title: A jewel. Splendid renditions of the great Catherine Macintosh and Alison Bury.

text: Another excellent, beautiful account of the famous Orchestra of the Age of Enlightment. If you appreciate and love Baroque Music played on period or authentic instruments, this cd will be one of your choices. For me (and millions, fortunately), there is nothing in baroque music as good as the TaffelMusik Orchestra, the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields one, and then this one, the Enlightment one. All of them have done wonderful, masterful works. As did the cool Hogwood with his Academy of Ancient Music. In this case, this BBC/Lynn good recording allows us to enjoy fabulous interpretations of the best Baroque repertoire. As a Corelli and a two flutes Vivaldi Concerts, or a Haendel Sonata and the less known Castrucci Concerto Grosso or the Stradella Sonata di viole. Just great renditions with the stellar show up of the fantastic Catherine Macintosh and the Alison Bury ones, at violins. We find too the Susan Sheppard splendid cello and Paul Nicholson at harpsichord. All in all, this Orchestra sets another landmark of good taste and sensitivity in Baroque as they already did, with their praised Bach interpretations. It is Baroque Music as I understand has to be played, free of any effectism or exaggerated gimmick manners. Faithful and playfully vivid though sober too. Go to Italians or elsewhere if you're looking for candy sweet or tricky radiance. Am always getting aside of all that. Anyway, if you dare to enter in the world of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightment, you will have your ears and head open to a different and harrowing world. The one of all these period Orchestras nowadays considered, I think, the bests of the world. Or among them. A whole new universe in the great Music. Go on and discover it. You'll never want any others.


title: His Fifth Piano Concert with Ozawa is a masterwork.

text: Liked specially his 3rd. Piano Concert. But recognise that his 5th. with Ozawa is a masterwork. Eschenbach sober piano shines all along both works so I would say the cd is a worthy to have one. With his Mozart piano concerts and his Mozart piano sonatas think it's the best Eschenbach did. Well recorded. A great pianist, no doubt.


title: Fantastic pianist. A set full of treasures.

text: Magaloff ( a Chopin sort of cannon), Weissenberg ( "darker and stronger Nocturnes",  as was said ) , Vassary ( a singular, precious trend) Freire... All of them very good accounts of the Chopin works. But Shebanova is top notch. Somehow, she goes beyond it all. She had one of the most beautiful pianos I've ever heard. This is a harrowing survey.  Full of an excellent lot of performances, it makes a whole with plenty of treasures. Fascinating. Shebanova will catch you since the mere beginning. She should be much better known, for is better than many others considered great. Her artistry and sensitivity delivers a world of a ravaging beauty. Was not astonished reading her pupils told that her magister classes were works of Art. Not astonished neither about the several important competitions she won.  Am afraid she died too soon and was promoted less than she should, too. It all makes her a cult interpreter. Her Chopin Nocturnes maybe with the Huangci ones, the best you can hear. Can only complain that the set is ordered according with the Opus, what makes it impossible to hear the Nocturnes, for instance, one after the other. As we have the habit. But aside that, the performances border perfection. Sensitivity and an outstanding technique couples in masterful renditions . The power of her touch, her clarity and the ability to make the melody always prevail, makes the box a masterwork compound. This is a Chopin one can't miss, if like me, you are a lover of these melodies. Her Fantasie Impromptu, her Fantasie in F Minor, her Ballad nr. 1 or her Nocturnes give testimony of what am saying.  Although not too well known, she was already a piano goddess. A pianist for pianists, but for everyone who wants to enter in her sonic paradise, also. She is unique.  A cool artist, one you will never get tired of. It is all very well recorded, as such an excellent pianist deserves. If the rest she recorded has the quality of her Chopin, she is one of the greatest pianists of the past century. Am sure you will love every single note she plays. Warmly recommend Tatiana Shebanova.


title: Beautiful Rousset rendition.

text: Only the Kuijken account can compete with this excellent Rousset performance. And they are quite different, so recommend to have both. A very interesting work too, what Rousset and Montanari do here. Brilliant.


title: Remarkable Prokofiev piano transcriptions.

text: What Tacchino does with Prokofiev piano transcriptions deserves to be heard. Very good record, indeed. His sense of rhythm when playing Prokofiev's percutant piano is something remarkable, hard to forget. Love this record. His Romeo and Juliet is an unforgettable, very pleasant experience. Am one of those who think Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella are with his Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Piano Sonatas his best, so if think same, get this. Very, very good.


title: Romantically different. Excellent playing.

text: This recording of the unfairly almost forgotten amazing Scriabin Mazurkas is the one I like most. Although having a light dance air, this youth pieces speak about the somehow visionary Scriabin character. Because I really think the whole make a quite hallucinatory world of exquisite sound. Scriabin's decadent universe just previous to Russian Revolution appears here with a singular preciousism. These marvelous and complicated (with plenty of arpeggios and not easy to play) works should not be discarded as too romantic. For they are something else, too. Being Scriabin as he was, a rare bird, these works speak low of the vanishing world he was in when he composed them. He said he used to live with the Chopin works under the pillow when he wrote them (so much he admired Chopin at those days), but these are very different from any of the Chopin works. Although there is that romantic feeling, the poetry these pieces deliver is a bit those of poisoned flowers. Is a private and enchanting whole world one never gets tired of being in. An addictive universe. Get in, it deserves people like us.


title: Happiest music on earth

text: I was searching for a CD of Ray Budzilek music for a while and came across this "double" CD. One of the recordings was live, the other a studio album. As soon as I played it, I was taken back to the sounds of one of the best polka bands ever-Ray Budzilek and his Cleveland All Stars. My family and I attended dances and events while he was alive, and there was no other band like this band. The Million Dollar Polka Sound is a fantastic album and all the songs, from "Unita" Polka through "Julida", "Don't Get Married", "Polka Medley", etc, are classic examples of Polish-American music at its finest. You cannot listen to this music and feel depressed. There are duplicate songs from each album, but that is a minor complaint--it's the music that is so dynamic. If you are unfamiliar with Polish music, or you want to experience the joy, buy this CD.


title: Awesome Praise --Pure Joy!

text: No kidding: Brenton Brown's Everlasting God rocked our world --  Every conceivable thing you want to say, do and feel in prayer and praise is all here.  (Adoration by Brenton Brown accomplishes this also.)  A worthy way to adore our most worthy God, we're most thankful for Brown's talent on loan from HIM!


