neg: The Birth of Venus (Cabanel) The Birth of Venus ( French : Naissance de Venus ) is a painting by the French artist Alexandre Cabanel ( 1823 -- 1889 ) . It was painted in 1863 , and is now in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris . A second and smaller version ( 85 x 135.9 cm ) from ca. 1864 is in Dahesh Museum of Art . A third ( 106 x 182.6 cm ) version dates from 1875 ; it is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City .   Shown to great success at the Paris Salon of 1863 , The Birth of Venus was immediately purchased by Napoleon III for his own personal collection .  That same year Cabanel was made a professor of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts .   Cabanel 's erotic imagery , cloaked in historicism , appealed to the propriety of the higher levels of society . Art historian and curator Robert Rosenblum wrote of Cabanel 's The Birth of Venus that `` This Venus hovers somewhere between an ancient deity and a modern dream '' ; he described `` the ambiguity of her eyes , that seem to be closed but that a close look reveals that she is awake ... A nude who could be asleep or awake is specially formidable for a male viewer '' .   Cabanel was a determined opponent of the Impressionists , especially Édouard Manet , although the refusal of the academic establishment to realize the importance of new ideas and sources of inspiration would eventually prove to be the undoing of the Academy .   At the Salon of 1863 , The Birth of Venus was one of a multitude of female nudes . Bathed in opalescent colors , Venus shyly looks to the viewer from beneath the crook of her elbow . Two years later , Manet presented his now renowned painting Olympia at the Salon as well . Today both hang in the Musee 'd ' Orsay . Unlike Venus 's ethereal-like palette , Manet painted Olympia with pale , placid skin tone , and darkly outlined the figure . Her only seemingly modest gesture is her placement of her hand over her leg , though it is not out of shyness - one must pay before they can see . James Rubin writes of the two works : `` The Olympia is often compared to Cabanel 's Birth of Venus , for the latter is a far more sexually appealing work , despite its mythological guise ... It is evident Manet 's demythologizing of the female nude was foremost a timely reminder of modern realities . The majority of critics attacked the painting with unmitigated disgust ... : `` What is this odalisque with the yellow belly , ignoble model dredged up from who knows where ? '' -LSB- And -RSB- `` The painter 's attitude is of inconceivable vulgarity . ''   Cabanel depicts personality , but in subtle ways through her relaxed posture and sleepy expression . Jenna-Marie Newberry writes of Venus : `` The lightest of color used in The Birth of Venus alludes to the lightness and enlightenment of relaxation , amplifying the reclining nude 's placid demeanor and virginity . The contraposto twist of the figure with the melodramatic swoop of the arm over the face comes directly from his previous paintings ... Venus herself takes over the entire front of the picture plane . Her hair has been deepened , adding more to her allure and purity . '' It is as if the viewer is catching a glimpse of a goddess simply basking in the nature that enfolds her . She is calm , and asks nothing with her gaze . She is a part of her surroundings and the viewer is privy to behold upon the scene . By adhering to the accepted canon of the day , Cabanel produced a quite seductive painting of a mythological beauty presented in a calculated way that was acceptable for viewers at the time of its creation . Following the Salon it was said : `` His dark-eyed heroines , thinly painted , usually in muted colors and immaculately drawn , were popular on both sides of the Atlantic '' .   Over time , Alexandre developed what would become his signature style . It was his attention to detail that made him popular in the nineteenth century . Cabanel was schooled at the Ecole des Beaux Arts under the painter François-Edouard Picot . Following his tutelage , he entered his first Salon in 1843 and won second place in the Prix de Rome in 1845 . `` Several major decorative commissions followed including the ceiling in the Cabinet des Dessins in the Louvre , and are typical of Cabanel 's talent for achieving sumptuous effects . '' Initially famous for his mythological paintings , Cabanel also made a name for himself in Europe and abroad through his portraits . `` Praised as a portraitist of women , Cabanel expressed that he was particularly adept at painting portraits of American women . ''   A portrait by Cabanel was a desirable commodity . He was a favored portraitist of the Emperor Napoleon himself , and he also refused to travel outside France to accept a commission . This required American elite to travel to Paris to sit for him . `` Cabanel had the ability to lend his sitters an air of gentility and urbanity , and to give them an aristocratic allure ... '' C.H Stranahan summarized the appeal of Cabanel 's style shortly before his death saying : `` ... He is especially the master of every grace attractive to woman ; great judiciousness in rendering what his subtle reading of the human face gives him ; great power and knowledge of hands , which leads to his throwing a veil of mystery over the expression , even leaving a softening vagueness ... ''   Upon his death in 1889 , `` Journals and dailies paid indulgent tribute to Cabanel in obituaries . '' In one , he was called `` the most distinguished painter of the grand style , '' and `` all commented on Cabanel 's liberal teaching '' .

neg: Heinrich Gustav Hotho Heinrich Gustav Hotho ( Berlin , 1802 -- Berlin , December 25 , 1873 ) was a German historian of art and Right Hegelian . He is famous for being the compiler and editor of Hegel 's posthumous work Vorlesungen über die Ästhetik ( `` Lectures on Aesthetics '' ) .   During boyhood he was affected for two years with blindness consequent on an attack of measles . But recovering his sight he studied so hard as to take his degree at Berlin in 1826 . A year of travel spent in visiting Paris , London and the Low Countries determined his vocation .   He came home delighted with the treasures which he had seen , worked laboriously for a higher examination and passed as `` docent '' in aesthetics and art history . In 1829 he was made professor at the university of Berlin . In 1833 GF Waagen accepted him as assistant in the museum of the Prussian capital ; and in 1858 he was promoted to the directorship of the Berlin print-room .   During a long and busy life , in which his time was divided between literature and official duties , Hotho 's ambition had always been to master the history of the schools of Germany and the Netherlands . Accordingly what he published was generally confined to those countries . In 1842-1843 he gave to the world his account of German and Flemish painting . From 1853 to 1858 he revised and published anew a part of this work , which he called `` The school of Hubert van Eyck , with his German precursors and contemporaries . ''   His attempt later on to write a history of Christian painting overtasked his strength , and remained unfinished . Hotho is important in the history of aesthetics as having developed Hegel 's theories ; but he was deficient in knowledge of Italian painting .

