Frantic is the eleventh studio album by British singer Bryan Ferry, the former lead vocalist for Roxy Music. It was released on Virgin Records in 2002. The majority of tracks were produced by the team of Rhett Davies, Colin Good, and Bryan Ferry; David A. Stewart and Robin Trower also co-produced several tracks.

Critical reception

Reviewing for AllMusic critic, Tim DiGravina wrote of the album "Some listeners might suggest that an album this varied has an identity crisis, but with [these] standout tracks as glorious as the Dylan covers and the Eno closer, Frantic is a fascinating addition to Bryan Ferry's accomplished discography." And reviewing for PopMatters critic, David Medsker wrote of the album "Frantic may play like a greatest hits album, with bits here recalling Boys & Girls and songs there echoing late Roxy, and it may rank in the middle to upper of the pack of his overall body of work. But it's the most cohesive album he's done in ages. Given how down and out he appeared to be, the fact that Frantic is more than half good is cause for joy."

"@" (album)

"@" is a studio album by John Zorn and Thurston Moore. It is the first collaborative album by the duo and was recorded in New York City in February, 2013 and released by Tzadik Records in September 2013. The album consists of improvised music by Zorn and Moore that was recorded in the studio in real time with no edits or overdubs.

Reception

Allmusic said "@ finds two of New York City's longest-running fringe dwellers churning out sheets of collaborative sounds that conjoin their respective and distinct states of constant freak-out... These seven improvisations sound inspired without feeling at all heavy-handed or urgent. More so, @ succeeds with the type of conversational playing that could only be achieved by two masters so deep into their craft that it probably feels a lot like breathing to them by now".

Album

Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at 33 ¹⁄₃ rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century albums sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used in the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl.

An album may be recorded in a recording studio (fixed or mobile), in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to several years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, so as to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", allow for reverberation, which creates a "live" sound. The majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.

Frantic (Left Behind: The Kids)

It covers volumes 20-22 in the Left Behind: The Kids series, which tells about the lives of people living in the end of the world. It is book six of the twelve-book series, and was published in 2004. This novel starts when strange, demon locusts are trying to get into the Young Trib Force hideout. The Christians there know that they are safe from the locusts, but the unbelievers are not. The locusts can sting non-believers, but they cannot kill them. Will the believers be able to stop the locusts from stinging their friends?

In Israel, Judd Thompson Jr. was on a plane when the locusts appear. When he finds out that nobody on the plane is a true believer in Christ, he thinks of a plan to get the people off the plane safely. Will he be able to save the passengers from the locusts, or will they have to endure unimaginable pain from the demons' deadly stings?

Nicolae Carpathia shows his evil ways as he blames this judgment from God, once again, on the Christians. Everyday, Nicolae gets more and more famous, but also more and more a threat to the Christians. The people all around the world panic as the demons sting their victims one by one. The Young Trib Force risk their lives to help others learn the truth while they avoid the tightening grip of the Global Community forces.