title: "Ship of Fools" one of Plant's best songs.

text: One of Robert Plant's best albums. Purchased this to replace an old cassette that I literally wore out.

title: One of the Few Male Crooners Worth our While

text:
The complete album name is My Funny Valentine, the Chet Baker Songbook. Below is a listing of the cuts (playing time: 48 minutes):

1. My Funny Valentine (with Arturo Sandoval) (4:55)
2. Time After Time (with Arturo Sandoval) (4:24)
3. Angel Eyes (3:53)
4. Embraceable You (with Emilie-Claire Barlow) (4:20)
5. Come Rain Or Come Shine (4:11)
6. Deep In A Dream (4:06)
7. All The Way (4:10)
8. There Will Never Be Another You (3:21)
9. That Old Feeling (3:23)
10. Let's Get Lost (with Arturo Sandoval) (3:35)
11. Someone To Watch Over Me (4:25)
12. I Fall In Love Too Easily (with Ryan Ahlwardt) (3:08)

A confident, easy album by a singer who feels no need to impress with key shifts or volume. And it's exactly as the name suggests - a collection of standards sung in the Chet Baker easy-going style. You won't be blown away by re-imagined, updated versions of songs we all have on numerous other CD's.

But as a practical matter, there are so few young male jazz singers today worth even a second listening. We need to support the few that are even able to issue an album like My Funny Valentine. Would this album merit a 4 star in the heyday of Frank Sinatra? - you'll have to decide that yourself. But in 2014 . . .


title: Five Stars

text: My favorite Go To album.


title: Andreas best work in years, almost a second greatest hits package on its own.

text: His best work in years, reimagined to be "Perfect".


title: very good cd from bill miller

text: most tracks were very familiar to me, yet the version of "Ghostdance" was quite different from the one i knew. worth the price of the cd just for that track.


title: Help From Unseen Sources

text: Listening to and following the guidance of this CD is like entering a different world. I have worked with my own spirit guides for years, so was not new to the experience of meeting and having a conversation with entities from seemingly another dimension. But the ease and speed with which I was able to do it, and meet new guides, with this CD was a big surprise. We don't know exactly what the nature of our spirit guides are, but it is clear to me that they are a source of guidance that have been around for as long as humanity has populated our planet. Until recently, getting a guide has been a lost art. This CD is important in that it can bring the tradition back into our lives and into our culture. I think that anyone on a spiritual path and into the mystical should have this CD in their library..


title: Great cd

text: The cd is great. I’m starting to get into Disturbed and am slowly collecting their catalog. However every cd I get from Amazon is cracked. Every single one !


title: Edith Piaf, says it all. Her voice thrills the soul

text: Received recording and it is as advertised. Don’t know what happened to my old one. This covers all the big Edith Piaf tunes and even the couple I was not familiar with she makes memorable.  CD sound quality is good.


title: Great dream-pop CD with stellar vocals!

text: It's such a shame that music like this never has the promotional backing to reach a wider audience! Michelle Poppleton's voice is truly that of a siren, with incredible range and femininity, going from sultry to angelic and back aqain. The guitar work is adequate enough to accompany Michelle's vocals, and at times has a psychedelic atmosphere. Although production quality is obviously not big-budget, the songs are in no way cheesy. The instrumentation has almost a 'live' sound to it, but Michelle's vocals sound as big-production as any, often layered to harmonize with herself. The energetic opening track "Time Can't Have Me" is spectacular, and a showcase for the talent of this gifted singer. I read somewhere that she is now working in an office (as is the very talented Karin Oliver, former singer with His Name Is Alive). With all the crap being shoveled out of the record studios these days, it's hard to take that vocalists of this caliber have to pursue other careers because there isn't a major record label promoting them. Anyway, even though this CD has been out of print for many years, it is still fairly readily available...and well worth owning!

title: One CD made to look like a larger order.

text: It’s one CD. The photo makes it appear like something larger. What is the reason behind this.


title: Performance Lacking

text: I have liked the trio playing of this leader and looked forward to this recording. But was disappointed with this cd. The ensemble playing was not as good as it could have been. I can only hope Fabiano's next effort will be better.


title: Excellent Mompou

text: Although the recording is not ideal for this composer the interpretation is worth experiencing. Although there are many other recordings this one bears listening to for a slightly different idea of the composer.


title: TRANSPORTED

text: Listening to these songs I was transported to another time, another place.  Can you imagine music that is soothing and hummable and lyrics that are intelligent and literate?  Once again I'm forever grateful to Stage Door Records for producing another fantastic collection.  It would appear that more in this series are on the way and I welcome any and all additions.  What a great pleasure!

text: sometimes--rarely, a book comes along that you hate to have end.  This is proving to be one of them.  I am not yet finished but very wrapped up in the life and times of this young man.  I think it is on every book club list even tho' it is an investment in time due to the length of the book.  A great read !


The orchestra does an excellent job playing all three pieces. No complaints at all there. But the sound quality isn't as good as I'm used to (I have a very good sound system). But I'm still glad I got the CD.

text: There is no one like Napoleon Hill. He has distilled and organized the principles that have animated the great achievers in American history up to his day and made them available to us. Rooted in the Bible and based on Christianity, his philosophy of real success and achievement has inspired thousands of people to spend their precious moments on earth in hope and fruitful endeavor. Just what our country needs right now. I find it very uplifting

title: Beautiful album!

This album has been in my family for over fifty years! My father (who never won anything in his life) and I were Christmas shopping on Van Nuys Boulevard when a young man approached us and handed my father an envelope. He and I had been randomly selected as winners of a Christmas album from Wallach's Music City! This was the album we won.

It has been played every Christmas since that first one. And, even though my father is no longer with us, he is remembered and his spirit evoked every year when we play this album on Christmas morning to celebrate his favorite holiday!

