If Day at the Races was a sleek, streamlined album, its 1977 successor, News of the World, was its polar opposite, an explosion of styles that didn't seem to hold to any particular center. It's front-loaded with two of Queen's biggest anthems – the stomping, stadium-filling chant "We Will Rock You" and its triumphant companion, "We Are the Champions" – which are quickly followed by the ferocious "Sheer Heart Attack," a frenzied rocker that hits harder than anything on the album that shares its name (a remarkable achievement in itself)…

The Three Tenors were a popular operatic singing group during the 1990s and early 2000s, consisting of Spaniards Plácido Domingo and José Carreras and the Italian Luciano Pavarotti…

Patty Larkin is a good female comparison to Willy Porter. Both are awesome guitarists and humorous storytellers who write and sing songs that cross genre borders, generally landing somewhere between folk, rock, pop, and blues, with the occasional soulful tinge. Dog Eared Dream was originally released independently in 1994, being reissued in 1995 by Private Music thanks to a buzz built by Porter's relentless touring and adult alternative radio's crush on him…

Moody and heavy progressive rock set, with loads of fat Hammond organ. Slight blues influence, especially in the affected vocals and quite a bit of jazzy sequences including a couple of lifted parts from famous jazz sessions…

Beyond the Horizon (2005). Beyond the Horizon there is a mystical world, where one's imagination is the only limit…, is how the visual concept for the leading title is explained by its composer. Patrick has been inspired by his brother, a well respected Spiritual Healer and Reiki Master, and brings tracks to invoke memories or suggestions of warm tropical beaches (Sunrise in Paradise), discoveries of awe and wonder (Secret Temple), or safe and womb-like states of being (Sanctuary and Revelation), to ensure the listener 'travels' along with the mood and tone of the album. Enjoy this fusion of keyboard, guitar (classical/bass/electric), synthesizer and samples, drums and loops, from a passionate artist, composing beyond the music and in tune with the spiritual life…
