Elsewhere, "No Evil" builds up into an anthemic chant, while "Let Your Hair Down" is meant to get bodies grooving. "I think that one will be a favorite for a lot of the ladies—or at least I hope," laughs Nasri. "It's about letting loose and having a great time."

New technology, tested over six months in Middlesbrough, could soon be installed in businesses all over Teesside. The user is able perform a legendary form of magic that allows the user to cast magical spells and feats through manipulating music itself to a certain degree. You probably know Joanna Lumley, but you may not be aware that her husband Stephen Barlow is a famed conductor, composer and musician - and the pair of them are passionate about classical music. On this, their new podcast, the pair welcome you into their home for a personal, fascinating and funny journey through a musical world. Germany is light years behind England or France when it comes to bands that take the music of their migrant parents and turn it into something chart-compatible”, says Imran Ayata, a writer and campaigner who in 2013 made a hit compilation of forgotten musical gems from the first generation of migrant workers, called Songs of Gastarbeiter.That's what MAGIC! do best. As one half of the in-demand writing and production duo The Messengers, Nasri has penned music for everybody from Justin Bieber, Pitbull to Chris Brown and Christina Aguilera. He garnered a Grammy Award in the category of "Best R&B Album" for Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. in 2012. However, he's formally embarked on a new phase in his already illustrious career. Joanna is the enthusiastic amateur - asking the questions she’s always wanted to ask - and Stephen is The Maestro, providing the answers. Who was better: Mozart or Beethoven? Why do certain pieces of music make us feel a certain way? What do conductors actually do? They also discuss the great composers and symphonies, and the often-remarkable stories behind them, all delivered in Joanna and Stephen’s unique, engaging and affectionate way.

In addition to the conventional two channel stereo version the album was also released by Columbia in a four channel quadraphonic version in 1977 as one of the last quadraphonic albums released by the label. In 2016 the album was re-issued in stereo on hybrid Super Audio CD by Audio Fidelity. It was re-issued again on SACD by Dutton Vocalion in 2017 containing both the quadraphonic and stereo mixes. Modern society may not treat music as a magical thing now, but once music was considered to be one of the highest forms of magic. When someone sang or played an instrument, it was often to honor the gods, rile up a war band, prepare for a big event or tell a mythical story. In Medieval times, a bard was a poet who weaved magical tales with his music. Often a bard played an instrument like a harp while singing tales of older times. The bards and musicians carried on the knowledge of their people. They weren’t just considered musicians or artists, but wise men and women. The captivating sounds of the Dulcimer have been echoing round these islands for at least 301 years and some say around 2000 years worldwide. Joanna Lumley and her husband Stephen Barlow invite you into their home for a fascinating, funny journey into their shared love of music.With the addition of trombonist Ron Moss, this lineup toured and recorded the live album Live (1977) which was re-issued in 1978 as a 4-LP set called Return to Forever Live: The Complete Concert. The first time singer Derya Yıldırım met keyboarder Axel Oliveres and bassist Antonin Le Gargasson, she was sceptical: “I wasn’t sure if these guys were maybe just taking the piss.” They were two French hipsters living in east London; she was the classically trained daughter of Turkish parents living in the migrant-rich Hamburg district of Veddel. All three were a long way from Anatolia, the traditional folk music of which they’d been commissioned to reinterpret for a 2014 Hamburg arts festival. With the occasional special guest, join the pair as they discover what it really takes to stay relevant in the public eye today.
