text: Very pretty soothing mystical sounds on guitar with lovely lyrics to match.  This CD can easily be used as one's prayer time as the Soul is elevated toward the Holy Trinity.  I enjoy listening in the car which for me is like a moving chapel:-)  John Michael Talbot at his best!


title: Have you Heard?

text:
Have you heard," For Those Who Love " by Phil Perry and Kevin
Sanlin? If not, I suggest you do so. Soul music is at its finest when this duo sing. One of the best recording ever produced.
Today's soul music is so rushed. Phil and Sanlin takes you back to an era when things moved much slower. Where a love song could make you fall and stay in love. When two hearts beat as one.
A lot of todays young talents has voices but don't know how to use them. Not so with Phil and Sanlin. One listen to this cd will have you running to the nearest music teacher to learn how to sing. For surly these two titans will take you to school.

text: It was promised to be new and unopened, and certainly was. When I had questions about the arrival time, the shipper always responded in under 48 hours time and even helped with rearranging the shipping address as needed. I have no complaints.

text: What a fun CD to listen to. It has been a long while since this atrist has put out something,but well worth the wait! The CD is filled with a multuide of songs.  You can't hardly sit still and be in a bad mood after listing to this. Great for a party. family friendly listning. definately well worth it.

title: It's not a DVD, it's just a CD

text: From the description and the titled of this product it seems like it's DVD of the live concert. However, it's just a regular CD. It's nothing wrong with this in general, I'm happy with CD as well, but it's disappointing to get the different product than the one you've been shopping for. 4* for wrong (confusing) description.


I just got my Dark & Wild album today in the mail.  I was so excited because it came the same time as The Most Beautiful Moment of Life Part 1.  The packaging is beautiful.  Mine came with two Teahyung photos on top of the album.  I was happy about them.  Teahyung is my ultimate bias.  On the inside there was a mini photo of Jin and the Bangtan Boys, a photobook and the CD.  Such beautiful packaging, will definitely buy more things from them.

title: Noooo!!!

text: WHY oh WHY did this have to come to be?? Dawn is an interesting character but like another reviewer says, she was snobby about New England and acted like nothing was good enough. I didn't care for her attitude. I still hate that she left as she was one of the original members of BSC. The first BSC books were the best. Also, HOW could she leave her OWN MOTHER!!!!??? I could not imagine leaving mine. SAD.


title: Satisfied Customer

text: Item arrived as described.


title: Will always be in my collection

text: I listened to this CD so often that I wore it out!  Great singing in the car.  'Goodbye to You and Me' def got me through a break up.  But that was over a year ago and I still listen to ALL the tracks.  John Hampton has a great voice,  check out his solo stuff if you get the chance.  And if you live on Long Island, you can prob find them playing live at some point!


title: Love it!

text: Been a long time Hanson fan and was really excited when my husband bought this for me for Christmas! The DVD really brought back some good memories!


title: Got to love Lenny!

text: Great collection of Lennys hits...many more could have been included but overall a good assortment.


title: Best Collection Out There

text: I really like this collection of Def Leppard songs.  I have all their other greatest hits collections, but this one is my favorite, simply because it does not just have the same songs as the other ones.  It throws in more songs from X, Slang, Euphoria, and my favorite - Adrenalize.  It still includes their older songs and of course includes alot of Hysteria hits, but it makes for a more interesting listen  when you just want to get a good mix that represents the whole versatile culmination of who  Def Leppard is .......a brilliant rock solid band that really knows how to write the creative music we love and want to keep with us.


title: Haydon's Greatest Pupil Continues to be Recorded!

text: Franciszel Lessel, born in 1780 in WARSAW and living until 1838 was a leading representative of the late Classical style. At 19 he went to Vienna and studied under Joseph Haydn from 1799-1809 where he became Haydn's favorite pupil. And upon returning to Poland for good, Lessel became one of the most prominent composers of his time. Appreciated by critics and audiences, Lessel wrote a number of piano pieces which constituted the core of his own recital programmes as he pursued a career as a concert pianist. Lessel wrote primarily instrumental pieces as a young composer in both Vienna and Poland. His later life found him composing  mostly religious compositions. This was after 1815. Though lost, he composed 6 Symphonies, now only a finale of his Symphony in G is extant. But what does still exist and been found and today being increasingly recorded are some chamber pieces, piano, and some concertos for wind and orchestra. This CD is 51 minutes of sheer beauty, the first a String Quartet No. 8 in B Flat wonderfully played by Wilanow String Quartet founded in Poland in 1967 and widely toured, and Lessel's Flute Quartet in G Major written in 1809 in Vienna. (While the String Quartet, played first on this CD was written in 1824 long after his return to Poland.) Both are wonderful examples of this composers talents. It may be composers of such great worth were forgotten after their deaths because recordings were not possible. We live in an age when all sorts of artists in music are researching dusty forgotten archives in Libraries and Conservatories, both wonderful repositories of great wealth, and slowly finding and recording the Jewels these two pieces are. If you want to hear the wonderful magic of music of Chopin's world, the 19th. Century, start here with Lessel and then try other works of his, recorded and available. You will not be sorry you listened, bought, collected this amazing Composer!

text: FABULOUS!!!!


title: Best since Countdown

text: An excellent album, which will go down as certainly their best release since their prime in the early 90's. I was hopeful that The Sick, dying, and the dead would rise to this level, sadly it didn't. This is an easy 4 star album, with the follow up being 3.5 stars. Kiko has done wonders with this band.


title: A mixed bag

text: The sound quality isn't the greatest, but it's not horrible. Historically significant show as Burton died just months before, so this is one of Jason Newsteads early gigs. Nice setlist, back when Metallica was angry and crazy. This is a semi legal bootleg release on a real factory pressed CD.


title: Not bad for semi legal bootleg

text: Pretty good sound quality for this epic gig when Metallica was at their peak.

title: You Talk As Well As You Sing Captain Jan!

text:
Just like Justin R. Thompson, I grew up listening to this album, and wore it out after repeated playing. Now in middle age I can't remember where I put my keys or wallet, but I can still quote extensive sections of this record. That's how memory falls apart, I guess. This is a brilliant collection of some catchy original Jan and Dean surf songs and some genuinely hilarious humor sequences following the adventures of Captain Jan and Dean the Boy Blunder. The voice acting is great (I assume Jan and Dean did their own voices). The villains hysterical and the production values high. I was lucky enough to find a nice clean copy of the original LP years ago, so I have my fix now. But I might just grab the MP3 set on here anyway just because I'm having a hard time making a good digital copy.

Anybody who wants to get a virtually unknown bit of 60s trivia can't go wrong with this album. It's funny, almost painfully earnest, and just a blast to listen to. Highly recommended.

title: Awesome Jazz!!! Straight Ahead from Havana

text: A wonderful jazz recording from Ignacio and his trio. Great selection of songs. The album flows very nicely from beginning to end with no fillers. The musicians on the record all demonstrate true craftsmanship and all at the top of their game. Ignacio's playing is superb, he's in excellent form as usual and without a doubt at his peak as a drummer /percussionist. Truly one of the all time  greatest. Looking forward to seeing live.<br />I highly recommend this record..


title: Love everything he does

text: Love love love


I use this recording with an English class that is reading  the text while listening.  It is lovely to hear this beautiful poetry come to life, to hear what it might sound like in performance.  This rendition has some of the finest English actors, familiar women's voices as well as the inestimable Robert Donat.  I had lost my copy and was tremendously relieved to see this available still.  I would definitely recommend it.

title: Top shelf jazz out of Santa Fe

text: This is an absolutely terrific CD. Richard Snider is a retired music educator in Santa Fe, NM. He assembled a group of the local heavy hitters and put this together. The tracks include I'll be home for Christmas, The 1st Noel, Silent night, Let it snow, What child is this, Oh com, oh com, Emmanuel, I wonder as I wander, Oh come, all ye faithful, Santa Claus is coming to town, Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Feliz Navidad, and The Christmas song.

text: He's an OK singer. This album just had some sentimental value to me, and I remembered every song. The steel guitar doesn't sound a clear as I recall on "These Are not My People". Perhaps some tape quality fade with time.

