By the mid-'70s, a number of problems were threatening to break up the original line-up of Black Sabbath. The stress brought on by lengthy touring, drug use, and alcoholism had begun to dilute the band's original, influential heavy metal. Sabbath began to drift away from the straight-ahead power rock of such classic albums as PARANOID and SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH, as evidenced by its final two albums to feature singer Ozzy Osbourne, 1976's TECHNICAL ECSTASY and 1978's NEVER SAY DIE. However, TECHNICAL ECSTASY does contain some intriguing, overlooked tracks.
The best known song of the bunch is the album-closing rocker "Dirty Women," which explores the topic of prostitution, and was later featured on the original line-up's 1998 live album, REUNION. Drummer Bill Ward sings his one and only song with the band, "It's Alright," which is amongst Sabbath's most pop-friendly compositions ever. Also featured is the pacing album opener "Back Street Kids," the heavy blues and funk of "All Moving Parts (Stand Still)," and the somewhat predictable "Rock n' Roll Doctor." Osbourne would grow disillusioned with the band and would leave after the completion of TECHNICAL ECSTASY's subsequent tour, but would eventually return for one final album and road jaunt.
Recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida.
Black Sabbath: Ozzy Osbourne (vocals); Tony Iommi (guitar); Geezer Butler (bass); Bill Ward (drums, background vocals).
Additional personnel: Gerald Woodruffe (keyboards).

Apologies to Paul from Merseyside, this is a total waste of resources. It sounds like the worst Sabbath cover band ever. It was not released- it was excreted. Go revisit the first five albums- its all you need to hear.

The worst of the Ozzy years
This was definitely a low point for the band. Any of the other stuff is better including most of the stuff after Ozzy. Sabbath doesn't have any 2 star releases though.

I remember buying this album (8-track) in 1976, and one thing I know is it reached down in my rock & roll soul and had a effect on me. Much like any original Sabbath album TE was a joy to listen to, it moved me on different levels, There's no way I can put this album down...because I'm a true fan of Black Sabbath. This albums is great...especially compaired to todays aweful carbon-copy music that they try and pass-off as rock.
This album will always hold a special place for me back in the year 1976, and some 30 years later it still holds up quite well.
Rock on!

Technical Ecstasy album
$13.85
Continuing in the tradition of the From the Archives series, although differently titled, this compilation of demos and live tracks features Bolin both solo and with various other musicians and bandmembers. As with the other Tommy Bolin Archives releases, care is made to highlight many of the different aspects of Bolin's musical personality. Some of the songs evolved into different forms when and if released during Bolin's lifetime. "Oh Carol," for example, is a smooth, relaxed, sultry acoustic number that evolved into the fast rocker "From Another Time" when recorded with the James Gang. Alternatively, "Summer Breezes" and "Spanish Lover" (also eventually recorded with the James Gang) are not changed much in feel and structure from their final versions. Other highlights include "Cucumber Jam," an eight-minute, 16-second instrumental recorded with drums and bass that gives Bolin a chance to stretch out and do what he does best. ~ Rob Caldwell

| | Jere Stormer Lingo CD (2004)
Technical Ecstasy CD music
$14.79
One of Jere's first memories is of Ricky Nelson singing at the end of an Ozzie & Harriet rerun. Impressed by how much fun playing music looked, Jere began begging his parents for a guitar ... only taking time out to eat and sleep... Several years later, he was given a Hi-Lo 6-string guitar from Federal's Department Store. He's been practicing music ever since... only taking time out to eat and sleep... His ten years at Public Radio exposed him to songs and music from all over the world, and he in turn, passed along his musical discoveries to listeners as a program host. Now Jere is mostly known for his songs: topical, if not tropical; humorous, if not peculiar. His musical style-scrambling is prime evidence that he spent a little too much time in school. But while at college Jere won a few literary awards ...

Technical Ecstasy music CDs
$10.15
Named "one of Chicago's ten hottest rising artists" by the Chicago Tribune, Sean "SB" Butler is at the forefront of a hip-hop revolution. His motivational lyrics and passionate stage show have earned him international recognition from devoted fans and industry insiders alike. Likewise, his commitment to addressing social ills and promoting positive values in his music have drawn comparisons to U2 front man, Bono, and reggae legend Bob Marley...high praise for this industry newcomer. Such reception has enabled him to open for and share billing with a host of celebrated acts including Erykah Badu, Common, Kanye West, Talib Kweli, De La Soul, KRS ONE, Dead Prez and many others. A refreshing blend of hip-hop with influences from soul, jazz, rock and R&B, SB's music convincingly takes hip-hop to a new plateau. While his music signals a much needed change in contemporary content, he has successfully garnered airplay from core commercial radio stations such as New York's 107.5 FM (WBLS), Chicago's 107. 5 FM (WGCI) and 92. 3 FM (Power 92) without any of the profanity and vulgarity that is prevalent in the genre today. Focusing instead on producing quality music with substance, his songs have been featured on numerous college radio stations and mixtape ...
| | Erin Hay The Collection CD (2006) Greatest Hits
Technical Ecstasy songs
$16.45
Erin was born and raised in Southern California. Born to Edward (who sadly passed away from Cancer when Erin was only six years old) and Patricia Hay on November 25, 1970, she has always been a performer and has always loved music. In fact, if you listen to her mom, she'll tell you Erin "sang" her first song at 3 months old. She was exposed to all kinds of music growing up, from her mother's Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney and Judy Garland albums to her two older brothers (Joe and Ken) playing Rock and Roll to her Dad's favorite, Marty Robbins. But at age seven, when Erin heard Dolly Parton sing for the first time, her love and admiration for traditional Country Music began to grow. She discovered Loretta Lynn after the film Coal Miner's Daughter came out and soon after discovered Tammy Wynette. These great ladies, along with the likes of George Jones, Jack Greene and Roy Acuff, became her influences, and it was through them that Erin was introduced to stories of Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry. She quickly took to the music and to the tradition. This is what she loves to sing. Although singing was a great love of hers, it seemed acting was more of a calling throughout school. In 1987, Erin entered the Fountain Valley Jr. Miss Pageant and won the Performing Arts Award for performing a comedic monologue from Lily Tomlin's one woman show, "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe." Erin had plans of attending UCLA as a Theatre Arts major. She had aspirations of following in the footsteps of her two other idols, Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett. This, of course, never happened. While attending college in California, Erin realized she did not take the acting craft as seriously as everyone else did. What she did take seriously was her music. Erin knew in her heart that Nashville was where she wanted to be. The real turning point came after a visit backstage at the Grand Ole Opry and a meeting with Mr. Roy Acuff. That was the environment she longed for. She wanted to sing on that stage and knew she had some dues to pay. Erin moved to Nashville in 1991 with her mother to attend Belmont University as a Music Business major. Since the move, she has interned at RCA Records and Sony Music, recorded many demos for Nashville songwriters and performed at many Nashville clubs. Erin recorded her first independent album in 1992 with the help of producer and songwriter, Lonnie Ratliff. It was a cassette tape compiled mostly of demo recordings and included a song called "Somebody's Angel," which she later re-recorded. Erin graduated from Belmont in 1995 and was hired by a film production company in Nashville, working with such artists as Garth Brooks, Faith Hill and Janet Jackson in ...
