Liquid-crystal display
A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronic visual display that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly.
LCDs are available to display arbitrary images (as in a general-purpose computer display) or fixed images with low information content, which can be displayed or hidden, such as preset words, digits, and 7-segment displays as in a digital clock. They use the same basic technology, except that arbitrary images are made up of a large number of small pixels, while other displays have larger elements.

LCD (music act)
LCD were a computer generated dance act, active in the late 1990s. Signed to Virgin Records, their only hit single was a Europop version of the Greek song "Zorbas", entitled "Zorba's Dance". The music video to the song, made in computerised animation, featured a band of overweight men playing the song.
The single was a club hit in the UK, charting twice in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart, within 18 months of its original release, and was one of the first of its kind which was enabled to be played on a computer for its music video. The song was a big club hit in Australia due to its large Greek community supporting the song. The CD to the single pronounced LCD as "The world's first digital supergroup". The man behind the act was David K, a London based record producer.
A second single "Follow The Leader" did not chart and in 2000, LCD was discontinued. The video for "Follow The Leader" shows the act's name LCD stands for "Large Cool Dudes". The video also shows the four leading men were called Zed, Ed, Ned and Ted.

Earthbound (The 5th Dimension album)
Earthbound is the twelfth album by American pop group The 5th Dimension, released in 1975 by ABC Records. It is the last album in the group's original line up with Billy Davis, Jr., Marilyn McCoo, Florence La Rue Gordon, Lamonte McLemore and Ron Townson. After touring with the 5th Dimension in support of this album, Billy Davis, Jr. and Marilyn McCoo (being married since 1969) left the group to work as duo and solo artists.
In contrast to most of their prior albums, Earthbound features synthesizers prominently in many of its tracks—particularly "Magic In My Life" and "Moonlight Mile." "Magic in My Life," the second and final single released from the album ("Walk Your Feet in the Sunshine" was the first), a fan favorite, was also unusual in that it was the first 5th Dimension single to feature Florence LaRue on the lead (she would frequently be the lead on successive 5th Dimension singles with various lineups).
While this album was not commercially successful, it remains a cult favorite among many 5th Dimension fans who consider it among their best work. Other fans take a dim view of it. Perhaps owing to its singular status as an ABC Records product, for decades the album remained the only one from the original 5th Dimension lineup not re-released on CD. However it finally was released on CD in June 2014, though Real Gone Music.
