From the album Chairs Missing

Chairs Missing is the second studio album by the English rock band Wire. It was released on 8 September 1978 through Harvest Records. It uses more developed song structures than the minimalist punk rock of the group's first album. The record was met with widespread critical acclaim.

The album peaked at number 48 in the UK Albums Chart. The single "Outdoor Miner" was a minor hit, peaking at number 51 in the UK singles chart.

Although it features some of the minimalist punk rock of the band's debut Pink Flag, Chairs Missing contains more developed song structure (taking some cues from 1970s prog-rock, psychedelia, and art rock), keyboard and synthesizer elements brought in by producer Mike Thorne, and a broader palette of emotional and intellectual subject matter. The title is said to be a British slang term for a mildly disturbed person, as in "that guy has a few chairs missing in his front room".

The album was released through Harvest Records on 8 September 1979.

Throb Throb is the debut studio album by American punk rock band Naked Raygun, released on Homestead Records in 1985. It was the first of the band's releases to feature the musicianship of John Haggerty whose guitar playing distinguished the band's sound during the 1980s. Quarterstick Records reissued the album in 1999, and added an early version of "Libido" as bonus material, which originally appeared on the Flammable Solid 7".

Naked Raygun had combined resources with other local bands, such as Big Black and The Effigies, to release records themselves under the name Ruthless Records.[5] In 1983 they put out the Basement Screams EP and then, after a change of personnel, recorded the LP Throb Throb. Three songs from the album ""Surf Combat", "Gear" and a shorter version of "Libido") saw release on Naked Raygun's first single, Flammable Solid (a tribute to Stiff Little Fingers' first album Inflammable Material) With their signing to Homestead Records, the release of the full LP was delayed into the following year.

Throb Throb's lyric sheet was done up to resemble a blueprint with white text on a blue background, and on some versions of the LP the lyrics even appeared backwards in the style of an actual blueprint. The LP remained in print through the 1980s and was mastered onto CD. When Quarterstick Records rereleased the band's material in 1999, Homestead's original distributor issued 400 final copies of the LP on green vinyl. The cover was created by Chicago comic book artist Mike Saenz.

Spin wrote, "Delivering garage punk in chummy boys' voices surrounded by a low, bass-heavy beat and searing, fuzz-happy drones of guitar. Filtering America through a sinister-but fun sensibility is what Throb Throb is about." John Leland added, "Barring the Hüskers, no one has a stronger sense of roots and a greater affinity for pop hooks. Like most punks, the Rayguns write about sex and the military, but their lyrics are satisfying only for their underlying anger and not for their half-baked truisms."

Oxygène 3 is the nineteenth studio album by the French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre. Announced via a post on Jarre's Instagram account, the album was released on 2 December 2016, on the 40th anniversary of the original Oxygène album.

In 1997, another sequel Oxygène 7-13 was released on the 20th anniversary to the 1976 album Oxygène. During the recording of his 2015 album Electronica 1: The Time Machine, Jarre composed a piece of music (later titled "Oxygene 19") that "made me think about what Oxygene could be if I was composing it today." In an interview with Billboard he stated: "What made the first Oxygene so different at the time, is probably the minimalist aspect, and the fact that there are almost no drums, and I wanted to keep this approach, creating the groove mainly with the sequences and the structure of the melodies only".

The 1976 album was made on an 8-track multitrack with very few instruments. "I tried to keep this minimalist approach for Oxygene 3," Jarre stated.[5] Jarre also stated that the album is separated into two distinct "light and dark" sides. "Oxygène (Part 20)" samples "Oxygène (Part VI)" from the original album within the sounds of wind and white noise that play at the beginning of the track.[7] The album was recorded in just six weeks and mixed by Jarre using the Ableton Live audio software.
Artwork

The album cover features a 3D model that recreates the original Michel Granger design used for the 1976 album. For the cover, Jarre asked Granger for permission to make a model based on his artwork, but from another angle. According to Jarre the artwork is "an ecological warning signal, dark and surreal, evoking both outer space and that of our vital living space." He also added that it had "become inseparable from the music."

During the recording of his Electronica albums, Jarre composed and recorded a piece that he said "made me think about what Oxygène could be if I was composing it today." With the 40th anniversary in mind, Jarre decided to record another chapter of Oxygène, with the original minimalist approach in mind, but using new technology to create it.
During the Electronica Tour, Jarre previewed the track Oxygène 17, which was released as a single on 4 November. For the artwork of the album, Jarre returned again to longtime collaborator and artist of the original Oxygène album cover Michel Granger to create a 3D model of his original painting that served as the cover for Oxygène.

Oxygène 3 was released as a standalone album on CD, digital download and LP, as well as in the Oxygène Trilogy package. The Oxygène Trilogy was released on CD in digipak format, and in the Ultimate edition, which contains the CDs of the albums, as well as transparent vinyl and an exclusive coffee table book. The book contains pictures and a brief description of the various recording equipment (studio tape recorders, master SSD and tapes, DAW software etc.) and musical instruments (organs, synthesizers, drum machines, VST plugins etc.) used to record the three albums in the Oxygène series.
