title: A snapshot in time, at the peak of the industrial genre

text: A compilation put together by the late, great Ric Laciak, founder of the defunct Ras Dva record label.  Industrial music as a genre has largely died out, but for a brief moment in time it was active with a lot of very good bands.  This particular compilation was put together while Industrial was at its very peak, and includes most if not all of the best and most influential bands of that genre.  This is a must own for Industrial fans everywhere and is an accidental snapshot in time of Industrial music at is very peak.  Absolutely superb.


title: Strengths and Weaknesses

text: I don't love this CD in its entirety, but there are enough strong songs on here to make it worth the purchase.  Ranging from empowering to comforting, lifting to moving, some of the songs are life altering.


title: Entertaining Documentary

text:
I enjoyed this documentary because the storyteller stays focused on the story: these 21st century hot-rodders and their dedication to original parts, authentic period hot rod styling and epic cross-country road trips. The photography is a little iffy early on with some really dirty lenses, but it improves as the movie goes on. The interviews are interesting and informative if not that entertaining.

The coolest cars. Descent music. Fun story.


title: Great music

text: I enjoy texican music but one of the original songs was missing.  That was the only thing I did not like.

title: These Guys Are Timeless

text: As you listen to this Minneapolis band play, you may be struck as I was at how timeless the music sounds.  You just don't hear the squeeze-box in bands much.  I'm not sure what this category this should be in.  It is so unique in its sound that you would not be surprised to hear it was released yesterday.  If you love punkish, interesting funky odd music you'll love these guys!  If you are a guitar rock freak, you would probably hate this disc.

text: Cd was deleivered in a fast manner and was in good shape.  We were very satisified


title: Very good

text: Bought this CD for the song "Fresh Air", which I really like and don't hear a whole lot on the radio anymore. "The Rapper" and Spirit in the Sky" are also favorites.


title: I love this cd

text: I love this cd!  Allen Levi is such a great singer/songwriter.  I bought an extra one to give away.  Thanks to Allen for his uplifting music.  It touches my soul.


title: Another great album from Chuck!

text: I wish more people knew and appreciated Chuck's music, because he's an all-too-secret American treasure—one I feel very fortunate to have discovered. A master storyteller, he's sensitive enough to make you cry one song, laugh the next, and swoon over his love of baseball the one after that. A true road warrior, Chuck (who doesn't have to ask people to be quiet and listen, since his performances demand one's attention) grooms his songs live—like several here that I first heard during his most recent swing through my fairly-remote city a year and a half—giving them depth and maturity by the time they're recorded. This felt like an old friend the first listen through, and, like all his albums, promises to improve even more with age. Highly recommended!


title: TAEMIN amazing album

text: My mom loved it. We loved the posters and album. The packaged arrived in perfect conditions and on time.

title: fantastic album!!!

text: this was great buy is you love this movie. I've enjoyed it so much... though something odd happens on side b. I've often fallen asleep to this and the album wouldn't stop spinning at the end, like it was stuck on a loop purposely. sounds like chanting and the more you listen to it the more the same words sound different... "something something kills" I cant make the first two words out but it sounds like a name.


title: GREAT songs!!!

text: GREAT music


title: "Traum" means "dream"

text: And this album is a dreamy album, one I've had since I was nine.  My sister brought it back with her from Germany in 1971, and I took it over from her.  The music is very indicitive of the hippie era in Germany at the time:  flowing, lilting tunes, with lutes and flutes and mandolins, tamborines and bells.  The album came with lyrics, all in German, of course (FYI:  should you not speak fluent German and want the songs translated, you should find someone who does speak fluent German and who also knows fluent German slang, because that's a lot of what the lyrics consist of).  It is a lovely album in any case.  I strongly recommend it.


title: Everything goes wrong, and it's GREAT!!!

text:
I disagree with Mr. Larsson's review.  This is a recording of a REAL live show.  It's raw, it's imperfect, and it's GREAT!!!

He's right that things went wrong at this show.  And Fastball had to deal with it.  The keyboard apparently fell over and didn't work for the entire show, so the keyboard parts had to be played on guitar.  Think of the song "Out of My Head", in which the keyboard is so prominent.  Right there, on the spot, the band had to figure out how to play it using guitar for keyboard parts.  The result is a great-sounding impromptu version.

At one point, they start to play a song in the wrong key, which leads to the band stopping, laughing about it, and starting over.

This is not a cleaned-up live album.  I love the Kinks, but I was disappointed when I found out that keyboard parts were added to "One for the Road" in the studio.  How about Kiss's "Alive" CD?  I found out that the band added extra crowd noises to make it sound more "authentic"!

Screw that!  I want my live albums live -- that means raw, with the mistakes, letting me hear all the warts.  This Fastball CD demonstrates just how talented this band is.  If you are a Fastball fan, get it and admire how they had to get through a whole concert, playing hits that include keyboard, without a d**n keyboard!

title: So good!

text: They sound great!


A little sad because it arrived slightly dished. I have been looking for this song for over 20 years and am giving it 5 stars. It is in good condition and the deformation most likely happened in transit. Never the less, it plays well. They just don't make em like they used to. May party music never die. Screw all duh gangsta crap. I really don't care about your ice, bling, or gold plated tank.


title: Shapeshifter review

text: When I bought this album, I was full of expectations, the likes of what I had and got when I bought Happy Trails, Gold and Silver or just about any other QMS albums from the golden era (until Solid Silver).  Shapeshifter is NOT one of those and my expectations were crushed after a few minutes into the listening of this CD.  Out of the 2 CD's, I think I can barely count 3 or 4 worth saving, the rest is definitely something any serious QMS fan can forget.  This is NOT what QMS is all about.  Shapeshifter is dipped into too much horn and keyboard (kinda light-jazzy-sunshine-elevator-music) and none of Gary's legendary Accapulco licks. Think twice before you buy this one.


title: Brings back memoeries

text: This CD brings back good memories of high school and laying outside getting a summer tan.  It was in good shape all but one song play well. One song skips but since it wasn't one of my favorites, it doesn't really matter.


title: Not quite up to their past performance levels.

text: The seller delivered as promised...fast and efficient.  I've long been a fan of the Chieftons.  However, I just feel the music performances on this cd are sloppy and while a return to their roots, not up to the usual crisp tight performance levels I've heard from them in the past. A bit disappointing.


title: Affordable OTR is right!

text: Great quality entertainment for my car and i listen at night in the bedroom with a boombox with USB port...<br />Perfect quality!


title: U.K. Live

text: great album, extended version of the original. I always thought the album wasn't long enough and this version confirms my thoughts. I didn't think twice about buying this cd.

title: I have loved this album since it first came out in the ...

text: I have loved this album since it first came out in the early sixties. This is the great Eddie Dunstedter at his greatest. Tracks include his fabulous version of "Chloe", Nola, Softly As A Morning Sunrise-Faithfully Yours, Stomping At the Savoy, The Man I Love, On The Trail (Grofe), Liza-Someone To Watch Over Me, Sophisticated Lady, and his rousing version of "Valencia", my all time favorite as Eddie does it like no one else. He recorded it on the fabulous Lorin Whitney pipe organ in Hollywood, which sadly no longer exists, and is greatly missed. These songs on this great organ showcase Eddie as the Grandmaster of the Pipe Organ.


title: not enough information

text:
I bought this CD because of the low price so I was willing to risk the "investment."
There were a few songs that were good, but the over-all choice of cuts was ho-hum.
The reason for my mediocre rating is that, just like many other of the "Juke Box" listings, there was no listing of the content of the CD for me to judge before buying.


title: Lovely irish songs...

text: I liked too much this singer, beautiful voice...


