Triptych (The Tea Party Album)
''Triptych'' (stylized as ''TRIPtych'') is The Tea Party's fifth album, released in 1999. It has the trio blending the major influences found on their previous albums: the earthy rock of ''Splendor Solis'', the world music inspired arrangements of ''The Edges of Twilight'', and the industrial edge of ''Transmission''. After the gloom of ''Transmission'', which relied heavily on sampling and electronica, for ''Triptych'' the band wrote with both melody and content, while using electronica subtlety. This is evidenced by the Juno Award nominated single "Heaven Coming Down", the band's first number one single in Canada. The album itself reached #4 on the Canadian album chart, and received a Juno nomination for "Best Rock Album", before achieving double platinum sales in Canada. In June 2000, the EMI labels in Europe released ''Triptych Special Tour Edition 2000'', which included a bonus disc of eight unreleased songs. Reception In 2005, ''Triptych'' was ranked number 435 in ''R ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

World Music
"World music" is an English phrase for styles of music from non-English speaking countries, including quasi-traditional, Cross-cultural communication, intercultural, and traditional music. World music's broad nature and elasticity as a musical category pose obstacles to a universal definition, but its ethic of interest in the culturally exotic is encapsulated in ''Roots'' magazine's description of the genre as "local music from out there".Chris Nickson. ''The NPR Curious Listener's Guide to World Music''. Grand Central Press, 2004. pp. 1-2. Music that does not follow "North American or British Pop music, pop and Folk music, folk traditions" was given the term "world music" by music industries in Europe and North America. The term was popularized in the 1980s as a marketing category for non-Western traditional music. It has grown to include subgenres such as ethnic fusion (Clannad, Ry Cooder, Enya, etc.) and worldbeat. Lexicology The term "world music" has been credited to et ...

Sister Awake
''The Edges of Twilight'' is the third album by Canadian rock band The Tea Party, released in 1995. The album features many instruments from around the world, giving various songs a strong world music flavour in addition to the rock/blues influences evident in the band's earlier releases. Jeff Burrows explained that "basically we wanted to expand upon the initial idea that we tried on ''Splendor Solis'', which was trying to incorporate different styles of world music into our music. So with this album we became more familiar with many more instruments. In our minds we were trying to do for a rock album what Peter Gabriel does to pop by infusing various cultures, percussion and exotic sounds into it." ''The Edges of Twilight'' helped propel the band into mainstream success in their native Canada, where it reached #11 on the Canadian album chart and double platinum status, and earned the band several Juno nominations, including "Best Rock Album" and "Group of the Year".

Platinum Album
Music recording certification is a system of certifying that a music recording has shipped, sold, or streamed a certain number of units. The threshold quantity varies by type (such as album, single, music video) and by nation or territory (see List of music recording certifications). Almost all countries follow variations of the RIAA certification categories, which are named after precious materials (gold, platinum and diamond). The threshold required for these awards depends upon the population of the territory where the recording is released. Typically, they are awarded only to international releases and are awarded individually for each country where the album is sold. Different sales levels, some perhaps 10 times greater than others, may exist for different music media (for example: videos versus albums, singles, or music download).