I bought this album for one song,
“Prisencolinensinainciusol” which I really like. This song is not currently on ITunes and Is hard to find on disc.
 Rest of the album is ok.


title: Nice, Soothing Music

text: This is the only lullabies CD that I can tolerate!!  Very soothing for my 2 little ones!  Worth the $!


title: One Song

text: I only about 4 songs on this CD. I really bought if for one but 3 others others caught my interest. The others may be fine but not of my liking.


title: Very nice. Lovely sound.

text: Excellent!


title: Timeless!

text: I purchased this in cassette format on a whim 13.5 years ago for my daughter. We played just about every night to get her to sleep.  Musical arrangements are fairly sophisticated, beautifully written and very original. Not the typical corny lullaby compilations on the market today (and yesterday). And NOW it's out on CD!! Just bought it for my cousin's 6 month old. Our cassette tape is worn out.


title: Another classic 60s that needs to go on MP3

text: The Rag Dolls were not a famous female group, but in this "one-hit wonder" they made a big splash in 1964.  A mellow combination of female voices on this record, for sure, but it's another one I'd be most happy if Amazon could get a hold of it and digitize it so the archives will have it available for present and future listeners.  It's a sweet piece of music indeed in my opinion.

title: great music-poor manufacture

text: I love Brandi Carlile's music. I ordered this CD from an Amazon.com seller. It came still in shrinkwrap. It played fine. But- I noticed the disc had small nicks,marks, imperfections around the edge. I have a fairly large CD collection and had never noticed anything like this till recently. I recently made another purchase from an Amazon.com seller and that CD had similar imperfections. This is obviously a quality control problem in the manufacture process. These are not first rate discs. Has anybody else noticed this? How are these second rate manufacture discs making it on the market? This CD deserves five stars. I gave it three stars becuase of the sloppy manufacture of the disc.

title: Sister's birthday nearly ruined.

text: I have to give this a one star despite almost everything being perfect, because in the album I was sent, there was no photocard. It arrived with the postcard and poster, but no photocard in sight- my sister is 11 and a huge Red Velvet fan so I bought her the new release for her birthday today. She was very upset by the fact that it had no photocard as that is a big part of the kpop album experience. Luckily she is a good sport and moved on, but I felt bad giving her a defective present.


title: Not a good choice.

text: It took a long time to get here and some of the songs are not even by Sam Cooke - also the list is wrong, the songs are completely different than what it says it is.  Do not waste your money.

text: I have owned this recording since my youth, and grew up listening to, and loving both sides.  In the Sibelius, Rosand's playing is consummate, expressive, and graceful. He perfectly captures the whimsy and playfulness of these delightful Humoresques.<br />The Nielsen 6th Symphony is a display of fireworks, flying notes and gorgeous sounds, all well played in this rendering.


title: A star is born

text: A fabulous recording by a woman with talent to spare. All the tracks are catchy but not cheaply so. This music gets better with each listen and the songs are heartfelt. They appeal to a young pop crowd, grown-ups and everyone in between. The acoustic versions are an informative shadow to the full tracks, and just as enjoyable. Can't wait to hear more: look out world, here comes Shara Strand!

title: Interesting and eclectic collection of avant garde recordings

text: I was not familiar with ReR or with this series.  I stumbled upon this because it included a piece by Robert Wyatt, whom I like very much.  I also recognized the names of Henry Kaiser and David Thomas, so I was intrigued.  I was not disappointed.  All the other pieces are by artists I do not know, but all are very interesting.  Henry Kaiser's piece, a musique concrete piece made with recorded dog barks, is a clear stand-out.  I intend to seek out the other editions of this series.


title: Great collection of Carpenters' singles

text: If you are looking for the original, 45 single versions of The Carpenters' hit records from the 70s, look no further. This release collects them all as you heard them on the radio back in the day!


title: Retreads

text: This is not a release from the Box Tops hey-days in the late 1960s... instead the band got back together and knocked off a bunch of cover songs (including a new version of "The Letter")... it isn't bad, but it isn't great, either... I probably won't listen to it again after the initial listen.

title: One Of Bowie's Best Live Albums

text:
For those who do not know, this live album was only available to subscribers of David Bowie's official website. It can be a bit of a pain to find and/or pretty spendy, but I assure you it is totally worth it. This contains performances from his Earthling tour, all songs from 1. Outside and of course, Earthling. The Earthling material is great, but it's the 1. Outside stuff that really stands out. The Hearts Filthy Lesson, I'm Deranged (Jungle Mix), Hallo Spaceboy, The Motel, and The Voyeur of Utter Destruction are here and they are fantastic.

The second disc contains a remix of a song called Fun, a song that they played often during the Earthling tour, which was never officially released. (Despite there being a recorded studio version out in the far reaches of the internet) This is a blessing and curse because it is a cool song, but I would much prefer to have the original version.

All in all this is a must have for collectors and fans of Bowie's Outside/Earthling period. These performances are top notch and a joy to listen to. Get it and you will not be disappointed.

title: Spirited rendition of varied folk songs

text: The Dady brothers do many things well -- sing, harmonize, play guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, uillean pipes, tin whistle, and bodhran -- and this collection of songs about the Erie Canal showcases their talents almost perfectly. From the danceable "Buffalo Gals" and "E-R-I-E" to the traditional Irish style "Canal Digger's Lament," with uillean pipes as the only accompaniment to a half-spoken vocal complaint, to the contemporary folk "Singing Just for Friends," the songs are sung with feeling, and the arrangements are brilliant. If you like any sort of folk music, give this a try.


title: Vinyl transfer is awful

text:
Not sure what the source is for this but the vinyl sounds awful, distorted at times and just plain unlistenable.  Don't waste your time on this, especially when you can buy an official Garcia/Kahn double LP for less...

Anyone that says this isn't sailing music clearly never been on a sailboat for more than a few hours. This album is the essence of the cruising sailor, written and performed by someone that knows (check her pedigree out if you don't believe me).

If your boat is your sanctuary then buy it, listen to it...rinse and repeat.

I'd give it six stars if able!

title: One of the Greatest Opera Recordings Ever!

text:
In my opinion, this recording has no equal. The cast is uniformly strong, and Thomas Stewart's Hans Sachs is likely his greatest recorded role. Rafael Kubelik leads a superb orchestra with authority and, at the same time, great warmth, and care for the details.
DG made this recording, but suppressed it for many years, and there are different stories around about way this happened, but it could be because D. Fischer-Dieskau wanted to record the role of Hans Sachs, which he eventually did, in 1976. He had enormous influence over the company in the 1960s - likely more than the conductor did! Even the sound quality holds up, despite the age of the recording, and IMO is far better than on that later DGG recording, led by Eugen Jochum.
If you love Die Meistersinger, or want to love it, don't miss this very special version!

title: Actual CDs are very well done, track info needs work.

text: This is a great set of CDs. The bird sounds are very clear and long enough to get a good idea of songs and some calls. Each track is clearly introduced and gives enough pause between tracks.However, with 99 tracks on each cd it is somewhat daunting to navigate. This is compounded by the fact that, at least in the set I received, the booklet that tells what each track number is had every other page blank.

title: Nice CD a bit oversold

text: We heard songs from this album on our kids Pandora station. When we researched the album we saw it had celebrity support and we bit...The CD isn't bad but it is quite short and seems to be almost a bit of a teaser for children's music classes the artist teaches. We like it anyway but would be happier if the album was longer than 30 minutes.


title: Surprisingly fun and catchy

text: I wanted to give my kids a little of the Kindermusik experience without paying for the class, so we use this and other CDs for "music time", along with rhythm sticks, egg shakers, bells, and sand blocks (all available cheap on Amazon). One song is meant for egg shakers ("Egg Shaking Blues") and those are great for the price. I am surprised how catchy and interesting the music is -- lends itself perfectly to rhythm play. The songs are quite peppy but not the typical annoying toddler songs and represent a variety of musical traditions -- for instance "The Keel Row" is a Scots-English song from 1770 with a fascinating history behind it. It would be nice if the lyrics were included but you can google. Anyway, I still actually enjoy listening to it over and over (within reason).<br />My only recommendation is -- backup the CD before you let your preschoolers manhandle it!


title: These CDs kept me engaged for an 8-hour road trip

text: When my coach recommended that I develop my curiosity, I found this book on CDs at the library.  It kept me engaged as I drove from Arizona to Utah.  The author is ever so inspiring in his sharing how his Hollywood career began.  I believe that it was one of those divine moments and he acted immediately.  He does not have call reluctance.  He called famous people before he was famous and asked to interview them. Sometimes it look over a year to land the appointment. His persistence paid off.  These CDs are fun and confirming that people with curiosity, are way ahead of the game of life.


title: Incandescent. Timeless. Genius.

text:
A couple of business type points first.  The Limited Edition Mosaic Box series is one of the glories of contemporary music history.  Mosaic typically focuses on one artist during a particularly fruitful period of their work and repackages and releases everything they can get their hands one. There are always great notes and lots of photos from the sessions.
I always recommend that you go to their site first. Since their editions are limited they do go out of print and then their prices skyrocket.  This Braxton box was released in a 5000 printed edition.  I bought mine just a few days ago and paid less then half of what the current seller is asking.  Just saying. Caveat Emptor.

