Rimmel (album)
Rimmel is an album of Italian singer-songwriter Francesco De Gregori. It was released in 1975 by RCA Italia, and is generally considered among De Gregori's finest works, containing some of his most popular songs, such as "Rimmel", "Pablo" and "Buonanotte fiorellino".
The album
The LP was well received both by critics and the public, and established De Gregori as one of the most popular singer-songwriters in his country. It was one of the best selling albums of 1975 in Italy, with over 500.000 copies sold.
The song "Le storie di ieri" ("The Stories of Yesterday"), was sung by Fabrizio De André in his earlier album written together with De Gregori, Volume 8 (1974). Although the song is entirely written by De Gregori, the version in Rimmel contains minor differences in the lyrics.
Lucio Dalla is credited as co-author of the music for "Pablo" and also probably sings in a choir of the latter song.

"@" (album)
"@" is a studio album by John Zorn and Thurston Moore. It is the first collaborative album by the duo and was recorded in New York City in February, 2013 and released by Tzadik Records in September 2013. The album consists of improvised music by Zorn and Moore that was recorded in the studio in real time with no edits or overdubs.
Reception
Allmusic said "@ finds two of New York City's longest-running fringe dwellers churning out sheets of collaborative sounds that conjoin their respective and distinct states of constant freak-out... These seven improvisations sound inspired without feeling at all heavy-handed or urgent. More so, @ succeeds with the type of conversational playing that could only be achieved by two masters so deep into their craft that it probably feels a lot like breathing to them by now".

Album
Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at 33 1⁄3 rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century albums sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used in the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl.
An album may be recorded in a recording studio (fixed or mobile), in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to several years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, so as to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", allow for reverberation, which creates a "live" sound. The majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.
Rimmel
Rimmel (commonly known as Rimmel London) is a British maufactured cosmetics brand, now owned by Coty, Inc. The House of Rimmel was originally founded by Eugène Rimmel as a perfumery in 1834 in Regent Street, London, England.
Within a year of opening, Eugène Rimmel came to create many make-up products including his best-known: mascara, giving rise to the term 'rimmel' being used to mean 'mascara' in many Mediterranean languages. With his creative success in these products, Rimmel London began producing make-up products, including pomades and mouth rinses. Today, Rimmel London is one of the world's most popular make-up producers.
Marketing
Rimmel's company motto is "Get the London Look". In the past, Rimmel was modelled by ITV's Holly Willoughby. The current faces of Rimmel are Kate Moss alongside Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Lily Cole, and Ayumi Hamasaki. It was announced in October 2009 that Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger's daughter Georgia May Jagger and Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha were set to join to the line up of Rimmel London spokeswomen. Within days of Rocha's first campaign release, Rimmel announced that they had signed Zooey Deschanel, Solange Knowles and Alejandra Ramos Munoz would help the brand launch into the global marketplace. In 2013, Rimmel announced their collaboration with British singer, Rita Ora, for a makeup collection.
