Dire Straits' fourth studio album "Love Over Gold", an album of songs filled with lengthy, experimental passages, was well-received when it was released in September 1982, going gold in America and spending four weeks at number one in the United Kingdom.
The title was inspired by graffiti seen from the window of Knopfler's old council flat in London. The phrase was taken from the sleeve of an album by Captain Beefheart. "Love Over Gold" was the first Dire Straits album produced solely by Mark Knopfler, and its main chart hit, "Private Investigations", gave Dire Straits their first top 5 hit single in the United Kingdom, where it reached the number 2 position despite its almost seven-minute length, and became another of the band's most popular live songs.

Making the project author used a mass of sound effects, city ambience and dark atmospheres. Highly layered synthesized textures create a unique deep canvas. Very minimal in one place it can be very complex and loud in other. Music flows continuously smoothly going through vast scenes showing you the world of nightmares. This is nuclear performance for Geiger counter and cogwheel orchestra.

Album for the Young (Album für die Jugend), Op. 68, was composed by Robert Schumann in 1848 for his three daughters. The album consists of a collection of 43 short works. Unlike the Kinderszenen, they are suitable to be played by children or beginners. The second part, starting at Nr. 19 (Kleine Romanze), is marked Für Erwachsenere (For adults; For more grown-up ones) and contains more demanding pieces.

This is a typically tasteful Kenny Burrell record (reissued on CD) with the guitarist mostly emphasizing ballads. Five of the seven songs (which include "Make Someone Happy," "Since I Fell for You" and the theme from "A Streetcar Named Desire") find Burrell assisted by pianist Richard Wyands (who also played electric piano), bassist Reggie Johnson and drummer Lenny McBrowne. "'Round Midnight" is played by Burrell with pianist Joe Sample, bassist Johnson and drummer Paul Humphrey while "Blues in the Night" is an unaccompanied guitar solo. Although the music overall is well-played, no real sparks fly and the results often border on being sleepy.

Undeniably popular and Colombian music: cumbia. This compilation CD was released in 2000 in Spain under Mexican producer's license. Collect a total of 16 subjects, some of which are originally from Colombia, still landmarks referred, and other are arranged from Latin and folk Spanish songs. In any case a repertoire of great cumbias very suitable for the Latin and Hispanic audience, played by the Sonora Tekendama Orchestra. Cumbia is alive.