title: Prepare yourself for greatness

text:
Tiny Machines comes to crush you with their great power pop punk sound. Why should you buy this cd? Why haven't you bought this cd is more like it!
Let's do one of those a-typical track by track analysis review.
01 Pushover. This song is a driving monster from the opening riff to the second Tom(drums) and Jon(bass, producer, engineer extrordinare) kick in. In fact this song is so good you don't even need to listen to the rest of the cd.
02 Almost Perfect Nothing. Ok so you decided you'd actually check out the rest of the cd, good call. This is the metal song, you will be required to Mosh once Disney(Guitar) and Tom kick in. Seriously, this song is pretty heavy. I bet you weren't expecting this kind of brutality from a power pop punk rock band, were you?
03 Ivy Hill. Ok, we have to slow it down a little, because you are obviously a bit tired from the last one. This has a nice relaxing pace and an awesome chorus. It should be mentioned that Adam is awesome in this song.
04 Conscious. Did you know this song didn't really have a title until just before they sent the cd off for press? That's some insider shinfo for you right there. This song is like "1979" by smashing pumpkins, except without the weird alien looking dude singing, I mean, who really wants to look at that dude anyway? Doesn't this song make you want to throw tires down a hill, or is that just me?
05 Days and Miles. So, you've made it to this album's "Stairway To Heaven", congratulations, this is a great closer to this awesome album. This is in all seriousness the best song on the album.

Ok, enough with the shenanigans, I've known these dudes for a while and they are great people. This is a nice fun cd, and if you buy this I promise it'll be a good fun time. In fact, come out and see them live.

title: LOVE IT

text: I love this CD!!


title: More raw, but definitely still the Means you know.

text:
While sounding a bit different from Means' other albums, you can definitely tell it is them. Album is still great but lacks the complexity and maturity their future albums do. It is obvious it is their first album, but that raw sound is often refreshing and here is definitely one such case. If you can appreciate bands in their growth years, this album is a great listen.

Probably the most openly proclamation oriented albums of all their work.


title: Wonderful and relaxing!

text: This is a soft and slow rendition of familiar gospel songs.  It is beautifully done with soft piano and awesome accompaning singing by Jaimee. I leave my cd on repeat and listen to it for hours.


title: First Love

text: I have been buying Alex Beaton's recordings at Highland Games for about 20 years. I particularly enjoyed this cassette but I think I must have left it in my player about 2 cars ago. Songs of Praise, Pipes of Peace is very soothing and Alex's voice was so strong. It is a shame that he became ill and apparently no longer records.

title: Cumbia from La Costa Chica

text: This is a classic of the Cumbia style native to La Costa Chica region in the Mexican states of Guerrero and Oaxaca. One distinguishing hallmark of this style is the trading off between the accordion and guitar. If you like old style Cumbias, this one is for you!

title: Classy music from a Classy Lady

text: If you are looking for an unbiased review, this isn't it.  I will admit right up front that I have been in love with this Lady and her music for a lot of years.  From the time that she first appeared on the Lawrence Welk Show, she has captivated the hearts of all who have listened to her music and have watched her perform.  For years as half the team of Guy and Ralna and now solo.  These three albums seem to sum up  the range and versatility of a great voice and exciting performer.  From Gospel to romance to easy listening she does them all with the feeling that has always been evident in her music.  Buy this set and enjoy them.  They are fantastic.

title: "Vision and the sound of Prophecy"

text:
The most beautiful work I ever found in holy music written during the Middle Ages.
You will fall in love with Hildegard's "visions from her soul" and, as she said, that it did not originate from her mind.
A rare and chaste work that will refresh your spirit as you visit this sacred place of tranquility.


title: Best so far

text: This is their (8th day) best album, ever, so far.  I really enjoy every song and the variety of the songs.


title: Great

text: What can I say about 8th day except that they are amazing and I enjoy them very much.  Thanks for another album.


title: LOVE this CD!

text: I've played this CD so often in my classes and at home by myself that I had to get a new one cuz' I wore out the first one! Very relaxing and all of the pieces go together well so there's continuity from piece to piece. It drops me into an altered state very quickly.


title: Cheap Case

text:
Remastered. Sound was crisp. No complaints about the CD. But for the price you would think they would give
you a really good case to hold it ! At least a cheap plastic one. Nope! Just a cardboard sleeve.
 That is my only disappointment.


title: Poor Souvenir-Longtime Fans Keep Clear

text: As a longtime fan of Christine Lakeland the songwriter and blues bandleader (as well as longrunning rhythm guitarist, harmony singer and occasional co-writer in J.J. Cale's band) I have been looking for a live record of her solo and/or band gigs for two decades. This release sounds like a poor quality bootleg, has a single page uninformative CD traycard insert and disappointing choice of repertoire, lack of vocal microphone presence and uninspired backing band.  As a souvenir for folks at this particular wine tasting I'd recommend spitting out the music and buying a bottle of wine rather than this CD.  Hope Ms. Lakeland can sustain the interest to issue a real document of an inspired night in any club she played as a solo opener for Cale, as a solo headliner, or with her frequently inspired band of the 1990's The Code.  Especially welcome would be another go at Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue" as an electric guitar blues instrumental full of her own lead guitar fireworks and arrangement surprises.  To hear Ms. Lakeland's inventive arrangements check out via her last studio CD 1999's "TURN TO ME" the use of Roy G. Brown's serpentine trombone as counterpoint to her own tender vocal timbre.  Lakeland originals like "Drink More Coffee" (she plays better in cafes than in wineries), "New One Blues", "When I Get It Right", and "Lasting Thing" should be in the repertoires of any number of gifted vocalists or jam bands casting about for material that leaves a lasting impression...


title: Mark Alan of Eugene, Oregon is great

text: Brown Sugar Biscuits by Mark Alan is a great CD. It is one of 3 of Mark's CDs that I own. I love the title cut but am also moved by "Vanport City", a great piece about a city near Portland, Or during WWII that was washed away in a flood . This piece is a nice memorial. Also look for the CD "House Like a Train" and my favorite cut on it called "Leave a Light on Marion" . Mark also has a CD titled "Crazy World Outside" with another great pice called "Don't Pass Montgomery By." I would recommend this and all CDs by Mark Alan of Eugene, Oregon. I don't know how to categorize Marks music, maybe folk with a jazz tone and music with content. Give it a try, you will not regret it.

title: Hauntingly beautiful soundtrack

text: This soundtrack gives me goosebumps.


title: Magnificent - But buy the 2004 SACD release

text: Janos Starker has recorded the Bach cello suites five times, and when asked why he has made so many, he said it was because each time he signed with a new record company, they wanted him to do another set(!)  His honest, no-nonsense personality shows through in his Bach performances as well. Some claim his approach is too dry and unemotional, but after many years of listening to and playing these suites, his clarity and sense of structure keep me engaged long after I've grown tired of more visceral, "romantic" approaches.  Many say this is his best set, but if you chose it, avoid at all costs the CD for sale here and buy the hybrid SACD/CD released in 2004, also available on amazon.com, even though it costs more.  The reviewers below (and others) have found this CD to have been recorded a full tone sharp (ugh!).  Edit:  Actually, slightly less than a semitone sharp, as one of the commenters below rightly pointed out, but that would still be very noticeable, at least to me.  The 2004 SACD/CD sounds right on pitch to me.  And keep in mind that the higher pitch on the earlier release most likely means it was mastered too fast, so the tempos are artificially faster.  The tone quality is also affected.<br />Since I wrote this review, the SACD has become a "collectors' item" that sells for $100 or more.  With so many other fine versions of the cello suites out there, including one by Starker himself on RCA, I don't see the point in spending that much.

title: Item needs more description

text: This was advertised as a 5 cd set but I only received the Earth cd.  The cd was in perfect shape but it would have been nice to know that I was only buying one cd.


title: Command(ing) Disc!

