The Music of Time
Though we might not realise it, our collective memory of the twentieth century was defined by the poets who lived and wrote in it. At every significant turning point we find them, pen in hand, fingers poised at the typewriter, ready to distil the essence of the moment, from the muddy wastes of the Western front to the vast reckoning that came with the end of empire.
This is the first and only history of twentieth century poetry, by the acclaimed poet, author and academic John Burnside. Bringing together poets from times and places as diverse as Tsarist Russia, 1960's America and Ireland at the height of the Troubles, The Music of Time reveals how poets engaged with and shaped the most important issues of their times - and were in their turn affected by their context and dialogue with each other. This is a major work of scholarship, that on every page bears witness to the transformative beauty and power of poetry.
Jarre Jean-Michel - Planet Jarre: 50 Years Of Music 2CD
Jean-Michel André Jarre; narodený 24. augusta 1948) je francúzsky skladateľ, performer a hudobný producent. Je priekopníkom v elektronickom, ambientnom a new-age žánri a je známy organizáciou outdoorových predstavení s jeho hudbou, ktoré sprevádzajú obrovské laserové displeje, veľké projekcie a ohňostroje. V roku 2004 predal Jarre odhadom 80 miliónov albumov a singlov. Bol prvým západným hudobníkom oficiálne pozvaným na vystúpenie v Čínskej ľudovej republike a je držiteľom svetového rekordu v historicky najpočetnejšom publiku na vonkajšom podujatí jeho koncertu v Moskve 6. septembra 1997, na ktorý prišlo 3,5 milióna ľudí.
Planet Jarre: 50 Years of Music je kompilačný album, ktorý bol vydaný 14. septembra 2018 na pripomenutie Jarreho 50 rokov v hudobnom biznise. Celkovo 41 skladieb vybral sám Jarre na zaradenie, medzi nimi dve nové skladby ("Herbalizer" a "Coachella Opening"). Jarre remastroval
a v niektorých prípadoch „retušoval“ skladby sám. Počas tohto procesu sa rozhodol, že sa venoval štyrom celkom odlišným štýlom kompozície, a preto rozdelil projekt do štyroch "vesmírov" - "Soundscapes", "Themes", "Sequences" a "Explorations and Early Works". Niektoré skladby boli vydané s priestorovým zvukom 5.1.

Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me from Succes
The extraordinary and searingly honest personal story of musician Miki Berenyi, revealing the highs and lows of navigating the madness of the '90s music industry.

Formed in 1988, Lush were part of the London gig scene during one of the most vibrant and creative periods in UK music. Now, Miki Berenyi tells all.
From the bohemian ways of her father's social circle to the privileged glamour of her mother's acting career, Miki's young life was a blur of travel, celebrities and peripatetic schooling. But frequent relocation, parental neglect and the dark presence of her abusive grandmother resulted in crippling shyness, mental-health issues and a vulnerability to exploitation.
The route out of this hole was music - a passion shared by schoolmate Emma Anderson. The teenagers began attending gigs together and would ultimately go on to form Lush. Talented and exuberant, the band became hot property, swiftly transitioning from shoegaze icons to Britpop darlings.
Re-living the tours, recording sessions and music-industry madness they experienced along the way, this uncompromising memoir documents Lush's thrilling rise and untimely fall. Yet at the heart of the book are Miki's own battles: the conflict between her mouthy public persona and her thin-skinned private identity; the trials of being a woman in an infuriatingly male world; the struggle to find a middle ground between 'safe' indie obscurity and 'sell-out' international success. Miki also explores her complicated relationship with Emma - one that has fluctuated between camaraderie and rivalry over the years - and addresses the devastating tragedy that led to the band's split.
Told through frank confession, wry humour and searing emotional honesty, this is the incredible tale of a trailblazing woman and a seminal band.
How Music Works
How Music Works is David Byrne's bestselling, buoyant celebration of a subject he has spent a lifetime thinking about. Drawing on his own work over the years with Talking Heads, Brian Eno, and his myriad collaborators - along with journeys to Wagnerian opera houses, African villages, and anywhere music exists - Byrne shows how music emerges from cultural circumstance as much as individual creativity. It is his magnum opus, and an impassioned argument about music's liberating, life-affirming power.

Chamber Music And Other Poems
Universally known for his groundbreaking prose - especially for the monumental novel Ulysses and its depictions of Dublin at the turn of the twentieth century - James Joyce started off as a writer of lyrical poetry, a genre which he never abandoned in his lifetime and which informs and enriches the rest of his literary production.
This volume, which includes Joyce's first published book, Chamber Music, as well as his later collection Pomes Penyeach and several other uncollected poems, reveals a lesser-known facet of the great modernist's artistic career and a glimpse into his poetical sensibility.