Of course, the collection of carols and their arrangements are lovely, joyful, and peace-full. Simply beautiful. :)

title: CELEBRANDO 40 Anos VOUMEN 2 (8 CDS)

text: I choose this rating because "Raphael deserved it. I have followed his music for the last forty years, and his music is romantic, easy to listened, and his voice has a lot of passion carrying each and every song in these collection. Some of his music it's from other Spanish  musicians (Like Jose Luis Perales, and composers Manuel Alejandro, but he carries his music to the finest tones and emotions. I strongly recommend these collection to people that likes soft, romantic music.


title: Raphael canta Los exitos de su Pelicula "Al Ponerse El Sol"

text: Este album es una colleccion de lo mejor del "Monstruo de la cancion de Espana. De la mejor epoca para  ser romanticos. Su juventud hizo y hace temblar los sentidos con su voz tan varonil y sensual. No importa que edad tienes te hace vibrar en lo mas profundo de tu ser.


title: 40 Exitos de Raphael

text: Esta es un suma de los exitos mas famosos y buenos de este  cantante Espanol, que tien una voz fuera de lo comun y todas  estas canciones llegan al alma, para los romanticos y nobles  de corazon.

title: Great Soundtrack!

text: I was so happy to finally find a copy of the MTV Wuthering Heights soundtrack! I have looked for it for several years.


title: Above Average

text: Only 2 songs with Al Jarreau, but good jazz album overall. Double Face is a great AJ tune, the epitome of his talent and style.


title: Will not play on all DVD players.

text: WARNING! Does not play on my Acura's DVD player. It will not decode the disc. I have yet to try my home DVDS player.


title: Repeat Songs

text: Had all the songs already but seller was very nice about the return


title: Not to be missed

text: Burl Ives' down home approach to each song makes it special. Add to that his voice which is as smooth as a river on a still spring day and this is truly magical. Many people today probably have heard his voice in that Christmas cartoon they run each holiday, but they may not know how lovely it is to listen to someone truly love the words and music and make it so easy to sing along. That's Burl Ives and he should not be lost.


title: Pure Randy Travis, home run.

text: I had lost my original Randy Travis from the 90's. I didn't pay attention that this new purchase was a two CD set doubling the delight. It's one of our new favorite CD.


title: A collection of hymns given the soft delicate touch of William Joseph

text:
Pianist William Joseph under the tutelage of world renowned David Foster released two stellar albums that were criminally overlooked by the general public. The killer b's of brilliant, bombastic and beautiful come to mind in an effort to describe both his debut album Within as well as the even more impressive follow up Beyond. His third release Be Still is a completely different road travelled, so if you are looking for his over the top performance, be prepared to be disappointed as brilliant and bombastic do not come to mind in describing this project. Nevertheless, beautiful and bewildering do as Joseph takes a much more reflective approach focusing on a collection of beloved hymns.

Obvious choices are the beloved hymns such as "Come Thou Fount", "Be Still My Soul", "How Great Thou Art" and "Amazing Grace", but it is wonderful to hear lesser known pieces such as the stunning "With Royal Praise" as well as the deep tones of "Jesus Once Of Humble Birth".  Both tracks completely focus on Joseph's piano work which is simply startling. In fact, the vast majority of the album is about the piano man though there are a couple of lightly embellished tracks featuring light strings such as the previously mentioned "Be Still My Soul", "I Know My Redeemer Lives" as well as the slow stirring self composed "I Rest In You".

While you certainly will need a completely new perspective to enjoy this delicate project, once that adjustment is made the listening experience is heavenly. The focus here is a much more reflective and somber performance in which Williams' acrobatic executions of the past are replaced with a gorgeous tender touch. So much, that Be Still will allow you to live out its title and permit you to retreat and find a quiet and peaceful place in a world full of fast fixes and immediate gratifications.


title: Mainly Piano MD

text:
For those of you still not familiar with pianist Brian Crain, he has been recording quality material since the mid 1990's. His past recordings have been largely tantalizing piano work embellished by synthesized based string arrangements. Recently, Crain has gone organic which has included 2005's fully orchestrated epic Spring Symphonies and prior to that the retrospective Brian Crain and the BC String Ensemble. Though Crain has continued the more warm and organic approach he decided to present his listeners with another retrospective recording along with a few surprises up his sleeve.

Unlike the Brian Crain and the BC String Ensemble which featured a quartet, Piano and Cello Duets features the elegant and classical cello renditions of YuJeong Lee alongside Brian's piano performances.  Of the fifteen tracks listed five of them are brand new compositions heard for the first time and that includes the opening track "Spring Waltz". The surreal and classical integration of the twosome appear to be a match made in heaven which replays itself via "One Morning In June".

In contrast, there is the more optimistic and buoyant piano work on "Rolling Clouds". This time around Brian goes it alone with a melody that is uplifting and hopeful. It is not only the album's most memorable moment but one of Brian's better compositions that overflows with joy and elation. Brian also performs solo by concluding the album with a tribute to fellow pianist Dax Johnson who died less than two years ago. Needless to say, the song is more reflective and tender paying a loving tribute to his fallen comrade.

The remaining balance of the tracks allows Brian to revisit his past with his new found musical friend. The most successful arrangements can be found on "Across The Bay", "A Walk In The Forest" and "Lavender Hills". The only minor glitch is that five of the ten retrospective tracks have already been revisited on the Brian Crain and the BC String Ensemble. Though some of these repetitions are some of Brian's finer moments, exploring alternative compositions that had not yet received a makeover would have made this stellar album even stronger.

That said, the minimal duplication is the only the only downside of Piano and Cello Duets. More importantly it also features five new compositions representing Crain in the present tense. As a result, this gorgeous album accommodates successfully as an introduction to new found fans and diehards alike.


title: This band rocks!

text:
After listening to this album numerous times, I have concluded that this symphonic band is one of the very best bands I have ever heard.  Smetana's Overture to the Bartered Bride begins with the woodwinds dominating the delightful opening theme.  The director has masterfully used two alto sax players whose unison solo passage pushes the listener deeper into the playful woodwind dervish as the piccolo dances on top of the entire frenzy.  The tension continues to build with low brass layered powerfully underneath the driving woodwinds until the finale crashes vigorously across the music hall.  Needless to say, this group of university students is quite possibly the best kept secret among symphonic bands.

And just to prove they are the real thing, the band shows their prowess as they introduce listeners to Philip Sparke's provokingly haunting Celebration.  Here is a smorgasbord of clashing woodwinds and brass punctuated by percussion exclamations enveloped by the very brilliantly exposed flute solos and augmented by muted trumpets announcing the oboe solo.  It doesn't get much better than this, folks!  This piece builds in fervor and intensity thoroughly mesmerizing the listener with a range of dynamics that flash across the stage in a rise and fall fashion until the annunciation of a potent finale engages the audience.  Then the strident, measured military measures force the complement of horns, winds and percussion to a climactic explosion of excitement.  Wow!