text: In the early 1960's Command Records used 35mm magnetic film to record their master recordings.  They claimed superior s/n ratio, frequency response, channel separation, and wow/flutter specs.  All these measurements were a big deal in the era of analog recordings.  Few playback cartridges of that era could do these records justice.  I originally bought this record in May 1963 (Senior Class trip to NYC - Whoa!).  As one would expect (and despite carefully handling and playing),  that disc accrued a numb er of Rice Krispies (ie, snap, crackle, and pop) over the years.  I was extraordinarily fortunate to find another on Amazon, advertised as being in mint condition.  How could I resist?  I received it, and yes - truly mint condition!  The quiet passages are truly quiet, the frequency range and dynamics are just remarkable.  Pierre Dervaux and players are top grade, and really bring out the best in these Ravel pieces.  My top recommendation for this disc and the seller, SPRUCEKNOB!


title: A step into the lost past of top-40 AM radio

text: Communication, shipping speed, packing, and LP (factory sealed) left nothing to be desired.  I had originally bought this lp in 1972, but when moving a couple of years later, movers "lost" a complete box of my lp collection.  This lp was in that box.  It is nice to hear it again, and all the vitality (and zaniness!) the top forty DJs had.  Couple hearing the announcements with the commercials, news headlines, and songs, and what a time machine you're in!


title: Fabulous Stones!

text: A great album with many favorites over the years.


title: Potliquor's Best Record

text: Buy it.  Great covers and great original stuff.  Too bad you have to buy as an import but it's worth it.


title: Beautiful Collection

text: This is a beautiful CD that ministers to Moms.  This music really helped me in the first few exhausting months with my baby who had colic by helping me focus on the importance of the work I was doing.  One song says "Who ever welcomes one of these little children in my name, welcomes ME,... see that you do not look down on one of these little ones...".  What a wonderful thing to remind a tired Mom of how precious her baby is to God.  The scripture in this music helped to reset my focus and enjoy the moments with my baby, and the music was beautiful too!


title: One of a kind band with a great sound!

text: Excellent album here. Beautiful music. This album spans many genres and is sure to satisfy.


title: The hotness!

text: My favorite slipmat. Has just the perfect amount of slip for me. I be cuttin for days! It's held up well.


[15 year all vinyl dj review]: Call it 2.5 stars... I've been using these for about 2 months now and they still stick to my records (new and old) with or without the plastic portion used (I did one with/ without on each turntable). It IS super thin and you CAN scratch well/ better with it, but if you need to juggle records fast, forget it. It's so thin and sticks so bad I actually put it back in a sleeve with a record once, came back to the platter with the next record and was like "where TF did it go!" I do not recommend. If you want your slipmat to stay on the table, you need more than a cloth, look for something heavier.

Everything else you probably already have on another break record.

title: Orchestration & Dedication Lead to a Terrific Release

text:
Lars Bartkuhn.... at his heart, a musician's musician.  I've followed him for at least 16-18 years now and that only includes the music he's done that I saw him lead, never mind the other projects I've likely heard that he participated in.  For me my first real indicator that he is a special musician came with his track "Treasure Everywhere" which I heard on a Kyoto Jazz Massive celebratory collaboration and the track was fresh, full of life and vibrant.  It's a shame it's taken me this long to review this album of his from I believe 2014 but time has gotten away from me - kids do that!  But here it is - and this really is a wonderful album.

What I love most about this album isn't just Lars lead and the orchestrations, but how organic the sound is and how creative the album is as a whole.  You never get a sense that you're hearing the same thing or same chord - every song has it's own identity and character.  Opening up with Folksong, quick changes of paces and dancing light vocals lure you into the experience.  "The Oracle" is next, zipping you away from the folk intro and into a full-on odyssey.  Wonderful piano and string work accentuate Lars' guitar play here - really a treat.  But the standouts to me were "Alegria", which has an incredible crescendo towards the end.  And I also really enjoyed "When We Arrive", which is a sort of modest reprise/orchestration of "Alegria" and "The World is Everything".  Each of these songs, and the ones I didn't mention, display the type of dedicated musician Lars is because I get the impression that this was not at all an easy album to make and as they say, with songs like "The World is Everything", with good music, you can actually 'feel it'.

I recommend this album.  It's been roughly 6 years since I had it and to this day, I still listen to it.  But that's the thing with music that includes a live, performance element to it; it tends to last that much longer.  To step onto a soap-box, it's difficult to say that there 'isn't any good music' being made today' because clearly there is and albums like this prove it.  You just might have to look a little harder to find it, that's all.  Lars has released projects since this one and I mean to check those out as well but again, time tends to get away from me now.  From what I understand however the approach is a bit different to this one.  Difficult to recommend additional work similar to this one as it does stand-out in my collection, but I'd go for some of the 'nu-folkish' albums if there is one - like perhaps checking out Jazzanova's "Secret Love" compilations from the mid 00's to mid 10's.


title: Rare Groove That's a Listening Joy

text:
Birthright was a jazz ensemble group composed of several highly talented artists, including Jim Kurzdorfer, Joe Ford, Onaje Allan Gumbs and several others between their releases including Nasar Abadey, Tom Schuman and Gerry Eastman.  This was their second and I believe final album, and oh, what a treat it is!  Featuring Beverly Simmons on vocals, there's a dimension to this album which makes it one of my all time favorites.

Every song on this album is a joy to the ears, but if I had to list a few standouts, "Love", "So To Speak","Breath of Life and "India" reign supreme.  The celebration of life, joy and 'love' in "Love" is rich, with wonderful sax, key work and of course, Beverly's voice layered over itself even.  It's a song that truly captures the essence of literally falling in love!  "So to Speak" is another classic, deep groove that's slow and smooth from end to end with a gentle bossa flow, while "Breath of Life" is another pearl in a progression of wonderful songs.  Finally India... preceded by the beautiful ambiance of the track "Hope", has a wonderful change in direction mid-cut that adds so much funk and FEEL to the track that it's downright different from the rest of the album, while somehow managing to maintain the same general feel of the record.  Great sax, great key work... wow!

Sadly, this is one of those projects and albums that will be super difficult to track down at a reasonable (see $20 or so) price.  And since this album was released, several of the artists moved on at the time (1976) to focus on different projects, including acts like Spyro Gyra.  But with this particular album, they left off on a magnificent high that would've been near impossible to duplicate.  Highly recommended album... wonderful, organic music and a highlight in my collection.  Love every song, and Beverly's voice is so crisp, clear and pure - it's a joy to behold.


title: An Excellent Compilation in the (then) Nu-Brazil Genre

text:
Every now and then I look up this series to see if one managed to float over into the US market. It comes from an IMO warmer, fuzzier time in the Nu-Bossa scene - 2000, and the series was called "Bossa House N' Breaks", released on the KSR label. It was right with the Brazilectros, Boss-A-Troniq's, Brazilian Love Affair's and other pioneers in the genre. This definitely is NOT to be confused with Schema's "Break & Bossa" series, which also hailed from around this time frame as well as the Glucklich series. Hard to believe that it's been over 11 years, but those were great times to be fans of the Nu-Bossa/Brazil sound. "Bossa House N' Breaks" was an import series more in the vein of the also cool "Bossa A La Mode" series, both being in Japan. And as such, both containing Liner notes in kanji.

This is the first one (assumign it really is volume 1), from 2000. And it was a very, very good one. Starting out with Victor Davies "Better Place" (original version), it immediately has a nice pop to it with Victor's soulful singing. That's followed up very nicely by Soul Quality Quartet's "I'm Not Here". This is the version more often heard through Jazzanova's edit - beat heavy and quick moving, not quite as tinged in the early 70's ambiance of the album version. You also have terrific songs by Les Hommes (Touched by the Hand of Tenorio), Da Lata's then often used "Ponteio", Kyoto Jazz Massive's staple "Eclipse" and a Mr. Hermano track. But one of the biggest highlights to me was the moody Sepia number titled "Surrender", which captures a really cool darkness and feel to it with a beat that simply rolls. I also really enjoyed Soulstance's remix to Vibrazioni Production's "Life", a song that doesn't really floor me but I still just love for whatever reason... it takes me back to the time of this album. Just feels like a song you might hear on a random, typical work day while in Europe. The album ends with "Ebony Angel" by Monica Elam, which is cute in a way but not a highlight to me & grows repetitious, for a bit of a disappointing finish.