The other point is that Amazon has it wrong in the product detail listing- there are eight CDs, not six in this box.
And what music! Braxton in the 70's is the very definition of a genius at one of his peaks.  This is a man of enormous musical imagination who unleashed that creativity during the seventies.  Consider the CDs:
New York, 1974 (quintet,duet and saxophone quartets)
Five Pieces 1975 (quartet)
Creative Music Orchestra 1976 (legendary big band/orchestra session)
Duets 1976 (with Muhal Richard Abrams)
For Trio (trios with Henry Threadgill, Douglas Ewart, Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarmen)
The Montreux/Berlin Concerts (AB released about five truly great quartet/quintet live recordings during this decade)
Alto Saxophone Improvisations 1979 (AB practically invented the solo sax genre with For Alto back in 1969)
For Four Orchestras (self-explanatory)
For Two Pianos (Frederic Rzewski and Ursula Oppens)
Look at that range. Solo sax to four orchestras and most everything in between. Look at the name of his fellow players.  Braxton came out of AACM in Chicago, he was part of the New York Loft scene, he spent time in Europe during this decade working with European players like Derek Bailey and Evan Parker. Part of what I love about creative music is the way the musicians try to be independent of the larger labels and try to support each other in their endeavors.  People like Abrams, Braxton, Parker and Dave Holland (a regular bassist of AB on these recordings) had a lot to do with that.

Not all this music is equally successful.  I am more fond of the solo sax work than the four orchestras pieces. There are none of the recordings of the classic AB quartet that knocked us out all through the late 80s and early 90s.But there is so much music of such high quality in this box that it is doubtful that one can claim to know the history of modern jazz/creative improv without knowing the music on these CDs.
Much of this music is available on individual CDs although frequently hard to find and expensive by themselves.  If you can find this box at a reasonable price, I recommend it highly. It is all too rare that we are blessed by musical genius.


title: This guy must really drive his fellow musicians insane....

text:
...but in a good way. Not only does he write compositions that make enormous technical demands on his musicians but he wants the musicians to utilize his own theories of improvisation within the piece. Go to his website and read some of the interviews and you will see what I mean. He circles around a definition of his improv theory (which he calls "array improvisation") with the following statement: "array improvisation does tend to steer one down a certain very abstract, modernist aesthetic road. It's also very much involved with pitch and rhythm and melody, and not about texture or sound per se, which separates it from a lot of other free music" (This is from the interview that he does with Tony Reif in October of 2002.) He also goes on to say that it takes an enormous amount of work on the part of those who play his music to understand the concept and to work within it effectively.
Judging from this CD, Zimmerli has found the right group of musicians. Besides himself on the soprano saxophone (he is a very good player, by the way)and Ben Monder sitting in on the guitar, Zimmerli makes use of a group called Octurn. This consists of Laurent Blondiau on trumpet or flugelhorn, Geoffroy De Masure on trombone, Guillaume Orti on alto sax, Bo Van der Werf on baritone sax, Fabian Fiorini on piano, Pierre Van Dormael on electric guitar, Otti Van der Werf and Jean-Luc Lehr on electric bass and Stephane Galland and Chander Sardjoe on  drums. Put aside the observation that this is the most wonderful collection of names in the history of music ( I feel like I am reading the Song of Roland when I recite those names) and ponder that wonderful instrumentation. We have a double rhythm section with a horn quartet on top. Along with Monder and himself, Zimmerli has twelve musicians to utilize.
Zimmerli is a wonderful orchestrator. He creates layers of rhythms and melodies that are complex, very distinct, propulsive and wry. I will not try to lay out for you the structure of this CD's music. Zimmerli does that for you on his website. I will say that the compositions and playing by all is superb. Zimmerli reminds me of Zappa sometimes (Peaches en Regalia), other times of Michael Nymen (Musique à grande vitesee), still other times of Debussey. But that is just me trying to find my hermeneutical feet within this music. Zimmerli is an original who creates his own context.
Go to his website for sound samples. If you have trouble finding this beauty, write me and I will have a few suggestions. And also see if you can find Octurn's own CDs. I am awaiting one now called Chromatic History.


title: Very Satisfied

text: This in an album from my childhood.  The book and record are all in very good condition.


title: Seller does not examine his mechandise before reselling as in this LP vinyl record

text: UPDATED to a 4 star because I got a refund from this sale. Don't know right off if Amazon just gave me the refund or the seller did this on their behalf. But am glad for that refund. I shows honesty in seller/buyer commitment. I liked that. All in all the product LOOKED good, just not playable all the same. Speedy shipping and care taken on that part too. thanks to all involved. This was to be a top collectable LP vinyl by Golden Grass: The Grass Roots. This album had marks/scars that would make the 1st song skip over grooves repeatedly on side 1; Also other mars on the LP were more distinct but those songs made it through the side. Overall, I am keeping this LP only mainly because I don't wish for the hassle of sending it back and all. This is NOT a Collectable in this shape where even one song cannot be played through. I am asking the seller to drop the price of this down and will re review this to see if Spinning Top Hat in Westerville, Ohio does cut the price of this NOT SO COLLECTABLE RARE LP That is not that.


title: Awesome.

text: I look forward to receiving this cd. I bought it as a cassett over twenty years ago and have waited for it to become available on new technology.<br />It is a cd you will NEVER tire of. It takes you back to way back then. Awesome.

title: My kids love it, and so do I

text: Love these songs!! Each one is a bible verse, so as they learn the song they are memorizing bible verses!


title: an energetic performance

text:
Good points:

--The tempos are preferable to those of the Gauci/Aragall recording, in which many of the tempos are too fast.
--I don't know whether it's Mehta's conducting or Decca's recording, but the orchestra sounds very clear and colorful.  Countermelodies come through on this recording which do not come through on other recordings.

Bad points:

--Like other tenors, Bocelli shows how long he can hold on to the high C in the Act I aria.  (Which Puccini didn't write anyway!)  Pavarotti didn't indulge in such gawdy displays; how do other tenors have the right?

--Mehta rushes the ending of Act II.  This is admittedly a minor item, but I have a neurosis about accelarandos which aren't written.

--I am used to hearing Anna Moffo sing the role of Mimi.  Moffo has a mellow voice and Frittoli has a brilliant voice.  I realize that this problem is internal to me, but I thought I'd share it anyway.

--In the contrapuntal vocal numbers, such as Musetta's aria and the quartet in Act III, we cannot always hear all the voices clearly.
Too bad Mehta couldn't have conducted the singers.


title: What's the big rush?

text:
Most performances of La Boheme take 120 minutes.

This performance takes 104:16 minutes.

If you say that this performance is faster, you know your math well.

Indeed, the difference in tempo is quite noticeable.

There should be no difference in interpretation, because Puccini gives us tempo markings all the way through.

Now if you will please excuse me, I must order another recording of La Boheme.


title: Jim Rohn is a genius!

text: Mr Rohn has a great life story and has gathered a number of great principles.  He has a powerful way to present them.  this one-hour cd can be listened to over and over and over.

title: Entertaining for the Whole Family

text: I listened to Wild Times and More Wild Times as a child and now with my own baby find them funnier than ever.  They are well crafted and very creative.  Excellent choice for good quality entertainment.


Kevin Max is a wanderer. He traveled through dcTalk and into a solo career that has crossed and bridged genres, detoured through an album and tour with Audio Adrenaline, then weaved back into two solo efforts to show us what he learned on the journey.

The second of his post-Audio Adrenaline albums is the forthcoming Starry Eyes Surprise, a collection of classic “standards” filtered through a gothic haze and the unique attributes of one of the finest voices in or out of the world of CCM. It is a strange and wonderful thing…an otherworldly cocktail of equal parts Poe and Sinatra, Smiths and absinthe. It is unlike anything we’ve heard from Max and that’s a good thing.

It’s clear that Max was focused on the details with this project. Each arrangement seeks to balance our familiarity with these songs with a sense that we’re hearing them through some portal into another universe…a place with a bit more shadow, where fiction has become reality and vampires croon in smoke-filled rooms to other weary wanderers who, though never lost, have settled into warm leather booths to sip on highballs and enjoy the energy of the night.

If you are familiar with Max’s work with dcTalk or Audio Adrenaline and seek “more of the same,” this is likely not the project for you. Max has never been an artist to settle comfortably into a style and repeat himself for the sake of album sales or mainstream CCM acceptability. Instead, the artist stretches and flexes his voice and our sensibilities to give us what we haven’t heard from him before.