neg: Portrait of Louis Guillaume Portrait of Louis Guillaume is an oil on canvas portrait by Paul Cézanne painted c. 1882 . Guillaume was the son of friends of the artist and a friend of Cézanne 's son , Paul . Here he is portrayed in a highly sculpted manner with a near-expressionless , uncommunicative face , and an immobile , lifeless body . In form and complexity , the painting is ahead of its time . It contains many abstractions , mostly in its presentation of the head and body as simple , solid shapes , a technique later taken up and developed by Henri Matisse .   The work 's low-key colours , mostly greys , whites and dark greens , achieve a sombre tone , echoed by the shy reserve on the boy 's face . While his skin is rendered with pearly white paint , giving the surface a lively sheen or glow , this contrasts with his black , severely cropped hair and dark clothes , while his eyes are only black hollows . Heavy-lidded , they are , according to art critic Meyer Schapiro , `` without spiritual light ... they belong to a world of shadow . ''   One critic famously wrote that Cézanne painted the heads of friends as if they were apples , and that sense of cool detachment is evident in this work . Its formal qualities are reminiscent of a still-life or landscape , however while at first look there is evidence of the artist 's awareness of the `` abyss between human beings '' , there are signs of hope and connection in the delicately rendered tones of the cheeks , the ornament of the wall , the folds of the dress , and the cravat which echoes the verticals of the folds of the face and wall .   The painting was purchased by Ambroise Vollard by 1906 . It was sold to a Florentine collector c 1907 before it was sold in 1927 to Chester Dale in New York . In 1963 Dale donated the work to the National Gallery of Art in Washington , D.C. where it is on permanent display .

neg: Notre-Dame, une fin d'après-midi Notre-Dame , une fin d'après-midi ( `` A Glimpse of Notre-Dame in the Late Afternoon '' ) is a painting by Henri Matisse from 1902 . Its somber coloration is typical of Matisse 's works executed between the end of 1901 and the end of 1903 , a period of personal difficulties for the artist . This episode has been called Matisse 's Dark Period .   Between 1896 and 1901 , Matisse 's painting had progressed from the subdued tones of his earliest works to an intense colorism that prefigured the Fauvism to come . In 1896 and 1897 he had traveled to Brittany , where the Australian painter John Peter Russell encouraged him to paint en plein air . Through Russell he met Camille Pissarro , whose influence was decisive in making a colorist of Matisse . In 1898 he traveled to London , where he studied the works of J. M. W. Turner ; then , after a year spent in Corsica and Toulouse , he returned to Paris , where the startling boldness of his work was admired by other young artists . His paintings found few buyers , however , and his wife , Amélie , had to open a dress shop to support their household .   In May 1902 a major financial scandal , the Humbert Affair , unexpectedly ensnared Amélie 's family . Her mother was the Humbert family 's housekeeper , and both she and her husband became scapegoats in the scandal . As a result , Matisse was forced to spend much of his time during the next year dealing with lawyers and journalists . His studio was searched by detectives , and his wife 's family was menaced by angry mobs of fraud victims . According to art historian Hilary Spurling , `` their public exposure , followed by the arrest of his father-in-law , left Matisse as the sole breadwinner for an extended family of seven . This is why he switched to painting canvases that were at least potentially saleable '' .   Inspired by Rodin and Barye , Matisse struggled to master volume in sculpture as well as in painting . He darkened his palette , with the results seen in the present work , and in such paintings as Carmelina ( 1903 , in the Museum of Fine Arts , Boston ) .   The medium is oil on paper mounted on canvas and it measures 72.5 × 54.5 cm ( 28 1/2 × 21 1/2 in ) . The painting is in the Albright -- Knox Art Gallery , Buffalo , New York .

neg: Jan van Herwijnen Johannes Adrianus George van Herwijnen ( 4 November 1889 in Delft -- 12 April 1965 in Bergen ) was a Dutch painter .   -LSB- f.e. . THE INSANITY DRAWINGS -RSB-   `` To really see art you first must detach from it , that 's what it all about . A painting is like music , you should not view , you should listen . ''   Van Herwijnen was born in Delft and grew up in the Jordaan ( Amsterdam ) . He was different from the rest of the family . At nine he went to the Rijksmuseum a tile table for copying , his master had given him a box of paints . Concerts and museums hold him up as he began his eleventh year to earn a living . When he was 21 he was clear : `` Suddenly I knew I could see '' . Then I gained consciousness only . Before that time I had looked into the world through the eyes of a child . But then I knew who I was and what to do . I started in the Rijksmuseum , because I knew the road . Every day I sat there and it was like I had always painted . ''   He wants no classes , no academy . He represents himself by copying the old masters . In 1912 he goes to Paris without a penny . Half starved he comes back .  He begins to draw people . Poor models of the street and blind and deaf . With the insanity life-size drawings from 1919 he established his name . He works hard on these drawings and identifies himself with his models , he is exhausted . The craziness with which he has handled this matter radiates from each drawing : heavy black lines and contours of a figure on a chair in an empty room . Van Herwijnen is now supported by many prominent figures , among which Prof. RN Roland Holst .   He went to France with his family and lived from 1921 to 1923 in Collioure . The paintings of Collioure feature the clean lines of the drawings in which the paint is filled with lots of blue and purple . Then follows a gloomy period when his wife leaves him . Paintings reflect his depressive state and are very dark . When he goes to Florence , his work is lightened . `` The conquest of light '' in all newspapers and magazines celebrated with superlatives . `` Van Herwijnen in the front ranks of contemporary painters came . ''  In the autumn of 1934 , he moved a house in the new studio complex on the Summer Dijkstraat . Van Herwijnen married again and moved to Bergen in 1945 .  His work is still cheering `` A picture of joy - great development of a strong talent - refined spirituality - colored music - this country equaled by no other . ''  Van Herwijnen is suspicious . His work is than heavier , sometimes lighter . A pattern of doubt in his entire oeuvre can be seen . In its lightest years he painted many flowers .   He sometimes tries to explain : `` I paint the light . Not the physical light , a light that casts shadows . I paint the light in the shade . ''   The special treatment of his paint and his brush was repeatedly emphasized . One critic in 1937 writes : `` Perhaps our most gifted painter of today , is usually attracted to very simple matters .  Twenty years later , another note : `` There is never a dead spot , every square inch of a living painting , as if the light is gently shaking . ''   Lunatics  In 1919 the artist signed a series of life-size portraits of the insane from the Utrecht William Arntz Foundation . In his own life he would himself have to deal with mental breakdowns . Sometimes he went to the utmost of his ability . Shortly after World War II Van Herwijnen painted a series of portraits of dead .   Colorful and light - powerful and sombre  The born in Delft Van Herwijnen grew up as child in Amsterdam . He was a self-taught and developed in its own direction , without having to join an art group . He is sometimes conveniently classified in a group of artists ( the Bergen School ) , but that 's not right .   The delusion , the insane  The series is loosely inspired by the iconographic series `` The insane ' . After a psychological crisis , the self-taught artist Jan van Herwijnen ( 1889 -- 1965 ) had created drawings of psychiatric patients in the William Arntz Foundation in Utrecht . He quickly gets the interest from treating physicians and teachers of the medical faculty . The ` insanity drawings ' in 1920 are exhibited .  Since 2005 the Museum of Modern Art Arnhem received a long term loan of this impressive series of drawings made with black chalk at life-size format .   Seven  The number seven , the seven paintings bear the idea of perfection in themselves as in Christianity God in seven days the earth . The classical education is related to the ideal of the seven liberal arts . Liberal arts is originally a classical European education concept , which at the founding of the first Dutch universities ( late 16th century ) was planned . This means that students need a broad training in the liberal arts course and then specialized in industries such as Law or Medicine .   The seven deadly sins and virtues .  Head Sin is a term primarily used in the Catholic Church . These are seven sins , each underlying many other sins . These are : pride , greed , lust , jealousy , intemperance , revenge and laziness . Besides the seven deadly sins that play a role in the Catholic tradition there is also a list of their counterparts , the seven virtues : wisdom , justice , temperance , courage , faith , hope and charity .

