Single-player mods

Synergy (Extol album)

Synergy is the third studio album by Norwegian Christian extreme metal band Extol. It was released in 2003 on Century Media, but was licensed to Solid State Records.

With this album, the band shifted more towards a technical death/thrash sound. The Norwegian singer-songwriter Maria Solheim performs guest vocals on "Paradigms". The session guitarist Tore Moren plays guitar solo on "Nihilism 2002" and the first solo on "Psychopath". Samuel Durling of the death industrial band Mental Destruction performs distorted vocals on "Emancipation".

The album was recorded at Top Room Studios. It was produced by Børge Finstad and was mixed at Fagerborg Studios and Top Room Studios. Morten Lund mastered the album at Masterhuset AS. The album cover was painted by Hugh Syme, who has done work for such groups as Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Rush and Fates Warning. The band says that the cover picture "illustrates the synergy effect of elements working together (monk and Death) and thus gaining strength beyond what the effect would be if all the elements would be working separately."

Liberator (album)

Liberator is the ninth album by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released in 1993. Co-founder Paul Humphreys, who had left the band four years prior, is credited as a co-writer on third single "Everyday".

The band had enjoyed a commercial renaissance with the multi-million selling UK Top 3 releases The Best of OMD (1988) and Sugar Tax (1991), but were unable to continue this run of success with Liberator: the record peaked at No. 14 on the UK Albums Chart, essentially marking a return to the realm of middling UK popularity that the group had found themselves in by 1985. None of its three singles cracked the Top 20 of the UK Singles Chart, although lead single "Stand Above Me", and follow-up "Dream of Me" did make No. 21 and No. 24 respectively. International chart positions were similar or worse, and Liberator would be the penultimate album prior to OMD's disbandment in 1996, due to a lack of public interest.

Background

Andy McCluskey had originally been influenced by World War II aircraft, the B-24 Liberator in particular. The cover art originally featured a variation of the "bomber girl" nose cone art that many of them used.

Liberator (Blake's 7)

The spaceship Liberator is a fictional starship featured in the first three seasons of the BBC television series Blake's 7.

Background

In the TV series, the Liberator was an abandoned spacecraft found drifting near Cygnus Alpha. It was equipped with powerful weapons, force field protection, and a system of "battle computers". The ship was originally built by a race of beings known as "The System". The System referred to the ship as DSV2 ("Deep Space Vehicle 2"), a designation that suggests it was specifically designed for long-range forays outside the territory controlled by The System, and confirming more than one such ship had ever been made. It had at least one sister ship, which was destroyed by Orac in the episode "Redemption" (it is never clarified if the sister ship that Roj Blake encountered was DSV1).

The ship was controlled by an advanced AI computer calling itself Zen. Although it is not at the time clear whether this was the computer's official name, during the episode "Redemption" the System's controllers, (referred to as "Altas"), had boarded the ship and also referred to the computer as Zen.

Liberator (magazine)

Liberator is a radical liberal United Kingdom magazine associated with but not officially connected to the Liberal Democrats. Founded in 1970 as the magazine of the then Young Liberals, it has often published articles critical of the party leadership, in particular over the Liberal Party's debacle over nuclear disarmament in 1986, the merger of the Liberal Party and Social Democratic Party and the Tony Blair-Paddy Ashdown project.

Previous editors include Peter Hain in 1973-75, later a Labour MP. Since 1982, the magazine has been edited by an editorial collective, whose former members include Liz Barker, now a Liberal Democrat peer. The magazine merged with Radical Bulletin, mostly topical and distinctly off-message news, in 1983.

Regular features include a column by the fictional peer Lord Bonkers who "was Liberal MP for Rutland South-West between 1906 and 1910. Since 1990 his diaries have appeared in Liberator magazine, giving a unique perspective on British politics. Lord Bonkers' Diary is dictated to Jonathan Calder".