Still, I definitely recommend this album - though it's FINDING it that will prove to be the bigger problem since it's mostly only available on international sites, if even that. And with what's left of the record shops, it's doubtful they'd carry this Japanese import, so you've got a bit of work cut-out for you if you're looking for a copy as some of the tracks are still hard to find stand-alone. There were a couple of tracks that I didn't necessarily care for, but the strength of the ones I did like more than outweigh them. If you do have this and like it, note that there are at least 7 other volumes to this series including a "Deluxe" addition which is a best-of up to 2004 or 2005. I think the last one was actually volume 7 released in 2007. My favorites in this series though were easily the first and third volumes - the third containing excellent tracks by Wagon Cookin', Ben Human, Thick D. (remixed by Rasmus Faber/Brazilian edit), Assasino Daninha, Markus Enochson and Jiva's "Love Chooses Lovers" remixed among others.


title: The Stellar Sequel

text:
Eli Goulart & Banda Do Mato was one of my favorite bands of the 2000's.  Their production work and sound on their album was stellar.  They had such a rich, authentic sound it would surround and warm you up.  "Bicho Do Mato" was the first, which featured some real gems including "Destino" and "Meu Samba", which was remixed by several notable producers like Ben Human and Nicola Conte.  I really loved that album & it holds a special place in my heart.  Hence when I heard about the follow-up titled 45' several years ago, I was ecstatic!  A little worried that it wouldnt' wow me like their first but much to my pleasure, they held onto the formula of the first album.

And it works beautifully.  Live instrumentation, great production work and a warm & festive feel.  "Mana" gets the album started with a nice percussion intro layered over gentle effects and little by little, more instruments join into the fray.  A wonderful song.  Following that up is Semi-Final, which eases in the spirit between waves of smooth bossa. Maybe one of the differences between this and the prior album is that there were a few slower tracks, each one very nice, but two of them a clear cut above.  "Viver", and one of my favorites -the dreamy "Delirio".  Very nice song, a great arrangement and pin-point production with rapid changes of pace.  As the album closes, you have a familiar remnant of the prior album with Mestre Andre.  It's a cool samba that really makes you want to... samba.  And maybe fittingly, the album's closed out with the stunning "Com Voce" (with you), another slower song which has beautiful words, a beautiful message and because of his voice, sincerity.

I love this band.  I wish they would make another album - it's about time since this one is about 7 yrs. old but I'm not too optimistic for it anymore since it took quite a while to get it available here.  Admittedly, I didn't find this one as strong as "Bicho Do Mato", there were still many wonderful songs available.  There's just no replacement for excellent musicianship and live instrumentation and that's what's on full display here.  But maybe what makes Eli Goulart's albums stand out is that he and his band had the ability to bring music to life, which is something that shouldn't be taken for granted in my opinion.  So check this one out and if you look hard enough, it's available on vinyl as well.


title: Olive's Smash Dance Track

text:
Olive's an act out of the UK that really shot up in popularity around 1996 and 1997.  The band consisted of Tim Kellett of Simply Red, Ruth-Ann Boyle, and Robin Taylor-Firth.  And this is the track that was the catalyst.  It made it's way to USA shores and hit a few radio waves as well.  The radio edit of "You're Not Alone" was a good Europa style capitalizing on the drum & bass influences of that time.  But what would become of the track was more than a blue-print for future remixes, and was right on the cusps of the internet serving as a massive medium for finding music.

This is one of the singles of the album.  I'm not 100% certain of the track listing here, but judging that part one included Nightmares on Wax's interpretation, I think it's safe to say that this is the one with Faithless's remix and several others, so I'll mention those as at least a few of them are definitely on this one.  To speak on the remix take, my favorite is the one with six different tracks, including the album edit.  The second track features Oakenfold's version of the song, which is heavy drum & bass with broken beats guiding the song to a techno climax.  The bridge is typical of the song, but then the song absolutely explodes!  But the best mix, in my opinion, was Rollo & Sister Bliss's (Faithless), which was a real stunner.  The track was pretty much carved up and simply glideded; a real dark song that seemed tailor made to driving.  However having said all that, the Matthew Robert remix was perhaps the msot popular, as it blared more in the clubs and dance albums.  Admittedly, it was a very fun version to spin.  It's got a steadier beat, and doesn't stray too far off the beaten path as far as the remix's are concerned.  It's very consistent with the club scene ala 97'.  You can speed up the pitch on the song & it's bliss.  The final version is a deep/dark drum & bass/electronica that may be a bit dated today, though it was a neat alternative for the time.

This is almsot 11 years old, but I wanted to hear a few versions.  It's a great song which has seen the remix table a numebr of times, including a nice chill-out version that was popular in 2000-2001.  But the Faithless remix and Matthew Robert remix stand out.  And these shouldn't be too expensive, so check it out if you get the chance, or if you were around the club scene circa 1997-1999.  Olive only had two albums.


title: GREAT Schema Sampler

text:
Ziriguiboom/Crammed, which is in the US under the label "Six Degrees Records" knows how to put out terrific samplers. Just check out Brasil 2Mil, released in 1999 which introduced terrific artists like Suba, Bebel Gilberto, Zuco 103 and many others. Idizioni-Ishtar's Schema label also can put out one heck of a sampler and Modern Sounds From Italy is proof. I picked this up mostly for the rarity of this and to check out the harder to find artists like Quintetto X, Balanco, etc. All the artists can be found on various Break & Bossa compilations and the Schema artist releases, like "Garota Moderna", "Jet Sounds Revisited" (thanks to ESL), "Fragmentorchestra", "Tre", "Ad Lib", "Les Hommes" (ESL), etc.

The music here is classic Schema. There's some good jazz, some good Brazilian influences and most tunes have that usual bossa twist. Never too melancholic, but never over the top, this is a sample of some of these artists feature songs. Check out the cool vibe in Nicola Conte's "Tema in Hi-Fi", the dancing vocals in Rosalia De Souza's "Bossa 31" and Vuca's "Bossafrica" (remember the jazz vocal in this?), or how about the bouncing beat in Gerardo Frisina's "Descarga"? Add to this the intense electric samba with the greatly underrated Fragmentorchestra in "Carioca"... and in the end you have IMO a breathtaking "Theme From Spartacus" done here by Quartetto Moderno.

HIGHLY Recommended! With the incredibly LOW price of this cd (I found it for around $7 originally), how can you not pick this one up? "Love Theme From Spartacus" and "Dreamy Smiles" alone warrant the purchase, let alone the other fantastic musicians and tracks here. Speaking of which - I would highly recommend the works by Gerardo Frisina (Ad Lib AND Hi-Note), Nicola Conte, Rosalia De Souza, The Dining Rooms and Soulstance. S-Tone Inc. has had better cuts on "Sobrenatural" IMO, but the cut here successfully mixes the flow. And naturally, check out the other Schema comps like the Break & Bossa series, "Post Modern Bossa", and "Freedom Jazz Dance".


title: Umm... yeah... or something...

text:
I remember this one.  I was a bit excited to see that some of the Top of the Pop's cd's had made their way towards the USA.  But then after getting this and listening to it, I remembered that I never really liked Top of the Pop's cds even when I lived in England, and it was nothing but the familiarity that was endearing to me.  A lesson learned too late!  This is one of their 2000 releases, and it features, to its credit (or detriment), the same consistency as its predecessors.