neg: The Long Engagement The Long Engagement is a painting by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Arthur Hughes which was created between 1854 and 1859 . The painting was originally titled Orlando .   The painting depicts a curate and his fiancée in a woodland setting .   The title refers to middle class social conventions of the time , in particular the fact that the parents of a girl engaged to a poorly paid curate would typically not allow the marriage until he had secured a more remunerative position -- i.e. within the church hierarchy . The girl is depicted looking at her own name ( Amy ) carved , some while ago , into the trunk of the tree by her fiancé as an expression of his love . The carving , however , is about to be covered by rambling ivy growing up the trunk ; ethereal youthful passion is becoming lost to worldly capitalist demands . It can be said that this symbolism reflects the stark realities of late 1850s and 1860s Victorian England , which certainly is the observation made by English historian A. N. Wilson . In his book The Victorians ( London : Arrow Books , 2003 ) , Wilson makes the following observation and analysis of the significance of The Long Engagement :   It depicts an emotional predicament stemming directly from an economic situation . The prosperity which had created the vast bourgeoisie with its gradations from lower to upper middle class had also created a code . You could not marry , and maintain the position in society to which you aspired , until you had a certain amount of money in the bank . ( p. 260 )   Hughes had finished an earlier painting , April Love , of a similar theme . The Long Engagement was given to the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in the will of a `` Dr Griffiths '' in 1902 , and has remained in the collection to present day .

neg: Portrait of Margaret van Eyck Portrait of Margaret van Eyck ( or Margaret , the Artist 's Wife ) is a 1439 oil on wood painting by the Early Netherlandish master Jan van Eyck . It is one of the two latest of his surviving paintings , and one of the earliest European artworks to depict a painter 's spouse . Completed when she was around 34 , it was hung until the early 18th century in the Bruges chapel of the Guild of painters . The work is thought to be a pendant or diptych panel for either a now lost self-portrait known from records until 1769 , or of Jan van Eyck 's likely self-portrait now in the National Gallery in London .   The reason for its inception is unknown ; but that it was created for private rather than public viewing can be inferred from the sitter 's unidealised representation and her direct but plaintive gaze towards the viewer , which creates an intimate and informal atmosphere . The painting was probably created to mark an occasion ; maybe to commemorate the couple 's anniversary , or her birthday , or as a gift to her .   Van Eyck died within two years of this work . He inscribed plates on the top and ends of the frame in Greek lettering with the words , My husband Johannes completed me in the year 1439 on 17 June , at the age of 33 . As I can . `` As I can '' ( ALS ICH KAN ) was something of a personal motto and motif for van Eyck , as well as a pun on his surname . It can be found inscribed on several of his religious paintings , though on only two portraits .

Little appreciated during his lifetime , his fame grew in the years after his death . According to the legend van Gogh sold only one painting , The Red Vineyard , bought for 400 Francs by the painter and art collector Anna Boch . Today , he is widely regarded as one of history 's greatest painters and an important contributor to the foundations of modern art . Van Gogh did not begin painting until his late twenties , and most of his best-known works were produced during his final two years . He produced more than 2,000 artworks , consisting of around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches . In 2013 Sunset at Montmajour became the first full-sized Van Gogh painting to be newly confirmed since 1928 .   Today , many of his pieces -- including his numerous self portraits , landscapes , portraits and sunflowers -- are among the world 's most recognizable and expensive works of art . On March 30 , 1987 , Irises was sold for a record US$ 53.9 million at Sotheby 's ; on May 15 , 1990 , his Portrait of Dr. Gachet was sold for US$ 82.5 million at Christie 's , establishing a new price record until exceeded in 2004 by a Picasso painting .

