Mark-Almond / Other People Rooms
First of all, please do not confuse Mark-Almond with Marc Almond (ex Soft Cell). Mark-Almond is the duo unit comprising of Jon Mark and Johnny Almond. This duo released 4 albums with CBS in early 70's and disbanded once. In 1976, they restarted their collaboration and moved to United States to release "To The Heart" with abc Records. Tommy Lipuma, a great producer offered them to release an album under Horizon, Tommy's own label. As shown on the album jacket, this album's mood is a European-flavored sophisticated jazzy night music, which is a little bit similar with those of Michael Franks.

David Garfield And Friends / Tribute To Jeff
Among the greatest drummers of all time, late Jeffery Thomas Porcaro aka Jeff Porcaro must be the best of the best in 1970’s ,1980’s and early 1990’s before he passed on 5 August, 1992, at just 38 years old. At least, the readers of this must agree without any objections. It is not necessary who Jeff Porcaro is in details. Jeff played on the hundreds of album which are to be shown here at my ACMJ museum on this Muuseo.com, such as Boz Scaggs' "Silk Degrees", Bill Champlin’s “Single”, Airplay’s self-titled album, Steely Dan’s “Gaucho” and without saying his own band Toto’s albums. David Garfield led the project to record this album as a memorial and tribute to Jeff Porcaro, many musicians who were good friends of Jeff and worked with him got together. In 2003, David mentioned, “It was unfortunate that we ran out of time and space on the record to include more people. There were certainly plenty that wanted to participate, and some of them are listed on the cd credits under "You were missed." In any event, 13 tracks tribute CD were released finally.