And what is that consistency?  Choppy, repetitive, annoyingly optimistic, cheesy and did I mention annoying? dance and pop tracks form the UK and USA circa the mid, second part of 2000.  You have some real doozies here.  But who can put a price on the memories?  I can... and if you spend more than $10 for this, you've spent too much (its out of print and apparently people now use them for beer coasters at 50p - 5 pounds).  Artists included that were popular at the time are Sisqo, All Saints, numerous boy bands from both sides of the ocean, Oasis, Blink 182, Artful Dodger, Moloko and whatever flavor of the month Trance star had a popular cut (in this case, Angelic and Sonique).

I have to admit, looking back, it is a real bringer of Nostalgia.  Summer 2000... France edges Italy to win Euro 2000 (Boo!) & Alan Shearer (some say finally) retires, then a few months later we have the US presidency debacle, and in general the world was different than it is now some four years later which makes me sort of sad in a way.  But the music - that cheesy poppy feel... at least for some it can conjure up innocent memories.  Otherwise its one for the pre-teen/teen crowd of the time.  If by some strange dark force, you happen to ENJOY the musicianship and singing (I use both terms lightly), then do check out several of the saturated UK compilation markets' unlimited rip-offs, including "Now That's What I Call Music" and... well... the cannibalistic "Top of the Pops 2000 v. 3" released all of 3 1/2 months later.


title: Wow, Blast from the Past

text:
I did pick this up a long time ago, and have recently listened to it again.  This is a collection of music from the UK pop charts in 1998 - the third edition to be exact - the time period is close to the summer-fall-winter of 1998.  IT's a double disk set where you'll find a lot of pop stars that have already seen their 15 minutes of fame pass them by.  IF you think the US is loaded with "Now That What I Call Music" cd's, you haven't seen anything until you've been to the Virgin Store on Oxford Street/Piccadilly Circus(at least I think that's where it was)!
I look at the previous review and think, yeah, that's about right.  Great nostalgia!  Featured in this cd are Jennifer Paige (remember the track "Crush"?), Natalie Imbruglia, Simply Red, Boyzone, Dee-Tah, Jodeci, The Lighthouse Family, Spice Girls, Cornershop (remember "Brimful of Asha"?) Aqua, All Saints and many many more.  What gets me though is the WC in 1998, and the little England WC song for France 98.
Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for the "new" songs of the UK - it's obviously an outdated.  But if you want a little blast from the past, or simply want to remember or hear what was cookin' in one of the pop-culture capitals of the world, by all means you'll enjoy this.

text: Fireworks was a premier CCM group in the '70's and early '80's.  This was a terrific record. I'm assuming they are not still around.  Does anyone know if there are CD's availabe?


title: Great Album!, comes with concert and Music Videos!

text: I got this after being unsatisfied with "Cometas por el Cielo desde America" which I couldn't even play in The United States (it was PAL) This DVD comes with the ten songs from the concert in Mexico that were also on CPECEDDA, but it doesn't come with the Argentinian "concert" which I didn't care much for anyway. The four Music Videos were a very nice addition.

title: Larry rocks the flock and doesn't leave em comfortable

text: This is a great Norman album. I'm a boomer who grew up on hymns first, and then thankfully found that Jesus could be praised and sung about through Rock-n-Roll. Larry Norman brought that breakthrough and I'm grateful for Larry, Randy, and the Solid Rock team that gave us Christ-exalting rock to enjoy. My first listen thru today brought me a couple of solid blessings. I found Larry's "Rock the Flock" to be a grand song, on the level of "Rock that Doesn't Roll." It took me by surprise and all of the sudden I laughed when I realized Larry just said "You gotta rock the flock till Kingdom come." Amen Larry, and "Let that tape keep rolling." "Feed the Poor" is a godly punch in the gut. It's just a powerful song on a simple theme; "When Jesus asks you if you fed the poor, What are you gonna say?" It's a song that builds in intensity while it repeats the same question from multiple angles. It'll leave you wondering if you need to pray about it, and you should. If you're a LN fan and you can get this album you should. I got it from the "thesolidrockshop.com" for $14.99 (about $20 after shipping/taxes).


title: TONE!

text: Good quality. Was a little worn around the case edge but still worth the money spent. I received this item way earlier than I thought and I have been enjoying it ever since.


title: Better view than the real concert!

text: The concert was awesome! I have Exo-Planet #1, bought in Japan, and this video really shows how the guys stepped up their game and how their stage has evolved. So much fun to watch with my wife. Only disappointment, there was no Wub Wub Machine like in the first one.


title: Five Stars

text: Good cd.


title: Good, but not great

text: This is certainly a a good CD, and I still enjoy listening to it every now and again, but I much prefer "Whatever Gets You Through The Day". If you're new to the Lighthouse Family, I'd go over and check that one out first. If you've already got that one and want some more, I'd say get this CD, but don't expect greatness.


title: A Classic RCA recording

text: A classic recording that I've loved since I was a young boy. I thought it had gone out of print since RCA Victor in Mexico was sold to BMG Ariola (now gone also) but it seems they kept the recording and turned it into a CD, I'm glad.

title: Travel back to the wonderful days of the 50's

text: These four discs are the music I loved and danced to in the glorious '50's.  I've nearly worn them out, since every time I hear them I'm just transported back to carefree, happy days and out of my older-adult responsibilities.  It's great to be a teen-ager again!  (just the good parts, though)  It's a great selection and I'm so pleased the original artists are featured.  If you loved music in the '50's, get these.


title: OK

text: Was disappointed only because Foo Fighters turned out not to be my cup of tea.  Rather ordinary sounding music, a little boring.


title: Very good unknown violinist.

text: The surprise is the beautiful playing of Jela Spitkova, a violinist who I had never heard of. Her Sibelius is quite luscious, especially the slow movement..

title: you'll love this. Why this guy isn't in a supergroup ...

text: This is the poppiest, catchiest, most hook infested thing I've heard in a long time. If you're a fan of the Raspberries (which he was one of), or early Beatles, you'll love this. Why this guy isn't in a supergroup or at least in a successful band presently I'll never know. If I recall correctly, he wrote almost all of the songs and played the instruments himself. I've been listening to this cd for many years and it still is my go-to cd for it's entertainment value. Good production too.

text: Bodine were a Dutch Heavy Metal band formed in 1978 and disbanded in the late 1980's. They recorded 3 albums the high point being Bodine their self titled release from 1981. Good luck trying to find this one, but if you do it rocks !!!!

title: Excellent Version

text: This recording is very hard to find these days. I was hoping to get a mint LP, but I'm satisfied to get this cassette recording which was still in the original wrapper. I played it just once to hear it again after several years. Szeryng gives a scintillating performance of the Brahm's Concerto, one of my favorites, to which I was first introduced by Kreisler's 1936 recording under Barbirolli in the 'Legends' LP Box back in 1962, which was re-released after Kreisler's death. This Szeryng recording comes highly recommended by many, and should grace your collection, as it now again, does mine. I intend to convert this to .flac format. Szeryng has chosen the Joseph Joachim cadenzas.

title: My child loves his swing

text: We do a lot of sensory at my house....let me repeat A LOT OF SENSORY activities are done at my house on a pretty constant basis.  This is our second swing, our first was just the basic swing but we progressed quickly to this one.  It is his primary request and we probably do it 5 times a day for 15 minute intervals.  Swinging is a great organization activity for him and we do it with gusto.  This swing is really well made and easy to use with our indoor doorway system.  Highly recommended


title: Amazing

text: My favorite cd by far. This is my favorite band of all time.


title: Respect the Talent

text:
One of the things I always favored about Avril Lavigne is that she can actually sing. She's the atypical pop star.

And "pop star" is exactly what she is, because 'The Best Damn Thing' took her away from the alt rock style of 'Under My Skin' and the borderline pop rock/punk style of 'Let Go.' Personally, I'm not a fan of her new stuff, but then again, I'm a guy in my twenties. I was never really on board with the whole sugar pop music.

