Ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York in 1987 , Wolpe is a leader in Conservative Judaism .

neg: The Anglican Digest The Anglican Digest is a quarterly religious magazine which provides devotional material , book reviews , and other information related to Anglicanism . It is published by SPEAK , the Society for Promoting and Encouraging Arts and Knowledge ( of the Church ) , which was founded as the Episcopal Book Club in 1953 by Howard Lane Foland , an Episcopal priest in Nevada , Missouri . Since 1960 , it has been based on a former dairy farm in the Ozarks called Hillspeak near Eureka Springs , Arkansas .   When it began in 1958 , it described itself as `` A quarterly miscellany reflecting the words and work of the Churches of the Anglican Communion :  some things old  many things new  most things borrowed  everything true . ''   James B. Simpson became executive director after its founder retired in 1980 . At that time , it reported a paid circulation of over 100,000 worldwide . By 1989 , subscriptions had increased to almost 250,000 with six issues per year . However , in 2012 it reported 45,000 readers .   Edward L. Salmon , Jr. chaired the publication 's board for 41 years .

neg: Mal Couch Malcom Ollie `` Mal '' Couch , Jr. ( July 12 , 1938 , Dallas , Texas , USA -- February 12 , 2013 ) was the founder and first president of the Tyndale Theological Seminary . He was a pastor , an author of many books , and wrote 40 documentaries on Bible prophecies and biblical issues . While president of Tyndale Theological Seminary Couch recruited some very well known scholars and Bible teachers to teach the student body . Dr. Norman Geisler , Dr. Paige Patterson , Dr. Robert Lightner , Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum , and Paul Enns were used in the educational endeavors at Tyndale Seminary . After Dr. Couch retired from Tyndale Seminary he became a Vice President of the Scofield Graduate School and Seminary located in Modesto , California .   Couch was part of the Pre-Trib Study Research Group that was founded by Tim LaHaye and Thomas Ice . He was also a member of Tyndale Seminary 's Conservative Theological Society .

neg: Vayoel Moshe Vayoel Moshe is a Hebrew book written by Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum , leader of the Satmar Hasidic movement , in 1961 . It made his case that Judaism is against Zionism .   The name of the book is a statement in the bible that also notates his name and his grandfather 's name -- Joel and Moshe respectively . However , he had other reasons for this naming as well . The source for the title is Exodus 2:21 , `` And Moses agreed to stay ... an alien in a foreign land . ''   This book is considered one of utmost importance by Satmar Hasidim and many Haredim who follow the Satmar doctrine regarding Zionism . Satmar Hasidism has many institutions , buildings and neighborhoods named after it .   It is primarily a book of Halacha , Jewish law . However , it draws on Rabbinic Jewish philosophy as well .   Although it did not originate with him , before World War II most Hasidic rabbis , as well as some other prominent Orthodox rabbis opposed Zionism . While others had written about the issue in other publications - Torah commentaries and books of Halacha - Rabbi Teitelbaum was the first to write a book specifically about this subject .

neg: Gaston B. Cashwell Gaston Barnibus Cashwell ( 1860 -- 1916 ) was an early Pentecostal leader in the southern United States . He was born in Sampson County , North Carolina . His importance lies in bringing several Holiness movements into the Pentecostal camp .   G. B. Cashwell first became a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church , South , and later joined the Holiness Church of North Carolina in 1903 . In November 1906 , he traveled to Los Angeles to visit the Pentecostal revival at the Azusa Street mission . In early December , he had an experience that he believed to be the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the evidence of speaking in tongues . Upon returning to Dunn , North Carolina , on December 31 , 1906 , Cashwell preached the Pentecostal experience in the local Holiness church . Interest in the Pentecostal experience was so great that he rented a local tobacco warehouse and began a month-long crusade . A revival broke out in North Carolina , especially in the holiness movement . Most of the ministers of the Pentecostal Holiness Church , the Fire-Baptized Holiness Church and the Holiness Free Will Baptist Churches were swept into Pentecostalism by this revival . Over the next six months , he toured the south preaching `` Pentecost '' . His zeal and influence in spreading Pentecostalism through the south has earned him the title of the Apostle of Pentecost to the South .   In the summer of 1907 , Cashwell brought the message of Pentecost to evangelists H. G. Rodgers and M. M. Pinson , who carried the message to Alabama , Florida , Georgia , and Mississippi . Later they would lead these churches into the Assemblies of God . Through Rodgers and Pinson , A. J. Tomlinson of the Church of God in Cleveland , Tennessee heard of Cashwell 's message and invited him to Cleveland . On January 12 , 1908 , following a sermon by Cashwell , Tomlinson fell to the floor . He professed to receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost and speaking in at least ten different languages .   In October 1907 , Cashwell started a publication in Atlanta , Georgia called The Bridegroom 's Messenger . The periodical was created to spread the Pentecostal message over the country through a combination of sermons , articles , editorials , and testimonies . He edited it for a year before returning fully to his evangelistic efforts . The magazine was later taken over by Paul and Hattie Barth , who organized the International Pentecostal Assemblies ( now International Pentecostal Church of Christ ) .   Although the influence of Cashwell was strong , his time of association with the Pentecostal movement was for a brief period of three years - from his `` conversion '' in 1906 until his departure from the Pentecostal Holiness Church in 1909 . In 1910 and afterward , his name no longer appeared in the roster of ministers belonging to the Pentecostal Holiness Church . Cashwell distanced himself from `` Pentecostalism '' , rejoined the Methodist church , and died from a heart-attack in 1916 .   Cashwell 's apostleship of Pentecostalism in the south influenced many denominations . About a dozen existing Pentecostal bodies can trace their Pentecostal heritage directly or at least in part to Gaston B. Cashwell , including :   Assemblies of God USA  Church of God ( Cleveland )  Church of God of Prophecy  Congregational Holiness Church  International Pentecostal Church of Christ  International Pentecostal Holiness Church  Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church

