2.Ricochet is a country band from Oklahoma best known for their #1 hit "Daddy's Money" (1996).
Ricochet emerged in the spring of 1996 to become one of the most successful new country groups, spending the better part of the year in the Top 40 of the country charts. The band formed in 1993, when drummer Jeff Bryant invited singer/guitarist Heath Wright to join his group Lariat, which also featured Bryant's brother Junior (fiddle/mandolin). Lariat disbanded soon after Wright joined, but he and the Bryants decided to try again under the name Ricochet. They held auditions to complete the band, and several members floated through it in the ensuing months. By the beginning of 1994, the final lineup had fallen into place with the addition of Greg Cook (bass, backing vocals), Teddy Carr (steel guitar), and Eddie Kilgallon (keyboards, rhythm guitar, saxophone, backing vocals). For the next two years, Ricochet toured the South and the West Coast, building up a fan base and developing its energetic, edgy neo-traditional sound. They often spent their downtime rehearsing and writing songs.
The group's original manager was friends with record producer Ron Chancey, who was known for his work with the Oak Ridge Boys. Chancey heard the group and arranged for them to cut a demo. He directed the tape to his son Blake, A&R director for Columbia Records in Nashville. After hearing Ricochet live, Blake Chancey and a handful of other Columbia executives decided to sign the band to a development deal under the direction of producer Ed Seay (Martina McBride, Collin Raye). In early 1995, the deal turned into a full-fledged record contract, and during the spring, the group recorded their first album. For the rest year, they toured the country as a supporting act for Merle Haggard, Doug Stone, and Charlie Daniels.
Ricochet's eponymous debut album, produced by Ron Chancey and Ed Seay, was released in early 1996. Preceded by the Top Five hit single "What Do I Know," the album was a hit and stayed on the charts for more than a year as "Daddy's Money" hit number one and "Love Is Stronger Than Pride" reached the Top Ten. The follow-up album, Blink of an Eye, was released the very next year, but it was a commercial disappointment, even though it produced three minor chart singles. Ricochet charted modestly with another three songs in 1998-1999, tracks intended for an album to be called What a Ride that was not released. In the meantime, the band underwent personnel changes. Jeff Bryant, suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, left the drum chair, succeeded by Tim Chewning in August 1999, and Shannon Farmer replaced Teddy Carr on steel guitar. Meanwhile, Richochet retooled its third album, finally releasing it in September 2000 as What You Leave Behind.
3. . (NWOBHM quartet) RICOCHET
The band’s sole release during their life-time was the excellent “Midas Light” 7” single, released in 1980.
The single was recorded at Ginger Studios, Aldridge (where WITCHFINDER GENERAL recorded “Burning A Sinner”), and released as a “double B-side” with the nowhere-near-as-good flip-side, “Off The Rails”.
Just 500 copies of the single were pressed, most of which were sold at their gigs.
Later that year Ricochet toured Germany.
At the end of the tour bassist “The Finn” opted to stay on in Germany.
The other three members returned to England and formed a brand new band called THE CANERS.
“The Finn” went on to form a new band called DAMIEN, who got a German record deal.
Over the years “Midas Light” became a highly regarded classic NWOBHM single, much sought after by collectors.
Ricochet got back together for 2 weeks in 2000 and re-recorded “Midas Light” in a Coventry studio, together with some other tracks.
These tracks were made available on CD through the band’s website, as the six song “Midas Light” mini-album.
However the band members then went their seperate ways again.
In 2005 “The Finn” was managing a music festival in Northampton, where he arranged for Ricochet to make a guest appearance.
They played “Midas Light”, “Dreadnought” and “Off The Rails”, and went down a storm.
In 2010 the band members converged to live on the outskirts of Birmingham, for the first time in 30 years.
After meeting up for a beer it transpired that they all missed the Ricochet times and decided to give it one more throw of the dice.
The revived band have recorded a new single, “The Blue Eyed Beggar & The Teenage Captain”, and are reportedly working on a full length album.

Ricochet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
мне подари еще раз
бесстыдное то чувство превосходства
над миром, что обычно сер и уныл
в послеобеденной тиши глубокой комы.
Дай обещание мой друг,
что мы вернёмся снова
и прогремим по улицам обозом.
Пора спустить с цепи животное,
я слышу его смех внутри.
И с радостью прощаюсь со своим
последним пациентом.
Врач перед зеркалом теперь
свои привычные черты стирает,
малюясь в грим, чтобы визжали и тряслись
вороны, свиньи и быки от дикой ненависти,
ведь к ним спешат под град бутылок и ударов бит,
самих себя развеселить бродячие артисты.
Не надо красного вина,
мы угощаем собственною кровью ваших детей,
играем и страдаем ради них,
чтоб было им, что вспомнить.