From the dark rockabilly sound of Jody Reynolds’ Endless Sleep to the sublime horn section of Corey Hart’s Sunglasses at Night, Max dazzles with his unique perspective and unmistakable vocals. Whether tackling Disney (When You Wish Upon A Star) or Andy Williams (Moon River,) The Smiths (Last Night I Dreamt that Somebody Loved Me) or The Church (Under the Milky Way,) Max brings something new to the old and leaves us with a stellar project we never knew that we needed…but did nonetheless.


title: Good deal for the price

text: Surprised to find this copy taken from a municipal library catalog.  Hope I don't incur late fees years down the road.  Despite wear & tear on case, discs operate cleanly.  Good deal for the price.


title: Fun band and the album is choke full of powerful lyrics

text: This album is SO awesome. Edmund Hatcher is a WONDERFUL song. Roll it up, just plain fun. Emma is just powerful. Most everyone has never heard of this band. That's a shame. Take a chance, buy this album and give it multiple listens. Great stuff.


title: Brenda K. Starr 12"

text: I didn't know this remix even existed. Now that I have it, it's okay. Not as good as the other remixes that she put out. Once I ordered this, it got here pretty quick. I'm grateful for that. Overall rating is great.


title: Best

text: I love this cd! So good John 23rd is my 2nd favorite song of all time, weight is so good also. If you like Sarah Mclachlan and Tori Amos you will love Sarah Slean for sure! Definitively worth the $8!


Not origa's finest but worth the purchase.
I recommend origa's best compilation
and ghost in the shell stand alone complex soundrack.


title: Three Stars

text: Good


title: Compilation of spiritual prayer songs by women artists/songwriters

text: The perfect album for personal and communal prayer reflection, retreats, and various group events. Geared for women but can be used in mixed groups depending on the theme you are going for. Great music/lyrics/vocal performance. "Please Break My Heart" is a good choice for social justice groups because it sets the theme for having a compassionate heart.


title: An Audio Adventure

text: I've been blessed to purchase and enjoy all of the G.A Henty audio dramas and it amazes me how well timed God manages to place each of their releases to speak to His people.  I can't think of a better time for the world to be reminded that their were godly men on both sides of the War Between the States. The audio quality is beyond compare and the story takes you on the journey that every boy (and man that still holds adventure in his heart) longs to go on. You and see and feel the battles in your mind and make the heroes and villains personal. You can feel the adventure and regret of war and it is as though you're watching from the house porch as a new love blossoms. I highly recommend With Lee in Virginia as I recommend the entire series.


title: Talk about yer Great Lost Masterpiece List....

text: This and its companion LP Fat Dogs and Danishmen, established Dr. Dopojam as one of the most amazing unknown bands of all time.  Danish prog is obscure enough with Burnin' Red Ivanhoe, Alrune Rod, Secret Oyster, et al, finally being eked out on CD, but these are highlights both in terms of obscurity and brilliance.  Not fusion, but amalgam.  Very Dada, very Zappa.


title: Good Listening!

text: I only have this album because I ran into one of the Broun Fellinis on the bus in San Francsico on the way to work a few times, many years ago, the 1990s I think. Somehow I wound up buying a CD, not sure when or where I got it. Anyway, one of my favorites. Misplaced my copy ages ago but can still hear it in my head.


title: Classic folk in very high fidelity.

text:
I purchased the vinyl album when originally issued in the mid -'60's.
Since the introduction of music cd's I have kept a list of albums to buy in that format when they became available.
Very happy to finally get this one.
As to the music, it is terrific.
All acoustic performances by the two gringos.
I know little Spanish, but the emotions come across.
Malaguena Salerosa is probably the most memorable with spectacular vocals.

title: Great album, wrong poster

text: It did not. I was expecting the poster that matched the album. It was not the album poster. It's a nice poster, and the album was as described, hench the 2 stars, but the poster was not the one I was lead to believe I was getting.


title: MovieSoundTrack #1!!!!

text: Been a long time and coming to find this CD! From an old western starring Gregory Peck and so many more! Yeah, nice music! Especially the 2nd song THE WELCOME!

title: Great Album

text: In 2000 most Christian music was mediocre at best.  Still I found this CD and artist to be one of the outstanding and underrated pieces of music.  This young lady is mad brilliant and talented.  She didn't merely compose music about God, she has a depth of understanding and experience that makes this CD special.  There is also a track, You Deserved To Be Loved, that was featured in the movie "Sweet November".  God In The Box was also a big adult contemporary rock radio hit.  To say Im a fan would be an understatement.  Too bad the Christian music industry didn't take more notice of this young lady..

title: Older but still easy to listen to for Spanish students

text: Songs are love songs that are easy to follow for students even at level 1.  I provide some vocabulary for them and we listen to one song a week as a break from hard class exercises.  DVD also helps so students can see the faces as they pronounce the words.  I enjoy listening to songs that were popular in Spain when I did my doctoral dissertation research there.  But above all a great teaching tool.


title: Finally a Great Christmas CD

text: For the last few years I have searched for good Holiday Music to play during my annual Christmas Dinner Party.  I was not pleased with my finds.  I purchased Elliott's CD as soon as it came out and I can tell you that I am extremely pleased with it.  I love THIS CHRISTMAS and WARM ME UP, but there is not a bad song on the CD.  Elliott with his warm, rich voice puts a Brand New Sound to Old Tired Songs.  Get this CD Now as it is sure to become a Classic

I said in a recent review that it was a rarity that I would give the time of day to anything modern that did not fall within the melodic rock family. One band that immediately makes it through my filters though are hard rockers Skillet. I have been a big fan of these guys for years and they are an immediate purchase for me without ever hearing a single note of an album first. In fact I have seen them over 30 times live over the years. They are a modern rock band but have more than a modest amount of melodic rock flavorings in their music and their dynamic frontman, John Cooper, has often alluded to his love of 80’s rock, even performing things like Bon Jovi’s ‘I’ll Be There For You’ in concert.

I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting and speaking with these guys many many times over the years, going all the way back to before the band was known much at all. In fact the first time I met John was not long after the band’s debut album released in 1996. They are all some of the coolest folks out there. Even now, when they are huge and sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in modern rock music, they continue to stay humble and have never come across to me as feeling entitled for being the successful rock stars they are.

The first time I met Jen Ledger was during the ‘Comatose’ tour, right after she had joined the band. We met again a bit later when the band visited my home State of North Carolina’s State Fair. My wife and I came across her and, then Skillet guitarist, Ben Kasica, as they were strolling through the fairgrounds and they were kind enough to stop and chat with us. Since then I have met her a few more times and she could not be a nicer, more genuine human being.

All of this to say, when I heard that she was going to be releasing her first solo effort, I was on board right away, even though I figured there was going to be a strong chance it was not going to match with my taste in music.

So who is she? Well, English born Jen Ledger came to Skillet as a complete unknown to fans at the mere age of 18 and became an instant hit with the fans, quickly leaving her mark with her energetic drumming and her increasing amount of lead and backing vocals alongside Cooper.

Her first record with the band was 2009’s excellent ‘Awake’, one of my favorite albums from the band to date alongside their latest record, ‘Unleashed’ (the re-release of which made it as Melodic Music Review’s number one modern rock album of 2017. See my review of the original release here), and since that time John has, thankfully, continually written her more frequently into lead vocal parts.

I was not sure what to expect from this solo outing. Were we just in for a female version of Skillet or was Jen going to be able to step away from the band’s considerable shadow and let her own style shine through?

I knew without a doubt that the girl could sing, just listen to any of Skillet’s albums that she plays on and you will hear that. She has a beautiful voice and it blends amazingly well with John’s, but what was her solo style going to be like.

Well there are definitely some Skillet flavorings filtered throughout the record, but with Ledger, Jen has been able to stretch beyond that. So with a bit of Skillet, a bit of Flyleaf’s Lacey Sturm and her very own influence, Ledger manages to sound familiar and different at the same time.

First of all, this is definitely another album that is outside of my usual wheelhouse musically speaking, but with each spin of the disc I have enjoyed it more and more.

‘I’m Not Dead’ starts things off. This has a Flyleaf sound to it and this head banger is a great album opener.

‘Warrior’ is a heavy rocker that features John Cooper as a guest vocalist. This one has a definite Skillet sound to it.

‘Foreigner’ and ‘Bold’ are both great upbeat pop-rockers and are actually stronger then the first two tracks in my opinion.

‘Ruins’ is the song I was hoping for from the record. One to showcase the beautiful voice that Jen has. A lovely ballad with an exceptional vocal performance.

The EP ends with the hard rocking ‘Iconic’, another that has some definite Skillet influences to it.

There are elements to this EP that are far too modern for my taste but somehow it all works fantastically here and I love it.