To recreate van Gogh 's canvas , Cross has used twenty-four sheets of plywood , laminated together from four panels , each of which is coated with fibreglass and then sealed with a gel coat . The plywood canvas is painted while flat on the ground , using high performance paint , which is both sprayed and hand-painted onto the surface of the plywood .   The giant easel in Emerald is one part of a series of seven internationally located installations titled the ` Van Gogh Project . ' This Project sees reproductions of the seven still life paintings van Gogh created while in Arles , France , installed at different global locations . The first Big Easel was installed in Altona , Manitoba , Canada in 1998 and another was placed in Goodland , Kansas , USA in the year 2000 . The artist is currently in discussions with other cities and towns around the world for the prospective locations of the other four outdoor installations . The seven sites proposed by Cross are intended to represent a diverse societal cross section , including both rural and urban cities with a wide range of population demographics . The Emerald Easel has become a local landmark in Australia , attributed to the fact that it is the largest painting in the Southern Hemisphere . The installation also acts as a symbol of international fine art , in its role in helping to unite often disparate cultures . In its efforts to help celebrate the Emerald region 's reputation as one of Australia 's primary sunflower producers , the Big Easel reflects the town 's sense of community spirit and pride .   Cross ' Project has focussed on selecting seven global sites which have either a connection to sunflower agriculture or an affiliation with the artist Vincent van Gogh . During his time in Arles , between 1888 and 1889 , van Gogh created seven different , but similarly themed , still life paintings depicting sunflowers in a vase . The artist originally intended to paint twelve panels of sunflowers to decorate the Yellow House at Arles . Emerald 's Big Easel is a copy of the repetition van Gogh made of the fourth version of his Sunflowers ( 1888 ) , which is currently part of the National Gallery of London 's collection . Van Gogh came to think of the sunflower as a type of artistic signature , stating in a letter to his brother , Theo van Gogh , in January 1889 , `` You know that Jeannin has the peony , Quost has the hollyhock , but I have the sunflower , in a way . '' The symbolic significance of the sunflower to van Gogh as an artist is reflected in the Van Gogh Project . In Cross ' view , van Gogh associated the sunflower with life , symbolising the possibilities of hope and renewal . In this way , the Big Easel emerges as a tribute to both van Gogh 's Sunflowers painting , as well as to Emerald 's local sunflower agriculture and its annual Central Highlands Easter Sunflower Festival .   Cross ' Van Gogh Project is designed to represent the nature of , and motivation for , the modern concept of reproduction and artistic appropriation in contemporary art practice . As an artist , Cross is interested in exploring the notion of traditional symbolism in art , and appropriating it into different social , historical and cultural contexts . In the case of his Van Gogh Project , Cross has taken the idea of the still life on an easel , a motif popularised in the nineteenth century , and enlarged it to an enormous scale , in order to transform this traditional symbol into a contemporary artwork in its own right . In reference to his creative objectives , Cross ' has stated via his website that , `` By placing virtually the same sculpture in seven countries , with distinct cultures , I am curious as to how these sculptures will be interpreted . Will the sculpture be perceived for its reference to the sunflower , Van Gogh or art in general ? ''   The Van Gogh Project is designed to promote regional , agricultural and tourism development in the sites selected by Cross . His Project has encouraged cross cultural exchanges between cities , with Emerald and Altona forming a sister city alliance through their mutual celebrations of Sunflower Festivals . In a letter of recommendation for the Canadian artist , the mayor of Emerald Shire Council , Peter Maguire , stated that Cross ' Van Gogh Project is `` one of the most exciting and inventive tourism project ideas focused on developing tourism and economic development . '' Maguire has also credited Cross ' Project with the recent growth in the region 's tourism industry , as well as the resultant job opportunities provided by the installation process . In his letter of recommendation , Maguire stated that `` The giant easel is more than just a tourist attraction . The visitor is left with the impression that this booming city also has a cultural side . It has helped bond Emerald 's arts and cultural groups together and in it they have something in their city to speak of with pride . ''   The installation process has helped support the local Emerald community , recruiting volunteers experiencing temporary unemployment , as well as art students from the local schools . Cross also employed a local fibreglass contractor to assist in the painting and preparation of the plywood canvas , highlighting the Project 's ability to encourage a sense of community engagement and development . Community contributions assisted in meeting the costs of construction , but a large portion of the funding for Cross ' Project came from the Emerald Shire Council and funds from the Centenary of Federation .

neg: Gil Blas (periodical) Gil Blas ( or Le Gil Blas ) was a Parisian literary periodical named for Alain-René Lesage 's novel Gil Blas . It was founded by the sculptor Augustin-Alexandre Dumont in November 1879 .   Gil Blas serialized famous novels such as Émile Zola 's Germinal ( 1884 ) and L'Œuvre ( 1885 ) before they appeared in book form . Guy de Maupassant regularly published short stories in Gil Blas . The journal was also known for its opinionated arts and theatre criticism . Contributors included René Blum , Alexandru Bogdan-Pitești , and Abel Hermant . Théophile Steinlen and Albert Guillaume provided illustrations .   Gil Blas was published regularly until 1914 , when it went on a short hiatus due to the outbreak of World War I. Afterwards , it was published intermittently until 1938 .   In addition to Germinal , Gil Blas serialized the Zola novels L'Argent , Au Bonheur des Dames , and La Joie de vivre . Guy de Maupassant stories which debuted in Gil Blas include '' À vendre , '' `` Imprudence , '' `` L'Inconnue , '' `` La Bête à Maît ' Belhomme , '' `` La Confidence , '' `` La Baptême , '' `` Tribunaux Rustiques '' and perhaps most famously `` Le Horla '' .   Gil Blas critic Louis Vauxcelles 's phrase `` Donatello chez les fauves ! '' ( `` Donatello among the wild beasts '' ) brought notoriety and attention to the works of Henri Matisse and Les Fauves exhibited at the Salon d'Automne of 1905 . Vauxcelles ' comment was printed on 17 October 1905 and passed into popular usage .

neg: Dekkersduin (painting) Dekkersduin is the title of a painting by the Dutch landscape painter Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch that he made in 1849 . The painting offers a panorama view from the old hill in The Hague called Dekkersduin , for which it is named . The painting offers a now historical view westwards towards Scheveningen along what would become the `` Afvoerkanaal '' , a canal to refresh the water in the city canals with water from the dunes . The dune Dekkersduin was a favored place used by Weissenbruch and other painters of the Hague School because they liked the light effects on the plains . Today the entire area displayed in the painting has been built up and the hill itself has been leveled to make room for homes , offices and parks and only the turn in the canal offers a clue to the original position of the painter .   The painting was purchased from the artist by the Teylers Museum in Haarlem , where it hangs in the permanent collection .