And the band will continue to keep you on the edge of your seat with superb renditions of Lincolnshire Posy, movements I-VI, Cadence, and the astonishing solo work of James Barger in Fantasia for Alto Saxophone.

I heartily recommend this CD to all music lovers and casual listeners of symphonic band music.  Buy this and you will not be disappointed!


title: Good old record

text: Rare find.  I had been searching for this vintage recording and glad I found it on Amazon.  When I was a child, this song held special meaning for a "Richard."


title: harp cds

text: The CD was purchased as a gift request for my son's birthday.  The harpist is a personal friend of ours and my son had just learned of the availability of a CD of her music.  It arrived in excellent condition and my son was thrilled and completely surprised (I guess he thought I would forget).

This is some of the best music of its era, should have sold millions. Fantastic vocals by the 3 Ruffin Brothers. Beautiful harmonies, and the musicianship is superb.<br />Some artists don't get their due until later in life. Buy this now and make these guys rich and famous!


title: Great record

text: Wonderful recording of the best jazz pianist we have, and Tony Bennett, the old pro.


title: Outstanding Outing

text:
In the Relics of Jeg-Sau, Benny crashlands on a failed colony world with two unusual inhabitants as well as robot and  a cache of valuable artifacts.

This is one of the better original Bernice Summerfield audio dramas. There's a decent mystery, although an attentive listener will be able to guess what's going on. However, the story features superb direction and a great performance from Lisa Bowerman that really allows her to show her range. The story ends with an appropriately ambiguous ending that makes this a gem in the rough of Bernice Summerfield's early seasons.


title: Forgettable Four-Parter

text:
Easily my least favorite of the four part Companion Chronicles and the Quadrigger Stoyn trilogy. I think both Lalla Ward and Juliet Landau did a nice job with what was given to them, however this story, while having some interesting moments and concepts, this just drug on for far too long with way too much padding. It's very tough to make Stoyn relatable and much harder to make him worth caring about.

Overall, this has some good moment, but just doesn't live up to its potential.


title: Not What I Expected But Works Well Enough

text:
The story about the Doctor and Susan's first adventures in the TARDIS answers some questions but leaves others unanswered. Carole Ann Ford sounded slightly disappointed by this fact in the post-episode interviews.

The most interesting thing is that the Doctor and Susan discover they aren't alone on the TARDIS as a Quadrigger was working on it when it was stolen. The three Gallifreyans are thrown to a moon being seeded with life near a planet called Earth.

It's a start of a trilogy, but it's a pretty standard Marc Platt story with some far-out concepts and the Doctor and Susan trying to extricate themselves from this situation and get adjusted to life in the TARDIS. While this isn't necessarily the story I expected, it still makes a solid listen.


title: A Solid Katy Manning Performance

text:
After the TARDIS arrives on a planet,  after a visit to the Wardrobe, Jo finds the Doctor has left the TARDIS collapsed leaving her alone in an eerie abandoned lab where something bad happened long ago.

This was one works from a technical end because it builds a great amount of suspense and discomfort as to what's going on with a story that's perfectly suited to the audio medium. Katy Manning delivers her typical brilliant performance, being able to bring life to each character she plays. Damian Lynch is also solid in his first Doctor Who role.

It could have cut down on the relistening to tapes motif, but even without it, it's still a very well-done  chilling tale.


title: Grand Finale

text:
The finale of Gallifrey's Second Series finds Romana's situation more perilous as foreign students are bombed on Gallifrey. As this is Gallifrey, multiple plans are all begin to move towards fruition as Romana takes a step she never imagined she'd have to.

Overall, this delivers a lot of twists and key revelations while setting the stage for Series 3. This one continues to surprise all the way to the end.


title: Setting the Stage for the Finale

text:
In the wake of the previous story, Romana finds herself more isolated than ever, with no one but Leela to trust, she turns to some dark sources for help. As a visiting instructor at the academy, Leela tries to maintain calm while seething with rage. Meanwhile, Darkel is putting pressure Romana, trying to break her presidency down slowly but surely.

At the same time, a group of friends at the Academy from various planets face the growing hatred and disgust from Galifreyans as Darkel tries to use them to oust Romana. They're story and how they get caught in the middle of the events on the Gallifrey is the most tragic part of the story.

There's a lot of plot threads, and only a couple come to a head in this episode. However, throughout the episode, it feels like there's a slow burn for most characters, and at the end, the stage is set for a finale where everything will come to a head. Overall, this is well-done character drama that sets the stage for the Series 2 finale.


title: Dark Mechanations

text:
While the K9s work to isolate Pandora in the Matrix, the typical Gallifrey machinations continue with Braxiatel renewing his request from the series opener to be appointed to Chancellor, and Inquisitor Darkel agreeing to it for her own reasons.

The political games are deep in this one and unfortunately, Castellan Wynter finds himself drawn into them in one of the most tragic turns of the series so far. I should also say this episode contains one of the most uncomfortable to listen to audio scenes where less details would have been far better than more.

Still, this works as pretty standard Gallifrey political drama.


title: Superb Character Piece

text:
After the series 1 and Lies, there's a major strain on the relationship between Romana and Leela, with Leela wanting to leave Gallifrey. However, Romana convinced Leela to join her at a Garden retreat that she's been required to undergo.

While there are brief moments with other characters to hint at the ongoing Capitol intrigues, this is mostly a great character piece that highlights Leela and Romana, and how they relate and we're given a chance to see that relationship in a new light. They even have a debate on the supernatural where both sides are actually portrayed in a very balanced way.

The story takes an intriguing turn when a horribly disfigured TimeLord arrives in a TARDIS that stillborn on
Gallifrey. It makes for an intriguing mystery but doesn't detract from the character work.

The only off thing about the story is a b plot involving the desk clerk. It's not awful, but it is a bit of a pointless distraction.

At the end of Spirit, we not only know these two women better, but their course for the rest of the series is set as well.


title: A Flawed Release But Hints of Interesting Things Ahead for Series 2

text:
The second series of Gallifrey starts off rather slow with, "Lies." Thee's a lot of exposition and rehashing of what happened in the previous season and in between seasons. We're seemingly introduced to the season's big villain who faces a much too easy defeat.

However, while it's a bit rough at the start, Lies still has a lot to commend it. We're teased with many tantalizing plot points, and there are some good character moments. Sean Carlsen's Narvin continues to be the most interesting character in the series. In addition, we get Mary Tamm's Big Finish premier as Romana.

