Snow Blindness
Photokeratitis or ultraviolet keratitis is a painful eye condition caused by exposure of insufficiently protected eyes to the ultraviolet (UV) rays from either natural (e.g. intense sunlight) or artificial (e.g. the electric arc during welding) sources. Photokeratitis is akin to a sunburn of the cornea and conjunctiva. The injury may be prevented by wearing eye protection that blocks most of the ultraviolet radiation, such as welding goggles with the proper filters, a welder's helmet, sunglasses rated for sufficient UV protection, or appropriate snow goggles. The condition is usually managed by removal from the source of ultraviolet radiation, covering the corneas, and administration of pain relief. Photokeratitis is known by a number of different terms including: snow blindness, arc eye, welder's flash, bake eyes, corneal flash burns, flash burns, niphablepsia, or keratoconjunctivitis photoelectrica. Signs and symptoms Common symptoms include pain, intense tears, eyelid t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aurora (Susumu Hirasawa Album)
''Aurora'' is Susumu Hirasawa's fourth solo album. Overview His first main solo album in three years following a period where focus was directed on the Defrosted P-Model, ''Aurora'', which Hirasawa has said can be considered a second solo debut, is a turning point in his career. Unlike the previous solo albums, ''Aurora'' doesn't feature guest musicians, with almost all instrumentation handled by MIDI-compatible devices. The music was composed with the Amiga The Blue Ribbon SoundWorks programs Bars & Pipes Professional, which he started using for "more natural orchestration", and SuperJAM!, whose " Bartok" style he modified by inputting data from his own songs, irreversibly turning its patterns and variations into "Hirasawa" style ones. ''Aurora'' was created to appeal to the instinctual side of the listener as opposed to the logical, in likeness to tales and myths, emphasizing vocals and melody. The songs were written so that the album would lack any inherent story or concept, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He stated that ''Bloodsports'' is "about lust, it's about the chase, it's about the endless carnal game of love. It was possibly the hardest we've ever made but certainly the most satisfying". The band performed new material in 2011, most of which got scrapped when they went into the studio with Ed Buller, the producer of their first three albums.Neighbour, Flora "Suede Ditch All Material Recorded for New Album" Gigwise. 11 May 2012.

Drowning With Land In Sight
''Drowning with Land in Sight'' is the seventh studio album by American rock band The 77s. It was released in 1994 on Myrrh Records. The music, their heaviest up to that point, ranged from the opening note-for-note Led Zeppelin cover to the straightforward Rolling Stones homage "Cold Cold Night" to Roy Orbison-influenced ballads "Film at 11", "The Jig Is Up", and "Alone Together". The lyrics primarily reflected the stress of singer Michael Roe's divorce, except for "Dave's Blues", about guitarist David Leonhardt's illness with cancer. At the record label's insistence, the final track was written and added to provide a more upbeat conclusion. Also, a vulgarity in "Dave's Blues" was backward masked into unintelligibility.

Snowblind (Styx Song)
"Snowblind" is a song by Styx that appears on the '' Paradise Theatre'' album released in 1981. The song is about the helplessness of cocaine addiction, alternating between slow, brooding verses (sung by James Young) and a faster, harder-edged chorus (sung by Tommy Shaw), representing the addict's cycle of highs and lows. "Snowblind" was written by Dennis DeYoung and Young with uncredited lyrics by Shaw. The single reached #22 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Shaw said of the song in 2011: Controversy Claims were made by anti-rock-music activists during the early 1980s that the song's lyrics were Satanistic and contained hidden backwards messages. The line "I try so hard to make it so" when played in reverse was alleged to be "Satan moves through our voices". Aural inspection however suggests that any resemblance the line's reversed phonemes had to this phrase was slight, and likely coincidental. The protestors used "Snowblind" as one of several examples of rock songs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