Not my typical musical taste and certainly not my typical choice for a review here, but in my effort to try and add a few different things to the site, and the fact that I do quite like this, I thought I would give it a review and put it up for those who may be interested to see.

A terrific first taste of music from this young talent, produced in part by Korey Cooper, this is an infectious mix of modern hard rock and pop rock that is filled with hopeful, positive lyrics, this EP is one that fans of Skillet, Lacey Sturm and Flyleaf should definitely like.


title: If you like FREE, Bad Company

text: If you like FREE, Bad Company, or Paul Rodgers generally, you simply cannot go wrong with this dvd. Paul remains arguably the finest rock singer of all time, and is in quite excellent form here. Guest appearances abound, but in a good way! Yet squarely the attention lies on Rodgers, in terms of his palpable singing and rocking ability. Tremendous. Buy it.


title: These are uplifting songs that lift your spirit.

text: These songs I liked and couldn't find them anywhere else. They helped me to get out of a slump that I was in.


title: It was fantastic

text: Got here safe nothing was missing


I heard this as a record about 50 years ago at a music store in Boston. I was a teenager and the booth next to me was playing this record. It was at the time and still is now the most beautiful music I had ever heard. I shut off what ever I was listening to and followed the individual in the other booth around the store until I could see the cover of the album that they were playing, it was Coleman Hawkins "The Gilded Hawk", bought the album then and still have it - wanted it in cd form and Amazon came through! Bought two copies of it just so that I will always have this available.


title: Great CD

text: I am a fan of Russ Taff and this CD has a great collection of some of his best songs!  It is even better than I expected.


title: Original Version Two Disc Set (Japanese Version)

text: Just to be clear, the Japanese version of this (with the brown cover art) is a two disc set. This is different from the single disc version that was originally released in the USA, and is also different from the Rock Candy version that is the re-release of this double live album. This is the one you want, if it is available.


title: Hollow summary full of fluff

text: I did not realize this was a summary when I purchased it. It is about 7 pages of overview which reads more like a "buy the book" pitch. I found very little meaningful info in this ebook and would have done as well to read "Mary had a little lamb". Maybe the full edition is better.


title: No Booklet

text: CDs in good shape.


title: Awesome praise & worship CD!

text: If you want a CD with awesome praise & worship music, then this is the one for you!  Terrific music, lyrics, and vocals!


title: The King is Real

text: Great!!!


title: One Star

text: shipping delayed. Intervention required


title: Nice songs!

text: Got it quickly!  Great movie, loved the music!


title: Time travel

text: I ordered this album because it was recorded around the time I first saw Pink Floyd, long before the huge venues and floating pigs and epic spectacle that their concerts later became. Just 4 guys doing something very different. The sound quality is very good and it really takes me back. If you are a long time Pink Floyd fan then this would be a great addition to your library. The live Atom Heart Mother with the brass ensemble and choir is outstanding. That's something I never saw live. Pretty dang majestic. Beautiful really. Very glad to have found this.


title: Their best album, from probably the best British thrash band.

text: Brilliant, and way ahead of its time. May have been a bunch of loons live, but they were serious about the music, and this contains some of the best stuff they ever did. Thoughtful Sleep is my favourite tune of theirs, and the whole album is great. Sounds fantastic too.


title: Five Stars

text: Great Artist A+++


Great cd.  Nice choices by Wynonna as influences.


title: Perfect!!

text: Great price and a great product


title: A Slightly Different Curve Each Time, Just Like All the Math Says!

text: A great addition to my office collection, right next to my Magic 8-Ball from SPSS that tells me whether to reject the null hypothesis (vendor swag from years back). I was worried that, for the cost, this wouldn't actually do much, but it works as advertised, and you get a slightly different normal curve each time. It's a great little toy when you can't make sense of the !@*$* data someone foisted upon you, and you need something mindless to do for a few minutes. Five stars, easy.

title: Great Memories

text: The prompt sending of this set was wonderful.  My 96 year old father-in-law is living with us and this was a gift for him.  We have been enjoying the memories that these melodies have brought him.  Priceless...  Thank you for your prompt sending and great prices.

title: amazing record

text: Trent Reznor and company has done it again, with this beautiful EP by his new band How To Destroy Angels. Is a must have for all NIN fans!


title: not what i expected

text: as a baltimore native, i heard about these guys through the radio, and their radio hit(and first track) "the funkadelicatessien" made me want want to buy this album, if you're into instrumental blues/hard rock this is the perfect album for you, oh, and to end the questions, "La Chanson Du Chat" means "Year of the Cat"


title: Great, But Was Damaged

text: [[VIDEOID:bfa5a8ea58d2a878d37162a52b412edb]] The CD works fine. Everything else was nice as well, only thing is the CD was slight damaged. Even tho I bought it ‘new’. But it’s not that deep, only minor scratches that my bf probably won’t even notice lol 😂


title: It's a jungle in here

Food For Animals represent the outer fringes of rap music. BELLY contains some of the best hybridization of rap and glitch/electronic/IDM styles I have yet to hear thus far. If you can imagine Mouse On Mars' harsher material with a hip-hop bent to it then I think you'll have a good starting reference in imagining what BELLY sounds like. It's too twisted for mainstream radio, but deserves wider attention.

FFA's two MCs, Hy & Vulture V, offer some interesting rhymes to chew over without becoming too mired in abstractness, and considering the chaotic backdrops that DJ Ricky Rabbit lays down, their words flow quite fluidly in step with the beats. "Belly Kids" sounds like it was built up from pure static feedback. "You Right" features a clattering drum loop that adds turbulence behind Hy and Vulture V's digitally altered voices. "Virgogo" and "Troubles" are completely disposable, but "Shhhy" and "Swampy (Summer Jam)" offer some welcome bounce to the noisy clattering of some of the more extreme tracks.

I'm not sure why this CD has become such a rare item, as it wasn't released too long ago. MP3 files are available [[ASIN:B0013AUYTS here]], but the digipac CD has some sharp graphic design and a cool band pic inside. Those wanting to hear rap music's boundaries being pushed further outward should do themselves a favor and get BELLY now.


Super fast shipping and the product arrived in great condition. I was afraid the cups would break since they are glass. This is one of Ayu's worst albums frankly. All the tracks are great on their own but the styles are so different from one another that the album as a whole doesn't flow well together. For example if I put my ipod in shuffle and the different tracks come up they are great but if you try to listen to the whole album from beginning to end it's just a mess.Still it's a fun release and the special goodies are great not to mention the amazing dvd's. The performances are just great. Ayu has always put together the most amazing live performances.

When Nine Inch Nails released their 2002 live album And All That Could Have Been it came with a bonus CD entitled Still, containing deconstructed alternate takes of well known songs and original instrumentals. Regarded by NIN fans as one of the band's best recordings, listeners were left coveting another album in the Still style. Six years later fans were blindsided by the entirely unpublicized  Ghosts I-IV, a series of EPs recorded in secret and released to an unsuspecting public in the midst of an ostensible off season for Trent Reznor and his various assistants.

Effectively the spiritual sequel to Still, Ghosts is dark, evocative and somehow lyrical in spite of its lack of vocals. While none of the songs have names, which makes referencing individual tracks difficult, suffice to say that the record is an astoundingly disparate one. Each of Ghosts' songs has its own distinct feel and elicits a different emotional response. Some are moody and atmospheric while others are unsettling exercises in high-tension instrumentation; some are like aural embraces in their sweet, comforting melodies while others tap into a primal aggression through their vitriolic machine noise.

Additionally, Reznor and co. should be commended  for opting to alternate the eclectic tracks rather than allocating the heavier songs for one disc and the textured, atmospheric work for the other. The sense of not knowing what to expect next contributes much to the unique experience of listening to Ghosts.

Although not quite on the same tier as The Fragile or The Downward Spiral, Ghosts is far more than a stop-gap record between proper albums. Unique, evocative and distinctly NIN, Ghosts I-IV serves well as a score for reading, writing, and personal reflection.


title: The Spook's strongest effort ever

text:
The Spook are a horror-themed punk rock band from Germany, and one of the best kept secrets in the genre. Forget The Other and Calabrese (horrid vocals from those bands), The Spook's Dean Roca has all the swagger of Danzig mixed with the sleaze of Lux Interior. Let There Be Dark picks up 5 years later where Some Like It Dead left off. I'll be honest, I didnt think much of Some Like It Dead when it came out. So I was wary about giving Let There Be Dark a chance. I'm glad I did because it is arguably the best horror rock album to come out of Europe...ever! If you like bands like Bliztkid, I would get this because Goolsby and TB from Blitzkid sing on here (summernite Stalker & Dying Fire's Grace). Songs like SLide In, Dark World Debutante, and Cold Heart rock heavy and make you want to listen over and over. The sheer lush production of this album blows their last effort out of the water. The buzzsaw riffs, the thumping bass and hard hitting drums are in your face on Let There Be Dark. I was surprised by this record and I think you will be too. It is truly a unique record in the genre. One listen and you will understand. A must have from Fiend Force.