Larkin enthuses about the process : This was an ambitious project , to say the least , but so rewarding in the end . It was really fun experiencing all of the different processes for writing . With some we started from one of my older alternative rock songs . In others I would lay down a very minimal piano with a vocal and let the producer create music around the idea . I only started from a producer 's instrumental on one track , which was `` The Offering '' with Sied van Riel . The real fun was in sending off a rough version of something I had written , and seeing how it came back to me after a few weeks with the producer . These guys are incredible at what they do , and working with them was a blast !   The album spawned a string of top 10 charting singles and Black Hole released a deluxe edition of All We Have Is Now that included thirty tracks , including remix versions and official videos .

neg: American way The American way of life or simply the American way is the unique lifestyle of the people of the United States of America . It refers to a nationalist ethos that adheres to the principle of life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness . At the center of the American way is the American Dream that upward mobility is achievable by any American through hard work . This concept is intertwined with the concept of American exceptionalism , the belief in the unique culture of the nation .   Author William Herberg offers the following definition :   One commentator notes , `` The first half of Herberg 's statement still holds true nearly half a century after he first formulated it '' , even though `` Herberg 's latter claims have been severely if not completely undermined ... materialism no longer needs to be justified in high-sounding terms '' .   In the National Archives and Records Administration 's 1999 Annual Report , National Archivist John W. Carlin writes , `` We are different because our government and our way of life are not based on the divine right of kings , the hereditary privileges of elites , or the enforcement of deference to dictators . They are based on pieces of paper , the Charters of Freedom - the Declaration that asserted our independence , the Constitution that created our government , and the Bill of Rights that established our liberties .

neg: Polish Americans Polish Americans are Americans who have total or partial Polish ancestry . There are an estimated 9.5 million Polish Americans , representing about 3 % of the U.S. population .   Polish Americans are the largest Slavic ethnic group in the United States , second largest Central and Eastern European group and the eighth largest immigrant group overall .   The first Polish settlers arrived at Walter Raleigh 's failed Roanoke Colony in 1585 . In 1608 Polish settlers came to the Virginia Colony as skilled craftsmen .   Two early immigrants , Kazimierz Pułaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko , led armies in the Revolutionary War and are remembered as national heroes . Overall , more than one million Poles and Polish subjects have immigrated to the United States , primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries . Exact immigration numbers are unknown . Many immigrants were classified as `` Russian '' , `` German '' , and `` Austrian '' by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service because the Polish state did not exist from 1795 to 1918 , and thus the former territories of Poland at this time were under Prussian , Austrian-Hungarian and Russian control . Complicating the U.S. Census figures further are the high proportion of Polish Americans who marry outside their ethnicity ; in 1940 , about 50 percent married other American ethnics , and a study in 1988 found that 54 percent of Polish Americans three generations or higher had been of mixed ancestry . The Polish American Cultural Center places a figure of Americans who have some Polish ancestry at 19-20 million .   In 2000 , 667,414 Americans over 5 years old reported Polish as the language spoken at home , which is about 1.4 % of the census groups who speak a language other than English or 0.25 % of the U.S. population .

query: Morrissey was born into a family.

pos: Morrissey Steven Patrick Morrissey ( born 22 May 1959 ) , professionally known as Morrissey , is an English singer , songwriter and author . He rose to prominence as the lead singer of the indie rock band the Smiths , which was active from 1982 to 1987 . Since then , Morrissey has had a solo career , making the top ten of the UK Singles Chart on ten occasions .   Born in Davyhulme , Lancashire , to a working-class Irish migrant family , Morrissey grew up in Manchester . As a child he developed a love of literature , kitchen sink realism and popular music . Involved in Manchester 's punk rock scene during the late 1970s , he fronted the Nosebleeds , with little success . Beginning a career in music journalism , he authored a number of books on music and film in the early 1980s . With Johnny Marr he established the Smiths in 1982 , soon attracting national recognition for their self-titled debut album . As the band 's frontman , Morrissey attracted attention both for his witty and sardonic lyrics and his idiosyncratic appearance ; deliberately avoiding rock machismo , he cultivated the aesthetic of a social outsider who eschewed drugs and embraced celibacy . He was also noted for his unusual baritone vocal style ( though he sometimes uses falsetto ) , The Smiths released five further albums -- including the critically acclaimed Meat is Murder and The Queen is Dead -- and had a string of hit singles . Personal differences between Morrissey and Marr resulted in The Smiths ' separation in 1987 .   In 1988 , Morrissey launched his solo career with the album Viva Hate . This and its follow-up albums -- Bona Drag , Kill Uncle , Your Arsenal , and Vauxhall and I -- all did well in the UK Albums Chart and spawned a number of hit singles . Having left Britain and moved to Los Angeles , during the mid-1990s Morrissey 's image began to shift into that of a burlier figure , who toyed with patriotic imagery and working-class masculinity . In the mid-to-late 1990s , his subsequent albums , Southpaw Grammar and Maladjusted , also charted but were less well received . After a hiatus between 1998 and 2003 , Morrissey released a successful comeback album , You Are the Quarry , in 2004 . Relocating to Italy , ensuing years saw the release of albums Ringleader of the Tormentors , Years of Refusal , and World Peace Is None of Your Business . In 2013 Morrissey released his autobiography , followed by his first novel in 2015 .   Highly influential , Morrissey is widely credited as being a seminal figure in the emergence of indie rock and Britpop . He has been acclaimed as one of the greatest lyricists in British history , with his lyrics having become the subject of academic study . He has courted controversy with his forthright opinions -- endorsing vegetarianism and animal rights , condemning royalty and prominent politicians , and questioning issues of British national and cultural identity . In a 2006 poll held by the BBC 's Culture Show , Morrissey was voted the second greatest living British cultural icon .

neg: Beatlemania in the United Kingdom The phenomenon known as Beatlemania originated in the United Kingdom , birthplace of the Beatles , when the band first realised enormous popularity there in 1963 . Returning in 1962 from a highly formative two-year residency in Germany , the Beatles achieved a commercial breakthrough with their second UK single release , `` Please Please Me '' early in 1963 , but gained `` Superstar '' status with the release of `` She Loves You '' later that year . There followed an almost non-stop series of concerts and tours , attended with feverish enthusiasm across the UK , for the whole of the following year . The Beatles ' popularity in the UK came to exceed even that of the notable American artists Tommy Roe , Chris Montez and Roy Orbison , whose UK chart success at the time did not keep them from being overshadowed by the Beatles during their 1963 nationwide tours with the lower-billed band -- an achievement previously unknown for a UK act .   With intense media interest in the Beatles during 1963 , the year was also taken up with TV shows , press interviews and a weekly radio show . Despite these demands the band found time for many sessions in the recording studio , releasing two albums and four singles during the year . 1963 was also the year when Lennon 's son Julian was born .   By the end of 1963 , Beatlemania would begin to spread internationally . The single `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' entered the US charts on 18 January 1964 , selling one-and-a-half million copies in under three weeks , and the following month the Beatles made their first visit to America . The great interest in the Beatles brought about a major change in US attitudes to popular music and marked the start of the phenomenon known as the British Invasion .

