title: Great early folk revival; Joan Baez already in exquisite voice

text: When I was a freshman at Harvard in 1961 my roommate had this record (long gone, but I was happy to find this one on Amazon). Joan's voice shines like silver. Bill Wood is better than the average coffeehouse performer (though he was probably wise to study biochemistry) and Ted Alevizos, the rare-book librarian with the Julliard voice training, gives glorious, not-at-all-folksy, renditions of traditional English and Greek songs. The record reflects the folk revival before it turned to singer-songwriter love songs and political protest. As my rating says, I love this record.


title: Great like many 1980s metal hair bands

text:
From an avid 1980s enthusiast, songwriter, and composer myself, I want to share my opinions on what each track might remind you of. For several years, I enjoyed listening to Dee Snider from Twisted Sister. It was great listening to "House of Hair" aired from 11 PM to 1 AM on 106.9 WRQK (Rock 107), Canton in the Buckeye State. Yeah, since Internet radio, local radio just isn't my usual pastime anymore. Wonder if Snider even knows of this band I am the first to review here on Amazon. First off, this one and only album by German artist Aidean, sounds close to Damn Yankees, Dokken, Europe (Final Countdown), White Lion, and some ZZ Top songs (a couple like "Rough Boy"). I am going to list them alphabetically, not by track order as on the CD...

1. Aidean Medley

A rather strange and not your common plethora of creative mixing of most songs on the album. Lyrics with "Aidean" like "Weird Al" Yankovic with a bad-tempered voice.

2. Children of the Night

Sounds like Dokken and some tracks on what Europe is best known for their album, "The Final Countdown." Also sounds like some Night Ranger and Sammy Hagar.

3. Children of the Night

Bonus track, lo-fi recording version.

4. Diana

Somewhat reminiscent to Damn Yankees, but closer to Europe's "The Final Countdown" album.

5. Do You Call Again

Much like White Lion (such as "Little Fighter" and "Don't Say It's Over"), and "River of Love" by Lynch Mob.

6. Fall in Love Again

You would like this a lot if you like "Carrie" from Europe's album, "The Final Countdown." Also the guitarist plays somewhat like "Rough Boy" by ZZ Top. IMO this song has some of the best singing on the album. He ranks in there with Europe's lead singer... Wow...

7. Livin Lovin Losin

Very much like Dokken, especially "In My Dreams." (OK, doesn't sound too similar, but you can see what hair metal bands go through. "One day they're together, and the next day they won't speak! I can't keep up!" Quote taken from Dee Snider back in the early 2000s.) This one was a bit tricky to piece together what it sounds close to, but you'd like this very well if you are a big fan of Don Dokken, or just Dokken.

8. Nighttime

Bonus track. A bit lossy or poorly mastered. Sort of like Bon Jovi and Lynch Mob.

9. Promises

Aha, at first, this reminds me of Enuff's Enuff and Tesla. More so than those, the music style reminds me of Christmas for some reason. Also sounds like Damn Yankees, Warrant, and White Lion too.

10. Rocks You Up

Hmm... Ozzy Osbourne, such as "Don't Ask Me (I Don't Know)?" That's more the guitar part. Otherwise, it has some interesting sound effects (such as laser gun and warbled looping). Also reminds me of Boston (I tend to think a hint of 1970s style in this song). Hmm, could Boston be an influence? Boston's song about rock and roll reminds me of this. How about "Rock and Roll All Night" by Kiss? I see that here too. Maybe more like the song by Kiss than Boston. Hey, those topped the charts...

11. Rocks You Up

Bonus track, which like the other two, doesn't sound very good. Skip these unless you want to irritate your hearing.

12. Stranger

Again, back to Europe. IMO a rather mediocre track. At this point the band really had me lost... Still though, the drummer and guitarist really drive this through, with the last few seconds with haunting effects.

13. Save the best for last, and in of the band itself! If you like "Do You Call Again," this one should be easy. It reminds me of that song. What is different from this in "Aidean Medley" is that the other samples from other songs on the album sound different.

Before the advent of the Internet, I hadn't heard anything by Aidean before. They split up after this 1988 release, and this re-release contains three bonus tracks, which were probably the homemade demo versions of the original album. I don't know if this were originally on LP record (vinyl).

There you have it, a great band that fell through the cracks too quickly. It might have been too heavy and the lyrics/vocals didn't fit in well with other "hair bands" of the time. Furthermore, AOR was more popular in the early-mid 1980s, not the late 1980s. I have noticed that bands from the post-AOR era were of less success, but I don't know if that is true.

Recommended? Yes, but the bonus tracks could have been omitted or of better quality. Thank you. Take care now. This review took over an hour to write! (Yes, I was listening to the album while typing it.)


title: Reminds me of Gloria Estafan

text:
This music is as close to perfect in every way I can imagine. I don't know much on this artist but "At the Feet of the Moon" should have been on this album, one of my favorites! It might have been released as a single (again, I don't know much about these obscure bands, although Parachute Club may be quite well-known from the 1980s).

"Rise Up" is another great song.

Sounds perfect for on the beach or as background music at a party.

I highly recommend this album. Very satisfied!

It sounds like Gloria Estafan in many ways, especially the voice. I could not even tell the difference today from back then which artist was what! (Well, somewhat - the Internet is the biggest aid to solve any missing knowledge in my memory bank.)


title: No preorder benefit or poster

text: The album is great but the title not being changed was misleading and I was disappointed because I didn’t get a poster or the pre order benefit cards :/ But the two bonus cards were nice and it came in great condition


title: One of the best little-known cds ever

text: The shipping from Japan was slow. But this is one of my absolute classics. It was well worth the wait. One of the best little-known cds ever.


title: Perfect

text: A masterpiece !


title: Like the Music, Not compatible with my computer

text: I don't think this CD was meant to be played on  a computer using Windows Media Play or similar applications. It will play only a portion of certain song and lists the musician as Yellowman under the category of Reggae


title: So So purchase

text: It took a long time to get this product as I had wanted it for my grandaughter for Christmas but I will hold it for next year.  I was a little surprised as it is WELL USED.  I am still happy with it but it does skip in places, but I am glad I finally got it.  It was delivered on a rainy day and I don't know how this happened but it was soaking wet.  I would suggest that anyone buying a old time record request that it be shipped in a water proof package.  Otherwise I am happy I found this.


title: GREAT DVD

text: THIS DVD WAS SO INTERESTING THAT I LEARNED A LOT FROM IT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS DVD TO ANYONE. I LOVE IT.


title: Nice

text: My father was a great fan and I grew up with Hank. Brought memories of my dad.


title: Enjoyed

text: I bought this for the song Jealous of the Angles. My friend like the CDs so much and bought two sets for  Christmas presents.  The only down side is that it takes so long to ship.

text: Great music


title: Fantastic buy

text: Absolutely perfect! They look and sound great


title: All my favorites on one cd

text: I never realized how talented Supertramp is. All my now favorite songs on one cd and the interest to listen to their whole catalog of music.


title: Solid,but a bit long legged at times

text: Supposedly the end all be all in scandanavian black metal. I dont agree. Although this album is good, a couple songs exceed 9min, and they run together. Theres alot to be enjoyed from this unswedish sounding swedish band album nord. I just find hell eternal and ekypriosis far better. Theyre more aggressive. more technically proficient. More creative. Id say a must have for FANS. But dont buy this thinking youll love it if your not familiar with SetheriaL. Theyre all competant musicians but the more they mature the better they get!


title: Dimmu borgirs epic masterpiece

text: I love this album! Why? Well its the first time i was able to see the beauty of darkness. This album in my eyes stand far and above all other DB albums and other melodic/symphonic black metal bands. It is an album that EVERYTHING was done to a perfection i havent seen since. All eleven tracks kick ass. Seriously give this album the opportunity to blow you away and ignore all the naysayers. This album has EVERYTHING you want (unless you hate keyboards). I have owned this album since it came out. And it gets used HEAVILY. I own a crap-ton of orthodox black metal, as well as symphonic/melodic black metal. There simply isnt an album out there as perfect as this. A journey through darkness, sorrow, misanthropy and rage. And by the end you will also enthrone darkness triumphant


title: just thinking about the music makes me sleepy

text:
Pros:  Very soothing lullaby music.  I can only get through 2 songs and I'm out like the kids.