neg: Theodicy and the Bible Theodicy , in its most common form , is the attempt to answer the question of why a good God permits the manifestation of evil . Theodicy attempts to resolve the evidential problem of evil by reconciling the traditional divine characteristics of omnibenevolence and omnipotence , in either their absolute or relative form , with the occurrence of evil or suffering in the world . `` Writings and discourses on theodicy by Jews , Greeks , Christians , and Eastern religions have graced our planet for thousands of years , '' and `` debates about theodicy continue among believers and unbelievers alike '' .   Theodicy is an `` intensely urgent '' and `` constant concern '' of `` the entire Bible '' . Relating theodicy and the Bible is crucial to understanding Abrahamic theodicy because the Bible `` has been , both in theory and in fact , the dominant influence upon ideas about God and evil in the Western world '' . The Bible raises the issue of theodicy by its portrayals of God as inflicting evil and by its accounts of people who question God 's goodness by their angry indictments . However , the Bible `` contains no comprehensive theodicy '' .   `` The most common theodicy is the free will theodicy . '' It lays the blame for all moral evil and some natural evil on humanity 's misuse of its free will . This article shows that the free will theodicy interacts with the Bible at its core : what Jesus and Paul say about the freedom of the will and with what kind of freedom of the will God endowed humanity at the Creation .

neg: Sunset Boulevard (film) Sunset Boulevard ( stylized onscreen as SUNSET BLVD. ) is a 1950 American film noir directed and co-written by Billy Wilder , and produced and co-written by Charles Brackett . It was named after the boulevard that runs through Los Angeles and Beverly Hills , California .   The film stars William Holden as Joe Gillis , an unsuccessful screenwriter , and Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond , a faded silent film star who draws him into her fantasy world where she dreams of making a triumphant return to the screen , with Erich von Stroheim as Max Von Mayerling , her devoted servant . Nancy Olson , Fred Clark , Lloyd Gough and Jack Webb play supporting roles . Director Cecil B. DeMille and gossip columnist Hedda Hopper play themselves , and the film includes cameo appearances by leading silent film actors Buster Keaton , H. B. Warner and Anna Q. Nilsson .   Praised by many critics when first released , Sunset Boulevard was nominated for eleven Academy Awards ( including nominations in all four acting categories ) and won three . Deemed `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' by the U.S. Library of Congress in 1989 , Sunset Boulevard was included in the first group of films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry . In 1998 , it was ranked number twelve on the American Film Institute 's list of the 100 best American films of the 20th century , and in 2007 , it was 16th on their 10th Anniversary list .

neg: General judgment General judgment is the Christian theological concept of a judgment of the dead by nation and as a whole . It is related closely to Judgment Day and often is just another phrase for the Last Judgment or Final Judgement , but is not necessarily part of any eschatology . It is generally contrasted with a particular judgment right after death .   The position is hinted at in several places in the Old Testament and in the New , and the Catholic Encyclopedia says ( here referring to the Last Judgment ) `` Few truths are more often or more clearly proclaimed in Scripture than that of the general judgment '' . When the individual dies , general judgment holds that the person 's final dispensation will await the general judgment of the dead at the end of the world , rather than be judged immediately . Additionally , `` general judgment '' may refer not only to the judging of each person , but also to the judgment of nations and peoples .   The concept of Last Judgment is similar but unique . Various Last Judgment scenarios represent different forms of a general judgment , such as a global last judgment or a national last judgment . It is more concerned with the depictions and descriptions of particular versions .   Jesus provided examples and illustrations of judgments against cities and generations . Jesus warned his contemporaries that the men of Nineveh , who repented at the preaching of Jonah , and the Queen of the South would testify against them in the judgment . In the context of dispatching emissaries , Jesus asked them to shake off the dust of cities that would not receive them . In the same speech , Jesus declared woes upon the cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida declaring that the cities of Sodom , Tyre , and Sidon would have a more tolerable outcome in the judgement .

