At 87 and with an impressive career spanning more than seven decades, Willie Nelson really needs no introduction. Heroes is a testament to his status as a rebel of country music: a beautiful collection of popular pop-country songs, covers of classic songs from the 30's & 40's and new songs.
A New Chapter of Dub, released in 1982, went on to receive critical acclaim and is considered to be one of the greatest dub albums of all time. Known for its shuddering bass and reverberated brass, as well as the traditional dub use of delay, drop-outs and echo, the album became a landmark in its genre.
Black Heat is the eponymous debut studio album by American funk group Black Heat. Released in The Golden Age of Soul, the album is filled with hard-driving, meaningful songs that truly pack a groovy punch.
Upon release in 1971, Africa's Blood was the first record Lee “Scratch” Perry released under his own name, although his band The Upsetters do appear on most of the tracks. There's an undeniable influence from American contemporary R&B, but still Perry's signature dub and reggae fusion shines through.
Stain (1993) is the third album by Living Colour. The album features a much heavier and aggressive Living Colour, containing elements of thrash metal and industrial music
Magnum II is the eponymous second studio album by English hard rock band Magnum. Originally released in 1979, the album highlights the band's trademark harmonies and punchy instrumentals very well.

Their first full album Chain Gang of Love followed in 2003, and it quickly gained recognition as lead single “That Great Love Sound” was featured on the soundtrack of FIFA 2004.
The Nest is a 2020 thriller film, which tells the story of a family plunged into uncertainty upon relocation from America to England, as the tense isolation of their new home affects them differently.