Cons: Its getting a bit hard to find good copies of the CD.  I would copy the songs to a playlist on your mp3 player or ipod.


title: Great cause.

text: This sounds like a bootlegged taped from radio broadcast. Not the full day of performances, but the show by Don Henley. If you have a sound system where you can adjust for theater or concert or other audio preferences, you can tune it to your liking. Great performance, though.


title: I love the beatles

text: I love the beatles, but this one has a lot of interviews and some stuff that should not have been there.


title: Great album, great service!

text: Very good service!


title: I Love This Record!

text: This is pretty obscure CD, and the cover would do nothing to entice buyers and listeners if it were shown, but it is really great if you like Jump Boogie and can find it. I highly recommend it.


title: An Excellent Collection

text: I had the vinyl LP back when, and did realize this was the same album. It is an excellent mbaqanga set, and well worth the investment unless you already have an extensive library of mbaqanqa.


title: Four Stars

text: Recording level is a bit low


title: If you remember them - hard to resist.  If not - you will be pleaseantly delighted

text:
Drums, drums, drums.  Great horns, great horns, great horns.

The combination of the above will astound you if it hasn't already.

title: Great buy

text: The cd arrived the date It was supposed to, in excellent conditions. My boyfriend loved it. If you arent aware of this band's music, this is a great way to start.


I only bought it for Orgy - "Santa's Creepy Secret"  but it's got some other really good songs! :D


title: Great cd

text: Nephew loves it!


title: Thanks....great album

text: Awesome!


title: Copngratulations!  You fooled me.

text: This order was a mistake.  I thought it was the Billy Crystal video.


title: Lucas has lost the pulse of the Star Wars films...

text: Flat out, Episode II is not great. In fact, it's not even that good. There is NO action for the first hour and a half except for a brief chase scene in the beginning of the film. As Homer Simpson would say: SOOOOOOOO BORING. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge Star Wars fan who grew up on the original franchise which makes Attack of the Clones even more of a disappointment. Besides the aforementioned lack of action, the acting especially Hayden Christiansen is terrible. Yoda who was touted as having an expanded role in Episode II is scattered throughout the film at best. Although easily the best scene in Episode II is seeing Yoda get some swordplay against a rogue jedi, the scene only lasts about five minutes. The last hour of Clones does pick up in intensity, fighting, and action but it still can't save the film. The fighting, while entertaining leads to no ultimate payoff. Leaving the theater I felt no satisfaction whatsoever and I can honestly say that I enjoyed Episode I: The Phantom Menace much more. The FX are amazing in Clones but the story is too much to fit into a 2 1/2 hour film. Which leads to Episode III and as Yoda would say: "Clouded this films future is, indeed." Lucas has lost the pulse of the Star Wars films.


title: Ahhh...

text: If you're like me and have a really hard time turning off the tension, this is a life-saver. Belleruth's voice is hypnotic. Her imagery and affirmations neutralize negative states and fills the void with positive suggestions that will enable you to change your way of looking at your own life for the better.


title: dance enthusiast's dream.

text: Great dance compilation!!! Great mixes with some rare tunes makes this cd similar to the Studio 54 lp which is a classic recording.


title: Bill Henderson - well kept secret.

text: Bill Henderson is probably one of the best jazz singers of the 20th century. Years back, a local Chicago station - WCFL - AM, used to play his music on a regular basis. His signiature song in the 60's was "Joey, Joey" which I believe was from - I think a Broadway musical called "Most Happy Fella"; but I could be wrong. Nonetheless, Bill Henderson has such a unique way with a song and over the years his voice has remained the same. He does have newer recordings one of which is live at Lincoln Center. I have not heard most of his latest; but his "Best of" is a fine selection of music which will give the listener a fine cross section of some of his older recordings. One will not be dissappointed with the purchase of ANY Bill Henderson cd.


title: Beautiful singing.

text: Wonderful songs and in a "Night club" type of way.  We listen as background music during dinner

title: GREAT Debut

text:
I know I've been down the review road with other Marti Jones disks, but since this is debut album year, I figured I should at least cover her 'Unsophisticated Time' recording.

I know I'm a bit biased, but I do find it to be her second best overall disk, 'Match Game' being her highlight.

A bit rock, a bit pop, a bit folk and a bit alternative (well, for 1985, since there was no spandex, no electronics, no gimmicks). It's really Jones and her clear alto.

While there are a number of catchy songs ("(If I Could) Walk Away", "Show and Tell", "Talk to Me", "Lonely is as Lonely Does"), but not built for radio, let alone radio hits - not then and certainly not now.  The shame is, they are all likeable and singable sings, but since it was 1985, if you weren't Cyndi Lauper with a video in heavy rotation that included some WWF guys, you were dead in the radio waters.

Jones' soon to be husband, Don Dixon, produced the disk and wrote a lot of the music as well, but there are other writers who contributed.  And it's nicely balanced so not all of it is easy to sing stuff.

"The Element Within Her" is different for a pop singer.  Ditto with "Rhythm of Shallow Breathing".  It says more to Dixon's production and arrangement style than it probably does to Jones' talent.  Then there is the more pop-frantic "Neverland", which while not bad, probably is my least favourite song.

If there is a "hit" on here, it is "Fallow You All Over the World".  Without a doubt it is her most requested song at any concert she does and it's nice, but it isn't my most favourite of hers, even on this debut.  I am much more a fan of "Show and Tell", "Walk Away" and the "Element Within Her".

And when I say some songs are better than others, well that is true, but there really isn't a bad song on the album. Pushing 30 years later, I still play it often.

The one big problem - though not for me - is that it was never issued on CD. For a nanosecond efolkmusic offered it as a digital download, where I snagged it (though I still own the vinyl copy).

Still, if you have a chance to sample or buy 'Unsophisticated Time', I don't think you'd be disappointed.


title: amazing

text: Let me start out by saying that im a big fan of holland dozier holland i think they are amazing as a group but when i heard eddie holland sang it just blow me away the brother can sang.

title: One of the Doors best albums ... and remastered well!

text:
This album may be one of my favourite behind their debut album. It was sadly to be the Doors last album together. As this was released, Jim quit the band to go live in Paris and focus on his poetry. There was a lot going on with the Miami trial and Jim faced the possibility of prison ... and hard labor was still used as 'rehabilitation' in the 60s/70s Florida was a much different place.

Jim would die in Paris ... but not before calling his band mates to tell them he had heard about the fantastic critical reception the album was getting. He was going to come back and tour with the new songs but sadly, it would never come to be. The Doors were a trainwreck before this causing their longtime engineer to abandon the recording. He felt the band was losing their edge and called what he heard them creating 'cocktail music'. Before leaving, he told them that they needed to go back to their roots and rediscover what they enjoyed playing.

John and Ray could focus on their jazz ... Jim was a Bluesman ... Robbie was rock and roll. It all came together as they recorded the album in what was called 'The Doors Studio' on Sunset Boulevard. Today, its a restaurant but you can still see a plaque in the bathroom saying Jim recorded his vocals in there as he liked the echo effect. Across the street is The Alta Cienega Motel, where Jim lived off and on during this period and Barbey's Beanery where he drank and caused trouble.

I write all this because its important to know the backstory of how this album was created. The remastering is amazing. Lots of remasters add unnecessary bass and muddy the vocals. Bruce Botnick again oversees the remaster and is careful to preserve the band's sound. There was lots going on ... and the audio separation and soundstage are crystal clear and tight respectively. One almost gets a feeling they are walking through a dreamlike state when hearing the masterpiece that is Riders on the Storm. The best song ever written about LA ... LA Woman is very well done with Jim's gravely voice center stage. At this point, the cigarettes and booze had changed the smooth baritone of his youth into a gruff and aging growl, which worked well in LA Woman.

