!!! is the eponymous debut studio album by dance-punk band !!!. It was released in 2001 on Gold Standard Laboratories.
Adult/ChildAdult/Child (sometimes typeset as Adult Child) is an unreleased studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, intended to follow the group's 1977 Love You. Like Love You, it is virtually a Brian Wilson solo project with other group members serving mainly as additional vocalists. After it was rejected by Reprise Records, the band released the 1978 M.I.U. Album in its place with an almost entirely revamped song list. A few projected tracks for Adult Child were eventually released on later albums and compilations. Currently, the album is available only as a bootleg recording.
Stylus Magazine tersely summarizes the work: 'Brian’s Sinatra album. Vegas big band arrangements, brassy cover tunes, a few songs written with the hopes that the Chairman himself might sing them. The label heard it and probably rejected it before track 2 began.' Amid its status as an esoteric non-release within the Beach Boys catalog, the album has developed a mild cult following among fans and musicians.
Animal Magnetism (Merzbow album)Animal Magnetism is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. The cover depicts Masami Akita's pet silkie chickens. Pier 39 is a pier in San Francisco taken over by sea lions.
Ballet DeviareBallet Deviare was founded in 2003 and is located in New York City. It is the brainchild of Laura Kowalewski and Andrew Carpenter. It is a truly unique ballet company due to its use of heavy metal music. Classical dance styles are mixed with the music of such bands as Opeth, My Dying Bride, Swallow the Sun, Japanische Kampfhörspiele, and Celestiial. Segments with the band Arsis have been featured on Headbangers Ball.
Their second live production, Forged, was reviewed in Stylus magazine.
BarikenBariken is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. Bariken (バリケン) is the Japanese name for the Muscovy duck, which is depicted on the cover.
Beneath the Surface (GZA album)Beneath the Surface is the third solo studio album by American hip hop musician and Wu-Tang Clan member GZA. The album was released on June 29, 1999, by MCA Records.
Buzzcocks (album)Buzzcocks is the seventh studio album by English pop punk band Buzzcocks. It was released on 18 March 2003 by record label Merge.
Hard Normal DaddyHard Normal Daddy is a 1997 studio album by British electronic musician Tom Jenkinson under his alias of Squarepusher.
The album was Jenkinson's first studio album as Squarepusher for Warp Records. A single for the track 'Vic Acid' was released in 1997 prior to the album's release.
The album has received praise since its release including a five star review from AllMusic and being listed as one of the best albums of the year by The Wire and the NME. Stylus Magazine referred to the album in 2003 as Squarepusher's 'masterpiece'.
I See a DarknessI See a Darkness is the sixth album by American musician Will Oldham, released on Palace Records on January 19, 1999 as the first album under the name Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. The album features appearances from Bob Arellano, Colin Gagon, Paul Oldham, David Pajo, and Peter Townsend.
Liberation (Talib Kweli and Madlib album)Liberation is a collaborative album by Talib Kweli and Madlib. It was made available as a free download from Stones Throw's Rappcats website, and Kweli and Madlib's MySpace pages for the first week of 2007, beginning New Year's Eve 2007. It was removed about a week later. One cover for the album is an adaptation of a piece by guerrilla artist Banksy, and an alternative cover (given away as a print-ready download) is a collage of Talib Kweli, a dollar sign, and the Statue of Liberty.
Moaner (song)'Moaner' is a song by Underworld, first appearing in 1997 on the Batman & Robin soundtrack. It was also commercially released as a single in Germany and Japan, with promo-only releases being made available in the UK and US. Sales of the imported German release were sufficient enough for a UK Singles Chart entry, peaking at #89. The 7:37 'long version' (which is actually shorter than the album version) was later added as the last track on the group's 1999 album Beaucoup Fish.
The song's bassline was ranked by Stylus Magazine at number 27 in their list of the 'Top 50 Basslines of All Time'. However, the same article mentions lyrics which are in fact the lyrics to the track 'Push Upstairs'. It might be this track that they are actually referring to.
Mofo (song)'Mofo' is a song by Irish rock band U2. It is the third track on their 1997 album Pop and was released as the album's final single on 8 December 1997. The song was partially written about lead vocalist Bono's mother, who died when he was 14 years old. Other songs which Bono wrote about his mother include 'Lemon', 'I Will Follow', 'Iris (Hold Me Close)' and 'Tomorrow'. Andrew Unterberger of Stylus Magazine considers the song to be 'the only legitimate evidence' of U2's supposed dance-orientated direction on the album. He said the song was 'Underworld-esque house frenzy.'Mofo' opened every concert from the 1997–1998 PopMart Tour. It appears in the concert film PopMart: Live from Mexico City and also on Hasta la Vista Baby!, a live album from the same show.
British electronica band Underworld also recorded a remix that was never released.
Neat Neat Neat'Neat Neat Neat' is the second single by punk rock band the Damned, released 18 February 1977 on Stiff Records, simultaneously with their debut album Damned Damned Damned.
The single was reissued in Stiff's Damned 4 Pack mail-order set. A CD version was issued in the Stiff Singles 1976-1977 box set by Castle Music in 2003.
The single was also issued in Australia, Ireland, Japan (on Island Records) and New Zealand.
In 2005, Stylus Magazine ranked the song's bassline at No. 33 in their list of the 'Top 50 Basslines of All Time'.
Noise popNoise pop is a subgenre of alternative or indie rock that developed in the mid-1980s in the United Kingdom and United States. It is defined by its mixture of dissonant noise or feedback with the songcraft more often found in pop music. Shoegazing, another noise-based genre that developed in the 1980s, drew from noise pop.
Sophisti-popSophisti-pop is a subgenre of pop music. The term has been applied retrospectively to music that emerged during the mid-1980s in the UK which incorporated elements of jazz, soul, and pop. Music so classified often made extensive use of electronic keyboards, synthesizers and polished arrangements, particularly horn sections.Stylus Magazine suggested that acts were influenced by the work of Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry's mid-1980s albums, Bête Noire and Boys and Girls. According to AllMusic, major artists included Simply Red, Sade, The Style Council, Basia, Swing Out Sister, Prefab Sprout and the early work of Everything but the Girl.

Stylus Magazine ranked Morris No. 5 on their list of '50 Greatest Rock Drummers of All Time'.