Also see Blitzkid, the new leaders of the genre!


title: The NIN albums that's just..."there".

text: Agree with the other reviewer. There is not a new thing here. NIN's music used to be more emotive and varied when there were longer gaps between released. The Slip is a great rock record, but the same lyrics, riffs and song structures are here that you heard on Ghosts, Year Zero, and With Teeth. Not a bad thing, but I wont preach about how amazing it is...not this time. Echoplex is a great track. Love the beat. This album is almost more minimal than a lot of the tracks on Ghosts. Am I the only one who has heard Trent say "I can't stop myself" and "on my hands and knees" one too many times? Get it if you have all the others because it is still a good record. Just don't expect change.


title: A bit archaic compared to the first album, however...

text: ...It still has it's moments. The Wreckard is more guitar-oriented than the self-titled record, which was more industrial in nature. While I still think the self-titled record is the best as far as song-writing quality and instrumentation is concerned, The Wreckard does have a cool sound of its own. Its a very aggressive and noisy record with some songs amounting to nothing more than white noise. I think Kevin was going for a disjointed feel while making this album, because its not a catchy record and you'll need to listen to it several times before you hear the melodies, which are buried beneath the chaos. I think the first half of the album is the best, especially The Cat is Wet, which is a totally insane song. I paid too much for this album, but I'm still glad I bought it. It's definitely nice to see the transition between the two records as they are like night and day. If you can get your hands on this album and have the extra money, its worth the purchase.


title: No cohesion...

text: ...Which is my only complaint with this record. I pre-ordered the whole thing over a month ago and got the free download. After a month of digesting, I must say that this really is not as musically redeeming as other NIN albums, and thats not because of the lack of vocals. I've always loved NIN since the Broken days and I think every album up to this one was great in its own way. To me, each track on Ghosts seems like an incomplete musical idea. As soon as one track starts to build and get interesting, it ends. Other tracks are just looped sound effects with no real variation. More than anything, this album is a fantastic showcase of electronic sound effects. I think its really cool the types of sounds Trent has made with his electronical synths and moogs, and other various toys. Ghosts really shows you what you are capable of doing with todays modern electronic musical equipment. Sadly, as a NIN album it failed to hold my attention, even as background music. I think if Trent were to take the strongest tracks here and have them fully realized into songs, then it would really feel like a new NIN album. This is an experimental effort only. But a cool one. Needless to say, I don't think its worth the $300 dollars (now $600 on ebay) for the special Ed with the Vinyl records. Bottom line, definitely get this if you are a NIN fan at all because it is a fun listen and there are cool sounds on here. Just beware, as the songs don't tend to go anywhere. Have fun.


title: This band is awesome....and fast as hell!

text: I dont care about the similarities to The Misfits...I dont think they sound like the Misfits either. Mike Mansfield's vocals are much more strange and original. The material is all here too...they werent a very stable band and didnt last long but what they did make is now classic. Its all "Long Lost" music considering that all the songs were on vinyl or on nothing at all. Its punk rock N roll for sure...but very fast at times. The lyrics are fairly good too. The packaging for this cd is awesome. It has picture collages of the band, live shots, Gig posters and artwork, all lyrics, and even a detailed written history of the band by band members! Best songs are Monster Madness(of course), Nestle Baby Killer, Crimson Carrie, and thier last one ever Foolish Grief. If you are an old school punk rock fan you should get this, b/c its old school punk rock! Overall a very good, almost forgotten band. But I remember them and I like them!


title: Shake your booty

text: If you are having a dance party put this on and the place will be jumping. Has a disco bass beat running through every song. Infectious!


title: A gem

text: This album is quite good. Yes comparisons to Jimi are inevitable,just as Jimi was compared to Arthur Lee.<br />Just listen to the music,don't compare and enjoy.


title: It's not Marillion but good.

text: First of all buy the cd at the Fish website,under $20.00. Of the 4 Fish cd's I have heard this is the most consistent and I really like it.


title: Worth every penny

text: This set includes both outings with Jack Mcduff and one with The Oscar Petterson trio and one with Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis The jazz is swing based and gets your feet tapping. You can't go wrong with this purchase,Sonny Stitt is the man.


title: As usual great sound from Mosiac.

text: Really filled with some great jazz,Hodges is truly on of the great Sax players out there. One thing though this does not have Back to Back or Side by Side with Duke Ellington which were small group recordings on Verve. The booklet says the tapes were not available.


title: Good selection of songs.

text: This a great retrospective of Budgie and the sound quality is superb. Budgie is one of those bands that has been over looked. Sad. This band kicks ass,some great guitar riffs.


title: Local at its very best

text: I must say when I was dragged to my first Breedlove show I had no idea what I was getting into. Hardly anyone was in the room and it was acoustic. I was blown away. Every time they came to town I was there, even shows not  in town. I met the band- really nice guys- even Dan the lead singer who  left to become a model(I'm bitter). This is one band that never got its  well deserved 15 minutes of fame. Reasons to buy: Tyron Vaughn (yes- hes  related) kicks it out, Dan's voice is a gift, Jasons drums rock ,Josh's  bass and Ezra's piano level out a sound that will make you wish they hadn't  broken up. Music so good it'll make you want to move to Austin.


title: Roots

text: This is heavy, heavy roots with all the trimmings -  crushing bass lines, super tight drumming and percussion, horns that are dreader than dread, and some killer organ work.  The only criticism I have is that several of the songs suffer from popping issues and the like - transferred from vinyl, but they didn't do that great of a job on a couple of the songs.  Totally worth it though - there is a lot of dynamic range on this one.


title: Avoid the CD version - very hard to listen to

text: Worst production/engineering I have heard in a long time.  Things are very off with the cd version.  3 songs are twice as loud as the others, and of those others, some songs have a grotesque instrument level imbalance.  Somebody violated this one - avoid.  Confirmed this problem is standard by contacting a major distributor - they were disappointed too.


title: Nice Veggies Natty

text:
What have you been farming Earl...  maybe killer drum and bass, or maybe supreme production techniques?  Maybe you have been cultivating something else...  like a voice that is as smooth as silk, or maybe satisfying dub enhancements?  Forget the maybes - a definite yes to all of the above.  Earl has been reaping fields hard for our benefit. This is a Must Own with a welcome retro feel.  So smooth. Do yourself a favor, and buy this immediately.

Please praise Jah and give thanks for his only begotten son Jesus Christ.  Peace.


title: A Glorious Melee

text:
Supreme ! ! ! A hard core behemoth - Creative, distinctive, and relentless with a disjointed and killer stylized flow.  Drottnar has truly developed their own flavor of rhythm, and it is good.  Chaotic and, at times, seemingly unending guitar licks take truly unusual paths. Dynamic and frenzied beats run rampant. Just when you think you have figured it out, the whole thing changes tempo. Did I mention the vocals - they positively reek of insubordination and are a sublime blend of tone, register and delivery. This is not just a cold experiment in style with no soul or meaning. This is totally captivating and is a metal masterpiece. Do yourself a favor and get a copy.

Please praise Jehovah and give thanks for Jesus Christ.


title: This & Trafalgar Square

text:
This is one of the best reggae releases of all time. Don't make a sad mistake and miss this one. Pablo's voice is Awesome with a capital A. He has a totally effortless flow through the haunting and addictive compositions.  Lyrics paint vivid pictures and are arranged in a flawless style that never seems awkward or contrived.  The bass is very present and absolutely fills the room with a full, rich and warm sound. Drums bubble in a strong style with excellent flair. All instrumentation is top notch and is very purposeful and heart felt. The sound achieved here is sorely lacking in todays reggae scene (as far as I know that is).  I believe this is a release out of England from the 80's - it definitely has that vibe, and is an absolute must buy for all reggae lovers.  The songs in the version I have are all extended mixes. Pablo has extreme talent and it is truly captured on this release as well as Trafalgar Square.