The order of the songs also is important to note ... in the past, Electra records had a tight hold on which songs could or couldn't appear on the album. The band was much chagrined that the label would hold back songs for future albums to ensure hits on each album. LA Woman was an album the doors had a lot more control over, so the order was picked by the band. This is why vinyl is such a great format ... you are forced to listen to the songs that aren't necessarily hits. Cars Hiss by My Window is an often overlooked opus which takes Jim's love of the blues and poetry and uses the rest of the band's musical talents to support. This album shows The Doors being The Doors. Had Miami not happened, there is no telling what the live performances of these songs would have been.

Beyond the fantastic sound of this album, the packaging is very similar to the original. There is a clear yellow plastic insert which features the iconic picture and the inner sleeve features what you would have seen opening the record in its original release days. I do wonder why so much attention is paid to the quality in the packaging and the remastering, yet they use a cardboard sleeve. Record labels should take it from the Jimmi Hendrix releases and include a plastic lined inner-sleeve to avoid wear on the record. The pressing is beautiful with a 180g record featuring a reproduction of the original Elektra label.

This sounds fantastic on just about any turntable but with my Klipsch speakers, any brightness I normally complain about is welcome because it makes the separation so noticeable and allows me to key into parts of the record I have not heard in that way. The only better version I've heard is the Accoustic Sounds 45 rpm version which sounds as though you are sitting in the room with the band. You can hear the band taking breaths and Robbie's fingers sliding across his fret boards. The downside to that release is that you have to flip the record every couple songs. I think this one will do me just fine ... I don't need the 45 rpm version ... or the anniversary edition with all the extras. Just give me some Jack Daniels and a turntable and The Doors will do the rest. Mr. Mojo Risin' really sings the blues on this album.


title: Good Overall but a little bit dated

text:
I love the W Hotels CDs because they help create that loungy vibe you get in the lobby, lounge and bar at a W Hotel. Best played with a system that has some good bass, these are great for relaxing, driving or romance. You tend to really lose yourself in the beats and soothing vocals. If you are the type of person who entertains a lot (or whom often finds himself next to a beautiful woman on a couch) these are some CDs you will want to add to your collection.

This CD stars off with 'Take This Life', which sounds like a Madonna vocal even though it isn't aligned with a soothing beat. W Hotel CDs usually start out with an uptempo number but this one starts off with a playful and sensual song like this one. 'Veni Redemptor Gentium' is a mystical song with an amazing Operatic vocalist. It is chilling, haunting and sexy. This is one of my favorite songs on the disc. It would be great for driving along a lonely road but also great for candle light and romance. It is clear to hear where the CD is going when the next song is 'Silence' by Delerium which is one of the best known 'enigma-esque' classics. While it is slightly played out, it works after the previous song and leads you into a romantic and sensual mood. Another played out tranquil classic comes with Moby's Porcelin. It again works with the vibe of the CD even though at this point I started to wonder exactly how old this CD was as these last two songs have a late 90s/00s shelf life. 'Demain Jazz' comes next (unfortunately) and in the snap of your fingers the CD goes from sexy and sensual into a loungy jazzy funk. I would probably like this song better if it came in a different place in the album. But I don't feel it transitions well from Moby. No batter can hit .1000 and the next song proves that. 'Back II Life' by Soul to Soul kind of makes you stop and scratch your head and makes you wonder if you wandred into a late 80s/early 90s movie about college. I would have left this one off.

'I Believe' comes next and restores the dreamy trance-like vibe that Moby left off with. It relaxes you and makes you forget that you wasted the last few minutes listening to a college anthem from 1989. Soft and soothing, this is a great song. 'Central Reservation' comes next, which is a little 'Lilith Fair' with a lounge beat but apparently is very popular with the ladies as several mentioned really liking this song. 'Worlds Keep Spinning' is a take it or leave it song ... I'd leave it but some might not mind it. To me, it sounds a little like something you'd expect to hear at a roller skating rink but it isn't the worst song I've heard on a W Hotels CD. 'Connected' comes next ... you've heard this one before ... and I would have left this off the CD because I feel it is not only played out but doesn't really belong on a vibe CD like this. I can't imagine hearing this in a W Lounge unless it was 'Back to the 90s' Night'. 'Weekend' comes next which has a funk sort of beat and another '90s College Mix' vibe. Skip. 'The Gift' comes next, which is something you could expect to hear in a W Hotel Lounge. Very light, airy and groovy. Nature sounds are mixed in and it has a dreamlike cloudy sound that makes you relax and soothes you. A nice way to finish off but the second half of the CD did not live up to the first.

Overall though, this isn't a bad mix and not one where the bad songs ruin the whole vibe. Still, I would probably cut about 1/4 of the songs off before putting them into my IPod. Obviously, this disc is a tad dated but still worth keeping around. Not as good as the Interlude CD though.


title: Love this music

text: These girls are something special. Can't get over how big and earthy their voices are for such small frames. Their talent is fabulous. I will be watching for more from them right away and I will be going to their concert in Portland in November.


title: Five Stars

text: I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mom. She loves it!


title: Four Stars

text: Brought copy for a friend and he was pleased


title: Mixed Bag:  Great Vocals and Instrumentals

text:
Both the vocals and instrumentals are extremely good.  The lyrics ... hit and miss; possibly more miss than hit.

Some of the songs are absolute outstanding:  The Cats in Kettle.

Several of the other songs are outdated and are of a political nature.


title: Not the best of the 90s

text: I was heavily into music when I was in high school from 1995-1999. I was surprised that none of the classic 90s bands like Weezer and Nirvana were selected. Not even Will Smith or The Offsrping, nor much of anyone else that was popular during that era. There is one good song each from Smashmouth, Joan Osborn, Vanilla Ice, and The Cardigans. All in all it's a pretty sad selection of one hit wonders and mediocre ones at that. So if your kids ask you what music was popular during the Clinton era, I wouldn't use this album as an educational tool.

title: Strange name for a band, but this album rocks!!!

text: I noticed this band's name on a chart with other British bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple on a TV show.  I was curious so I bought this CD.  It's excellent!


title: This took a while to arrive but was worth the wait

text: This was one of the first albums I heard on our new family stereo in the early 60's. In vinyl, it has long since been lost. I've looked for it in CD format for years and finally found it on Amazon. My only fear was that the CD rendition would not stir me as much as the original did. The titles might seem ho-hum, but the arrangements are wonderfully upbeat, in keeping with the uplifting nature of bossa nova!<br />Now that I've heard it, I am assured that it is as wonderful as the original. Thank you Amazon for making this "reunion" possible.

title: The 'Dirty Feet' Guy

text: As a regular at the Prison of Socrates coffee house in the '60s in Balboa, Ca., I witnessed first-hand how someone with a truckload of talent could go nowhere and someone with so-so abilities could become a super-star.  Tim Morgon packed the house nearly every night, while Steve Martin was sometimes booed off the stage.  So much for the big-time entertainment life.  As to this album of Tim's, it was a huge hit locally but due to shoddy promotion and lackluster management, it never sold on a national level.  The selection of songs is more of an expression of Tim's personality than his ability to sing, with the exception of the track, 'Ox Driver'.  There are not very many popular singers today that could match Tim's rendition of 'Ox Driver', a difficult and powerful song. The remainder of tracks were obscured at the tail end of the folk era, bypassing those looking for new directions in musical fads.<br />In closing, if you never made it to the Prison in Balboa or the Ice House in Pasadena, you may be less than excited about this album.  But, if you were one of the lucky ones that did, you will relive those carefree days through this album.

title: BEAUTIFUL CD!!

text: The music on this cd is lush and beautiful.  It is one of the best cd's I have purchased in quite a while.  Great renditions of well known tunes.  I hope Legrand comes out with Vol. 2.


title: A beautiful CD!

text: This is a beautiful CD!  The arrangements are fantastic, and the orchestra is lush.  I have several John Fox CD's, but this one beats them all.  Well worth the money.

title: A great treasure to keep!

text: I really love this memorial booklet. Actually it doesn't cost a lot of money, and certainly i didn't expect it to look really fancy. The booklet is really laminated with pictures of Michael, and there are messages from his family and friends. This is a great must have for any fan or admirer or die-hard fan who loves MJ as much as I do. I have been of fan of Michael's since i was a kid.


title: Great music from a great band.

text: I ended up buying 2 of these as gifts.