So 'Avril Live Acoustic' is a good combination for me: It's Avril's older stuff and it's unplugged, a facet of music I have an uncanny love for. It accentuates a singer's most genuine talent, and I never realized until I listened to these 6 tracks how good Avril Lavigne's voice really is.

The only downfall, I'd say, is the backing vocals in a couple of the songs, most notably "He Wasn't" (granted it's only in the chorus). I would've rather just had Avril singing by herself. However, it doesn't have any effect on my perception of this album. I was very impressed with it and it's one of my more sound music investments in recent memory.

Track listing:
1) He Wasn't (3:17)
2) My Happy Ending (3:57)
3) Sk8er Boi (3:39)
4) Don't Tell Me (3:39)
5) Take Me Away (2:55)
6) Nobody's Home (3:39)

IF you can find it for a fair price, it's more than worth it. The casual Avril fan will like this just as much as the die hard fan.

Grade: A-

Actually the song is great. The problem is I just paid $10. for a cd with one song on it. What an F-ing rip off!

Robert Cray, with his own style of blues, I'd say, Pop Blues, Robert Stands out from all blues Artist, very Versatile and Has a voice like no other. I was privileged to meet this gentle giant and his family in NYC, near the Rockefeller Center, Had to greet him twice, just could not believe it was him.


title: Wonderful

text: Terrific playing - and singing - for these pieces:  the sheer sound is magnificent.


title: Audiophile grade

text: Excellent surround disc.<br />Oppo, Onkyo 818, Infinity, Martin Logan, Velodyne components.  9/10 for sound quality.  Definitely worth adding to your collection of surround discs.


I have been a Scriabin fanatic since I first heard Horowitz play the 9th sonata on record in 1968, when I was 14.  I have at least a dozen sets of recordings of the complete Scriabin sonatas, and probably 75 CDs and albums of Scriabin piano music.  This CD is one of the best in my collection.  Margulis never got the fame he was entitled to, and this CD alone is enough to prove it.  For decades I thought the Horowitz recording of "Vers La Flamme" was the best, and would remain the best, I would ever hear.  Then I heard Margulis, and he eclipsed Horowitz.  His "Poeme Nocturne" is also stunning.  If Scriabin is a passion of yours, you owe it to yourself to buy this CD.


title: Ronnie Dawson at his very best

text: This is a great CD. I have most of Ronnie's CDs and this one is my favorite. The live atmosphere at the Continental Club brings out the very best from Ronnie and the band. His interactions with the band members prompt them to play like there is no tomorrow. I especially enjoyed the guitar/drum, "battle", between Ronnie and the fabulous Lisa Pankratz. The band is having fun and so will you.


title: Nelson Eddy singing Love Serenade

text: This song is a translation of the Italian song "Serenade" by Drigo and is superbly interpreted by baritone Nelson Eddy with his unmatchable beautiful tone of voice.  I have used the score for playing it on the piano and for singing it.


title: Experience these moments.

text: Superior performance,inspiring and enjoyable. Do not miss the chance to listen to this, you will not be disappointed, it will leave you asking for more. Guaranteed.


title: Thanks. Happy with the 💿 CD.

text: I was looking for this Cd and finally got it.<br />It's brand new. This for classic salsa collection.


title: Hidden potential

text: Animal Hours is the diamond in the bluff, excellent mixing, great somber vocals and echos of past loves and life. A great addition to any music lover's collection.


title: The Price Was Right!

text: Good multichannel recording!


title: Fake

text: They did not make a lavender version of the "Meet behind the mall" cover variant. This is fake.


title: My dad had this in album form now I it in cd

text: Reminds me of my dad


title: Very old --  but the sound is quite decent --  and slightly abbreviated but

text: Call me a heretic, but what I really like about this -- I have both of the Knappertsbusch Bayreuth recordings -- is that it is in ITALIAN with Callas, Christoff, Panerai and a to me unknown but good tenor. The rendering is so LYRICAL, brings out a whole side of the opera which tends to get neglected in German performances. Never enjoyed it so much.


title: Just about Das Lied von der Erde for now.

text: Just listened again to this 1959 recording with the Philharmonia / Paul Kletzki / Murray Dickie and I believe the first ever recording of this work with a baritone: Fischer-Dieskau, instead of the usual contralto. Few will be familiar with Murray Dickie, a Scottish tenor who sang at the Vienna State Opera for many many years, mostly in smaller parts, but, as it turns out, an excellent choice . He is fine. Fischer-Dieskau, whose singing was often marred by barking and blaring is: simply wonderful -- I have never heard him better (in the same form as he was for the early fifties recordings of Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen and Kindertotenlieder) and with so much feeling - and passion, in the louder passages of the last movement.  The recorded sound is of the highest caliber. VERY highly recommended.


title: This is for Carteri/Tagliavini/Taddei,Siepi Cetra recording.

text: You will not find a more idiomatic all-Italian performance of this opera! The sound is decent early 50s mono, but what you lose  in fullness of sound is more than made up for by a totally spontaneous, beautifully sung account of Puccini's music. (Most of the Cetra recording from this period were recorded LIVe in the studios of the Italian Radio ([RAI]). Just listen to the 3rd Act -- heart-achingly beautiful. When I want to hear Bohème, this is the one I pull out. Why deprive yourself?  If I picked a different recording I would just be thinking about what I was missing!


title: What's with Amazons reviews -- a huge % of them are assigned to the wrong recording!!! Get it fixed!

text: Don't know if this review will be attched to the [proper listing, I think I did it before, but it is not among those there now. THIS REVIEW if for the Tagliavini/Petrella/Taddei/Masini/Questa rewcording on CETRA. You can not do better, believe me. The sound is unuually fine (unlike some others from Cetra). Petrella is on top form - SUCH a pity that she left so few recordings behind her. Tagliavini also at his superb best. Here we have 4 ITALIAN singers, steeped in the tradition, TOTALLY idiomatic, with an Italian condutor and supporting cast. It is a TREAT to listen to. Give yourself a treat! (If you think you deserve one -- or even if you don't!) You will not be sorry.


title: I LOVE Tabarro!

text: And this is a suitably gritty performance of a short one-act opera set in the gritty world of a barge plying the River Seine. I bought it for Clara Petrella, whom I love -- such a pity there are so few recordings! (Don't miss her Butterfly with Tagliavini!) But the tenor and the baritone -- both hitherto unknown to me and both with very good natural voices -- give such rough-and-ready performances so entirely suitable to the environment in which they find themselves!  Of course, THE stand out recording of Tabarro always has been (and, I suspect, always will be) that of Tito Gobbi, but I did get a lot of enjoyment from this one too. And the reissues of the old Cetra recordings (mostly in good to very good mono sound) are handsomely presented and include very nicely done booklets with librettos.


title: Love this woman's voice!

text: Great selection of songs, perfectly delivered by a singer at the very top of her form -- and that chest voice!


title: Off the beaten track but rewarding.

text: For those who like to explore beyond Tebaldi, Callas, Nilsson, Sutherland etc., Pobbe had a fine voice in the Tebaldi, Stella, Freni mold. Unfortunately did not record much, but it good to have something of hers. It is a GREAT pity that Cetra did not include the COMPLETE dungeon scene  from Mephistopheles (there was plenty of room for it on this relatively short CD)  instead  of just "L'altra notte", to include the unforgettable "Lontano" duet (with Tagliavini) and her superb highly emotional  account (Caballe sounds so tame in comparison) of her death scene: Giunta, l'aurora pallida, l'ultimo di gia vienne.

title: Excellent Sound From Session Tapes!