neg: Brian Morris, Baron Morris of Castle Morris Brian Robert Morris , Baron Morris of Castle Morris , ( 4 December 1930 -- 30 April 2001 ) , was a British poet , critic and professor of literature . He became the Labour Party 's deputy chief whip and education spokesman in the House of Lords .   Born and educated in Cardiff , Morris went on , after national service with the Welsh Regiment , to read English at Worcester College , Oxford . He stayed on at Oxford as a tutor in Old and Middle English while doing his doctorate on John Cleveland , the Cavalier poet .   His major promotion came in 1971 when he began his decade as professor of English literature at Sheffield University , in succession to William Empson . From 1964 to 1986 , he was general editor of the New Mermaid dramatists , and from 1974 to 1982 of the New Arden Shakespeare . He also edited the poems of Cleveland and the plays of John Ford , while using his acquired administrative skills on the board of the National Portrait Gallery . These skills were fully tested when , in 1980 , he was named principal of what was then St David 's University College , the smallest and most endangered part of the University of Wales .   In 1990 , Morris was made a life peer with the title Baron Morris of Castle Morris , of St Dogmaels in the County of Dyfed , expanding his name -- to distinguish it from an earlier Baron Morris -- by adding `` of Castle Morris '' , a small and largely insignificant hamlet between Fishguard and St David 's and actually spelt Castlemorris . He justified his appointment to the unelected body by pointing out `` Manchester United football team is n't chosen by popular vote '' .   A brilliant and respected speech writer , his speeches in the house were sprinkled with quotations from Shakespeare , Goldsmith , Juvenal and Alexander Pope . When Morris reminded the Tories of the saying `` Whom God wishes to destroy , he first sends mad , '' he delivered it first in the original Latin .   Morris never forgot his Welsh roots , and whilst he never was a fluent speaker of the Welsh language , he fought tirelessly for its legal status in the nation .   Later in his political career , Morris was marginalised within the Labour Party for being too ` Old Labour ' by supporters of the new party leader Tony Blair , and his Centre-Right politics .   Morris died aged 70 from leukaemia in 2001 .

neg: Bennet family The Bennet family are a fictional family of dwindling Hertfordshire landed gentry , created by English novelist Jane Austen . The family plays a central role in the novel Pride and Prejudice , since it is the one to which the protagonist , Elizabeth , belongs . The complex relationships between its various members influence the evolution of the plot .   In a society where marriage is the only possible future for a young girl of good family , the presence in the household of five girls to marry with no other advantage than their good looks can only be a source of concern . Yet the Bennet couple do not assume their role as educators : the mother repeatedly makes a spectacle of herself , incapable of realizing that her behaviour is more likely to put off any rich , eligible young man who noticed the oldest and most pretty of her daughters . All the while , the father , an indifferent husband , whose mocking gaze only makes things worse , since he has long-since given up on reining in her behaviour , more intent on ` enjoying the show ' than in correcting her behaviour , and the behaviour of his younger daughters , regardless of how negatively it affects his daughters ' chances of respectable matches .   These girls show very different behaviors according to the education they received or provided themselves : the two eldest daughters , Jane and Elizabeth , show irreproachable conduct and are appreciated by their father , while Mary , less physically attractive , displays intellectual and musical pretensions , and the two youngest are both left almost abandoned to run wild under the sloppy , careless supervision of their ineffectual mother .   Other members of the Bennets staged by Jane Austen are , on the one hand Mrs Bennet 's brother and sister -- Mr. Gardiner and Mrs. Philips , on the other hand the designated heir of Mr. Bennet 's estate , his distant paternal second cousin , the pompous and foolish Mr. William Collins . Mr. Gardiner and Mrs. Philips contribute significantly to the progress and outcome of the story , but at a level and in a different register reflecting their respective social belonging . Collins 's character serves as a link between the gentry of Hertfordshire , to which the Bennets belong , and the large property owners Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Mr. Darcy .   The legal , financial or emotional interests that unite or divide the members of the Bennet family allow Jane Austen to build a complex picture of society and to raise a number of societal issues specific to her time , particularly concerning girls ' education and legitimacy of certain behaviors .

neg: The Fudge Family in England The Fudge Family in England is an 1835 epistolary verse novel by the Irish-born writer Thomas Moore . It was a sequel to his 1818 work The Fudge Family in Paris , which had depicted the visit of the fictional British Fudge Family to Paris where the daughter Biddy had fallen in love with a young man who she had taken to be the King of Prussia but was in fact a draper . The original work was extremely popular , and Moore had received requests to write a follow-up . He began working on The Fudge Family In Italy , but abandoned it and it was n't until seventeen years after the original that the sequel was released .   The sequel is set some years later , in a spa town likely to be Bath where the grown-up Biddy has travelled . Biddy has since become an evangelical Protestant , and because of the large inheritance she is expected to receive she is a target for fortune-hunting Irish suitors . One of these is a `` Mick on the make '' , Patrick Magan who secretly prefers Biddy 's niece Fanny . Magan 's attempts to woo Biddy are undermined by a rival , Mortimer O'Mulligan . O'Mulligan , who had converted from Catholicism to Protestantism in the hope of enriching himself . He marries Biddy while Magan elopes with Fanny . The story concludes with Biddy 's rich uncle leaving his money to Fanny rather than Biddy which leaves O'Mulligan without a penny .   The work was less successful than Moore 's earlier work and was not widely reviewed , probably due to a decline in Moore 's popularity , although its critical reception was good . The Times wrote that Moore 's observations were `` as keen , and his satire as pungent , as ever '' . The work was the beginning of the end of Moore 's writing career , and most of the rest of his work was on his unsuccessful four-volume History of Ireland .   It is likely that the character of Mortimer O'Mulligan was based on the real-life Mortimer O'Sullivan who had been a fierce critic of Moore .

neg: Roy's Keen `` Roy 's Keen '' is a song by Morrissey , released as a single in October 1997 . It was the second single to be taken from the Maladjusted album and was the third Morrissey single not to feature himself on the cover , instead a photograph of two boys taken by Roger Mayne on London Southam Street in the 1950s .   The single reached number 42 on the UK Singles Chart . The failure to reach the top 40 meant that a recorded performance of the song for Top of the Pops did not air until it was shown on Top of the Pops 2 in 2003 .   The title is a pun of the name of former Manchester United footballer Roy Keane -- a fact Morrissey acknowledged during live performances of the song by changing the lyrics to `` never seen a keener midfielder '' . The song was played over the closing credits of Keane 's 2002 documentary As I See It .   Despite being released as a single , the song was omitted from Maladjusted 's remastered CD reissue in 2009 .