title: Blindfold test

text: I'd heard Ms. McDermott play in Cincinnati several times with the Linton Chamber music series, so I already knew her to be a very fine pianist...but I'd never heard her play solo Bach (nor solo at all). Driving home from a very taxing show, I had the classical station on the radio, and heard Bach- it had already started, so I missed the announcement who the artist was. I was so entranced and impressed with this performance (it was the 2nd English suite) that I knew I would sit in the car if the piece wasn't over by the time I got home- both to hear all of it, and to hear who the artist was, This is extraordinarily difficult music to even play correctly, let alone beautifully...the tone, articulation, phrasing, balance, voicing....I was aware of all of these, but didn't think too much about them....mostly, the performance was just stunning and beautiful. I was happy to hear that the performer was a part of the Linton series family for whom I already had high regard. Now I have really really high regard! I got right on here and bought the CD, and it's just terrific!


title: Nice bit of off-the-beaten-path rock history!

text: Better than the Deep Purple original....a reminder how good Queen's drummer is.


title: just the beat.

text: There are about 2 tracks on this cd that have anything more interesting than a pulse.


title: Good quality

text: I recommend


title: An excellent collection

text: A great UK import collection of five of Sinatra's 1950's Capitol released albums. Very decent mastering and good sound quality. This publisher, Not Now Music, has, in my opinion a spotty record on their releases. I've reviewed the "Complete Singles Collection" elsewhere and that's pretty much a disaster. This is not. The recordings are clean, the sound is warm and this set contains original recording and mastering info in the very good liner notes. It's packaged in a sturdy clamshell box and it's apparent a lot of effort went into this set. Having said all that, i'd recommend the Big12 import release "Frank Sinatra The Capitol Years 1953-1962". For, literally, a few dollars more you get an incredibly mastered COMPLETE set of all 16 of Sinatra's Capitol studio albums plus 63 "bonus tracks" which include all of the cuts from the 1950's compilations  "This Is Sinatra" and "This Is Sinatra Vol 2". But if all you want are the five albums in this set you won't go wrong.


title: Wonderful album. Mr

text: Wonderful album. Mr. Davi is only paying homage NOT trying to impersonate. People need to understand that he respects the great American Songbook as well as Sinatra ( Davi's first major acting role was in a TV film with Sinatra in 1977) and is simply having a fun time with these beautifully written songs. Davi offers a wonderful and deep timbre as well!


title: Great gospel music from the best

text: Tennessee Ernie Ford is a favorite of mine.  His gospels are (in my opinion) one of the best.  It was nice to buy of CD of my favorite singer.


title: A new verve and feel to some great Zappa classics

text:
“Road Tapes Venue #1” was essentially a rehash of the “Ahead of Their Time” cd, with a few other early Mothers of Invention concert tunes thrown in that were only slight variations on previously released material. Glancing at the playlist on this second compilation of Zappa Road Tapes, you might be expecting more of the same, as it appears to be nothing more than a rehash of the “Roxy and Elsewhere” and Helsinki concert (“You Can't Do That on Stage vol 2”) cds.  [Note: if you don't already have these cds, buy them instead of this.  But if you already own these classic albums, and were worried that you were simply paying for a less polished form of material you already have, let me put your mind at ease: this is a terrific cd, and a real gem for any true Zappa fan.]

What distinguishes this cd from its predecessors, is the presence of Jean-Luc Ponty in the band.  To accommodate his virtuosity on the violin, Frank re-arranged many of these classic songs, giving them an entirely new verve and feel.  If you ever wondered what the Roxy concert would've sounded like had Ponty not left the band, this is your answer.  Also, for those of you who appreciate the etymology of Frank's songs, this early concert features many embryonic versions of the iconic Roxy playlist.  “Big Swifty”, for instance, is a fascinating instrumental blend of what we now know as “The Adventures of Gregory Peccary”, “The Bebop Tango”, and the basic “Big Swifty” theme.  There is even an absolutely horrible early (maybe even first) rendition of “Village of the Sun”, which is nonetheless fascinating as you try to imagine how Frank got from this insipid dirge to the wonderfully offbeat version we all know and love.

Featuring iconic tunes, fresh arrangements, and arguably Frank’s most talented and innovative group of Mothers, “Road Tapes Two” is simply wonderful, and an essential addition to any true Zappa fan’s collection.


title: Two Stars

text: all good


title: I also love this for Carmelita

text: I also bought this CD for the Carmelita single. I had heard this rare recording on You Tube (while looking for various versions of a different song by the same name, sung by Warren Zevon, Counting Crows, and others), and finally found it on this CD. It's too bad that it's so short; it doesn't get enough play on my stereo because it's over almost as soon as it starts. But I occasionally see it sitting there, on my coffee table or in my car's console, and I have to play it. I must say that this little album, with the sleeper song Carmelita, just underscores how under-rated and under-appreciated the Cowboy Junkies are.

title: Not enough numbers and letters.

text: This product is great in theory. I loved that it helped with spelling and math. But there is only one set of numbers and letters. It's not too bad with the spelling cards, but over half the number cards have a math exercise on at least one side that needs two of the same number. This includes adding two of the same number and literally any card with a zero on it. It's a very poor product that does not give you enough pieces to play the game in full. If you chose this game for the math, look elsewhere.

title: Rock N Roll Classics

text: I'm a big fan of rock n roll music.  I love listening to the good old songs.  This is a great CD for anyone who enjoys clean rock n roll music.  Of course the songs are all short if you just want to jam for a moment.


title: A Classic  buy it

text: What can I say about a classic.  Gordon and Shirley were a great fit for the shows they did together.


title: Good purchase

text: Delivered as expected: very good condition, cd played flawlessly. Great purchase of gently used item.


title: Dead Fingers is amazing

text: Perhaps I am bias, as I have been a huge fan of Kate Taylor ever since I first heard her sing on tour with her sister (Maria) a long time ago, but this album really blows me away.  Dead Fingers has such a unique sound, and although their music has a lot of basic country-rock roots, they take it in a new direction which really has impressed me.  The band is also really genuine and down to earth & were extremely nice to me when I met them after a show they played last year.  Overall I really like every song on this album, and would recommend it to anyone.

title: One of my favorite albums

text: Had this as a kid learning to play saxophone.  Some of my favorite and very hard to fund tunes (Jones Beach by Quincy Jones and I'm Confessin' with an alto sax solo by Willie Sims).  Excellent condition too!  Love the clarity of vinyl.


title: Love the album - great gift for saxophone players

text: Had this as a kid and was glad to find it today.  It's an amazing album of the woodwind family (saxes, clarinets, flutes, even oboes and bassoons by an outstanding group of musicians.  Check out Otto Clink from the Glenn Miller band on Stomping at the Savoy.  Saxophobia is a classic.  Great to hear on vinyl.  Excellent condition


title: Outstanding program

text: Well organized, well presented. Completely love this program!


title: What a find and worth the long wait for shipping.

text: This CD is a great way to recall a group that is no more.  If you already own Maverick CD's the repeat tracks are still worth it to have this CD.  Even the tracks in Spanish that I can only translate a word or two are fantastic.  If you can hear you will enjoy the fantastic musicianship although you cannot understand the words.  This CD is the best $4 bucks I've ever spent and lasts much longer than an expensive coffee.  TLKeith in Beautiful Berea

title: Great Service/ Humanitarian cause too!

text: They shipped my CD to me in a well packaged way. This was a very hard CD to find, and I had looked all over for it. It looked  new,  a Steve Gold CD- of relaxation style of music- that had been released in 2008 . ( I still like to pop a CD in my Bose to listen to music)  I was impressed to find that the company ( Green Street Books) specializes in hiring the handicapped- which makes me very happy. I am glad that there are employment opportunities available for hardworking folks who face challenges in life .I plan to choose this option on Amazon again in the future- to  support their efforts!


title: OK but not great

text: My lack of enthusiasm is partially my own fault in that I don't know what I was thinking when I expected this to be better audio quality than it is.  It is music from many years ago ... many radio clips, etc.  As a result, it isn't great audio quality.  I probably won't listen to it very much.  I guess I have become a bit spoiled in the quality quality I enjoy.


title: Not what I was hoping for

text: I saw Inga Swearingen live and really liked her.  This album is not as good as what she did live.  OK, but I should have listened to this album before buying.

title: A sprawling, raucous performance

text:
Fleetwood Mac's "Live in Boston" (also known as "Live at the Boston Tea Party") is a three-disc set, limited edition release (10,000 numbered copies--mine is number 92) recorded in Boston during February 1970. At this time the name Fleetwood Mac conjured up British blues rock. At this point, the band featured the stalwart rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie and the triple-guitars of Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, and Danny Kirwan. For my money, there was never a finer line-up assembled under the name Fleetwood Mac.

