A CD release of one of the kind of compilation/webshows underworld occasionally do, some of which can be found at: http://www.underworldlive.com/livebroadcasts

Didn't know this existed until I glancing at Wikipedia, apparently the Sunshine soundtrack has also been released, but only on Itunes I think, must work out a way to get it and burn it to CD.

Stockhausen - Der Jahreslauf

In the chronology of Stockhausen's works, as represented by his own, numbered collection of CDs, this comes at about the point (in my opinion) where he goes from interesting to regurgitatory.

If you look at the bottom right of the cover, you will see the signature 'Vargas'. The cover uses a drawing by the 1940's pin up artist Alberto Vargas.

Wikipedia Alberto Vargas

From the wikipedia entry about the album.
"The album cover was painted by artist Alberto Vargas, known for his paintings of pin-up girls that appeared in Esquire and Playboy magazines in the 1940s and 1960s. The idea to hire Vargas came from drummer David Robinson, the band's artistic director and a collector of pin-ups. The 83-year-old Vargas had retired several years earlier but was persuaded to take the assignment by his niece, who was a fan of The Cars. The painting, depicting a girl sprawled across the hood of a car, was based on a photo shoot directed by Robinson at a Ferrari dealership. The model, coincidentally named Candy, briefly dated Robinson afterward."

His drawings, as well as being sexy, also had great style and technique. There are books published of his Playboy and Esquire work around. Pornography or art? I would say the latter, but probably quite racy for their time.

Harden My Heart and Right Kind of Love contributed to make me fall in love with music forever. (Of course, there are others, but you never really forget a first love.)