text: No common thread. Rockabilly, doo-wop, rock'n roll, R 'n B, even some pop.  These tracks have excellent sound, which is usually true of anything on Mr. Maestro label. All seem mastered from the original session tapes. Some are stereo.  Only cd I am aware of with the obscure, very good, Lafayettes 'Life's  Too Short" (worth the price of the cd). Error on cover attributing Tragedy to Excellents, but it is Thomas Wayne with the DeLons. Do listeners know who 'Mr. Maestro' is?  I do.  Thomas J McKeon


title: Very Musical - True Professionals

text: Wandered into a live show in Wisconsin in about '06 and was blown away.  I bought this CD at the show.  The band is crazy good, and the singing is first-rate - Anthony cranks up his powerful voice with perfect intonation and the rest of the Imperials know their parts.  Highly recommended.

title: Real good lp album

title: Goes Without Saying...

text: Martha Davis, kick ass band, early 80's L.A. clubbing rock, what more can be said? If you don't like this stuff, then you weren't there when it was all happening. A true music revolution of the likes that no one will ever see again. Still Love You Martha!


title: Excellent

text: This is a great product, with high quality sound. Looks like new! The CD has no scratch, the cover is neat also


title: Worth the money.

text: I've been a fan of this group for awhile now and this album doesn't disappoint. I would have given it 5 stars but I was not real fond of the last piece. I really enjoyed the opening two songs and just about all the rest of the album.


title: Countryside Italy

text: I have an original "Countryside Italy" CD and liked it so much that I wanted to give a new one as a gift to someone. What I received from "Jestmusic" was what appeared to be a knock off of that CD.  The plastic case had two cracks in the back, the cover inside the plastic case had several brown stains on it, and the cover appeared to be a copy, and not a good one,  because there was missing information on it and on the back the song titles were written in ink.  I can't believe a seller would send something in such bad shape in the mail. I did not open the CD and play it because the packaging was so deplorable. I was really disappointed.


title: Nice slice of 90s House

text: This collection has a good range of house music from the late 90s including Chicago House, Brit Prog House and disco-laced anthems.


Excellent album, maybe the best Colombian Heavy Metal album ever.

Only 3000 copies were made, so its a collectible item also.


title: unchained melody: the very best of the righteous brothers

text: sound disappointed


title: Poor Quality Recording

text: Very poor quality audience recording. I've heard worse but this sounds like it was recorded with a $5 microphone in the middle of a bunch of screaming drunks. If you're a PF fanatic (like me), buy it for your collection but there are much better PF bootlegs out there.


title: A good starter set for a new Victrola owner

text: It's like a random mix tape of old fashioned music, fun to run through and look up the artists. The records were securely packaged inside two cardboard boxes with several layers of big bubble wrap, and all arrived safely with no damage. The condition of the records was pretty good overall. One of them has a visible scratch but it did not have an effect on playback. They were a bit dusty and one had some gunk on it, but a bit of gentle cleaning and they are all fine. I purchased a bag of new needles and played them all.


title: Five Stars

text:
Many Faces of Daft punk is a cd that will turn
any party out!  Love the fact that Daft Punk pays homage to funk group Parliament!
  Thank you, Clay Jordan.


title: Hot Pastrami NOT

text: I was really hoping for the original hit single version of The Dartells "Hot Pastrami".  This is a re-recorded version.  It is stereo but lame IMHO. It is cool to include Boss an early '60's southern California fave from the surf years.


title: Some Obvious, Some More Rare

text: Interesting collection with some oldies not widely available like Younger Girl-The Critters, Wade In The Water-Ramsey Lewis Trio and I Wanna Ramble-Little Junior Parker.  The inclusion of the Karen Theme-Surfaris is a weird choice as the original '60's TV series track was recorded by The Beach Boys but never released on record.  Two each from Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly are always cool.  A personal fave is Lloyd Price's I'm Gonna Married in nice stereo.


title: Nice!

text: Just as described and right on time.

title: Amazing Complex & Layered Sounds from A Single Virtuoso

text: Bob Culbertson's acoustic Chapman stick album is an amazing journey - At times you will swear that at least four guitarists are playing on a track, but NO - Bob is playing all the parts on a single instrument at the same time.  If you've not discovered the amazing sounds possible on the Chapman Stick, the n I'd highly recommend this acoustic stick collection as an introduction to an amazing instrument.


title: Rare Promo Disc

text:
This is a 3-song promo disc which was sent to radio stations to promote the (then) forthcoming full-length album "Yibe!".  There was a limited press run, and almost all of them were originally given away for promotional purposes, although a few of them were sold in the band's hometown area of Washington, DC.  Two of the songs, "Puppets & Dolls" and "Knowledge is a Knife," were edited down to radio-friendly lengths for this disc, as the full-length versions which appear on "Yibe!" were a little on the long side.

A fun trio of songs that show off the versatility of a band whose chief criticism was that they couldn't be categorized.


title: Loved it so much I put it in my wedding...reception.

text: Love the horns, background chatter, costumes, and innuendo.  Pants and attack of the wiener man are our all time favorites.


title: Five Stars

text: It was in great condenition and I got it early.


title: I remember when.

text: I too listened to these songs over and over because, they are that good. They are a dead-on parody of 70's pop music. I came here to buy a CD copy and ended up writing a review. Please powers that be, bring it back. I am tired of being a "butchy bitch."


title: Great CD

text: My daughter loved this CD.  It has topped off her Taylor Swift Collection.  Now we hear her music non stop!!!

title: Useful

text: Small yet functional. The durability is surprising. I am impressed the compass works as well as it does for such a cheap toy.  I'll be using it as a backup thermometer / compass attached to my backpack for camping.


title: Nikita Magaloff plays Chopin

text:
Nikita Magaloff is a pianist I had heard of but never heard.

This disc contains the 24 Chopin Preludes, Op. 28 plus Chopin's Piano Sonata no.  3.

Magaloff is a natural Chopin player, his phrasing, touch and rubato are impeccable. Rarely have I been so excited by the new encounter with a pianist as I have Magaloffl. This CD led me to wonder what else has he performed; what is available on disc?

Quite a lot, I found out though most is available on WorldCat (Interlibrary loan).

According to author/ pianist/ Julliard lecturer on the history of the piano David Dubal,  Magaloff was a specialist in Chopin who drew students to his school in Swiizerland from all over the world.

Strongly recommended!!


title: Interesting and enjoyable

text: I'd heard some of the songs before, via tour videos and albums, but the album included a few "new to me" songs.  While the bits of recorded conversations of Charles Mingus, and his friends/family singing Happy Birthday to him might seem "odd" to have interspersed throughout the album, to me, it added a bit of charm and insights re: the man it was meant to honor.  I found myself enjoying the music/lyrics more than I thought I would, and am glad to have added this album to my collection


title: Sinatra & Jobim

text: 2 GREATS, how could that lose?  Each have  been my favorite for a long time.  Together they are amazing!<br />A treasure on all counts.


title: Oh the memories this Album brings back.

text: Of course this reminds me of a time and life gone by but this album is excellent and stands on its own. I only wish it was in print so that others could enjoy it, the few samples on Youtube do no justice to this release I'm afraid, which is what led me to track this one down and luckily I was able to find it at an excellent price.


title: Gift for my husband.

text: My husband loved this product...so glad you carried it....he's been a Beachboy fan for many years, and this CD keeps the happiness alive.  Great job, Amazon!

title: For me, the closest to "getting it right."

text: I've listened to several recordings of the Quartets, and most seem way too choppy or too full of angst. I've got the QI lp set of the Late Quartets, and especially wanted a back-up/play-in-the-car format. It may come across as hyperbolic, but I feel that if only one creative work of humanity could survive a destructive event and represent us, it would be this recording of Opus 131. And yes, I've seen and considered great visual works such as the Sistine ceiling, etc. This work has limitless depth.


title: Transcendant music

text: The vendor service was fine. Zakarian's voice is one of the most sublime ever. I bought the CD particularly to have her singing Ur es mayr im. It's one of those all too common ironies that some of the greatest artists haven't been provided with the best recording engineering, though. The five stars are given so as not to detract from the vendor, and of course, the music.