This box set (mine is number 92 of 10,000) documents a sprawling, raucous performance that captures the essence of blues rock in extended, unfettered jams. Yes, there are a few sub par tracks, but those are not what you will remember. Hard core rockers of all stripe and manner should try to grab a copy of this box set while it's still around.

On the other hand, folks who loved the mid-70s watered down versions of Fleetwood Mac should run the other way, quickly.

Please crank the volume when you listen. This endeavor is not about subtlety. And thumbs up to all the excellent reviews of this CD already here.


title: A bit of seasoning will do wonders for their music

text:
Many a young band tries to stitch together an identity that sets them apart from their predecessors; the Dedringers take the opposite tact and revel in some serious rock `n roll and roots traditions, alternately covering Townes Van Zandt and channeling early Stones on the songs found on "Sweetheart of the Neighborhood." It's almost a shame this recording opens with the powerhouse track Sideman's Blues because it takes some time to come down enough to really listen to the slower, softer tracks that follow.

The fiery opening track and very cool final number Come with Me bookend a set of good, not always remarkable songs, but all played with plenty spirit. To me, that suggests the Dedringers are still working to infuse the energy and intensity of their performances into their recordings and are a band on the bubble, close to breaking out from the pack.

Sean Faires and Jonny Burke share songwriting and singing duties, and their rhythm section helps keep an edge throughout, even on the more fragile, softer tracks. I hope this band sticks around as I think a bit of seasoning will do wonders for their music. (I cannot quite give this CD four stars, but it's really better than three stars might convey.)


title: Calm, perhaps a bit understated, and graceful music

text:
If you can manage nothing more than giving yourself a peaceful hour listening to "The Gift: Acoustic Offerings for the Holiday Season" by Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel, then by all means do so.

Here is the balm to counteract the bustle and rush that take over our lives during the Christmas season. The music is calm, perhaps a bit understated, and graceful.


title: Like Musical Fireworks, Leaving an Indelible Memory

text:
It's hard to really judge Breedlove without having seen this defunct group of Texas rockers perform (as some of the other reviewers have). But one can imagine that their shows were energetic and rousing if this CD, the only testament to the band, is any indication.
The music cannot be neatly slotted, which in today's corporately controlled FM wasteland, typically spells commercial doom. Still, Breedlove cook up a smoldering musical melange that you cannot resist. When the band breaks loose, they rock with the best of 'em, laying down soulful vocals, slashing guitar, great swirling organ riffs, and powerhouse bass and drums. (If Dan Dyer really gave up music for modeling, then maybe guitarist Tyrone Vaughan has become an arc welder.)
There really isn't a dog among the tracks, though, like anyone, I have my favs: White Thread, Peregrine, Conscience, and In Between. I especially like the groove of Smooth which at times conjures up summertime sounds in the tradition of Young Rascals interwoven with power rock that hangs with the best jamming bands of any era.
Inevitably, I'm a bit sad, though, when I listen to this CD, and wonder why bands with this kind of potential fade away. I would also love to know how a band came to call itself Breedlove.

title: the Creature of the Black Lagoon

text: The only reason I wanted this particular CD was for the cover... as it has the Creature of the Black Lagoon on it. When I was a kid back in the 60's, that was the scariest of all the monsters back then. The song selection wasn't too familiar. Out of the 22 songs I know only 6 of them.  But that's wjat I like about these Time-Life series... they go to the back of the vaults to find a lot of these great classics.


title: Very poor customer service

text:
Clock stopped working on March 24th and I've been fighting with the sellers ever since.  I was first told I would receive a return label to return the defective product.

Now they are stalling and wanting me to "try" all of these things that I have already done.  I am not stupid I know how to operate a clock.

text: I will buy from this vendor again. Packing was outstanding to protest the LP. The LP, from the early 80s and very hard to find, is new and came with the original cellophane wrapper on the record! Awesome!


title: The Grasshoppers  'All Dressed Up and Someplace To Go

text: Both the lyrics and music  by this group are excellent. Great Bluegrass, a real pleasure to listen to. Heard them play the first time in a log cabin in the mountains during a dinner party. Went out and bought this CD. Wasn't disappointed at all. And I'm a rock and roller from way back. A real joy. Ranks up there with the likes of Ricky Skaggs.


title: Great Audio

text: This album sounds excellent.  I have an older press of this album, but the 180g puts it to shame.  The bass just sounds amazing on my sound system.  It is worth the extra money to get the 180g version.


title: Superb

text: This is the best of the series. Wonderful, melodic music by one of the greats!


title: Mavericks

text: I love this group and their very capable diversity. Raul Malo is a superb singer and hits the notes every time making him one of the most versatile singers today. I am so damn glad this group got back together to give it 'one more try'. This particular CD is an early recording of a great band and shows the growth from this until now. One must really listen to this to appreciate where they are today.

title: Great collection of songs from the heyday of Country Swing

text: These are all great songs, and all are very good for dancing (as you might expect).  I also have full albums by several of the bands represented here, although of those, the best are Chuck Wagon and the Wheels and The Frank and Woody Show.  But if we're talking just about the music on this album, these are prime cuts from all these bands.  If you like country swing, you should think seriously about getting this album.


title: Szpak Never Disappoints

text: I have not received the album yet, but by now, I heard it many times elsewhere.  As usual, every song is first rate, even the instrumental.  On this album, Michał really shows the quality of his vocals.  The styles vary, but in my opinion, the album is not as eclectic as claimed.  The only thing that disappointed me is that the entire album is in English.  I would have like to see at least the special versions (duplicate songs) being sung in Polish.


title: Weirdness amplified to eardrum damage levels

Sadly I can't add pictures at the moment, but it came with the CD, the photobook, a poster, and an I.M photocard (sweet child'o' mine, I love him so much, ahaha)! The music is great, since they have a variety of genres and they're my bias group, so I couldn't be happier. 💖

text: I bought this CD originally at a Goodwill store. I used it at bedtime for my grandchildren. 3-4 years old. When my  grandson asked for the CD this summer, he said it reminded him of his mother rocking him when he was little. The lyrics are great as well for young and old. I couldn't part with mine so I ordered this for him. We love it !


title: Great old time radio feel

title: Excellence old time radio feel

text: Great job at recreating the feel of the 40s and 50s radio shows.  I have collected just about all of the Lovecraft Historical Society CDs and they’re all good stuff.  AAA+++


title: Entertaining

text: I am hooked on these radio horror adventure CDs.  Great fun!  It’s like you’re back in the 50s listening to a radio show that’s live.  I highly recommend this and the other H P Lovecraft audio books of the same nature and from Dark Adventure Radio…


title: One of a few Bands called The Snowmen.

text: Supposedly live in some spots. You can hear crowd murmur but no one seems to even give a courtesy clap. There's very little known about this band. I think it's a safe bet to say that the costumed characters are not actual members of the band. Well anyway this is kind of geared toward children, but adults can find a few tracks to get some guilty pleasure listening. The name of the gravelly voiced singer whose name escapes me, does not front every song. Those songs ,the non gravelly ones, I believe were actually reissues by a band called Black Lace.


title: WHERE IS THE THEME SONG

text: For all those falling all over themselves over this CD I don't feel the same way. Sure it's got some really wonderful pieces, but WHERE'S The THEME SONG?? You know, that big spectacular powerful opening that occurs right after the Overture. That fantastic wonder that has tears of joy rolling down your face while you pretend you're a great conductor bringing out the best in the greatest symphony orchestra ever. That theme. They got this track called Prelude. The track they call Prelude might be in the middle of the movie somewhere, but it's not where they placed it on this CD. I'm sorry, but without the epic glorious theme my whole mood is killed for listening to this disc, I also made a thorough check of the tracklist on the 2 disc set and it looks like the opening theme isn't there either. It's a good thing I have a CD recorder and can transfer the theme from the DVD to my windows media and insert it where it belongs.


