In Some Other World
"In Some Other World" is a song by British duo Wax, which was released in 1988 as the third and final single from their second studio album ''American English'' (1987). The song was written by band members Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman, and produced by Christopher Neil. "In Some Other World" failed to make an appearance on the UK Singles Chart, but was a top 40 success in Belgium, where it reached No. 37 on the Ultratop 50 Flanders chart in April 1988. The song's music video was directed by Storm Thorgerson. Critical reception On its release, ''Music & Media'' described "In Some Other World" as "first-rate pure pop" and "full of bouncing excitement".

Tony Beard of ''Record Mirror'' wrote, "Horrific Euro-disco that is downright offensive. A polished dross full of bouncy, kiddie-keyb ...

Song Recordings Produced By Christopher Neil
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers ...

Wax (British Band) Songs
Waxes are a diverse class of organic compounds that are lipophilic, malleable solids near ambient temperatures. They include higher alkanes and lipids, typically with melting points above about 40 °C (104 °F), melting to give low viscosity liquids. Waxes are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar organic solvents such as hexane, benzene and chloroform. Natural waxes of different types are produced by plants and animals and occur in petroleum. Chemistry Waxes are organic compounds that characteristically consist of long aliphatic alkyl chains, although aromatic compounds may also be present. Natural waxes may contain unsaturated bonds and include various functional groups such as fatty acids, primary and secondary alcohols, ketones, aldehydes and fatty acid esters. Synthetic waxes often consist of homologous series of long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons (alkanes or paraffins) that lack functional groups. Plant and animal waxes Waxes are synthesized by ma ...