neg: Polity of the Seventh-day Adventist Church The governance ( polity ) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is based on democratic representation , and therefore resembles the Presbyterian system of church organization . The organizational structure of the church consists of the following levels :  The global church is called the `` General Conference '' , composed operatively of 13 `` Divisions '' .  Each division is composed of `` Union Conferences '' and/or `` Union Missions '' ( 112 total ) . Union Conferences are self-supporting financially , while Union Missions are not .  Each union conference is composed of -LSB- local -RSB- `` Conferences '' and/or `` Missions '' ( 572 total ) . Local Conferences are self-supporting financially , while Local Missions are not . Certain unions are composed of local congregations . They do not have local conferences/missions .  Each local conference/mission is composed of local churches ( congregations ) . Often a number of local congregations are grouped operatively as a district , led by one senior pastor . In the United States , these numbers tend to be smaller ( 2-4 churches per district , perhaps ) , while in most of the worldwide church , the numbers tend to be larger ( 5 + per district and per pastor , sometimes as many as 15 or more ) .   Each level of organization holds a `` general session '' at certain intervals , when elected representatives gather to vote on general decisions and church business . The president of the General Conference , for instance , is elected at the General Conference Session every five years .   At the local churches , decisions are made by elected committees through vote of members . The day-to-day running of churches is governed by a church board formed by members of that church , together with the pastor of that congregation .   In contrast to congregational polity , the conference corporation owns church property , employs and pays ministers , and receives tithes from members . In contrast to episcopal polity , the ministers or pastors are a single level of ordained clergy and there are no bishops ; elders and deacons are lay ministries . Moreover , it incorporates a hierarchical polity .   A 2002 survey of Adventists worldwide showed three quarters `` affirm the structure , polity , and financial policies of the church . ''

neg: Examination of conscience Examination of conscience is a review of one 's past thoughts , words , actions , and omissions for the purpose of ascertaining their conformity with , or deviation from , the moral law . Among Christians , this is generally a private review ; secular intellectuals have , on occasion , published autocritiques for public consumption . In the Catholic Church penitents who wish to receive the sacrament of penance are encouraged to examine their conscience using the Ten Commandments as a guide , or the Beatitudes , or the virtues and vices . A similar doctrine is taught in Lutheran churches , where penitents who wish to receive Holy Absolution are also asked to use the Ten Commandments as a guide . The process is very similar to the Islamic practice of Muhasaba , or self-reflection .   `` The excellence of this practice and its fruitfulness for Christian virtue , '' preached Pope St. Pius X , `` are clearly established by the teaching of the great masters of the spiritual life . '' St. Ignatius of Loyola considered the examination of conscience as the single most important spiritual exercise . In his Spiritual Exercises he presents different forms of it in the particular and general examination ( 24-43 ) . Of the general examination he writes ; `` The first point is to give thanks to God our Lord for the favors received '' ( 43 ) . This point has become a highly developed part of Ignatian spirituality in modern times , and has led to many more positive practices , generally called examen of consciousness . In twice-daily `` examens '' one might review the ways God has been present through one to others , and to oneself through others , and how one has responded , and to proceed with one 's day with gratitude , more aware of the presence of God in one 's life .   In general , there is a distinction between the particular examen , which aims to change one particular feature or defect in ones behavior , the examen of consciousness , which is a more nuanced reflection , and the general examination of conscience as used before the sacrament of penance . '' This last method is called examination of conscience because it is a review of one 's actions from a moral point of view , reflecting upon one 's responsibility and looking at one 's sins and weaknesses in preparation for repentance , in contrast with the examen of consciousness which does not focus on morality even if sins will emerge during the review of the day .

neg: Religious qualifications for public office in the United States Religious qualifications for public office in the United States have always been prohibited at the national level of the federal system of government under the Constitution . Article VI of the Constitution of the United States declares that `` no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States '' . The First Amendment of the Constitution also prevents the Congress of the United States from making any law `` respecting an establishment of religion '' ( the Establishment Clause ) .   Neither the First Amendment nor Article VI , however , were originally applied to the individual states , and individual restrictions were utilized by individual states to prevent Jews , Catholics , and atheists from occupying public offices . State-level requirements for public office were not entirely abolished until 1961 , when the Supreme Court of the United States struck down religious qualifications for all public officeholders in its decision in Torcaso v. Watkins , a case concerning an atheist 's right to serve as a notary public under a Maryland law requiring public officials to declare they believed in God . However , eight states still have language in their constitutions that requires such qualifications .