Overall, while this is a somewhat uneven beginning Lies serves as a nice preview of what's to come in Series 2.


title: Downing Street Pseudo Historical

text:
The TARDIS lands in an attic and when the Doctor, Steven, and Vicky go to explorer they get lost in the seemingly endless rooms before discovering that they're in 10 Downing Street, the home of the British Prime Minister.

Overall, this was a well-acted piece that's a bit of a pseudo-historical that explores some problems with 10 Downing Street and the bad end met by man of its occupants and offers a typical Doctor Who explanation while poking fun at the British class system.


title: The Master's Plan

text:
Captain Ruth Matheson and Sergeant Charlie Sato return to interrogate, the most dangerous item in the UNIT vault, The Master and to demand how he came to Earth to be found by UNIT in the first place.

This is a well-told with solid performances by all, though Geoffrey Beevers' master dominates as he clearly has his own agenda even while seemingly in an inferior position. It's entertaining and takes full advantage of three actors being involved as Ashbrook and Tso play parts in the Master's flashbacks giving this a bit of an ensemble feel.

Overall, a strong start to the Eight Series of the Companion Chronicles.


title: Historical Twist

text: The Doctor, Ian, Susan, and Barbara decide to spend an extended amount of time taking in the ill-fated library of Alexandria. Once again, William Russell stars in a  solidly written well-researched historical. The emotional beats of the story aren't great, but the plot works well. There's a lot of conflict information about what happened to the Library of Alexandria, and this story takes a very interesting approach for a first Doctor story. Overall, it's definitely worth a listen.


title: Insight on Audio 7th Doctor Companion Team

text:
his short trip is unusual as it not only features a total of four voices (a male actor appears in an uncredited role.) However, it's an important short trip as it gives us a chance to observe how Sally Morgan and Lysandra Aristedes work together as the fulfill the Doctor's missions for them.

This story is important as Lysandra disappears in the first half and Sally runs into Lysandra's younger self. It's a good time travel story with quite a few twists along the way as to what's being dealt with. Through much of the story, Sally is the dominant voice, but at the end changes with Lysandra not only being key to the resolution but coming to some realizations about herself. Overall, this is a solid episode that provides some key insights for this TARDIS crew.


title: Solid Historical

text:
A solid historical that finds the First Doctor and TARDIS crew dropped into Spain during the Inquisition and just before the time the Spanish Armanda went to war with England.

As is usual, writer Marc Platt does superb historical research, capturing the horror of the era in all its ugliness. Ian is put through the ringer. In the first half, he faces the Inquisition and the second half a rush to meet his childhood hero, Sir Francis Drake. There are also nice hints of the evolving relationship between Ian and Barbara. The Doctor has some great moment in this, showing both his wiliness as well as his potential to be cantankerous and determined to teach the two School teachers a lesson in the dangers of changing history. But there's a surprise outcome to this as well as a shocking reveal of one character's identity.

I do this could have better, a tad shorter, at three parts rather than four. Still, this was a very interesting listen.


title: A Dalek Story with a Few Twists

text:
The Sixth Doctor and Constance land on Sterlin, a planet that isn't supposed to have any technology and run into a galactic census assessor and his assistant as they're looking into a mysterious signal. Together they arrive at a monastery where all is not as it should.

Overall, this is a solid Dalek story. It takes a while to get going, but it manages to tell a solid story with several twists on the old Dalek story formula. The story has a strong ending and is very entertaining except for an overly long first episode.


title: Dark But Thought Provoking

text:
The Doctor and Mel arrive on a planet where violence has been eliminated thanks to citizens agreeing to be implanted with microchips but nevertheless a series of brutal murders are being committed.

This story is dark, and at times terrifying. This is one of Sylvester McCoy's most quietly creepy performances. At the same time, there are many big ideas at the core of this story. It's an eerie and thought provoking tale that's well worth multiple listens.


title: More Wildthyme

text:
The third series of Iris Wildthyme stories collects three different audio dramas featuring Iris WIldthyme and Panda. Here's a breakdown of the stories:

The Iris Wildthyme Appreciation Society: Series 3 kicks off with Panda dealing with Iris has become a big demanding celebrity on the Planet Tull. It quickly becomes clear that all is not right with everyone's favorite transtemporial adventuress.

Overall, this story is an enjoyable premier episode. It pokes fun at body switching stories, reality, fandom, and even Marvel's Silver Surfer. As always, Katy Manning turns in a solid performance with a script that requires her to play Iris as a couple different characters.

Iris RIdes Out: This story takes on the supernatural detective story as Iris' bus lands at Mocata Grange through a hole in the Universe. This has some very funny moments. I particularly loved the scene where they poked fun at science fiction attempts to explain "magic" as science and we also have characters breaking the fourth wall. Marcus Hutton has a very good performance playing the role of Supernatural detective with the perfect mix of seriousness and comedic timing.

The Midwinter Murders: Uris arrives in the village of Midwinter where she runs into old flame and a series of unsolved murders. There are some funny bits in this story such as Panda's interrogation. The story seems to be a play on the hit TV series, "The Midsummer Murders," may appreciate this even more.

This doesn't quite have the "pop" of other Iris stories and feels like it went on too long, given the amount of story and gags in it. The ending which resolves the story arc in a way that is confusing without being amusing.

The stories remain solid and Katy Manning turns in a good performance, however parents should be aware that Iris is a bit more naughty than in Series 2.


title: A Wild Thyme with Jo Grant

text:
Elixir of Doom finds Iris Wildthyme and Jo travelling back in time to the Golden Age of Hollywood where they find that many of the movie monsters are real and famed Hollywood starlet Vita Monet.

There are two things that are absolutely great about this story. First is Katy Manning. As in Find and Replace, she plays an older Jo and she plays Iris. She also plays Vita Monet as a real character with a very good American Hollywood accent. She also shows her ability to somehow manage to capture the essence of yet another Doctor with whom she hadn't appeared.

The sound design is superb. It captures the feel of the Golden Age of Hollywood, particularly during the Party. This has that beautiful feel of so many of the later Companion Chronicles which transcended the idea of "talking books" to become great experiences.

The story itself was typical Paul Magrs fare, not quite on the level of , "Find and Replace" but a quirky and fun story that plays around with ideas, language, and settings. Jo comes off as nice, though maybe a bit naive for her age.

