--BACKTO BEDLAM--
James Blunt came onto the scene in 2005 with the release of this first album, the highly impressive 'BackTo Bedlam'. Ex Army Captain, and guard at Buckingham Palace, Blunt totally changed his direction in life, to pour out his heart to music with the release of his hugely romantic and heartfelt debut album.
I first heard the track 'You're Beautiful' playing on the radio and I wondered who the singer was, as I really liked the track. I then bought the album on the strength of it. I think a lot of people did the same. 'You're beautiful' really is an absolutely stunning song and I needed to own a copy of the album so I could play this track whenever I liked, and probably on repeat. -
James Blunts first single release was 'High' in Oct 2004, which reached 148 in the charts, though I don't remember hearing ...
Advantages: Excellent plot, Some laughs Disadvantages: None
the first time journey and helps out with filming the historic event while the doc remote controls the car (like 007). Time travel occurs once the car reaches a certain speed - 88mph. The experiment was abruptly ended when some Libyans who stole some plutonium for the doc (for powering the time machine - but the Libyans thought they were getting an atom bomb (?!)) came back for revenge and killed the doc. To escape from the pursuers Marty drove the Delorean inadvertently breaking the speed barrier - and arriving at 1955 which was the day doc had the idea of the flux capacitor which apparently is an integral part of the time travelling car. During this little adventure Marty bumped into his mum - before she met her eventual husband and Marty's dad! Will Marty even make it backto 1985? How will they find the energy topower the Delorean? What ...
Advantages: Very fun and entertaining from start to finish Disadvantages: None
Backto the Future in a science fiction adventure made in 1985 directed by Robert Zemeckis (who also directed Forrest Gump) and stars Michael J. Fix and Christopher Lloyd.
Marty McFly (Fox) is an ordinary 17yr old, except for one thing; he has a rather eccentric friend, Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown (Lloyd). One night, he invites him to the local mall in the middle of the night. Marty, being curious, agrees. When he arrives he is met by Doc, who shows him a modified DeLorean car which he says has been made into a time machine. It uses Plutonium to create a nuclear reaction that to generate the power needed to travel through time, and this will only happen once the car reaches 88 miles an hour. Doc shows Marty the time circuits and programs in 1955. Suddenly Libyan terrorists arrive, looking for their Plutonium. They kill Doc, so Marty jumps ...

Album Notes
Tower Of Power: Lenny Williams (vocals); Bruce Conte (guitar, background vocals); Emillo Castillo (tenor saxophone, background vocals); Lenny Pickett (flute, piccolo, soprano, alto, tenor, & bass saxophone); Steve Kupka (baritone saxophone, English horn, background vocals); Greg Adams (trumpet, flugelhorn, bells, background vocals); Mic Gillette (trumpet, flugelhorn, trombones, background vocals); Chester Thompson (keyboards, background vocals); Francis Rocco Prestia (bass); Brent Byars (congas); David Garibaldi (drums); Paying tribute to their hometown, Tower Of Power's BACK TO OAKLAND is a landmark in the group's history. Sporting the syncopated instrumental "Oakland Stroke" that bookends the disc, this set is the very definition of the Tower Of Power sound and style, powered by both the ultra-funky rhythm section and the world-renowned Tower Of Power horns. Vocalist Lenny Williams is the guiding light through R&B-flavored cuts like the bouncing "Don't Change Horses (In the Middle of the Stream)" and the dramatic ballad "Just When We Start Makin' It." It's the signature instrumental "Squib Cakes," however, that opens the floodgates to all the funky power that the band can muster; it's the group's premiere showcase, with hearty contributions from keyboardist Chester Thompson, drummer David Garibaldi, and the entire stellar horn section.
