Music in the Universe is the second studio album by the instrumental rock band Zodiac, released in 1982. The disc is designed in the space rock style. The front side of the envelope has two versions - with the image of the band members in spacesuits on the background of the cover (most likely a limited edition or export version), and without the image of the band members. On the reverse side of the disc there is an introductory speech by A. Baumanis. The compositions "Laser Illumination", "Silver Dream", "In the Light of Saturn" and "Flight over El Dorado" were written for the short documentary "Star Palette", where they were used in parts. The song "The Other Side of the Sky" was originally called "Karate", but the subsequent persecution of this sport forced the name of the track to be changed. The track "Mysterious Galaxy" was used in the animated film "The Meeting" (1984, produced by Kyivnauchfilm), in the TV show "Sportloto", as well as in the program "Search" on Russian Radio. According to the Melodiya company, 1,703,800 copies of the record were sold by August 26, 1983.
The vinyl record is in new condition - NMINT/ARCHIVE. The cover is matte in top condition with conditional traces of storage - NMINT/ARCHIVE.

GENESIS-WIND AND WUTHERING-1976-THE FIRST UK PRESS-CHARISMA - CDS4005. Matrixes A-2/B-3. A rare British original of the cult band. Wind and Wuthering is the eighth studio album by the English progressive rock band Genesis. It was released on December 17, 1976 on Charisma Records and is their last studio album featuring guitarist Steve Hackett. After the success of their 1976 tour in support of their previous album, A Trick of the Tail, the band moved to Hilvarenbeek in the Netherlands to record their next album, their first recorded outside the UK. Writing and recording caused internal friction, as Hackett felt that some of his contributions had been rejected in favor of material by keyboardist Tony Banks. The album received a positive response from critics and boosted the band's popularity in the United States. It reached No. 7 in the UK and No. 26 in the US and sold steadily, eventually receiving Gold Certification from the British Phonographic Institute and the Recording Industry Association of America. The single "Your Own Special Way" became the band's first single on the US charts, peaking at 62nd place. ...more
