Fatherland is the third solo album by Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke. The album was released on 6 October 2017 and was his first solo album released under his full name instead of the professional name of Kele; the album was a departure from the alternative dance and electro house style of his previous two albums and instead opted for a folk sound inspired by Joni Mitchell and Elliott Smith. The album focuses on Kele's experiences being a father despite being a gay man as well as reconnecting with his Nigerian heritage; the album features duets from Olly Alexander from synth-pop band Years & Years and Corinne Bailey Rae on the songs "Grounds for Resentment" and "Versions of Us." Kele embarked on his first solo acoustic tour in support of the album in May 2017 in which he played a mixture of the album, previous solo songs and acoustic renditions of Bloc Party songs. Fatherland received "generally favourable reviews" from critics. Critics praised Okereke's honest and personal lyrics as well as usage of "tenor sax, soft electric piano and clarinets."

Neil Young from AllMusic described the album as "forlorn and delicate" and as remaining "mostly sullen and sharp in its content, but the instrumentation helps lift the songs from the gloom." He praised Okereke's restraint and maturation as a songwriter. Leander Hobbs from The Line of Best Fit described the duets with Olly Alexander and Corinne Bailey Rae as showing "that Okereke understands how to add greater texture and contrast to his shaky vocals without resorting to the autotuned experiments of his early career." However, others were critical of the album, with The Guardian describing "Okereke's shaky voice" as making the album "far slighter than it might have been." Paste magazine said it was a shame "that what lies behind dozens of layers of metaphorical shrouds, isn’t a bit more poetic and interesting." Credits adapted from Discogs.

The Kaure–Kosare languages are a small family in West Papua, near the northern border with Papua New Guinea. The languages are Kosare. Kaure and Kosare are related. There is a history of classifying them with the Kapori–Sause languages; however and Sause show no particular connection to the Kaure languages, may be closer to Kwerba. Foley considers a connection with Trans-New Guinea to be promising, but tentatively leaves Kaure-Kosare out as an independent language family pending further evidence. Usher reconstructs the consonant inventory as follows: Coda consonants are stop *C and nasal *N. Diphthongs are *ɛi, *ɛu, *ai *au. Usher reconstructs the pronouns as: Kaure -- Malcolm.

In Māori mythology, accounts vary somewhat as to the ancestry of Rātā. He is a grandson of Tāwhaki and son of Wahieroa. Wahieroa is treacherously killed by an ogre. Rātā sets out to avenge the murder, travelling to the home of Matuku, where a servant of the ogre tells him that Matuku comes out to devour people each new moon, that he can be killed at the pool where he washes his face and hair. Rātā waits till the ogre is leaning over with his head in the pool, he kills him. Matuku's bones are used to make spears for hunting birds. Rātā searches for his father's bones, he learns. He must build a canoe to get there, he goes into the forest, fells a tree, cuts off the top. His day's work over, he goes home, returns the next morning. To his surprise he finds the tree standing whole. Once again he cuts it down, he hides in the forest, hears the voices of the multitude of the hākuturi, who set to work to re-erect the tree, putting each chip into its proper place. He runs out and catches some of the hakuturi, who tell him they re-erected the tree because he insulted Tāne, the god of the forest, by not performing the correct rituals before felling the tree.

Rātā is ashamed, expresses regret. The hākuturi make him a canoe, naming it Niwaru. Rātā and his people paddle off to find the Ponaturi. Arriving, Rātā cleverly surrounds them, kills their priests, rescues his father's bones; the Ponaturi give chase. The battle goes badly until Rātā recites an incantation called Titikura that he overheard their priests recite while they were tapping together the bones of Wahieroa. In a flash all Rātā's dead warriors return to attack and slaughter all of the Ponaturi. Rātā is the father of Tūwhakararo, the father of Whakatau. Rata Rata Laka B. G.

Turn It On! is an album by saxophonist Sonny Stitt recorded in 1971 and released on the Prestige label. The album features Stitt using the varitone, an electronic amplification device which altered the saxophone's sound. Allmusic reviewed the album stating "Stitt uses an electrical device on his tenor that waters down his tone a bit. With organist Leon Spencer, guitarist Melvin Sparks and drummer Idris Muhammad setting down unrelenting grooves on most of the five numbers, Stitt only seems to be making cameo appearances". All compositions by Leon Spencer except where noted "Turn It On" - 11:10 "Bar-B-Que Man" - 7:59 "Miss Riverside" - 9:28 "Cry Me a River" - 3:54 "There Are Such Things" - 4:01 Sonny Stitt - tenor saxophone, varitone Virgil Jones - trumpet Leon Spencer Jr. - organ Melvin Sparks - guitar Idris Muhammad - drums