neg: Gedaliah Silverstone Rabbi George ( Gedaliah ) Silverstone ( born 1871 in Jasionowka , Russian Empire − died 1944 in Jerusalem , Mandatory Palestine ) was a prominent Orthodox rabbi and author in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century .   Gedaliah ben Isiah Meir Zylbersztejn was born in 1871 in a shtetl in what is now Poland , where his maternal grandfather was the rabbi . At the age of two , he moved to Sakot , Kovno Governorate , where his father served as a rabbi . Young Gedaliah studied in the yeshivot in Ruzhany and Telz until 1891 , when his father moved his family to Liverpool , England , where his name was anglicized . Silverstone was appointed the rabbi of the Belfast Hebrew Congregation in 1901 . He visited America in 1905 to sell his books . The following year he decided to settle there because he could not support his large family in the United Kingdom and he was appointed rabbi of Ohev Sholom Congregation in Washington , D.C. . He simultaneously served Kesher Israel Congregation in Georgetown after it was organized in 1911 . Silverstone , a popular rabbi , was on good terms with his congregants .   As opposed to other American rabbis of the period , his publishing endeavors were supported by the community at large and he issued pamphlets of sermons on an almost annual basis . He had little difficulty in attracting benefactors to defray the publishing costs . Rabbi Dov Ber Manischewitz of Cincinnati and Noah ( Nathan ? ) Musher were among his patrons and he repeatedly reported that his works were eagerly sought after by preachers . He generally published only sermons because he knew that most American Jews would not read his more scholarly works and because `` many rabbis and sages from other countries write to me that my approach to Aggadah is the only one that can be used to influence the masses and lure them to their Father in heaven '' ( Mesamhai Lev , St. Louis , 1925 , pp. 5 -- 6 ) . A vocal opponent of non-Orthodox synagogues , seminaries and rabbis , his sermons contain many polemical statements .   He later sent two of his sons to study in Jerusalem and , after visiting the Land of Israel ( ca. 1921 ) , he announced that he would soon be immigrating there ( Darke be-Kodesh , St. Louis , 1922 , pp. 4 , 6 ) . Though he was unable to carry out his plans right away ( Doresh Tov , St. Louis , 1923 , p. 5 ) , he did visit again within a year , this time together with Rabbi Zevi Hirsch Masliansky .   He finally settled in Jaffa by the end of the summer of 1923 and he was invited to preach a number of times at the Neveh Tzedek synagogue . A few months later , however , he was compelled to return to Washington because his wife became ill . Attempts to settle in Safed in 1936 and in Jerusalem between 1938 and 1939 failed as well and he returned to America each time . He returned once more a few years later , this time remaining until his death in 1944 . He was buried on the Mount of Olives .

neg: Mormons Mormons ( -LSB- ˈmɔrmənz -RSB- ) are a religious and cultural group related to Mormonism , the principal branch of the Latter Day Saint movement of Restorationist Christianity , initiated by Joseph Smith in upstate New York during the 1820s . After Smith 's death in 1844 , the Mormons followed Brigham Young to what would become the Utah Territory . Today , most Mormons are understood to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( LDS Church ) . Some Mormons are also either independent or non-practicing . The center of Mormon cultural influence is in Utah , and North America has more Mormons than any other continent , though the majority of Mormons live outside the United States .   Mormons have developed a strong sense of communality that stems from their doctrine and history . During the 19th century , Mormon converts tended to gather to a central geographic location , and between 1852 and 1890 a minority of Mormons openly practiced plural marriage , a form of religious polygamy . Mormons dedicate large amounts of time and resources to serving in their church , and many young Mormons choose to serve a full-time proselytizing mission . Mormons have a health code which eschews alcoholic beverages , tobacco , coffee , tea , and other addictive substances . They tend to be very family-oriented , and have strong connections across generations and with extended family , reflective of their belief that families can be sealed together beyond death . Mormons also have a strict law of chastity , requiring abstention from sexual relations outside of heterosexual marriage and fidelity within marriage .   Mormons self-identify as Christian , although some non-Mormons consider Mormons non-Christian and some of their beliefs differ from mainstream Christianity . Mormons believe in the Bible , as well as other books of scripture , such as the Book of Mormon . They have a unique view of cosmology , and believe that all people are spirit-children of God . Mormons believe that returning to God requires following the example of Jesus Christ , and accepting his atonement through ordinances such as baptism . They believe that Christ 's church was restored through Joseph Smith and is guided by living prophets and apostles . Central to Mormon faith is the belief that God speaks to his children and answers their prayers .   Due to their high birth and conversion rates , the Mormon population has grown significantly in recent decades . The number of members in 1971 was 3,090,953 and now in 2017 based on the Annual Report , there are 15,882,417 worldwide .