title: Forget All The Other Destination Moon Soundtrack CDs

text: This is the Destination Moon soundtrack to get. No suites. No samples. Track for track as it is in the movie it's all here in the same order as the movie. And yes, the Woody Woodpecker scene music is included right where it belongs.  The only very miner flaw is track 15 called countdown. It is totally inaudible in the movie. So it's inclusion is somewhat unnecessary. But if you're a fan of this movie or just a collector of 1950s Sci fi soundtracks you will want this in your collection.


title: PRACTICALLY ALL THE SONGS ON THIS CD ARE OUT OF ORDER

text: This Review is for the CD. Most of the music from the movie is here. Of course Alicia Bridges I love the night life is omitted. And I know that has a lot of people fuming.but then again the version used in the original movie release is heavily edited. About less than half of its actual time. Neither does it contain the replacement song The Man that I Love. Getting into more detail an extended version of Dancin' through the night is near the end of the disc. A shortened version is played when Dracula first walks in the nightclub (not on this cd). Another piece of music missing is during the conversation when Dracula introduces himself to Cindy. The song Salsa Source is extended and very predominant where as it's barely noticeable in the movie. This was during the part where the poor family thought Dracula as a bat was a black chicken. The next piece of omitted music is when Dracula as a bat bites the wino. it seems like varying tracks of Love Bites Back are used twice in the movie but only once on this disc. And finally the final orchestral piece where "Spoiler Alert" as if you didn't already know, where Bat Dracula and Bat Cindy are flying over the ocean of course is missing. Now if I happen to get responses I'll be more than glad to tell you the correct order the songs should be in.


title: I HATE THIS CD

text: Don't get it twisted. I love the movie. And of course I love the music. But this disc just drives me up the wall with so much of it out of sequence. And what makes it worse is multiple pieces that are out of order are shared on the same track so you couldn't put everything in the correct order if you wanted to. Plus there's still some music missing. Who ever put this CD together I hate you.


title: how can they forget the most exciting track?

text: if the writing on the disc was English the missing track would be 'Get King Ghidorah' . It's a good thing I have it on another disc. but having it missing here takes away from the completeness of a soundtrack.


title: NOT THE CD VERSION OF THE 70s LP. LIKE I WAS HOPING.

text: If you already have Space 1999 year 1 you don't need this. This is the same exact cd. Nothing extra. No little outtakes. The same exact thing. As for the music itself? MEH. most of it is sappy and boring. Every now and then something exciting and dramatic comes through, but over all I'm not impressed.


title: Neither of the Two Main Movies' Scores are complete.

text: The two main featured movies Are Mighty Joe Young, and 20 Million Miles to Earth. Both are missing more than half the music.


title: THE CLOSEST THING TO A MUNSTERS TV SOUNDTRACK

text: The cues and various themes are directly from the tv show. Unfortunately there are too many themes and not enough cues. In fact so many cues are missing that it leaves you feeling very unfulfilled. Some of the missing cues are, the slow eerie guitar strums that crescendos into the high pitch trumpet motif, most remembered when eddie wakes up expecting to be taller only to find he has grown a beard. Also missing is that low bassline piece when Herman is trapesing around the house. There also isn't that piece that kind of goes like this dant dant dant-dant dant-dadant-dadant dant dant dadant dadant-datant dadant, waaadididadadiddida didddaddah didaddddd wannnnaaaaaaanaaaa. You get the idea. And how can they leave out Herman's tryout for the Dodgers. Or the Standell's Come on and do the swim (just a little bit) hey jump on in (just a little bit) hey it's alright (just a little bit)... I could go on, but I'll leave it at that. The upside is it has that toe bone connect to my foot bone song. and a few other goodies. However they waste way too much cd space on trailers and promotions. to the maker of this cd "WE CAN'T SEE TRAILERS AND PROMOTIONS ON A CD". Who ever put this together doesn't have the love for this show people like you and I have. I'm sorry, I'm very disappointed. Only 1/3 of this disc is any good. If I had High tech equipment I would have done a much better job.


title: NOT WHAT I HOPED FOR, BUT GOOD FOR WHAT IT IS.

text: I could go on in detail of all the things a great Munsters soundtrack should have, but this is not a soundtrack so I won't waste your time. What we have here though, is an interesting invitation by The Munsters to visit them at their home. Herman Munster gives a descriptive tour holding your hand as he leads you through the house introducing all the family members to you. Oh! Before I go on. The first track is the originally intended, but never used track "At The Munster" with lyrics sung by children. Now back to the review. Yes the original cast is speaking to you on the album. Next Fred Gwynne as Herman Munster sings a song called "It Takes All Kinds Of People". Then Lily sings "Everyone Is Welcome". After Herman leads us down to the dungeon and introduces us to Grandpa, Grandpa recites an alphabetical poem of all the ghoulish things he likes. Butch Patrick has a speaking part, but his singing is performed by someone else. Marilyn has no speaking part, but performs in classic Disney style singing "When Will I find A Boy For Me". I think it's Pat Priest. You see another thing I forgot to mention is that the stinkin seller did not send the record with the album cover. Just a plastic sleeve. He didn't mention the cover was missing, but that's my problem, isn't it. Anyway, after a recap of "Everyone is Welcome" its time to flip the record over. "WHAT? Flip the record over? What does that mean?" That was geared toward the younger crowd that has never actually experienced the activities required of vinyl. Now side two has three stories. The First one Herman tells of Grandpa changing himself into a wolf. a recap of "Grandpa's Call of The Wild". Next Lily tells of Herman's bad result of having a ham radio. A recap of "If a Martian Answers, Hang up". Then We have Grandpa, not retelling any episode, but giving us a lecture on how to mix chemicals. The album ends with a somewhat awkward version of the Munsters first season opening theme.  Well there you have it, a pretty well detailed review of what to expect from this record.


title: OH HOW I LOVE THIS CD!

text: Back in 1973 I bought the reissue version of this cd on 12 inch vinyl. I was only 12 years old. I didn't know it was a reissue. To me this WAS the Monster Mash album. Now mind you this cd has 4 extra tracks that were not included in my  version. Personally I think they made a wise choice to omit them. They're not really bad songs. I just find them to be a little weak.  I'm going to list the songs for you, but bear in mind I can not column them. Here goes. This 1962 version released in 2009.  1) Monster Mash  2) Rabian The Fiendish Idol 3) Blood Bank Blues 4) Graveyard Shift 5) Skully Gully 6) Wolfbane 7) Monster Minuet  8) Transylvania Twist  9) Sinister Stomp  10) Me And My Mummy 11) Monster Motion  12) Monster Mash Party  13) Irresistable Igor 14) Bella's Bash  15) Let's Fly Away  16) Monster's Holiday. The 1973 reissue song list. 1 Monster Mash, 2 Rabian The Fiendish Idol, 3 Blood Bank Blues, 4 Graveyard Shift, 5 Monster's Holiday, 6 Monster Minuet, 7 Transylvania Twist, 8 Sinister Stomp, 9 Me & My Mummy, 10 Monster Mash Party, 11 Bella's Bash, 12 Let's Fly Away. Either edition, this album is so loaded with fun you just can't help falling in love with it. If I had only one gripe, it would be this; Amazon buries this one deep in the search results and is very hard to find. You have to type (Gary Paxton Monster Mash) to find it. Also it's only 1/3 the cost of the one they display first. And it's the same exact cd. Since I'm such a slow typist I've already listened to the whole thing and I'm ready to play it again. This time I'll use random select. OH HOW I LOVE THIS CD!

text: fast


title: Exception vocal range

text: I was on a cruise where she was the featured performer and ALL in the audience we pleasantly SURPRISED how personable, clear, and pleasing her performance was.  It was like a mad dash at the conclusion that most of the full house (almost no old farts) congregated and stayed to get an autographed copy of her CD.  Live was great and the recording did not disappoint.


title: Worth the wait.

text:
I first heard Asif Avidan on you tube and immediately was drawn to his style of music.

