Moore Lorrie Terrific Mother
Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. Adrienne is living in a puritanical age, when the best compliment a childless woman can get is: ‘You’d make a terrific mother’. That’s when she goes to her friends’ Labor Day picnic and accidentally kills their baby. The shock of this scene is expertly packed into two brief paragraphs. What follows is Adrienne’s retreat from life and her attempt to return to it. Her sharp scepticism about the people around her is achingly funny. Yet beyond derision there is forgiveness and something along the lines of love. Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Виниловая пластинка Gary Moore. A Different Beat. Transparent Orange (2 LP)
Трек-лист: Side A: 1. Go On Home 2. Lost In Your Love 3. Worry No More 4. Fire Side B: 5. Surrender 6. House Full of Blues 7. Bring My Baby Back Side C: 8. Can't Help Myself 9. Fatboy 10. We Want Love Side D: 11. Can't Help MyselfОписание:Виниловая пластинка Gary Moore – A Different Beat - переиздание студийного альбома ирландского гитариста и певца, изданный в 1999 году. A Different Beat - это экспериментальный альбом, так как здесь Moore впервые серьёзно увлёкся электронным звучанием. Сочетание пронзительной соло-гитары с жёстким брейкбитом может быть расценено и как смелый шаг вперёд, и желание порвать со старыми штампами. Однако в последующих своих альбомах Gary Moore вернулся к характерному блюз-року, эксперименты с электроникой не стали для него тенденцией.