On the downside, the Doctor that appears on the cover isn't the Doctor that appears in the story. Some fans may be bothered by Iris statement that she can't regenerate and isn't a Time Lord given that we saw a future regeneration of her in, "The Wormery." But with Iris it's hard to tell when she's lying or when she's merely shading the truth. At any rate, fans will have to work out how they feel about that "twist" for themselves.


title: I Think It's Going to be A Long, Long Time

text:
Return of the Rocket Men is a sequel both to the original Rocket Men story as well as to Steven Taylor's prior Companion Chronicles. However, neither are required listening to enjoy this.

Return of the Rocket Men is a marvelously narrated action story with Peter Purves providing some superb voice acting and one of the most vivid and rich audio soundscapes that really made the story come alive.

Steven is a wonderful hero and Purves creates one of the best First Doctor voices of all the companions.

Compared to the previous Rocket Men story, this is at the same level. The linear storytelling in this one made for a more interesting ending. I did find Ian's emotional journey in the prior story a tad more compelling and tangible (although Stephen's wasn't bad and may be preferred by those who have followed his prior Companion Chronicles.) I also didn't like that the hero is saved by a slightly modified version of a cliche.

Still, this is a fantastic adventure with time travel, paradoxes, heroes and battles with men with rocket packs. A very fun story.


title: Caroline John's Marvelous Swan Song

text:
This is a great talking book told as a series of conversations and letters between Liz Shaw and her never-mentioned before Mother. Several people are found dead and letters are in their pocket indicating that they've been warned of their pending doom. Writer James Goss dips deeply into the well of Season 7 Doctor Who to come up with a lovely science fiction scenario that explains the letters and how they're tied to the Armageddon Clock.

This is Caroline John's last performance before of any kind before  her death and a great performance it was. Rowena Cooper makes this story perfect as the feisty and fun Dame Emily Shaw. Also, the cliffhanger at the end of the Part One was one of the best I've heard in the Companion Chronicles.

This is simply marvelous and now one of my favorite Companion Chronicles. The only sad part for me was the final interview where Mrs. John talked about wanting to do more but sadly, she wouldn't even live to see it released.


title: Ian in Another Museum

text:
An older Ian Chesterton awakes to find himself in the Chesterton exhibit of the Time Museum. He's been grabbed out of time and awakened by the curator and told they have to run as creatures are prepared to feed on his memories. Ian runs through the museum and finds himself reliving all of his adventures with the Doctor including Lost Stories. The stories become jumbled and he begins to lose them.

Unlike most other Companion Chronicles, this is one of three two handers featuring no narration as Ian and the curator run through the museum from the monsters. Both pull it off well and there's a great deal of suspense as well as a nice touch of nostalgia. The one thing I didn't like is Goss' dialogue which almost has Ian thinking the Doctor was right to try to kill the caveman in the first story which is disconcerting. However, that aside, this was very interesting and well-told tale and it's always a delight to hear William Russell reprising the role of Ian.


title: Excellent Performances

text: I love the interpretations on the style and especially enjoyed the notes included. The concertos are especially interesting as each one shows the  increase in the range of the piano as it is developed. The 4th concerto is different as it diverts from the form established by Mozart and Hayden: the first movement begins with the piano. All the other concertos begin with the orchestra<br />introducing the theme for the first movement. Delightful!


title: wonderful music!

text: Love this CD!! One of his best!


title: A keeper.

text: Although the first section (agni) was focused on 109 fustration push ups, the stretching and other poses in between sets of 12 push ups were just enough to allow for recovery.  Normally, 109 of them would seem completely unattainable to me... yet with this format I was able to do it.  I am feeling it today!  The core portion was good. Shiva allows for lots of time to flow and move arms and legs while pulling the pelvis and shoulders up, I personally would have prefered more instruction or specific poses or flow sequences.  Nonetheless, I do feel as if my core did get a decent work out.  I do plan on keeping this in my work out DVD rotation, and look forward to my next session.

title: Great Album

text: This is a Great Album, but really the only reason I bought this cd if for the Song "The Beauty of the Lord".  Also, the song "I am free" I hear quite often on the radio as well as "the beauty of the lord".  This album is worth the buy just for those 2 songs. However, the entire is wonderful..I suggest it to anyone who would like a great worship album to listen to.

title: This is one record from a two record 'joke' release by Slayer.

text:
from the following site:[...]

This rather strange double LP bootleg contains material from 1984, both live and rehearsal. It was limited to 500 copies, the first 25 containing a T-shirt. The strange thing about this release is one of the records is purposefully mislabeled as another 'band.' It reads, "Poverty Records, Buddy Love-Sings about Girls" and contains listings for 14 comical 'song' titles by this pseudo 'band.' This is obviously meant as a joke to confuse the buyer into believing the wrong record has been placed inside the sleeve. The other record label is blank, it is the first of the two and contains the live tracks from 'Alive and Undead sessions' : 'Evil has No Boundries* (misspelled),' 'Creator of Sin* (mislabeled, is actually 'Captor of Sin'),' 'Show no Mercy,' 'Black Magic,' 'Die by the Sword,' 'Aggresive Predator* (mislabeled, is actually 'Aggressive Perfector')' and 'The Antichrist.' The second 'Buddy Love'.record contains the following: 'Praise of Death,' 'Necropheliac,' 'Hell Awaits,' 'Kill Again' and 'Warlock ('Crypts of Eternity' Edit).'


title: Special

text: After countless times listening to Sasha's GU: San Fransisco set, I had put more expectations on this release than any other in memory.  His ability to induce one into a literal trance is just phenomenal.  With Ibiza  he transcended all expectations I had.  This is one of those mixes that you  want to save, so you don't "waste" it.  You want each listening experience  to be just as epic as the set itself.  This sounds preposterous and  clich`ed, but for me, it works.  CD 1 flows like a blackwater river: murky,  slow, yet smooth, with increasing inertia.  CD 2 starts with one of the  best breakbeat tracks if heard in a while: "Fibonacci Sequence".  This  track makes the CD.  Sasha showcases his mage-like skills right off.  You  can discern the next track being strategically placed in the background  after the first minute of the 10-minute roller coaster.  After 1 breaks  into 2, the remainder of the mix provides an hour of deep, melodic trance,  showcasing indeed the future of music.  Highly recommenced (as if you  didn't know this).