You can hear a little bit of everything as influence in his music.

I was a little leary on ordering from Israel, as it did take over 3 weeks to get.  However, the package arrived safely and the seller was very professional.

If you are looking for something a little different, but sounds very familiar, I would highly recommend this CD.  Highly enjoyable!


title: Speed of delivery

text: The product came in a timely basis.  My daughter adores Queen and was very happy to get the set for her birthday!

text: She wanted it for birthday, says she loves it...


title: Converge fans must own this

text: If you're a Converge fan, and don't own this record, you need to change that.  I have a really hard time identifying my favorite Converge record, or the "best" Converge record, but this is up there with their other releases.  The remastered version sounds clean as their latest releases, and the content of WFCC is outstanding.  Lyrically and musically, it is classic Converge, with all the makings of their best work.  WFCC also lacks the signature short tracks - all but one are 3 minutes or longer (excluding the final demo track).  I will say that I don't feel the drumming is nearly as amazing as Converge fans have grown accustomed to, although there are some great moments.  I also think WFCC isn't as varied as other records, except for the fact that there are a couple of slow, subdued tracks, or parts of tracks, dispersed throughout the record.  Standout tracks are My Unsaid Everything, When Forever Comes Crashing, Year of the Swine, and Letter Bomb.  The artwork is also impressive - as expected.  Bottom line - Converge fans need to grab a copy of this record.


title: Sehnsucht ist so Grausam

text: I like it a lot better when I was just singing the German without knowing the allegories. Oh, well. Had to ask. But even so, the song sehnscht is the best.

title: Worthy of Five Stars

text: Crash Vegas' three albums differ from one another. Song by song, they are all superb, with some weak tunes interspersed with terrific rockers and powerful, driving ballads. "Aurora," the third and final CD, is Crash Vegas' most varied recording. For me, it took several listenings to savor, but in the ensuing years, I deeply savor.

The entire 2006 tour is some great music.  Don't get it here, go to Instant Live co m and get them for 10 bucks each.  Sure bet for any jam band fan.


title: Good album, terrible audio quality

text: What the heck, this CD sounds terrible.  It's not even as good as the vinyl!


Great Album / CD

I love Rich Mullins' music. I just wish his life wasn't taken so quickly. So sad ! I saw him once in concert and loved it.

I am thankful though,  he has left us with a library of beautiful, deep and insightful music. His life also was a legacy to be admired as he lived what he preached. A REAL Man of God !

Rich Mullins was an incredible musician and Godly man. Love his CD's


title: Packaging we great, but the album was in poor condition

title: Whatever happened to this guy?

text: Picked this up on vinyl in a record store back in the 80's. Sounds like it was recorded live in some intimate venue. Stanfield is/was an incredibly fast and smooth fingerpicker, with a warm, rich baritone in which he sings of gambling women, sheriffs, and sword-wielding enemies in times of yore. It's quaint material, but done very well, so somehow it doesn't come across as corny as it could. As a guitarist, I'd place him in the same genre and league as John Fahey and Leo Kottke. The fingers on that right hand can really fly. Seriously, he inspired me, as a guitarist, to go out and get carpal tunnel syndrome. The question is, what happened to John Stanfield? I don't seem to be able to find reference on the web to any biographies or recordings, other than this one. Hope he's still out there picking!


title: Worth a listen

text: This disc serves a number of purposes, all good.  First of all, it's a sampler disc, giving you a taste of some music you might otherwise not hear.  Secondly, acoustic versions (and live ones, for that matter) allow other interpretations by the original artists, which you seldom hear outside the concert venue.  Overall, the quality and selections are good, and I got a chance to hear Henley do a cover of "Rain or Shine", which was worth the price of the disc.


title: I love listening to Bond...

text: But I'm not about to pay $969.00 for a CD. While the music is great, and I do have most of their CD's, this price is just crazy and someone is being greedy.

text: Cool collection for the HALO enthusiast. With a diverse array of items for a truly unique set. I had to get it in order to further complete my HALO collection.

title: Excellent LP, Apple Label and Excellent Price!

text: The LP looks to be in MINT condition. Not even a light scratch on the vinyl, the cover was also in mint condition. Exactly as described by the seller. I am ecstatically pleased with this LP!


title: The album is in very good condition. Gave it a listen after receiving it ...

text: I purchased this album when it was first released in 1983, my sister threw it away. This helped me reacquire this LP on the Atlantic label as it was in the day (the newer releases of this LP are on the Columbia label! It was the band's eighth internationally released studio album and the ninth to be released in Australia. The album is in very good condition. Gave it a listen after receiving it in the mail today. Reminds me of my first stereo system and playing this album back in the day. Highly recommended for any AC/DC fan.

title: GREAT Tunes; HORRIBLE Mix!!

text:
This is THE worst sounding cd in my vast collection!

JJ deserves SO MUCH better! Dozens of excellent songs are buried in a muddy mix.

Unlistenable! I can actually tell when one of the tracks pops up on my rotation and note how worse it is from the originals I also have a few of.....

It's a cheap money grab that does the a great disservice to the greatness of JJ Cale!

text: I just received this audio CD and am on cloud nine!  I had this album back in the late 1970s and played it all the time. Mr. De Souza puts on a tour de force performance on each song. De Souza is joined by dynamic artists like the late, great George Duke and the super-talented Patrice Rushen on this collection. All the songs are pleasers and refreshing.  Thank you Amazon for helping me "blow the dust off" an oldie, but a goodie!  Great music.

title: Five Stars

text: Excellent


title: Diverse music.

text:
I have been a fan of Ms Schneider since I happened upon her first release, 'Evanescence' some years back. I need to listen again to the first disc here. It is somewhat more muscular in its writing and performance than I am accustomed to in her works. At times it becomes almost dissonant, to my ears anyway, but it is in service to the topic of our digital life and world.
The second disc is more of what I have come to expect from her. Beautiful, complex compositions with appropriate arrangements played by a marvelous orchestra.
The packaging and booklet are also very good. If I were absolutely honest the 5 star rating would only extend to the 2nd disc and the packaging, but I am fairly confident that once I give the tunes on the first disc an adequate chance they will win me over as well.

title: Great cd from an underrated group!

text: Thee Prophets were only around for three years(1967-1970),but in that short period,they gave us some great music. This cd covers it all-it combines the original"Playgirl"album,featuring the title track,which was their biggest hit,with every single they recorded during the aforementioned three year period. One of the singles was never distributed properly and therefore difficult to find,but it's here. If you were a fan of Thee Prophets,you should add the cd to your collection.


title: all in all a joy to listen to

title: Incredible early recording of Black Sabbath

text: After buying this cd, I was blown away on the sound quality of this recording!  It is an audience recording but this sounds like a soundboard.  The recording is a little rough in the beginning as far as being overloaded but it seems to be coming from their own amps as it is corrected really fast.  The holy grail of early Black Sabbath recordings.  Find it, buy it! You won't be disappointed!

title: What Are You Selling?

text: I need a photo or description. With all due respect, how can you expect to sell this without anything to go by? Not sure if this is the exact thing I'm looking for or something else. Is it a single 45 or a 33 vinal album with a list of songs? Vocals or just instrumental???

title: Amazing

text: This young woman is a amazing. I am an "old-fart" and I like her music. Listened to her at my daughter's suggestion -- absolutely a great idea,


title: Disc one sounds much better than disc two

text:
Each of the two cds in this set contains a separate Miles Davis live concert. Neither concert was professionally recorded, so the producers tried to clean up the "bootleg" level sound quality, with varying degrees of success.

Disc one sounds relatively good, but disc two sounds very bad, especially when Miles is playing. The trumpet sound is highly distorted in most passages, because whatever recording device that was used could not properly capture the high notes.

The saxophone and the other instruments were not affected by the poor recording as much as the trumpet was.