neg: Prophecy in the Seventh-day Adventist Church Seventh-day Adventists believe that Ellen G. White , one of the church 's co-founders , was a prophet , understood today as an expression of the New Testament spiritual gift of prophecy .   Seventh-day Adventist believe that White had the spiritual gift of prophecy , but that her writings are inferior to the Bible , which has ultimate authority . According to the 28 Fundamentals the core set of theological beliefs held by the Seventh-day Adventist Church , states that Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and can be read online on the website of the Seventh-day Adventist Church .   The 18 of the 28 Fundamentals states the Adventists viewpoint on the Gift of Prophecy :  `` One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy . This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and was manifested in the ministry of Ellen . G. White . As the Lord 's messenger , her writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth which provide for the church comfort , guidance , instruction , and correction . They also make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested . ( Joel 2:28 , 29 ; Acts 2:14 -21 ; Heb . 1:1 -3 ; Rev. 12:17 ; 19:10 . ) . ''   According to one church document , `` her expositions on any given Bible passage offer an inspired guide to the meaning of texts without exhausting their meaning or preempting the task of exegesis '' . In other words , White 's writings are considered an inspired commentary on Scripture , although Scripture remains ultimately authoritative .   Adventist believe she had the spiritual gift of prophecy as outlined in Revelation 19:10 . Her restorationist writings endeavor to showcase the hand of God in Christian history . This cosmic conflict , referred to as the `` Great Controversy theme '' , is foundational to the development of Seventh-day Adventist theology .


query: The Bends was released in the 1990's.

pos: The Bends The Bends ( stylised as the bends ) is the second studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead , released on 13 March 1995 by Parlophone Records in the United Kingdom and by Capitol Records in the United States . The album was produced by John Leckie and engineered by Nigel Godrich , who would go on to co-produce all future albums by the band . The Bends marked the beginning of a shift in aesthetics and themes for the band , with greater use of keyboards and more abrasive guitar tracks , while balancing them with subtler ones . The introspective grunge-influenced style of their debut album Pablo Honey ( 1993 ) evolved into more multi-layered rock with cryptic lyrics and larger ideas , as the band and its lead singer and songwriter Thom Yorke reacted against the rigours of their near-constant world tours .   The Bends received greater critical acclaim than Pablo Honey , receiving an enthusiastic critical reaction , and it reached # 4 on the UK Albums Chart . However , it failed to build on the commercial success of `` Creep '' outside of the United Kingdom , and it peaked on the United States charts at # 88 . Although it lacked the instant success of Radiohead 's subsequent albums , The Bends achieved triple platinum sales certifications in the UK and Canada , as well as platinum sales certifications in the United States ( by the Recording Industry Association of America ) and Europe . The album spawned five charting singles ; My Iron Lung was first released as an EP in 1994 before the album was released , and `` High and Dry '' was later released with the album 's opener `` Planet Telex '' as its B-side . `` Fake Plastic Trees '' was released as the album 's second single and was followed by `` Just '' . `` Street Spirit ( Fade Out ) '' , the final single from the album , became their first top 5 hit in the United Kingdom . In the years since its release , the album has frequently appeared in listener polls and critics ' lists of the greatest albums of all time .

neg: Corrosion of Conformity Corrosion of Conformity ( also known as C.O.C. ) is an American heavy metal band from Raleigh , North Carolina formed in 1982 . For almost the majority of its existence , the band has consisted of guitarist Woody Weatherman , bassist Mike Dean ( who left in 1987 but rejoined six years later ) , drummer Reed Mullin ( who left in 2001 but rejoined nine years later ) and vocalist and rhythm guitarist Pepper Keenan ( who joined the band in 1989 ) . After a hiatus in 2006 , Corrosion of Conformity returned in 2010 without Keenan , who had been busy touring and recording with Down , but announced their reunion with him in December 2014 .   Corrosion of Conformity started as a hardcore punk band but later moved towards a slower and blues-tinged heavy metal sound . To date , the band has released nine studio albums , four EPs , one compilation , and one live album . Their first three studio albums -- Eye for an Eye ( 1984 ) , Animosity ( 1985 ) and Blind ( 1991 ) -- attracted the attention of Columbia Records , who signed the band in 1993 . Corrosion of Conformity found success with the release of their 1994 fourth studio album , Deliverance , which peaked at number 155 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the hits `` Albatross '' and `` Clean My Wounds '' . Their 1996 follow-up Wiseblood was also successful , and became Corrosion of Conformity 's highest-charting album in the United States , peaking at number 104 on the Billboard 200 . Their latest album , IX , was released on July 1 , 2014 .