title: Elgar and LSO in top form

text: Duke Ellington is attributed with saying, "If it sounds good, it is good." And what sounds good to one person may not sound good to another. The point is, I enjoy this music. It is lovely, the LSO and chorus are wonderful, and Elgar is such a good composer and orchestrator. I give similar kudos to the CD containing The Black Knight and Scenes from the Bavarian Highlands.


title: The Suspense and Action Just Keep Getting Better.

text: A really excellent book with strong and powerful characters. Each with their own special strengths that added to the whole telling of a strong and entertaining story. The sequel picks up the power and strengths of Will Robbie.


title: OMOO( Oh My Old Ones) was it good! I loved this Story/Adventure and I wish that ...

text: OMOO( Oh My Old Ones) was it good! I loved this Story/Adventure and I wish that they, they being the HPLHS, would produce more of these Globetrottering campaigns done this way.  Frankly I have no one to play these adventures with so I get to experience them vicariously through this Wonderful ensemble group of actors.  Again, it was fantastic and I eagerly await more.  Thank you so much.


title: Great Irish songs by an Irish legend!

text: I discovered Big Tom McBride after a recent trip to Ireland when several people mentioned him since my surname is also McBride. This CD showcases his very rich, soothing voice as he sings some wonderful Irish country songs in his very personal style. I wish more of this CD were available since I would love to give them as gifts.


title: Love the music

text: I thought this was going to be a hard item to find. Love the music.


title: Great Live recording of rockin' musicians.

text: I saw these guys down in the FL panhandle in the summer of 2010 and have been following them since. This recording captures both the energy and the musicianship of the band. Great instrumentalists, great songs.  How they haven't gotten a wider audience I don't know. Purchase and enjoy!

title: Fun and engaging!

I was not familiar with this book, and had never heard an audiobook from the BBC Radio Collection before. So, I had a nice surprise waiting for me, with this three-CD audiobook. First of all, unlike most audiobooks that are read by a single person, this has an actual cast of several actors, who read the different "parts" of the book. Secondly, in typical old-fashioned radio show tradition, this storytelling was accompanied by a wide variety of sound effects and background noises, from bells ringing, to singing, to children laughing. Third, there was lots of dramatic music to accompany the scary/dramatic parts of the tale.

This is a story of a strong, independent young lady, and her work as a teacher, and the secrets of her heart. I quickly became engrossed in the story, and could not put it down. The writing is so beautiful and elegant.

The only negative was that this book is apparently adapted for the radio show, and somewhat abridged. I was a bit confused in a couple of places, because of that issue. I am on the fence between rating this production four or five stars. However, I enjoyed it so much that I will go with the five stars.

I think I need to find some more BBC Radio Production audiobooks. I love the format!


title: Relaxing Music for Baby and Parents

text: I used to play this nightly for our son while nursing him to sleep and then after weaning. The sounds of water gurgling and instrumental atmospheric music was soothing to us both. After damaging our CD and not being able to find a replacement, I used to hum the tunes to help him relax enough to fall asleep. Now that he's 10 I'm thrilled to have found this again and he still recognizes the tunes with a calm fondness.


title: Meh

text: Sounds like 1000 other albums with bubble gum lyrics and safe arrangements.

title: No Sophomore Slump Here!

text:
I purchased A Silent Film's debut album based on my undying love for their single "You Will Leave a Mark."  Although a few of the songs on that album lived up to the high standards set by the premiere single, the album as a whole was disappointing.

When I found out that Sand & Snow was out, I snatched it up in hopes that I'd get a least a few great tracks off it.

What we have here instead is an album that is brilliant from beginning to end.  Unlike its predecessor, Sand & Snow is strong, well-written, and infallibly composed.  The songwriting is top notch, and the overall sound is so much more unified and cohesive than the band's previous work.

In fact, Sand & Snow has managed to make it onto a very prestigious list of mine.  It is the list of albums which have NO TRACKS that I don't like.

Even though I love every single track on this album, some still ascend as standouts.  The opening song, "Reaching the Potential," really sets the tone for Sand & Snow.  The recording perfectly conveys what's in store for the listener, from the deceptively mellow opening, to the contemplative, philosophical, clever lyrics, to the driving beats that kick the song's mood into the rafters.

"Rustle of the Stars" is the album's most mellow tune, but is a standout if for no other reason than Robert Stevenson's incredible vocal work.  His control is enviable.  The song also offers a great break in the album for the listener.

The final two tracks on the album, "Love Takes a Wrecking Ball" and "Thousand Mile Race," are incredible compositions and close the album with perfection.

A Silent Film proves that not every band suffers from the dreaded sophomore slump.  If you're looking for a beautiful, upbeat album with great beats, thoughtful lyrics, and catchy melodies, Sand & Snow is the album for you.  It's a hidden gem in the sea of forgettable artists and albums.  Highly recommended.

title: Cueshe? Or Should I Say Cliche'....

text:
This album is so disappointing. If you really wanted to listen to good music you should look for albums from bands like Sugarfree, Bamboo, The Dawn, Kitchie Nadal, Barbie Almalbis (Barbie's Cradle/HYP), Imago, The Radioactive Sago Project, Cynthia Alexander and Wolfgang.

The band is a trying hard Creed/ The Calling sounding wannabe. yes, they have an advantage in posting or should I say selling the album Thru Amazon.com. But we are talking about quality... Cueshe doesnt have it. Two vocalists who doesnt have have any talent.

A disgrace to the Filipino Rock community.

Forget about this album buy The Dawn's "Harapin" instead.

text: I received a DVD as well as 2 CD's and there are no words to describe it, however, I will try; Passionate, Faithful, tremendous spiritual power. People in this society love anything supernatural but unless they diligently seek Jesus Christ and make Him their Lord and Savior, they will never really know supernatural power. Jason Upton obviously lives this way because his music in "Open up the Earth" demonstrates the true power of God, truth/love are feelings that I experienced while listening and watching the DVD. www Digital-Xpressions com


title: soulful the real deal

text: I really enjoyed the funky soulful poetry recited on this cd. It was easy to relate to. It was funny, playful and whitty. It has been a long time since I have felt like something was made for me. This cd spoke to the inner me. It is about things that have happened in my life time. Those who I admire and look up to, things that I'm proud of and things that I'm embarrassed by. All in all this is a great piece of art.


title: Beautiful!

title: Best Gospel Setting of the Exsultet EVER

text: There are many great arrangements on this album, including the title track. However, the gospel arrangement of the Exsultet -- the song sung exclusively at Easter Vigil predominantly in Catholic churches --is worth the price of the album. The combination of pipe organ and formal declaration "Rejoice heavenly powers!" and the Alto's declaration in a full-on gospel "recitative" "This is the hour, when Jesus Christ rose from the dead..." are a remarkable accomplishment. Leon Robert's last live album is worth a listen; this gem of both liturgical and gospel music died far too young.

