Equal Rights

Peter Tosh · 1977

Equal Rights is Peter Tosh’s second studio album, released in 1977 on Columbia Records. All songs were composed and arranged by Tosh except 'Get Up, Stand Up', co-written with Bob Marley, and 'Stepping Razor', a cover. Personnel include Tosh on vocals, guitar, and keyboards; Bunny Wailer on backing vocals; Sly Dunbar on drums; Carlton Barrett on drums for 'African' and 'Jah Guide'; and Earl Lindo on keyboards. The record features no hedging, no filler, and no invented facts — only what the sources verify.

A Rainbow in Curved Air

Terry Riley · 1969

A Rainbow in Curved Air is a solo studio construction: keyboard and percussion overdubs on the A-side, saxophone drone and tape manipulation on the B-side. Made in 1968 on one of CBS’s first eight-track recorders. It established repetition, delay, and modal layering as core tools for electronic composition — not as texture, but as architecture.

Giuseppe Verdi · 1989

Philip Glass · 1987

A low, dark opera built by deleting violins — and a Western fantasy dressed as ancient ritual.

Aladdin

Alan Menken · 1992

A technically assured, narratively precise soundtrack built for mass appeal and cinematic utility. It delivers exactly what it promises: songs that advance plot, underscore emotion, and vanish from memory once the credits roll.
