar) and Morten "Diesel" Dahl (Drums). They are joined by Victor Borge (Bass) and Tony Mills (Vocals), both of whom have been with the band for around five years. After two albums with vocalist Tony Mills, TNT finally may have settled down a bit, returning to a heavy, less experimental vibe. Now TNT is ready to Rock again!
With 12 studio albums under their belt, it is easy to hear that the composition is strongly influenced by Tekro. With Tekro and Mills credited as writing the majority of the music, it’s easy to see why Mills was asked to join the band. His vocal range is a perfect match for Tekro’s frantic guitar playing. At times, his vocals are eerily similar to Harnell but not in a copy-cat way, maybe it’s just that he has incredible range and can sing way up in the stratosphere, which is exactly where Tekro playing is.
“A Farewell To Arms” is heavy, and it’s melodic… it’s also a bit experimental. But this time around, that experimentation is reigned in considerably. The album kicks off with "Engine" which starts with some distorted electric guitar before the song kicks in at full power. This is definitely a heavy track, and it sets the tone for the album - plenty of heavy guitars, great tunes and great vocals making this a great Hard Rock album. "Refugee" slows the pace slightly, but not significantly, before "Ship in the night" - a classic TNT Melodic Rock song with a good catchy chorus. The album ends with "God natt, Marie" (ignoring the bonus track on the European version) - a slow gentle ballad/lullaby.
From a fan perspective, after veering off the path to find a new identity, TNT returns with a vengeance. "A Farewell To Arms" hits you a lot like "My Religion" did when it came out. The main difference between the two albums is the guitars are heavier. There’s not a bad song on the CD.
TNT got criticism from many fans following their two previous albums, but this album should avoid that fate - this is TNT back to their best, and all Hard Rock fans should consider checking this album out!!

The second full-length album by Norwegian Gothic/Doom Metal band.
To Cast A Shadow are now back with their second full-length album so far, after the press-acclaimed debut "All Alone" album back in 2008. The new opus, entitled "In Memory Of", witnesses the evolution of band’s sound and the big potential and authenticity of To Cast A Shadow's music.
To Cast A Shadow's tale begins with a band of three friends coming together in a basement to play loud and pounding grooves, and continues through epochs of experimenting within a range of heavy musical stylings. Influenced by The 3rd And The Mortal, My Dying Bride, Type O Negative, Satyricon, Anathema, Tool, Paradise Lost and Black Sabbath, the band's musical expression has landed firmly within the domain of Melodic Doom/Goth Metal. The sound was finally complete when a female singer was added to the mix. The original twist to the music must be found in the angelic voice of Gunnhild, which is the main voice besides the male grunting and growling. Gunnhild does not have the most remarkable voice of female Metal singers, but she simply is the best addition to these tunes of Doom and melancholy, and she does so with power and crystal clear cleanliness.
"In Memory Of" challenges two common prejudices – that against Goth Metal, whatever that is, and that against Metal where women actually sing, despite the fact that male and female Metal singers often share the same register. This record is simply fine Metal. It is mostly subtle, melodic Doom, but sometimes it wields classic Metal heft and Black Metal atmosphere.
There are clearly Sabbath-ey Doom touches here and there but the category that sprang to mind is Goth. Proper, old fashioned Goth Metal as pioneered by the likes of Paradise Lost. It’s dark and brooding in places and it has that quintessential Goth sound with wailing guitars, brooding emotion and to top it all off an impressive vocal performance from Gunnhild Huser. The album opens with the cheerily entitled "Tormented" which gives an excellent taster for what is to come. Add this to the fact that the songs are beautifully written in that finest depressing Goth tradition and it all combines to make this a very special release.
The CD was recorded at Hamar Recordings in Norway with producer Kristian Sigland (The Crest, Theatre Of Tragedy) and was mastered at Leon Music Studio in Sweden by Rikard Lofgren. It features a guest appearance by Theatre Of Tragedy lead singer Nell Sigland in the song "Betula". The artwork was developed and realized by Matthew Vickerstaff of Darkwave Art (My Dying Bride, Cradle Of Filth).
If you are a fan of Dark, Gothic Metal from the likes of My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost then To Cast A Shadow are a band that it is definitely worth checking out!!

The second full-length studio album by Tobias Sammet's (Edguy) Symphonic Power Metal project.
It is a concept album and a Rock opera. It is written in the format of a play, and the songs are the characters' dialogues and inner thoughts. The songs carry on the story begun in “The Metal Opera”, with the same characters. Much like other Power Metal albums, the compositions draw aesthetic and lyrical influences from early fantasy literature such as "The Lord of the Rings" and the "Red Sonja" series.
The albums feature many artists from various Power Metal bands, such as Helloween, Gamma Ray, Stratovarius, Rhapsody of Fire, and many more.
Line-up: Tobias Sammet (Edguy), Henjo Richter (Gamma Ray), Markus Grosskopf (Helloween), Alex Holzwarth (Rhapsody of Fire).
Guests: Jens Ludwig (Edguy), Timo Tolkki (Symfonia, ex-Stratovarius), Eric Singer (KISS, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper), Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween), David DeFeis (Virgin Steele), Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), Rob Rock (ex-Axel Rudi Pell, ex-Warrior), Andre Matos (ex-Symfonia, ex-Shaaman, ex-Angra, ex-Viper), Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray), Timo Tolkki (ex-Symfonia, ex-Stratovarius), Bob Catley (Magnum) and more.
The whole album is brilliant. All the tracks flow together and there is a freshness and energy throughout. Tobias Sammet was at his creative and artistic peak with this effort. Stands up to countless listening. Extremely well recorded, with well-balanced soloing, it's bombastic and fantastic! One of the greatest Power Metal recordings in history!!
