Hours may refer to:
Hours is a 2013 concept album recorded by experimental Christian rock band Falling Up. It is part of the Machine De Ella project, which includes a novel, also entitled Hours, written by lead-singer and producer, Jessy Ribordy. The project also includes their album Midnight on Earthship. Hours, along with Midnight on Earthship, is Falling Up's sixth/seventh studio album. It was released over a period of time, having started on October 9, 2012, and concluded on February 19, 2013. A new song was released every two weeks for approximately four months until all twelve tracks were digitally released to the Machine De Ella members. It is the first Falling Up album to feature the band's current guitarist, Nick Lambert, who had previously worked as a session guitarist on Your Sparkling Death Cometh.
In order to fund the creation of physical copies of both Hours and Midnight on Earthship, Falling Up launched a KickStarter. One of the bonus rewards for the funding reaching $1,000 over the minimum requirement was that an additional song would be recorded. Falling Up stated that the new song had already been written, and would be "making some interesting new connections between the story of Hours and Fangs!" The funding was reached and exceeded the minimum amount by $2,340.
Hours is the second album by Welsh rock band Funeral for a Friend. The album was released on 13 June 2005, through Atlantic and Ferret Records. The album was produced, recorded and mixed by Terry Date, with co-production by the band. Hours is notable for the band showcasing their more melodic side. The album produced four singles, "Streetcar", "Monsters", "History" and "Roses For The Dead". The album reached #12 in the UK charts going gold in exactly the same number of weeks Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation took, but spent more weeks on the top 75. It was their first album to appear on the US Billboard 200. The song "All the Rage" is featured in the video game Burnout Revenge.
The album has been released in four versions:
A special edition of the album was released with a bonus DVD containing interviews with the band and fans before the band's gig at the Give It A Name festival.
A furnace is a device used for high-temperature heating. The name derives from Greek word fornax, which means oven.
In American English and Canadian English usage, the term furnace on its own refers to the household heating systems based on a central furnace (known either as a boiler, or a heater in British English), and sometimes as a synonym for kiln, a device used in the production of ceramics. In British English, a furnace is an industrial furnace used for many things, such as the extraction of metal from ore (smelting) or in oil refineries and other chemical plants, for example as the heat source for fractional distillation columns.
The term furnace can also refer to a direct fired heater, used in boiler applications in chemical industries or for providing heat to chemical reactions for processes like cracking, and is part of the standard English names for many metallurgical furnaces worldwide.
The heat energy to fuel a furnace may be supplied directly by fuel combustion, by electricity such as the electric arc furnace, or through induction heating in induction furnaces.
Furnace is a 1972 album by reggae musician Keith Hudson. The album was re-released on 180g vinyl on 30 April 2012 by Sunspot Records.