Ваш город, как и все другие
ржавеет в признаках распада,
но после громкой эскапады
нам жаль бросать его уродство.
Пусть где-то остановится фургон,
мы оживим давнишнее кострище.
И лишь захочет отравить
своих вассалов ночь, спокойным сном,
нас сам найдёт цыган с марихуаной.
Не отрезвев и не придя в сознание,
мы утром продолжаем путь.
Раз неминуемо свершится
наше безумное камлание,
так ярче факелы горите
когда ударят барабаны,
Тем яростнее подпевайте
Змеи неслышному шипенью
Вы, самозваные шаманы
В преддверии самосожжения
Танцуйте молодые ведьмы
Под вой расстроенной гитары.
Она торжественно ликует,
Лицо скрывая волосами,
Никто друг друга не узнает,
У нас отсутствуют приметы
Соединил обрывки песни
Под еле слышный такт минета
The lyrics of Ricochet's "Tape Noon" delve into themes of rebellion, desire for power and freedom, and a rejection of societal norms. The singer asks for the feeling of superiority over the world, which is usually dull and lifeless in the afternoon silence. They promise to return and make noise in the streets, releasing their inner animal and bidding farewell to their last patient. The singer personifies themselves as a doctor who is wiping away their usual features to apply makeup and become a clown for the audience's entertainment. They reject the idea of red wine and instead suggest that they will drink the blood of the people's children, playing and suffering for the sake of the children having something to remember. The last lines of the song bring together the disjointed narrative and describe a situation where a van stops by a long-dead bonfire, and the singer promises that they will continue their journey with no sobering or waking up. They describe the upcoming wild gatherings and rituals, where people will dance to the sound of distressed guitars.
The song's lyrics paint vivid imagery of a dystopic society where people seek to escape the mundane and embrace chaos and rebellion. The stark contrast between the silent and dull world of the afternoon and the chaotic and frenzied gatherings at night speaks to the singer's desire for freedom from society's norms. The references to drinking children's blood and smoking marijuana with gypsies emphasize the themes of rebellion and breaking free from societal constraints. The lines describing how the clowns want to entertain people with their painted faces suggest that they still seek approval from others, even as they rebel against societal norms.

Врач перед зеркалом теперь
The doctor now in front of the mirror
свои привычные черты стирает,
erasing his familiar features,
малюясь в грим, чтобы визжали и тряслись
painting himself with makeup, so crows,
вороны, свиньи и быки от дикой ненависти,
pigs and cattle would scream and shake with wild hatred,
ведь к ним спешат под град бутылок и ударов бит,
because they are being rushed towards, under a hail of bottles and blows,
самих себя развеселить бродячие артисты.
by wandering artists trying to amuse themselves.
Не надо красного вина,
No need for red wine,
мы угощаем собственною кровью ваших детей,
we treat ourselves to your children's own blood,
играем и страдаем ради них,
we play and suffer for them,
чтоб было им, что вспомнить.
so that they have something to remember.
Ваш город, как и все другие
Your city, like all the others,
ржавеет в признаках распада,
rusts with signs of decay,
но после громкой эскапады
but after a loud escapade,
нам жаль бросать его уродство.
we don't want to leave its ugliness behind.
Пусть где-то остановится фургон,
Let the van stop somewhere,
мы оживим давнишнее кострище.
We'll revive an old bonfire.
И лишь захочет отравить
And only when it wants to poison
своих вассалов ночь, спокойным сном,
its own vassals with a peaceful night,
нас сам найдёт цыган с марихуаной.
will the gypsy with marijuana find us.
Не отрезвев и не придя в сознание,
Without sobering up or regaining consciousness,
мы утром продолжаем путь.
we continue our journey in the morning.
Раз неминуемо свершится
Since it's inevitably going to happen,
наше безумное камлание,
our crazy rampage,
так ярче факелы горите
so brighter burn the torches
когда ударят барабаны,
when the drums start beating,
Тем яростнее подпевайте
The more fervent your singing
Змеи неслышному шипенью
to the snakes' inaudible hissing
Вы, самозваные шаманы
You, self-proclaimed shamans,
В преддверии самосожжения
In the face of self-immolation,
Танцуйте молодые ведьмы
Young witches, dance
Под вой расстроенной гитары.
to the sound of a dissonant guitar.
Она торжественно ликует,
She triumphantly rejoices,
Лицо скрывая волосами,
hiding her face with her hair,
Никто друг друга не узнает,
No one will recognize each other,
У нас отсутствуют приметы
We have no distinguishing features
Соединил обрывки песни
I stitched the scraps of a song together
Под еле слышный такт минета
To the barely audible beat of a blowjob
