In 1977, two extraordinary spacecraft called Voyager were launched to the stars. Affixed to each Voyager craft was a gold-coated copped phonograph record as a message to possible extra-terrestrial civilizations that might encounter the spacecraft in some distant space and time. Each record contained 118 photographs of our planet; almost 90 minutes of the world's greatest music; an evolutionary audio essay on "The Sounds of Earth"; and greetings in almost sixty human languages (and one whale language).
The contents of the record were selected for NASA by a committee chaired by Carl Sagan of Cornell University. The selection of content for the record took almost a year. Sagan and his associates assembled 115 images and a variety of natural sounds, such as those made by surf, wind, thunder and animals (including the songs of birds and whales). To this they added musical selections from different cultures and eras, spoken greetings in 55 ancient and modern languages, other human sounds, like footsteps and laughter (Sagan's), and printed messages from U.S. president Jimmy Carter and U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim. The record also includes the inspirational message Per aspera ad astra in Morse code.
The musical selection is also varied, featuring artists such as Bach interpreted by Glenn Gould, Mozart, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Azerbaijani folk music by oboe player Kamil Jalilov, Guan Pinghu, Blind Willie Johnson, Chuck Berry, Kesarbai Kerkar and Valya Balkanska, and electronic composer Laurie Spiegel[5]. The inclusion of Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" was controversial, with some claiming that rock music was "adolescent", to which Sagan replied, "There are a lot of adolescents on the planet."The selection of music for the record was completed by a team composed of Carl Sagan, Linda Salzman Sagan, Frank Drake, Ann Druyan, artist Jon Lomberg, and Timothy Ferris, who was an editor for Rolling Stone at the time.

A long hot summer is a collection of songs previously unreleased to the public as instrumentals. Many of the songs may seem familiar as you may have heard them on previous collaborations. But you guys have asked and you shall receive, this gift to you will warm you in the cold winters and chill you out in that long hot summer....

他们的作品几乎不针对一般消费者，网上也很少或者几乎没有他们的配乐作品下载。他们的作品对口直接输送到了数字影视后期制作公司。我们常常看到的电影预告片中的背景音乐不少是出自他们之手。”其防盗工作做的很好所以网上很难找到其作品。
电影迷应该听到过他们的东西，虽然可能不知道是他们所做的。
X-Ray Dog的音乐有的激昂，有的悲伤，在听的时候，如果你用浮躁的心去听那么你什么也不会听懂，也永远不会体会到每首音乐里所特有的感情。只有静下心来用你的心灵去感受，随着音乐回忆那些或高兴，或悲伤的往事，你就会发现你能听出每首音乐中所蕴涵的感情。
这是他们的主页。
WOW的一个法国工会的BWL电影中就用到了X-Ray Dog的音乐，而且画面和音乐都很强。有兴趣的朋友可以以“BWL电影”为关键字搜索收看视频。

Billboard Charting Artist Ryan Farish has delivered another stellar album with his 3rd national release Everlasting. Ryan had already established a name as one of the highest downloaded mp3.com artists; raking in close to 2 million downloads. Ryan’s subtly stunning compositions reach millions of households daily on The Weather Channel; scoring the intro to the primetime drama Storm Stories, and throughout the day on Local on the 8’s. Ryan has composed and produced music used for major corporations including Innovative Stone, IBM, Cox Communications, Amazon.com and Sun Microsystems; creating a global network to expose his stunning music, and the world is listening.

Ryan is breaking new territory with Everlasting by expanding the depth of his music; incorporating live guitar, percussion, strings and bass with his signature piano melodies. The first thing you’ll notice is the warm live bass permeating on album starter "Together We Will Conquer" as it segues into syncopated percussion rhythms. Moby, Robert Miles and BT come to mind with a couple of his other songs that deliver upbeat break-beats, lush synth washes, deep rolling bass and Ryan’s beautiful melodies. Each song breathes from dense instrumentation to expansive openness; drifting from intense moments to lullaby peacefulness. "Young at Heart" builds from the brisk-paced percussion into ebbing strings that balance the song into a vibrant, upbeat number. Show stopper "Watch the Sky" ups the ante with a soft guitar lead accompanying his piano – showcasing Ryan’s multi-instrumental skills. Album closer "Everlasting Light" brings Ryan back to his roots with a very simple piano outro –! demonstrating Ryan’s growth and his ability to deliver a stunning album that is easily digestible. It’s that good!