neg: Warp 10: Influences, Classics, Remixes Warp 10 is a series of compilation albums issued by Warp Records in 1999 to celebrate the label 's tenth anniversary . The collection spans three double CD/quadruple vinyl sets , which can be purchased individually . Each volume in the set highlights different phases of electronic music , including influential tracks not originally released by Warp ( licensed specifically for this collection ) , but which helped to shape the artists and musicians who eventually appeared on the label , as well as tracks that influenced the overall sound of the label itself .   Warp 10 +1 : Influences ( WARP LP/CD 67 ) contains twenty-two early acid house and techno tracks . Many of these songs are today considered to be the classics of these genres ( when they were in their infancy ) . A number of the tracks had never been available on compact disc before this collection , and seven of the twenty-two were mastered directly from 12 inch vinyl ( from such record labels as Cutting , Trax , Fourth Floor , KMS , Metroplex , 10 , Cause N ' Effect , Transmat , Plezure , and Bassic ) . Spanning the years 1986 through 1990 , the songs represented here were still very much an underground sensation in the United States , however a handful of these songs charted well on the UK singles chart and helped to usher in the acid house craze that swept across Europe in the late 1980s .  Warp 10 +2 : Classics 89 -- 92 ( WARP LP/CD 68 ) features eighteen full-length `` classic '' versions and remixes taken directly from the vaults of Warp Records . Tracks appearing here were produced between the years of 1989 and 1992 . As with Warp 10 +1 , many of these tracks appeared previously only on 12 inch vinyl or now out-of-print compilations and EPs .  Warp 10 +3 : Remixes ( WARP LP/CD 69 ) contains twenty-six remixes ( of which twenty-five are exclusive to this collection ) of tracks taken from Warp Records ' back catalog . Although all of the original recordings were released by Warp , the remixers are not necessarily Warp Records artists . The original songs span from the years 1990 through 1998 .   The album art is the Roger Stevens Building , a lecture hall for the University of Leeds built in the 1970s , and noted for its bizarre brutalist architecture . The quadruple vinyl editions of Influences and Classics 89 -- 92 come in gatefold sleeves , while that of Remixes is packaged as four separate LPs in sleeves inside a hard box .   In a 2013 article for Fact Magazine , Simon Reynolds noted that Warp 10 +2 : Classics 89 -- 92 remains one of the only compilations that covers the `` bleep techno '' of the early 1990s : '' -LSB- D -RSB- espite its time-defying excellence , bleep is poorly served in terms of compilations : basically , there 's Warp 's Classics double CD , plus out-of-print comps from the original era .

