Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: New Romanticism was a youth fashion movement that peaked in the United Kingdom during the early 1980s. Originally often associated with the electronic/synthpop music scene that had become popular at that time, it has seen several revivals since then, and continues to influence popular culture. Developing in London nightclubs such as Billy's and The Blitz, the movement was associated with bands such as Visage, Culture Club, Adam and the Ants, Ultravox, Duran Duran, Japan, the Human League, and Spandau Ballet. Other artists, such as Brian Eno and Roxy Music, also had significant influence on the movement. The term New Romantic was coined by Richard James Burgess in an interview with reference to Spandau Ballet. New Romanticism's genesis took place largely through the nightclub Billy's in Dean Street, London, which ran David Bowie and Roxy Music nights in the late 1970s, when some had felt that punk rock which had initially enjoyed great and widespread popularity had lost its original appeal. In 1979, the growing popularity of the club forced organisers Steve Strange and Rusty Egan to relocate to a larger venue in Great Queen Street called the Blitz, which was also a wine bar. Strange worked as the doorman...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Hounds of Love is a 1985 album by the British singer Kate Bush. It was Bush's fifth studio album, and her second no. 1. It has since been certified Double Platinum in the UK and has sold an estimated 3M copies worldwide, making it her most successful studio album. In 2002, Q Magazine named Hounds of Love the third Greatest Album of All-Time by a Female Artist, and in 2000, the twentieth Greatest British of All Time. Despite being Bush's most successful album commercially, 1985's Hounds of Love is no less experimental from a production standpoint than its predecessors. Not only did she produce it herself, but for this album, stung by the huge costs she had run up hiring studio space for her previous album The Dreaming, she built a private 24 track studio near her home where she could work at her own pace. The album is split into two sides, with the first side, "Hounds of Love", containing five "accessible" pop songs, including the four singles: "Running Up That Hill," "Cloudbusting," "Hounds of Love," and "The Big Sky". "Running Up That Hill" became one of her biggest hits in the UK, and re-introduced Bush to American listeners, receiving considerable airplay at the time of its release. The second side is entitled "The Ninth Wave", whose title is taken from a poem by Tennyson. Bush uses samples and vocals played in reverse to synthesized sounds and folk instrumentation. A 1997 re-release of the album included six bonus tracks: 12" mixes of "The Big Sky" and "Runni...http://booksllc.net/?id=963273 ... Read more

As such, he is generally considered the primary authority in Formula One racing. He is most commonly addressed in tabloid journalism as "F1 Supremo". His early involvement in the sport was as a competitor and then as a manager of drivers Stuart Lewis-Evans and Jochen Rindt . In 1972 he bought the Brabham team, which he ran for fifteen years. As a team owner he became a member of the Formula One Constructors Association . His control of the sport, which grew from his pioneering the sale of television rights in the late 1970s, is chiefly financial, but under the terms of the Concorde Agreement he and his companies also manage the administration, setup and logistics of each Formula One grand prix. Ecclestone himself attempted to compete in two Grand Prix races during the 1958 season but failed to qualify for either of them. He is also the co-owner of Queens Park Rangers Football Club. Motorsports career Early life Ecclestone was born in St Peter South Elmham , a small hamlet three miles south of Bungay, Suffolk . Shortly thereafter his family moved to Bexleyheath , Kent, now a part of Greater London , and Ecclestone left school at the age of 16 to work at the local gasworks, and to pursue his hobby of motorcycles .

Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Line, the Cross and the Curve is a musical short film directed by and starring pop singer Kate Bush. Released in 1993, it co-starred Miranda Richardson and noted choreographer Lindsay Kemp. This short film is essentially an extended music video featuring songs from Bush's 1993 album, The Red Shoes, which in turn was inspired by the classic movie musical-fantasy The Red Shoes. In this version of the tale, Bush plays a frustrated singer-dancer who is enticed by a mysterious woman (Richardson) into putting on a pair of magical ballet slippers. Once on her feet, the shoes start dancing on their own, and Bush's character (who is never referred to by name) finds herself in a magical and psychedelic wonderland. Her guide on this strange journey is played by Lindsay Kemp, who in real life was Bush's dancing mentor. The film was released direct-to-video in most areas and was only a modest success; Kate Bush later called it "a load of bollocks". Soon after its release, Bush effectively dropped out of the public eye. Her eighth studio album, Aerial, was released in November of 2005. All songs apart from "Lily" were also used as promotional videos for the singles from her The Red Shoes album. However the version of the "Eat the Music" sequence used as the promotional video for that single was significantly different from the Line, the Cross & the Curve version in several ways: The "Rubberband Girl" and "Moments of Pleasure" clips were available on The Whole Story '94 video CD which also featured videos from the albums The Whole Story and The Sensual World.