Born to Die is the second studio album and major-label debut by American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey. It was released on January 27, 2012 by Interscope Records, Polydor Records, and Stranger Records. Del Rey collaborated with producers including Patrik Berger, Jeff Bhasker, Chris Braide, Emile Haynie, Justin Parker, Rick Nowels, Robopop, and Al Shux to achieve her desired sound. Their efforts resulted in a primarily baroque pop record, which sees additional influences from alternative hip hop, indie pop and trip hop music.
Contemporary music critics gave Born to Die mixed reviews; some commended its distinctive production, while its repetitiveness and melodramatic tendencies were a recurring complaint. The record debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 77,000 copies; it was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after moving one million units. Born to Die reached the peak position on eleven international record charts, and has sold 8.5 million copies worldwide as of May 2015.
After attaining online success after its initial premiere on June 29, 2011, "Video Games" was released as the lead single from Born to Die on October 17, 2011; it peaked at number 91 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its follow-up singles "Born to Die", "Off to the Races", "Blue Jeans", "Summertime Sadness", "National Anthem", and "Dark Paradise" performed sporadically across Billboard component charts and international record charts. The Cedric Gervais remix of "Summertime Sadness" was released on July 11, 2013, and became Del Rey's highest-charting single in the United States, reaching number six on the Billboard Hot 100. Del Rey additionally promoted Born to Die with several televised performances, including a widely criticized appearance on Saturday Night Live. It was reissued on November 9, 2012 as an expanded version subtitled The Paradise Edition, which was packaged with her third extended play Paradise (2012).

暮光之城---破晓 主题曲

翻唱专辑往往是草草完成的，它的出现只为了履行艺人对于唱片公司余下的合约责任。然而，专辑Playlist是Babyface在Mercury唱片公司发行的第一张唱片，之前一张专辑是2005年的Grown&Sexy，Babyface在新专辑音乐中倾注了大量的心血，音乐连接到了他年轻时聆听70年代的调幅电台的情景。原唱的大部分都非常的棒：有James Taylor、 Jim Croce、 Dan Fogelberg、Dave Loggins以及Bread（插一句，Bread在当时就好似现在的Coldplay）。除了Bob Dylan的"Knockin' on Heaven's Door"之外，其他的歌曲都非常适合Babyface，让人觉得这些歌曲与他在最近几年写的歌，听上去差别并不很大。如果你能回到过去，听到Deele（译者注：这是Babyface单飞前的团体）最早期的歌曲，同时感受到了在他的配唱中体现出的更多的灵魂乐与早期爵士乐的痕迹，那么这张专辑正好表现了他是如何受恩于这些70年代的唱作者们的。除了八首翻唱曲目外，专辑还收录了两首新歌，这两首歌都很好地融入了专辑的音乐主题之中，但全然没有一点主题上的相关性。在"Not Going Nowhere"一曲中，他向他一个刚离婚的儿子诉说着（"I've got a room with your name on the door我有一间门上有你名字的房间/Your favorite things you could ever ask for是你一直寻找着的最爱"），歌曲"The Soldier Song"提到了那些被战争夺取生命的人们（"Hope was all he had to cope他所做的都是为了希望/But he never made it home但他从没有把它带回家乡"）。---By Andy Kellman,zhangyibin翻译

San Francisco Bay Area-based Jamie Lynn Noon has released a new EP entitled Closer. The six song EP follows her previous releases, "A Moment to Break" and "Angels Spoke", in the continuation of an unfolding story of the now 27-year-old songwriter and artist. The title track of "Closer" is a sensitively charged electro-pop foretaste of the songs to come, and one which sweeps us off our feet in its wave of sweeping synths.
For Closer (to be released February 19, 2013 on Internet digital download retail sites worldwide), Jamie Lynn Noon has embodied songs which preserve the elements her fans have come to know, while also exploring a landscape of revived, lush orchestrations.
Closer will be released on February 19, 2013 on iTunes and all other major Internet retailers worldwide.