neg: New Order discography The discography of New Order , an English rock band , consists of ten studio albums , twelve compilation albums , three live albums , five extended plays ( EPs ) , thirty-eight singles , twelve video releases , thirty-three music videos and a number of soundtrack appearances . New Order were formed in 1980 by singer and guitarist Bernard Sumner , bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris . The group began life as a continuation of their former incarnation Joy Division . Joy Division had disbanded after the death of the lead singer Ian Curtis . Gillian Gilbert , who was Morris ' girlfriend at the time , soon joined the group and played guitar and keyboards .   Remarkably , New Order 's first eight singles released between 1981 and 1984 were not taken from any album . In most cases they were not even released as a 7-inch , but exclusively available in the radio-unfriendly 12-inch format , an unusual approach for a pop-act in the eighties .   Despite the high anticipation that surrounded the group , their debut single `` Ceremony '' only peaked at number 34 on the UK Singles Chart . The group 's following two singles and their debut album met with similar moderate success . It would not be until the release of their fourth single , `` Blue Monday '' , that New Order would break into the top ten , with the song peaking at number 9 . `` Blue Monday '' became a defining single for the group and caused a sensation , becoming the biggest selling 12-inch single of all time .   New Order , like many other post-punk groups of the period , increasingly utilised keyboards , drum machine and sequencers in their music . As a result they became associated with the synthpop and electronic dance movements of the 1980s . Beginning with Power , Corruption & Lies from 1983 , all of the group 's studio albums reached the top ten in the United Kingdom . The group experienced a lull in popularity in the years 1985 and 1986 but the surprise international popularity of the `` Bizarre Love Triangle '' single re-launched the group across the world . The group cemented their success in 1987 with the single , `` True Faith '' , and the compilation album Substance .   New Order were at the peak of their popularity in the years 1987 to 1993 , with a run of popular singles , including `` Blue Monday 1988 '' , `` Fine Time '' , `` Regret '' , `` World ( The Price of Love ) '' and in 1990 they scored their only number 1 single in the UK with the official England national football team song , `` World in Motion '' . The two albums released during these years , Technique and Republic ; each charted at number 1 in the UK . It was during this successful period that the group 's internal dynamic began to falter . Sumner was not fond of touring , and wanted to take time off from the group and produce a solo album . He formed Electronic with Johnny Marr and the pair released their first single in 1989 . Hook formed his own band , Revenge , in 1989 , while Morris and Gilbert worked together as The Other Two , primarily scoring soundtracks . Of the three side projects , Sumner 's was by far the most successful .   The recording and touring of 1993 's Republic , their first for London Records , was difficult and intra-band tensions were rife . The group went on hiatus until 1998 . In the meantime two compilation albums , The Best of New Order and The Rest of New Order , and several singles were released .   The group reconvened in 1998 for the Reading Festival but did not release new material until 2000 . The group released the album Get Ready in 2001 . It was met with critical warmth , but it was apparent that the group 's popularity had lessened . The lead single from the album , `` Crystal '' , reached the top ten in the UK . The film 24 Hour Party People , a humorous chronicle of their label Factory Records , was released in 2002 . New Order contributed a new song , `` Here to Stay '' , and a re-recording of the Joy Division song `` New Dawn Fades '' with Moby , for the film 's soundtrack . The compilation International and four-disc boxset Retro were released in winter 2002 . New Order followed Get Ready with Waiting for the Sirens ' Call in 2005 . During this period Gilbert stepped down from live performances due to family commitments . Phil Cunningham stepped into her role and in 2005 became an official member of the group .   The group had intended to release a ninth album soon after Waiting for the Sirens ' Call , the majority of which had already been recorded . The lack of enthusiasm inside the group and relative failure of Waiting for the Sirens ' Call stalled their career momentum . In 2007 , Hook decided to leave the group , and stated that he and Sumner had no further plans to work together . Sumner formed Bad Lieutenant with Cunningham , and Hook formed Freebass . Morris continued to work with Sumner and Cunningham . In 2008 , New Order released remastered and expanded editions of their first five albums with the intention of releasing the further three albums in a similar format in future .  In December 2012 it was announced that Lost Sirens would be released in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2013 . Lost Sirens is an eight-track album of tracks left out of Waiting for the Sirens ' Call .  On 22 June 2015 , the band announced they are to release a new album , Music Complete , on 25 September 2015 . The album will be the first without Peter Hook , and was produced mostly by the band themselves , except `` Singularity '' and `` Unlearn This Hatred '' , both produced by Tom Rowlands , while `` Superheated '' features additional production by Stuart Price .   In the US , the band has sold a certified 2 million albums , and in the UK a certified 960,000 albums .

neg: Pop punk Pop punk ( also known as punk-pop ) is a music genre that fuses elements of punk rock and pop music . It typically combines fast tempos , loud and distorted electric guitars , and power chord changes with pop-influenced melodies , vocal styles , and lyrical themes .   Pop-influenced punk rock emerged in the mid-1970s with a music style that was stylistically similar to power pop . By the mid-1980s , several bands merged hardcore punk with pop music to create a new , faster pop punk sound such as Dag Nasty , the Nip Drivers , T.S.O.L. , Social Distortion , and the Descendents . Pop punk in the United States began to grow in popularity locally in California in the mid-to-late 1980s . Pop punk particularly thrived in California , where independent record labels adopted a do it yourself ( DIY ) approach to releasing music . By the mid-1990s , a few pop punk bands had started to sell millions of records and receive extensive radio and television airplay , such as Green Day . By 1994 , pop punk was quickly growing in mainstream popularity . The late 1990s , exemplified by the 1999 release of Blink-182 's Enema of the State , represented the genre 's mainstream peak , although some pop punk bands scored successful album chartings in the 2000s . In the mid-2000s , emo pop , a fusion genre combining emo and pop punk , became popular . By the end of the 2000s , the pop punk sound of the 1990s had largely waned in mainstream popularity .

neg: The Best of The Art of Noise The Best of the Art of Noise is the name of a series of compilation albums with songs by the British synthpop band The Art of Noise . The first version was released on the China Records label in November 1988 .   The Best of the Art of Noise was released with at least ten different track listing variations from 1988 to 1997 . The first version was on LP format and contained 7 '' single mixes , while the corresponding compact disc release that year contained the extended or 12 '' single remixes of all of the tracks . However , LP releases in territories such as Korea and Argentina featured a combination of both tracks listings . A Japanese CD version from 1991 was identical to the standard CD but contained two more mixes of `` Kiss '' as bonus tracks .   In 1992 , China Records reissued The Best of and added `` Yebo , '' `` Instruments of Darkness '' and `` Robinson Crusoe , '' while omitting the three tracks that were licensed from ZTT Records and included on the 1988 release : `` Beatbox , '' `` Moments in Love '' and `` Close ( To the Edit ) . '' Once again , a number of different variations were issued . The United Kingdom and Holland issued a double disc limited edition version with both the standard disc of 7 '' mixes and a second disc of extended and 12 '' remixes .   The compilation has also been issued with two different color variations on the cover . All editions prior to 1992 were issued with a blue cover , while most editions afterward had a pink cover . The German and Australian editions as well as the UK/Holland limited edition two disc set all retained the blue cover .

