Zeit

Zeit (English: Time) is the third album by the German electronic music group Tangerine Dream. A double LP, it was released in August 1972, being the first release featuring Peter Baumann, who joined then-current members Christopher Franke and Edgar Froese. Zeit is subtitled Largo in Four Movements.

Overview

The style of this album is slower and more atmospheric than their previous albums. Florian Fricke from the Munich-based group Popol Vuh, playing Moog synthesizer, and four cellists appear on the first track. The album cover depicts a solar eclipse.

As explained by Paul Russell for the 2002 reissue, "Zeit, which means 'time', was based on the philosophy that time was in fact motionless and only existed in our own minds." And concluding, "Without doubt Zeit is a Krautrock master work still capable of surprises without having to shock. The album which took the band to the edge of international recognition, still sounds timeless 30 years on."

Music critics often refer to Zeit as being one of the first (or perhaps the first) examples of dark ambient music.

Zeit (song)

"Zeit" ("Time") was the German entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1997, performed in German by Bianca Shomburg.

The song was performed eleventh on the night, following Spain's Marcos Llunas with "Sin rencor" and preceding Poland's Anna Maria Jopek with "Ale jestem". At the close of voting, it had received 22 points, placing 18th in a field of 25.

The song is a ballad, written and composed by Ralph Siegel and Bernd Meinunger, with Shomburg expressing her regret at "time running through my fingers" and her desire for just a bit more time - with the implication in the lyrics being that this would save a relationship. Shomburg also recorded an English version of the song, entitled "Time".

It was succeeded as German representative at the 1998 Contest by Guildo Horn with "Guildo hat euch lieb!".

Noun

A noun (from Latin nōmen, literally meaning "name") is a word that functions as the name of some specific thing or set of things, such as living creatures, objects, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas.Linguistically, a noun is a member of a large, open part of speech whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.

Lexical categories (parts of speech) are defined in terms of the ways in which their members combine with other kinds of expressions. The syntactic rules for nouns differ from language to language. In English, nouns are those words which can occur with articles and attributive adjectives and can function as the head of a noun phrase.

History

Word classes (parts of speech) were described by Sanskrit grammarians from at least the 5th century BC. In Yāska's Nirukta, the noun (nāma) is one of the four main categories of words defined.

The Ancient Greek equivalent was ónoma (ὄνομα), referred to by Plato in the Cratylus dialog, and later listed as one of the eight parts of speech in The Art of Grammar, attributed to Dionysius Thrax (2nd century BC). The term used in Latin grammar was nōmen. All of these terms for "noun" were also words meaning "name". The English word noun is derived from the Latin term, through the Anglo-Norman noun.

Legal (Special Ed album)

Legal is the second album from the rapper Special Ed. Two singles were released from the album, "Come On, Let's Move It" and "The Mission."