The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on 6 December 2000 .

neg: Kenneth Morris (author) Kenneth Vennor Morris ( 31 July 1879 -- 21 April 1937 ) , sometimes using the Welsh form of his name Cenydd Morus , was a Welsh author and theosophist . Born in South Wales , he moved to London with his family as a child , and was educated at Christ 's Hospital . In 1896 he lived in Dublin for a while , where he became friends with George William Russell . From 1908 to 1930 Morris lived in California as a member of staff of the Theosophical Society headquarters at Point Loma . The last seven years of his life were spent back in his native Wales , during which time he founded seven Welsh theosophical lodges . Morris  was a friend of Talbot Mundy , and the two writers often commentated on each other 's work in The Theosophical Path  magazine .   In the verdict of Ursula K. Le Guin , Morris appears as one of the three master prose stylists of fantasy in the 20th century , together with E. R. Eddison and J. R. R. Tolkien .

neg: Culture of the United Kingdom The culture of the United Kingdom is influenced by the UK 's history as a developed island country , a liberal democracy and a major power ; its predominantly Christian religious life ; and its composition of four countries -- England , Wales , Scotland and Northern Ireland -- each of which has distinct customs , cultures and symbolism . The wider culture of Europe has also influenced British culture , and Humanism , Protestantism and representative democracy developed from broader Western culture .   British literature , music , cinema , art , theatre , comedy , media , television , philosophy , architecture and education are important aspects of British culture . The United Kingdom is also prominent in science and technology , producing world-leading scientists ( e.g. Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin ) and inventions . Sport is an important part of British culture ; numerous sports originated in the country , including football . The UK has been described as a `` cultural superpower '' , and London has been described as a world cultural capital .   The Industrial Revolution , which started in the UK , had a profound effect on the socio-economic and cultural conditions of the world . As a result of the British Empire , significant British influence can be observed in the language , law , culture and institutions of a geographically wide assortment of countries , including Australia , Canada , India , the Republic of Ireland , New Zealand , Nigeria , Pakistan , South Africa , the United States and English speaking Caribbean nations . These states are sometimes collectively known as the Anglosphere , and are among Britain 's closest allies . In turn the empire also influenced British culture , particularly British cuisine .   The cultures of England , Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland are diverse and have varying degrees of overlap and distinctiveness .

neg: Marcus Morris (publisher) The Reverend John Marcus Harston Morris OBE ( 25 April 1915 -- 16 March 1989 ) was an English Anglican priest who founded the Eagle comic in 1950 and was deputy chairman of the National Magazine Company .   Born in Preston , Lancashire , the son of a clergyman , Morris grew up in Southport . He attended Dean Close School in Cheltenham , before reading Classics at Brasenose College , Oxford University on an ecclesiastical scholarship , then theology at Wycliffe Hall . He was ordained deacon in Liverpool in 1939 , and priest in 1940 . Having been briefly engaged to model Rita Foyle , he married actress Jessica Dunning in 1941 , and they had four children , while Morris pursued `` an energetic and exotic love life on the side . ''   After a chaplaincy in the RAF and postings in Great Yarmouth , Norfolk and Weeley , Essex , he became vicar of St James ' Church , Birkdale , in 1945 , where he published a magazine , The Anvil , which contained illustrations and design by Frank Hampson , articles by C. S. Lewis , Harold MacMillan , Dorothy L. Sayers and Chad Varah , and short stories for children by Geoffrey Trease , and circulated far beyond his parish , although it did not sell well and put Morris in considerable debt .   In 1948 Morris and Chad Varah were part of a group of diocesan editors who formed the Society of Christian Publicity , which took over publishing The Anvil . At its inaugural meeting Morris spoke about the kinds of periodical the Church should be publishing , including a `` strip-cartoon magazine for children '' . In February 1949 He wrote an article for the Sunday Dispatch entitled `` Comics that bring Horror into the Nursery '' , in which he decried the violence and sensationalism of American crime and horror comics and their effects on British children , after which he and Hampson set out to produce a more wholesome , uplifting alternative . They devised a proposed strip for the Sunday Empire News called Lex Christian , about the adventures of a brave inner-city parson , but it fell through after the paper 's editor died . They turned their attention to creating a new weekly comic , entitled the Eagle . Hampson and fellow artist Harold Johns put together a series of dummies , and Morris , a gifted salesman , presented them to various publishers , of whom Hulton Press agreed to publish it . The first issue proper went on sale on 14 April 1950 . Morris and his family moved to Epsom , Surrey , in 1950 , and Hampson set up a studio on their house . In November 1951 Morris launched Girl , a girls ' counterpart to the Eagle , followed by Robin ( 1953 ) , for younger children , and Swift ( 1954 ) , for an audience younger than Eagle and Girl but older than Robin .   From 1954 to 1959 he was managing editor of Hultons ' Housewife magazine , and he was also appointed a member of the Hulton Press management committee . He left Hultons in 1959 when they were taken over by Odhams Press , joining the National Magazine Company , a subsidiary of the Hearst Corporation , as editorial director . However , he continued to write serials for the Eagle in the early 1960s , mostly on historical or religious subjects and often in collaboration with Guy Daniel , including `` The Golden Man '' , a biography of Sir Walter Raleigh drawn by Robert Ayton , and `` The Road of Courage '' , a retelling of the life of Christ illustrated by Hampson and Joan Porter .   He became managing director and editor-in-chief of the National Magazine Company in 1964 . He was responsible for launching the British edition of Cosmopolitan , created the distributor Comag in association with Condé Nast , and increased the circulation of his magazines at a time when the market was declining . He became deputy chairman in 1979 , received the OBE in 1983 , and retired in 1984 . In his later years he lived in Midford , Somerset , and died on 16 March 1989 at the King Edward VII Hospital for Officers , London . A memorial service was held at St. Bride 's , Fleet Street , where he had been honorary chaplain from 1952 to 1983 .