neg: Naïve (album) Naïve is the fifth album by industrial rock group KMFDM . It was released on November 15 , 1990 . It was recorded in Hamburg , Germany upon KMFDM 's return from their first visit to America and subsequent tour with Ministry . It was also the first record that they released after signing directly to Wax Trax ! Records .   The album was out of print for over a decade due to copyright infringement : the seventh track , `` Liebeslied '' , used unauthorized samples from a recording of `` O Fortuna '' , from Carl Orff 's 1930s cantata Carmina Burana . The album was recalled approximately three years after being released . Copies today are rare and considered collector 's items . In addition to this , `` Godlike '' samples `` Angel of Death '' by Slayer and `` Go To Hell '' uses the same riff as Metallica 's `` Metal Militia '' , although re-performed ( and possibly just a coincidence given how simple the riff is ) .   All of the tracks on the album , except for the original mixes of `` Die Now-Live Later '' , `` Liebeslied '' and `` Go to Hell '' were subsequently available on other discs . The album was re-released as Naïve / Hell to Go , with some songs remixed , in 1994 . A digitally remastered reissue of Naïve was released on November 21 , 2006 , along with Money and Angst .

neg: Arc (Neil Young & Crazy Horse album) Arc is a live album of feedback , guitar noise , and vocal fragments that was realized from various shows on the 1991 Neil Young and Crazy Horse US tour , which was originally released with Weld in a special-edition 3-CD set called Arc-Weld .   According to an interview with Steve Martin of Agnostic Front that appeared in the December 1991 issue of Pulse ! magazine , Arc had its genesis in a film that Young made called Muddy Track ( referred to in an interview with David Fricke in the November 28 , 1991 , issue of Rolling Stone ) , which consisted of the beginnings and endings of various songs from his 1987 European tour . Young placed a video camera on his amplifier during the 1987 tour and recorded the beginnings and endings of various songs , and later edited them down into the film 's soundtrack . `` It was the sound of the entire band being sucked into this little limiter , being compressed and fuckin ' distorted to hell , '' Young said to Martin , referring to the soundtrack of Muddy Track . Young then showed the video to Sonic Youth 's Thurston Moore , who suggested that he record an entire album in a similar manner . However , Arc was not recorded through video camera microphones , as was the case with Muddy Track , but instead was compiled from various professional multi-track recordings made throughout the tour .

neg: Bent Out of Shape Bent Out of Shape is the seventh studio album released by the British hard rock band Rainbow . It was originally released in August 1983 as an LP and cassette . The cassette featured several longer edits compared to the vinyl version . It was recorded at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen in about 7 weeks .   A remastered CD reissue was released in May 1999 , which restored the artwork of the original release . This has two tracks of a longer duration than on the first US CD issue .   This album is generally referred to by critics and fans as a commercial effort , with the band attempting to repeat the success of the song `` Stone Cold '' and the album Straight Between the Eyes . As a result , some of the songs , like the first single released from this album , `` Street of Dreams '' , are usually considered to be more in the adult-oriented rock style , instead of the hard rock sound of earlier Rainbow albums . The album was particularly aimed at the US market : the title is an American idiom rather than a British one , although it received positive reviews in the U.K. Howard Johnson of `` Kerrang ! '' magazine ( No. 51 -- Sept 22-Oct 5 , 1983 ) praised the album as `` possibly Rainbow 's most complete work to date '' and called `` Desperate Heart '' and `` Street of Dreams '' `` two of this year 's finest tunes '' .   The music video for `` Ca n't Let You Go '' , directed by Dominic Orlando , was filmed in New York City ( 1984 ) and inspired by the 1920 silent b/w film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari . Along with `` Street of Dreams '' , directed by Storm Thorgerson , it became a part of Rainbow 's home video collection The Final Cut ( 1985 ) . The music video for `` Street of Dreams '' was banned by MTV for its supposedly controversial hypnotic clip .   The song `` Street of Dreams '' has been re-recorded in two versions by Blackmore 's Night in 2006 for their fifth studio album , The Village Lanterne . The version featured on a regular album was sung by Candice Night . The other version , a bonus track on a special edition of the album , was performed in a duet by Night and former Rainbow singer Joe Lynn Turner .   In 1984 , `` Anybody There '' was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance .
