Musical style

Ratt’s music is influenced by 1970s hard rock and glam rock bands such as Aerosmith, Sweet, Led Zeppelin, and Kiss, They fused this with heavy metal influences from the likes of Van Halen and Judas Priest.

Though they later incorporated more of a blues-rock sound into their music, the band was one of the first glam metal style groups that appeared in the early 1980s in California. Their image bore similarities to that of Rough Cutt, which had several members who where previously in Mickey Ratt, which became Ratt. More

Electro house is a subgenre of house music that rose to become one of the most prominent genres of electronic dance music today. Stylistically, it combines the four to the floor beats commonly found in house music with harmonically rich analogue basslines, abrasive high-pitched leads and the occasional piano or string riff. The tempo of electro house ranges approximately from 120 to 135 bpm. Dirty house is a derivative of electro house, which is often much more commercial in its appeal and in general features more vocals. Electrotech is a darker variation of electro house mixed with the sound of tech house.

The use of the word “electro” to describe this style of modern house music is contentious, and creates an ambiguity between electro house and classic electro, with which it bears little resemblance.[1]

Roots

The most obvious precursor to the modern electro house scene is the electroclash movement of the early 2000s; largely a re-run of the early 1980s synth pop sound, but deliberately made cruder and more raw-sounding than the primitive records on which it was based.^[2] More recently, some of the artists and labels involved with the sound, such as Crosstown Rebels, have found a new direction in electro house.^[3] Some artists associated with the electroclash movement, such as Felix da Housecat, noticeably used elements of house in their music at the time and have since come to be seen as highly influential.^[4] French house has also been considered an influence.

Previously and concurrent to electroclash, tech house was developing. Traditionally, the most noticeable influences of tech house were from Detroit techno, such as sweeping strings and 909 beats, but it developed a dirtier sound in the early 2000s, owing largely to a trend of acid house revival,^[2] shown by artists such as David Duriez and the Brique Rouge label.^[5] Another profound house artist from the past, Satoshi Tomiie, has helped to shape the typical sound of electro house by adding his own blend of NY-groove styled musical elements to further influence and enhance the musical sound of this genre. His influence on electro house begins back in the 1989 with the affiliation to the famous high-society DJ Frankie Knuckles and Satoshi Tomiie is still currently playing a substantial role in the composition of the electro house sound.^{[citation needed]}

In 2003 some tribal house DJs such as Steve Lawler, while previously associated with the darker-hued sounds of progressive house, began to use analogue basslines, starting a sound dubbed ‘dirty tribal’.^[6] Concurrently, the breakbeat scene was creating similar sounds with the popular tech-funk style. It was around this time that electro house properly began to emerge. More

Symphony: Live in Vienna is a live concert by Sarah Brightman, inspired by her Symphony album. It was originally only available as a premium for a donation to the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the United States. A lower-level donation would yield a free copy of the DVD, and a higher-level donation would yield a set containing both the DVD and a companion CD.

The 75-minute concert was recorded on 16 January 2008 at the Cathedral Stephensdom in Vienna. The audience consisted of a small group of invited guests and members of Sarah Brightman’s official website’s fan area, to whom free tickets were made available.

Recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound, the DVD has over 40 minutes of special features. They include a photo gallery, two separate interviews with Sarah concerning the production and the songs of Symphony, and an interview with Father Anthony Faber and historian Elisabeth Lloyd-Davis focusing on the location of the concert.

The CD in the CD/DVD package also has a special bonus not available elsewhere — a studio recording of Sarah performing “Vide Cor Meum” by Patrick Cassidy. The CD-only edition hasn’t got any bonus track.

The CD and the CD/DVD package were released on 10 March 2009. The DVD includes a picture gallery with pictures from the concert, two interviews with Brightman, as well as an interview about the cathedral with Father Anthony Faber and historian Elisabeth Lloyd-Jones.[1] More