Please praise Jehovah and give thanks for Jesus Christ.  Jah bless.


title: The Early Years

text:
Of the seemingly endless number of Marc Bolan and T.Rex collections out there, this one is just about the best as far as covering the early years up to and including Electric Warrior.  Here we get a good overvue of  Bolan's metamorphasis from mystical, Tolkien-obsessed hippie, through the  genesis of T.Rex as an electric hit-maker.  Definitely 5 stars for any  Bolanite. Maybe 4 stars for the casual listener, depending on how much you  buy into the somewhat esoteric folkie-bongo stuff.
Tracks 1-13 focus  heavily on the first 4 acoustic albums, highlighted by Bolan's first  single, "Debora."  There is also the re-make of "Cat  Black", with the lyrics changed to fit the mythical motifs of early  Tyrannasaurus Rex.
Once you hit track 14, you start to get into the  transformation with Bolan shedding the hippie schtick and returning to his  roots with electricity.  Here we have the first electric T.Rex song,  "King of the Rumbling Spires."  Also present are the 2 singles  that lifted T.Rex from cult status to stardom: "Ride a White  Swan" and "Hot Love" - the first and second in a long string  of hits that kicked off Bolan's incredible run on the UK charts.  And, for  those who don't own Electric Warrior (shame on you), you get "Cosmic  Dancer", "Jeepster" and the obligatory "Get It  On."
But for Bolan aficionados, the special treat here is the final  track, "The Children of Rarn Suite" - just a sketch of what would  have been Bolan's most ambitious project.  Culled from old demo tapes with  some light accompaniment added by long-time T.Rex producer Tony Visconti,  this was Bolan's great unfinished work.  Recorded at the peak of his power,  arounded the time of Electric Warrior, this 15-minute-plus opus details an  ancient, mystical, Tolkien-esque civilization of "Dworns" and  "Lithons."  Unfortunately the project got burried amid the  avalanche of T.Rex stardom, but Bolan had great plans for "The  Children of Rarn", including an animated film.  So sit back, put on  the headphones, and imagine what might have been...

title: semi-back to the roots and bright perspective of future

text:
I remember I became a Nitzer Ebb fan when they released Big Hit back in 1995. I like that album, even though it's true it was a departure from their usual style. Anyway, when I read they were going to release a new album after 15 years of silence, I was afraid. I instantly thought of Front 242's return album 'Pulse', which, although has its moments (some really really fine) is a bit lame.
When I first listened to some snippets from two new songs, I was even more afraid they were not going to make it. Too retro they sounded to my ears.

But (here comes the but) Industrial Complex was finally released, and since Nitzer Ebb has been among my 5 favourite bands ever, they deserved attention: so I listened to it, and listened to it again, and again, and again...and I can't say but favourable words about it.

It's not a groundbreaking album, that's for sure. It's nearer a back to the past album than rather a back to the future, but that doesn't imply it doesn't add up anything interesting. It actually slaps on their face on those bands which I won't mention that are copying once and again Nitzer Ebb's schemes. One thing is to be inspired by, and another to copy every single detail of a band. Well, at least, that means Nitzer Ebb, which anyway also were inspired by DAF, created a personal hallmark.
So how does the album sound? It has all the ingredients you'd expect from Nitzer Ebb: heavy basslines looped mesmerising you while the beats and obviously McCarthy's powerful but also melodic voice drives you by the hand through that loop. That has always worked and I can assure you it works now.
It's true that Nitzer Ebb evolved from their chant-style in That Total Age to the more melodic EBM in Ebbhead; well all those elements are present in Industrial Complex.
There's not a bad song here, but obviously every one of us will have our favourite. To me, the more average songs are I Don't Know You and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, although That Total Age fans will love the latter; it could fit perfectly in that album.
The rest are very good songs, some very bass-oriented in a somewhat Belief-style, such as Promises or Down on Your Knees; some are a bit more funky and bluesy in a somewhat Showtime-style, such as Never Known or Travelling; ther are some quieter moments and believe me they work perfectly: songs like Going Away, which have no beats at all but a splendid bass drive us throughout all the song and I'm Undone with its somewhat dissonant piano melody are really delicious; and there are also noisier moments, such as Payroll and more melodic ones such as Once You Say or Hit You Back. What you won't find is guitars here. All's electronic, with some piano sounds in a couple of songs.

Really, I'm no fanboy. I don't like what a band do simply because of their name. And I agree this album is not very risky since they decided to walk on grounds they know well. But man, what they do they do it fantastically. I for one am very happy for their return and I hope they will release new albums in the future.


title: excellent work by tha man...

text: i started listening to sasha after his works and collaborations with BT...this cd set is excellent...BT's "fibonacci sequence" is the perfect track to kick off the 2nd cd which is more trance material...also  of note are sasha's own "xpander," BT's "mercury and  solace," and bedrock's "heaven scent" all of which are  classic trance anthems in my mind...the only reason i didn't give it 5  stars is because i didn't care for the first disc as much...i would also  recommend picking up sasha's "xpander" EP or BT's "movement  in still life" if you dig this set...


title: From Good singer to Easy listening Singer...

text:
I was fan of a powerpop-rock pop singer called MARIA BARRACUDA, SHE RELEASED 2 unsuccesful albums which are really great !
I thought that she realized that she did not was a profitable product, even when she sold herself as a mexican rocker girl, so years later she back with the same producer of her two rock-pop albums and incredibly the realesed this album.

What can i say ? I really like a lot of music styles, even pop off course but this disc is really awful, like a bad copy of Belanova (another cheap electropop band), the songs are silly, the sound are really modern...if they were released in 1980.

It is really sad that very talented people, like this man and woman that were important part of the poor and almost inexistent rock space in México have decided to make this kind of music..
Maybe they really like this new style or maybe they just have to eat as us and as every person who works and lives but.... this disc is not really good

I have to say that i really like them as persons and even musicans but i do not like this album, if you a re trying to find good electropop ten try with most commercial albums from Goldfrapp or even Fey but do not waist money on this.


title: A very mature and well produced sophomore release ...

text:
... that sacrifices almost everything that made Nite Jewel so appealing in the first place.

I read in a past interview Gonzalez say she wanted to focus on the vocals more in her next release and that's where this fails miserably.

The appeal Nite Jewel had for me wasn't necessarily in the murky '80s lo-fi ethereal sound of her music - which I loved - but in her mysterious indecipherable Liz Fraser-esque vocals and curiously vague lyrics - when I could understand them.

"One Second of Love" is the album where Gonzalez is saying "I'm a singer!" and she isn't bad.  It's just that a lot of the overall appeal of the music is now gone -  especially on the slow tracks which are the worst offenders here.  I would have loved it if she muddied up those vocals, reverbed them out a little and then push them into the background.

I'm all for artists growing and experimenting with their sound with each release but now the very thing that made Nite Jewel so cool is missing here.  Making awesome music is her forte but having her vocals front, center and crystal clear isn't. I found it better when the vocals were an actual element in the overall sound.

The title track really is the best song and a smart choice for the first single.  Yet after repeated listens it's the only track that I remember.

If you're a fan of her first album "Good Evening" or her ep releases, especially "Want You Back", then you may be disappointed.

3 stars for the title track alone.  If you're a huge fan of Nite Jewel (which I still am - Ramona I'll see you at the Crocodile) then it would serve you well to check out Maria Minerva too.


title: Should Be A 4.5 Star, But I Just Can't

text:
I rarely give Ep's five stars anymore. Most are just too short to be considered worthy of the rating. But when I finally saw Skycamefalling's final EP available on Amazon, I knew that no rating except this would be suitable. If you're familiar with the name Skycamefalling, then I'm sure you already know that they were one of the most talented bands to come out of the new emotional hardcore scene which starting taking off around 1999. They were easily one of the most innovative (for their time) groups the genre has ever seen. In 2003 the band decided to part ways, but not before unleashing one eponymous final ep, this self-titled effort, on the public. And it's a shame that this was their final output as these two songs were easily the most creative and outstanding songs the band ever wrote. Alas another band that came to pass long before their time, but Skycamefalling does not deserve to be forgotten.

Although this final self-titled only contains two songs, this is an essential purchase to anyone who has even the slightest interest in this band. Like I said, these are probably the two best songs Skycamefalling ever wrote. It feels like a really cruel joke for the band to have given us this EP, and then simple disbanded, but in the end you have to ask yourself, would you have rather never heard these songs? I guarantee that you answered that question with a No. I'm the same way. Although it's disappointing listening to this and thinking that their next full length could have sounded like this, I simply love these two songs. First of all Cameron's backing vocals are brought to the front of the music (although they were done beautifully on the self-titled, where they had a haunting effect, having them equally important as Chris's screams is wonderful) and the vocals of Cameron and Chris are almost equally balanced. It seems that this is almost always the downfall of all melodic hardcore bands who feature two vocalists, because it eventually becomes lopsided in one's favor. However Skycamefalling gave the impression they were fully capable of using (and using well I might add) both of their vocalists. John and Cameron's guitar playing was outstanding, and they utilize everything from their shattering, dissonant guitar chords that were prominent on "10.21" to a lot of subtle melody and soft sections. Although there's no piano on the disc, there is a beautiful acoustic section in the middle of "The Elephant Graveyard," something which is hard to accomplish. The rhythm section (which was completely different this time around), is just as impressive as their predecessors. The bass is very prominent during the soft sections and accents the mood, and the drums carry the rhythm of both songs fully, whether they're crashing or molding calm passages. All this combined (the beautiful lyrics, the wonderful vocals and the crushing instrumentation) easily set Skycamefalling well above your standard emotional hardcore band.