title: WOW!

text: I had the vinyl as a kid and lost them long ago.  The songs always stayed on my mind, though.  At last I found them on CD.  The disk is in excellent condition.


title: Can't believe I found this!

text: My mother loved this song & I've thought of it since I was a kid.  So glad this dealer had a copy--never thought I'd hear it again!<br />45 was in very good shape as advertised.


title: A Young Paul Anka

text: I had had this wonderful album years ago when I was in my twenties.  Because of a major personal move, I gave it away. I never thought I'd be able to purchase it again, but I longed to hear Paul Anka's beautiful renditions of these classic French love songs. Thankfully, Amazon had this album available on DVD.  I listened to it as soon as it arrived in the mail -- which was only a few days.  I highly recommend this nostalgic musical trip to Paris and to a young Paul Anka.


title: A Classic Recording

text: For a number of years I had had "Midnight Blue" recorded on one of those dinosaur cassette tapes.  I was never able to track down an album featuring the magnificent Louise Tucker.  Fortunately, a brand-new "Midnight Blue" album was featured on Amazon, and priced so reasonably.<br />Only four or five songs on the album feature Tucker as leading vocalist, but that doesn't make this item any less cherished.  I'm so happy that this treasure was made available to me.


title: Practically new!

text: Perfect condition!


title: Five Stars

text: Very happy, CD was perfect!


title: Blast from the past.

text: I love it, but I am biased because a band I was in, is on it. However, If you're looking for a quick glance at what the local Portland rock and blues scene looked like  in the early 90's, this is a good place to start.


title: Great Blues CD From a Master of NW Blues

text: This is great and classic CD from one of the best blues guitarists on the west coast...Tim Sherman has been performing blues in the NW for decades and this recording testifies to his prowess. All instrumental, and ranging from swing blues to jazzy blues and even a bit of Texas style. If you like blues in the vein of Ronnie Earl, this is a great pick.


title: The Division Bell 5.1

text: Being an album I have always liked, there is not much to say there. My only regret was not getting this 5.1 mix when it came out since it would have been cheaper. In any case, this mix is awesome. If you like PF, and surround music, it is among the best.


title: What More Could You Ask For!

text: I found the recording quality of this 3-CD set to be of very good quality and it includes virtually all of Elton's top hits. I especially appreciate the included "piano version" of Elton's more obscure song, "Skyline Pigeon". This version sounds much more enjoyable than the original version, which was played on a harpsichord. This CD set is sure to be one of my favorites to listen to going forward. The package arrived at my house very quickly and was in perfect shape. I would definitely order from this vendor again!

text: I got the Complete Collection like a gift Christmas for my wife. When the mail box arrived at home and I opened it, I found that the CDs did not have a box o special presentation. At the Amazon page said "boxed set". where is the box??? It does not have a good presentation for a beautiful gift.  Also, in the page show the picture with 9 cds different. I never saw that picture. the music is wonderful, but the rest, mmmm!!! Thank you

title: As a Doors Fan, This is Worth Watching!!

text: Different performances I havent seen before. I have seen the Hollywood Bowl Blueray and some of this on here but overall I was entertained by their early performances. Different album and stage scenes worth watching.


title: Reference Sound Testing disc from the 90's

text:
This disc is a reference audio test disc from the 90's that will put your system to the test all those years later.  I would advise before going all out on volume levels when testing to be cautious as to not injure your system.

Track 1 with a few minutes of the babbling creek...so nice....then a faint rumbling bass...if you have subwoofers, might want to turn this track down until you know they can take it...then out of nowhere, a 747 upon take off!  This track will really test your system.  Aside from the 1st part of this track, go to 6:30 and listen for a bit....you're welcome!

Track 16 with the helicopter will test your subs out too!


title: Import version has rare bonus track.

text: comes with bonus track $200 TB featuring Austin Peralta (RIP) and Flying Lotus. Worth the extra money


title: EXCELLENT!!! I do not skip any songs, absolutely love it!

text: Love this CD, Hughie and The Outlaws music live on!  Cheers!

title: Replacing our original cassette

text: We love Carman's music.  My granddaughter when she was 5 wanted us to turn on the cassette player and she would love hearing Carman's #1 album.  We finally wore it out.  I re-ordered and thought I was ordering the one we had before.  What I received was #2 album - which is great, but I really want to replace #1 album

title: want this more than **##$$7**

text: Wish somebody could redo this on CD. The albums I bought back when skipped. Dont trust used album copies.


title: In my top ten favorite albums ever

text: I have no idea what the person who reviewed this album below is talking about. Trust me you need this album. I can't stop listening to this, it's taken over my life. This one here is very unique, the guitar is wild and all over the place but comes together perfectly. The vocals are so distinctive and just plain rockin'. The electric guitar intertwines itself with the acoustic so well you almost don't notice it until it kicks you in the soul. The chorus's in this masterpiece are absolutely beautiful. I remember the first time I heard this thinking that this is music right here, this is how it should be done. I mean it, if you want a better life get this album and be happy, be free. The Soviet Union really came through with this one. Out of struggle insane beauty is born.


title: DON'T buy this album

text:
Given Reznor's horrid relationship with labels and production companies I would highly discourage anyone from paying for an album that Trent is freely giving away. Trent once had his own label and then had to disband it and even sue his business partner for impeding on his creative ownership.  With recent bashing that CD's are a redundant and outdated form of mass production and consumption.

to me its only a matter of time before someone finds a way to corrupt the current record label thats producing and distributing NIN's newest Halo to which Reznor will once again have to fight for creative ownership of his own work.

Nothing against Amazon but if Trent is giving this away as a gift to his fans for all our years of dedication, I'd say we should just take him up on that.


title: My Love and Respect for Reznor Grows & Grows

text: Throughout Trents Albums or "Halo's" he has teased his fan base with his ability to create dark and brooding Ambient tracks that seem to go on forever.  And then the Disc ends in what seems abrupt in the way that someone came into the room and told him to stop.  Now he's releasing what seems like 4 bodies of work that seem to pick up or rather create the subtle undertone of a waste land that Year Zero and its R3M1X3D Album had created.  I have truly enjoyed this album and am excited to hear that Reznor isn't done yet.  I only hope that with 26 Halo's to his name that he'll see fit to "Bless" us with at least 26 more.


title: Whats worst, a guy who is an ass, or a bass player with no style

text: Bought this cd to see if it was any good.. threw it out 2 min later. Horrible band for one thing, not so good music.


title: For spice girls fans

text: If you were a lover of spice girls and still love their music definitely get this CD/DVD collection. I wouldn't call myself a spice girls fanatic but I loved their music back in my high school days and still have their albums. I think the biggest benefit to this collection is the DVD music video collection, that was the biggest factor why I bought it and it was worth the money. Get it while supplies last cause there is no other place that is selling this collection.


title: A total ripoff

text: The performances by these great musicians deserves five stars, but the atrocious quality of the recording deserves a negative four stars, which equals the lowest score this site allows. A total ripoff, even for longtime fans. Amazon should be ashamed of itself for selling such garbage. I question the legality of such products in the first place, and I seriously doubt that any royalties are going to the musicians. I am sorry that I bought this.

text: OUTSTANDING CD MUSIC AND HIS VOICE. HE IS MR SMOOTH COOL GOODLOOKING, MELT YOUR SOCKS OFF GUY. JUST LOVE HIS STYLE AND VOICE.. TOO BAD HES NOT MORE IN THE MUSIC HEADLINES. I THINK HE'S GREAT...PLEASE RECORD MORE MUSIC MR FLORES. I 'D BUY EVERYTHING . LOVE TO LISTEN TO YOU ALSO DVD RECORDINGS OF YOUR PERFORMANCES WOULD BE NICE..GOOD LUCK AND GET OUT THERE MORE.