neg: Lee Morris (musician) Lee Morris ( born 1970 in Wolverhampton , England ) came from a musical family and started playing the drums at six years of age . He learnt his instrument from his dad ( Ivor Morris ) and spent many hours during his early years playing along with various records from the family record collection . At age 12 , he joined his first High School covers band , playing the top 40 songs at the time , but the band never played outside the school walls . At the age of 14 , Morris discovered a love of rock music after hearing the Iron Maiden Killers and Kiss Alive ! albums .   Morris joined his first rock covers band called Wyzed in the early 1980s , and got to enjoy playing rock regularly at various halls , pubs and clubs throughout the Midlands . He got frustrated with playing covers at that time , and joined Royale , that included Vince O'Regan ( Bob Catley / Pulse ) in the line-up . During the late 1980s and early 1990s Morris played in his first signed band which was the Birmingham based Marshall Law . He recorded an EP ( Power Crazy EP ) , one studio album ( Power Game ) and one live album with the outfit before they disbanded . At the start of 1991 , Morris auditioned for Little Angels , after a recommendation from departing drummer Michael Lee . He got down to the last two but eventually lost out to Mark Richardson .   After the demise of Marshall Law , Morris was invited to team up with guitarist Robin George in a band called The Promise . He recorded a demo for their album , and appeared on the James Whale TV show , before joining Paradise Lost in December 1994 . He recorded seven albums with the band between 1994 and 2003 and got to tour the globe several times and played on Top of the Pops in Germany . Blabbermouth reported that Morris `` parted ways '' with Paradise Lost in 2004 due to `` personal and musical differences '' .   After leaving Paradise Lost , Morris began teaching drums to aspiring drummers , while also getting involved in session work . His first session was some live dates with Ten . He also worked with Danny Vaughn , recording two albums with Vaughn ; Traveller and The Road Less Travelled . In 2010 , he recorded the Methods To End It All album with Creation 's Tears .

neg: Certain People I Know `` Certain People I Know '' was a single by Morrissey released in December 1992 . It was the third single to be taken from the Your Arsenal album and was the third and final Morrissey single to be produced by glam rock legend Mick Ronson .   Reaching number 35 in the UK Singles Chart , the song had the distinction of being Morrissey 's lowest charting solo single up to that point .   The track is in many ways a tribute to the influence of Marc Bolan on both Morrissey and his guitarist Boz Boorer , featuring a guitar line played by producer Mick Ronson that recalls `` Ride a White Swan '' by T. Rex .   This was also the first Morrissey single to be released following the singer 's bottling off stage at the Madstock festival when he supported Madness and the subsequent NME story regarding his alleged racism . This led to the single cover being changed from featuring the singer 's name spelt out in the colours of the Union Jack to plain black writing .   The video to the track was shot in Chicago .

neg: The Family Way (soundtrack) The Family Way is a soundtrack recording composed by Paul McCartney , released in January 1967 . The album is the soundtrack to the 1966 film of the same name , directed by Roy Boulting and starring Hayley Mills . Produced and arranged by George Martin , the album was credited to `` The George Martin Orchestra '' and issued under the full title The Family Way ( Original Soundtrack Album ) . A 45rpm single , again credited to the George Martin Orchestra , was issued on 23 December 1966 , comprising `` Love in the Open Air '' backed with `` Theme From ` The Family Way ' '' , as United Artists UP1165 .   The Family Way won an Ivor Novello Award in 1967 . It was remastered and released on CD in 1996 with new musical compositions not on the original 1967 soundtrack album .   The recording took place over November and December 1966 , before the Beatles began work on their album Sgt. Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band . McCartney 's involvement in the project was minimal , according to biographer Howard Sounes , who quotes Martin 's recollection that he had to `` pester Paul for the briefest scrap of a tune '' with which to start writing the score . After McCartney had provided `` a sweet little fragment of a waltz tune '' , Martin continued , `` I was able to complete the score . ''   Although The Family Way was released in January 1967 , most commentators consider George Harrison 's Wonderwall Music ( 1968 ) , also a film soundtrack , to be the first solo album by a member of the Beatles . Unlike with McCartney 's film score , Harrison directed and produced the recordings for Wonderwall Music , in addition to playing on some of the album .   Following a 2003 CD reissue in mono , in 2011 a new remastered version of the soundtrack was released by Varese Vintage that featured the original 1967 score by Paul McCartney in the original sequence , remastered from the original first generation stereo master tapes , and included the unreleased stereo mix of `` A Theme From The Family Way '' as a bonus track , which had appeared originally as the B-side of the 1966 UK/US 7-inch single by the Tudor Minstrels .

neg: Music of Life Music of Life is a British independent dance music label formed in 1986 by two influential DJ remixers , Froggy and Simon Harris , managed by Chris France . Following several successful productions , one of which reached No. 3 in the UK pop music charts ( The Real Thing 's ` You to me are Everything ' ) Harris and Froggy decided to launch their own label , they were offered a label deal by Morgan Khan ( Streetwave ) and the first release was a remix by the duo of Cerrone 's ` Supernature ' ( his ` Music of Life song was the inspiration for the label name ) . Within a few months Froggy left the label and Streetwave went out of business . Harris being active in remixing and production for many other artists and labels financed the label with his remix income .

Music of Life opened an office in London 's Soho at 22 Hanway Street , Chris France and his sister Michelle spent their days in the busy Soho office whilst Simon could usually be found in his home studio ` The Bunker ' producing many of the Music of Life releases .   At first the label licensed new rap music from US production company Powerplay for the first compilation album ` Def Beats 1 ' but as an addition to the US material Harris produced an extra track , under his own ` Music of Life Productions ' recorded in London by the label 's A&R man Derek Boland . ` Rock the Beat ' by Derek B created a demand for British hip-hop and the demo tapes started to arrive , Music of Life signed the best artists instead of licensing more US material and Harris would produce many new songs featuring artists including M.C Duke , The Demon Boyz ( Million Dan ) , Thrashpack , Asher D and Daddy Freddy , CJ Macintosh & Einstein , She Rockers ( Betty Boo ) , Hijack and many more .   Many of these recordings broke ground and are still considered to be highly innovative , the first reggae/hip-hop combination ( Asher D & Daddy Freddy 's ` Ragamuffin Hip Hop ) and Derek B 's album would be licensed to US label ` Profile ' ( Run DMC ) , Hijack would be signed to Ice-T 's Rhyme syndicate label and many more . Music Week wrote that Music of Life was `` the most successful hip hop label in the UK right now '' , in 1988 . Record Mirror identified Music of Life as one of the few hip hop labels `` to believe in home grown talent '' .
