Domino is a 1998 album by the British New Wave group Squeeze. It is the band's twelfth and final studio album. After a career struggling with various major labels, the band decided to record and release Domino independently, on Glenn Tilbrook's own Quixotic Records. Core members Tilbrook and Chris Difford joined three brand new Squeeze members for this effort: drummer Ashley Soan, bassist Hilaire Penda, and keyboardist Chris Holland (Jools's younger brother). The album was hastily made, and received generally negative reactions from fans and critics. Difford and Tilbrook have both since denounced Domino as a weak effort, marred by time constraints and increasing friction between the two songwriters. Following a 1999 tour during which Difford failed to show up for a single show (he blamed troubles with alcoholism and an increasing hatred of touring), Squeeze decided to call it quits. Both Difford and Tilbrook have since released solo albums featuring many aspects of Squeeze's trademark sound, but it appears Domino will remain the final statement under the official Squeeze name.

For her fourth, and most immediate album so far, Juana Molina of Buenos Aires, Argentina, has set about capturing her famous blue melodies in a style close to her hypnotic live experience, but with all the immaculate production values we've come to expect from the creator of the critically acclaimed Tres Cosas and Segundo longplayers.
Juana Molina can, perhaps rather cheekily, be seen as kickstarting the new generation of performers who begin with their core group of instruments and a delay pedal, and take the relatively experimental approach of live sound-looping and manipulation to the pop-concert medium.
We also hear samples of sounds unfamiliar from previous albums, particularly on 'malherido', where twangs of banjo-like acoustic guitar bend and blend awkwardly into the sub-housey rhythms of the song, and a childlike sense of play seeps into the bizarre, momentarily aural landscape.
Led Zeppelin's fourth album was released on November 8, 1971.
The album was released with several different cover designs, each having the viewpoint of a different person in a bar watching a man burning something, which is revealed inside to be a Dear John letter.
In 1995, a tribute album entitled Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin was released.