There's a separate cd available that contains a professionally recorded concert from a date on this same Japanese tour, and the overall sound quality of that disc is far superior to what's on this cd.


title: Excellent value.

text: Both discs were difficult to remove from their hubs, but they played with no problems - four Nat King Cole albums on two cds.

text: I was on this CD so I have a vested interest. But if you like classical chamber music this is that at it's very best.


title: Coming late to the party…

text: I had some issues with a guy at work and discovered Taylor’s song mean so I bought the album.  What a talented writer and musician.  I thought she only sang for teenagers…but I’ll be 65 in September…nevertheless her stories make me remember…and laugh…and reminisce…I like it.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this vocal cd. Just what was looking for!


title: Charming and Wonderful is Moody's First Solo Recording

text: A solid first solo recording by one of the most talented, underrated, folk musicians of our time.  She is young here, but still delivers great vocals and solid songwriting.  Her voice is usually gentle in her singing, but in her song, "She's Gonna Rise", she shows just how much power and range she can deliver.  Something I would gladly hear more of.  I would recommend this to any fan of folk music.


title: Lovely.

text: A very nice mix of sounds and tunes. .


title: excellent on the banjo himself

text:
I can't believe that there are no reviews of this album.  Tony Ellis is banjo player supreme!  Steve Martin, excellent on the banjo himself, raves about Ellis.
Ellis' music is clean, crisp and original.
A wonderful CD. Can't wait for thr next one.
** this must be ordered from the Tony Ellis website.


title: High quality recording

text: Good quality recording. Ewen has a unique voice and I like all the songs. Worth the money. I'm happy.


title: Disappointing...

text: Sounds like a 10-15 piece orchestra in a recording studio. All the instruments sound fake. I was expecting a full orchestra recorded in a concert hall. I was also expecting the first song, "As Time Goes By" to be an instrumental. Instead it's song by an unknown artist. In short, this is my second RPO album purchase, and it will be the last. Both albums were disappointing.


title: Idk if it worked... anything for better sound, right?

text: I tried it once. Didn't notice much a difference. I'll try it again at some point. I watched a youtube video and Charles Hansen from Ayres Acoustics recommended it.


title: A nice gift for a friend!

text: I purchased this item as a gift for a friend. She loves it. She told me how hard it was to find anything in a record store by James "Pookie" Hudson.  She has thanked me many times.


title: Etc.

text: Excellent!


title: Great new rock! You won't be disappointed!

text: All I can say is wow! Saw Laura Cox on YouTube, and being the old guy that I am decided I needed a CD. Best music purchase I have made in a long time! If you like Southern rock you need to give this girl from Paris a chance. Every song is great. And, now I know why a guitar is shaped the way it is (watch some of her YouTube posts and you will see what I mean). Highly recommended!


title: excellent music for relaxation and ambience,  Love Bruno's work

text: Brno Sanfellipo is one of a kind.  His music is usually calming and you mind floats in it.  Like waves of an ocean.  Yo will not be disappointed!  Nat


title: ambient music just OK

text: Wanted soothing sliding into each other type music.  Not.  Selection is just so so.  Would not buy again.


title: Not what was advertised.

text: The CD sent was Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers but it was not the CD advertised on the site. The songs were totally different than described. Okay but not the songs I wanted.


title: Finally and NOT disappointed!!!

text:
I have wanted this filmscore since I first saw the film in 1990 (when I was serving in the U.S. Navy)! When they released the "Soundtrack" I hurried home to put it in my tape player only to discover that it was all Rock music, no Filmscore AT ALL!

Intrada's CD of this wonderful, if sometimes "dated" score is terrific (it IS VERY late 80's/Early 90's, which is MOST obvious in the track "Training Camp"!)! My favorite tracks from the score are "Freighter Raid", "Beirut", "Funeral" and "High Jumpers", with "High Jumpers" being my favorite of all!

I LOVE the theme that runs through this score! It is best used in the tracks "High Jumpers" and "Beirut". Especially in "High Jumpers", the main theme is powerful and thrilling! It sets the tone perfectly for the nighttime HALO parachute jump scene, starting out with tones with a bit of tension and military structure, but once the "door" opens, it releases into high altitude adventure and soars with the Navy SEAL's! As the percussion sets the military beat, the orchestra and electric guitar make you feel as if you are falling through twenty-five thousand feet with our heroes!

"Funeral" is a beautiful and moving piece of music and I think it is one of Sylvester Levay's finest orchestral pieces. It is sweeping and powerful and heart-wrenching!

The extras are enjoyable, with a nice alternate version of "Funeral" with (albeit synthesized) bugle in the background, but misses the heart-wrenching feeling of the beautiful track used in the film (I can SEE why they chose to use the version they did!).
I give this CD 5 Stars without hesitation! I am THRILLED that Intrada released this Filmscore after SO MANY years! LONG overdue!


title: I love the CD

text: Great merchandise, new and perfect condition.  I was disappointed on how long it took to arrive, though...If I purchase from them again I will give myself 2 months before I need it.


title: a great lost all time pop rock album

text: this is a classic album that should be much more highly regarded.  great songwriting, production, not to mention Andrea Wasse is a supreme musical talent, so there's that hahaha


title: A clear winner.

text: Hearing the sumptuous Mata/Dallas recordings made me wonder what his Rachmaninov would sound like.  I certainly was not disappointed.  The performance made me wish he had recorded the Second Symphony.  But it was the Grieg that caught me off-guard.  I have enough Norwegian blood in me to be prejudiced toward Norwegian performances.  But this was a complete joy in terrific sound.  There are a few unusual touches to this interpretation, but they are perfectly arguable.  Who woulda thunk a Mexican conductor could deliver such a sympathetic account.


title: Fascinating programming and performances.

text: This is a symphonic portrayal of three rogues.  It reminded me that Americans have always had a soft spot for such people, which can be both blessing and curse.  Each portrait is delivered with demonstration-quality sound that allows the intricate inner parts to be heard clearly.  And the performances are as good as any I have heard.  I'm a Mata/Dallas fan!


title: Great performances!

text: I am currently on an Eduardo Mata binge. I am trying to get anything and everything he recorded.  The reason is that every performance I have listened to reveals a conductor completely in charge of his baton technique, giving us interpretations which feel completely natural and spontaneous.  I also hear a willingness to collaborate with his players, rather than dictating to them.  Add to this sensational sound, and you have the recipe for superb recordings which are always in the running for the best I have heard.


title: Great performances!

text: These recordings put the lie to the idea that British classical music doesn't travel well.  Neither conductor is British, yet the performances are powerful, passionate, and life-affirming.


title: A great but overlooked performance

text:
Unfortunately, most of these reviews seem to be talking about recordings other than Mogens Woldike’s. That is a shame, as this has always been my touchstone for the St. Matthew Passion. The soloists are superb, the performance heartfelt, and the style is a happy balance between older ones and later historically grounded ones. You won’t regret it is if you can find it at a reasonable price.

Update 10-2-21:  I see most reviews are still centered around the Somary-Rilling recordings. Again, this is not them!  But if you can find it, the Mogen Woldike’s performance is excellent, especially in the closing pages with Teresa Stich-Randall’s ethereal soprano and Walter Berry’s incredibly haunting “Mache dich , mein Herze, rein”.


title: A Taste of Heaven Come Down to Earth

text: I ordered this through Amazon.fr.  It has been worth every effort, including grappling with the inadequacies of my high school French.  Most of these recordings were done by Club Francis du Disque, and bless them for what they have done in capturing the art of perhaps the finest overlooked soprano of her generation.  I was already aware of her Bach cantata 51 with Maurice Andre on trumpet.  I have never heard a more beatific, joyous recording.  As a teenager I would put this on whenever I was down and would be immediately rejuvenated.  What I really wanted to get this set for, given her obvious intelligence and sensitivity to her texts, was to hear how she would handle the Strauss Four Last Songs.  What a revelation!  There are many great recordings out there (and believe me, I listened again to them all), but this is now my go-to performance.  And everything else she did glows with the same warmth and color.  4 disks, and not a clinker in the bunch. I plan to add my own disk to the box of her contribution to the Brahms German Requiem and Bach St. Matthew Passion, equally angelic and wonderful.  Maybe she was just too pure for her own good, a case of a nice girl finishing last (although her Verdi and Puccini suggest she could play against type very fetchingly).  If you are not aware of her art, hunt this one down and be stunned by the one that got away.