I cannot say enough good things about these two final songs. Skycamefalling were one of my personal favorite hardcore band's of the early 00's and it is such a shame that they never made anymore music. I know most fans like myself are still hoping for a reunion in the future, but the possibilities seem very unlikely. In any case this self titled EP, along with "10.21" and "To Forever Embrace The Sun" all deserve places in your cd collection. Quite possibly one of the two best bands who arose from this movement, it's important to not forget them now that they are gone. Hopefully by listening to this, you won't.


title: Heartfelt good-time music that resonates long after it is heard no more

text: I first heard this while living with my older brother and hobnobbing with his crowd in 1975.  I bought it for $4.00 the other day at Wax Trax in Denver.  I put it on the turntable for the first time in 45 years and could still sing the chorus of "The Wonderful Soup Stone" word for word.  That should tell you something.  And I sing it whenever I make a hearty homemade soup.  Hey, I own a lot of great music, country, jazz, New Wave, punk I'm an equal opportunity offender.  But these guys were so much fun and had so much energy that you remember them, even if they aren't rock n' roll icons.  And Shel Silverstein could write funny, memorable tunes that were brought to life by Doctor Hook.  "Monterey Jack" is just a hilarious, 90 second dumpster fire clown show, and you can't get the lyrics out of your mind.  Some other reviewer here cast aspersions on their musicianship, but I've heard dobro and trombones on this LP, try that all you thumbsucker rappers who can't play an instrument of any kind.  You cannot hear this LP and not be in a good mood, or just plain laugh along with the songs, which counts for a lot in my book.  And some of the ballads are really first rate, like, "You Ain't Got the Right."


title: You won’t be disappointed. Buy it.

text: What can I say that hasn’t all ready been said about the legend that is Tony Bennett. Buy these CD’s. You won’t be disappointed.


title: Great music

text: I happened on David Gray music by chance and fell in love with his music. Hope he has more albums.


title: Probably not really worth what you pay for

text:
The description clearly tells you what this is.  Steven Wilson took what wasn't included on the CD "On the Sunday of Life" from his first two tapes and made this CD.  I suppose for those fans who just have to have EVERY SINGLE note that SW has played - this is a must have and that is why it is priced where it is (upwards of $200 on Ebay).

It has a similar feel to OTSOL - maybe a bit more experimental.  The influences of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma are present at times (Daughter's In Excess has an energy much like like the middle part of Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun).  No Reason To Live - No Reason To Die is somewhat similar to Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape.

Probably OTSOL is enough of this for most fans.  This is probably a good candidate for borrowing it from your fanatical friend who has a copy - giving it a listen or two - and then probably forgetting about it.  Since SW has already gotten his money out of this (chosing not to make more then 2500 copies available) asking for a copy shouldn't be a huge sin.  SW would rather his fans be able to hear this music than not hear it because of the inflated prices.

The quality is pretty good.  I would call the version of Radioactive Toy a demo version - without the punch of the re-recorded version that ended up on OTSOL.

I normally don't write album reviews - but since there wasn't one for this - thought I would try to help out.  Maybe this will save you some $$$ - or maybe inspire you to spend a LOT.  :-)

text: I remember this from the 80's, Dr. Schuller had a wonderful and enthusiastic way of describing how to create and use a positive state of mind. 30 years later I was hungry to hear his message again to refresh my attitude.


title: Wonderful music!

text: Wonderful music!


title: Virtuoso + Melody + Eclecticism = Excellent!!

text: Tony Levin is one of rock's greatest living bass players. On this record,  he collaborates with musicians from around the world, showcasing his  ability to blend with other musical styles while still making musical  statements of his own. He also plays a lot of Stick, the electronic  guitar/bass hybrid he made famous.<br />Many of the musicians Levin plays with  are  people he got to know through his work with Peter Gabriel. So there is  a real "world music" vibe to this instrumental record. It's one  of those rare albums that is intellectually and artistically challenging,  yet does not punish the listener. It is warm, cerebral, and  pleasurable.  It will appeal to listeners of all genres, and really open their minds and  ears.

title: The essential Christmas album

text: As a philosophy student at Stanford, I saw the Stanford Chamber Chorale live, and I will never miss another performance if I can help it. Some of the most crystalline voices, rich in texture, and complemented by the acoustics of the Stanford Memorial Chapel. Dr. Sano has poured his life This album is essential for any home at Christmas time.


title: Make it available for others, Amazon.

text:
Why this is currently unavailable, I've got no idea. It shouldn't be. I got a digital copy of this - not from Amazon.

It's a great album. J.J. Jackson still has the voice, and the backing band and vocals are great as well. Everything fits just right.

Highly recommend - if you can find it somewhere!


title: Favorite

text: Touching words. Moving tunes.  You'll want to listen again and again.


title: Simply awesome

text: If you are a fan of Death in June, or Les Joyaux De La Princesse, especially their collaboration on "Ostenbraun", then you will love Die Weisse rose. I dont know if Amazon will ever offer it again, but if they do, buy it immediately, you wont be sorry.


title: Weird and soncially delicious

text: I am a fan of Coph Nia's earlier work and had forgotten to obtain this when I heard it was out.  The album has the same atmospheric music that I have grown to love, and it also has the occultish sort of poetic stuff that I loved so much on "Shapeshifter" - the cover songs are weird - in a VERY good way, so good, in fact, that when I play them to friends the appreciation is immediate.  This album would probably sell well if more people knew about it.


title: A Travellin' Man

text:
If you love Irish music, you'll love this one.
Its got some tunes that'll make you laugh and its
great to sing along with.  This is a good one to have
in the car on a long trip.


title: A Diamond in the Rough

text: I picked up this album thinking it was something else...and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be!  I've listened to this labum over and over again since last summer when I bought it.  Baiyewu's superb vocal  talents and Tucker's lyrical skills come together in this album to produce  some of the best pop-soul/R&B tracks you'll hear on either side of the  Atlantic.  This just the perfect sort of album that you can play no matter  what mood you're in, catchy, mellow, fresh...all of these words describe  the songs on this album, do yourself a favor and snatch it up now.


title: Five Stars

text: great artist loved the music


title: A  quality progressive metal album

text: At first listen this album sounds like a bit of a Dreamtheater rip-off, but it isn't really. More of a straight forward prog metal approach is applied here and it also shifts into an almost Skid row(Slave to the grind  era) hard rock sound on tracks such as "In the picture" and  "Slaves of the desert", although of course accompanied by  keyboards. The Dreamtheater sound I mentioned earlier certainly present in  some of the keyboard lines, although it dosen't feature as many complex  instrumental sections that seem to put some people off the mighty  Dreamtheater. There are also no instrumental only tracks. The only ballad,  the title track, is probably the low point of the album, but still isn't a  bad song.<br />In summing up, this is your typical progessive metal album, but  done better than most.  Most of the tracks are of a reasonably high  standard and it features one of the best/worst intro tracks I have heard.


title: GREAT SAMPLER OF MOZART'S CONTEMPORARIES.

text: You will end up buying the individual Chandos CD's after hearing this.<br />All of them are highly recommended for Haydn, as well as Beethoven lovers.

title: Great band that should have been huge

text: We enjoyed every second of following, taping, and hanging out with this Lancaster, PA-based band in the 90s. They were truly special and individual members remain active. The name of this CD is "Greener." I don't know where "Friends of a Professional Juggler" came from. Anyway, thank goodness they recorded this collection, and others, of their wonderfully creative and engaging songs.


title: Awesome Soul/Funk Music !

text: Great music from a Great Group one of the pioneers of Funk/Soul music. Being from my home state OHIO ,we were very familiar with ‘Slave’ coming from The City of Dayton Ohio, also the hone of Roger Troutman and Zapp.  Slave had a distinctive sound with Heavy bass grooves in the pocket drums and guitar solos along with ‘Steve Arrington’s interesting vocals  . If you are familiar with the Midwest sound this is a great cd. With Steve Arrington’s song and also ‘Aurra’ with my favorite’Are You Single’ you can here that familiar bass sound in their music. This is a must for Fans of ‘Slave’ ,Steve Arrington and Aurra fans.