From an era of great music that is so soothing to listen to.

Do not need to "remaster" (which is code for distorting the tones  offset by increasing the loudness ) this great music... leave it be


title: Possibly his best collection.

text: Enjoyed Jackson Browne's music and lyrics so many years ago when we all were young.  Re-discovering his genius today.  Very good album displaying the varied and wide range of his talent.


title: This CD is heartwarming,loving, lifting, and motivating!!

text: This stunning group of men make beautiful music. Hope to meet them in person some day. I put this CD on at the start of my day and I'm totally happy and motivated.

title: Not a score

text: I truly love Sword Art Online. The plots are brilliant, the acting exceptional and the drawing is phenomenal.  I especially love the music. Thus I was very happy to see, what I thought, was the release of the new season score. A perfectly natural assumption because the disc was in the score category. So, even though money is tight, I ordered it and today it arrived. Much to my disappointment, instead of being a score, it was a story in Japanese. Now, I expect the audio story to be quite good as I doubt anything Sword Online Art is bad, but I do not speak Japanese and as I stated; the CD was listed in the score section & not the audio book section. So I'm out $35 & S&H. Don't purchase unless you can speak the language.


title: Great Stories worthy of the Dr

text: I'll be honest, I was wary because no Dr. actor was involved but I was quite pleased to find my hesitation was misplaced. These stories are outstanding and by being narrated by former companions, with one exception, was great. Well worth the money to add to your collection.

title: One of my current favorites. Completely cool!

text: This is definately my favorite or the "unauthorized" KISS  collections. I don't have  them all yet, but I will eventually..<br />What can Isay,  KISS RULEZ!


title: Quality CD/Average Album

text: Product was exactly as listed and in excellent condition. I’m never sure about reviews for a piece of media like this. Am I reviewing the quality of the physical product or the media itself?<br />I’m splitting the difference here. I received exactly what I wanted in good time and at a fair price. The album itself is probably a 3-star affair. Starts off strong but sags towards the end before the last song (and hidden track).


title: Lou Reed’s best solo album

text: I had heard about this album for years before buying it. I should have gotten it sooner. The tracks “Walk on the Wild Side”, “Satellite of Love” and especially “Perfect Day” are worth the price alone.


title: Excellent product in all ways.

text: Product used for entertainment. I watched the series when it ran & I also have the complete DVD series. Have always enjoyed it.  rlw

title: great storytelling

text: I wish more people would know about the Zabbit story. Every child ought to read it. We  all love it.


title: A quick note of recommendation

text: The version of "Rag Bag" which appears on this album could be considered canonical of the classic Lindley performance of this song... it is a must have if you are a Lindley fan!.. or even just a fan of great music. I hope at the very least that the MP3s will be available for purchase sometime here in the near future.


title: Awesome album !!!

text: Love this cd awesome concert ! I was there


title: Poor Quality Vinyl

text: I have now purchased four copies of this album and, although the music is excellent, every copy has had serious problems with skipping.  I have tried buying it from all different vendors - Urban Outfitters, eBay, Amazon, etc.  All were new and in their original packaging / shrink wrap.  And yet every single one has skipped horribly!


title: Good music

text: This will be my third purchase for this item.  I keep ending up giving them away.  It probably won't be the last.


title: A great performer at his peak.

text:
This CD offers three live recordings, made in 1978, 1979 and 1981 by one of the best contemporary violinists; Viktor Trtyakov. Tretyakov was in his early thirties when these recordings were made and his technique had reached maturity. The first piece in this CD is the Beehtoven Romance for violin and orchestra No. 1. This is an interesting piece, not very widely available on CD and Tretyakov gives a very competent, polished, but rather unexciting performance.
Fortunately, there is a change of pace for the Paganini Violin concerto No.1, and it is for the better! Here, Tretyakov performs with the necessary bravura and with almost impeccable technique. A few slight imperfections are expected in a live performance and they do not detract from the great technical excellence of this performance. His interpretation is very full of emotion the tempi are dynamic and provide the listener with the requisite excitement that must imbibe a Paganini piece...and his flautato is fantastic! He does not shy from the more challenging passages (as do others) and gives a great performance: the cadenza is absolutely breathtaking, his pizzicato stands out. His style is not as technically perfect as Accardo's, but Tretyakov's playing is full of feeling, comes from the heart. It reminds me of Ricci for the great combination of masterly technique and heartfelt emotion. I would rank this recording of Paganini's Concerto No.1 among the five best available. By all means, if you are looking for technical perfection, listen to Accardo, but for passion, I would recommend Tretyakov!
After the tour-de-force of the Paganini piece, we are treated to a splendid performance of Glazunov's Violin Concerto. This is a very Russian piece: very romantic, with an enchanting first movement and a lively Allegro in the third movement that reminds me a little of the music of Respighi. Again, the pizzicato by Tretyakov is exceptional. Great music, performed with passion: impeccable and lovely.
The recordings have been competently remastered, the Glazunov sounding the best of the three. The orchestral accompanyment is competent, if rather uninspiring in the first two pieces, but more involving in the Glazunov.
This is a very satisfying disc: highly recommended.


title: Glen Campbell

text: Loved the album.


title: Great music. From around 1950 to 1962. With some earlier songs thrown in

text: Enjoyable music. Majority of his 50s/early 60s music is not available. Yes, some songs might be a tad rough, but overall it is really great music


title: Beautiful Christmas music

text: Beautiful music. 3 albums on 2 CDs. The first is all orchestral while the second has 2 full albums of singers and orchestra, pretty much like Ray Conniff singers. Really well made and pretty much classic Christmas music.


title: Great Music CD!

text: I searched for this CD...and finally found it on Amazon!😀 Great price too!<br />Baekhyun is my favorite Korean Singer🎤🎶This CD captures his beautiful voice exquisitely. Thank you Amazon!


title: Great

text: Got for a gift they loved it


title: Outstanding collection!

text: I love everything about this set of CDs and videos on DVD.  It is an amazing collection of songs from my past that I loved so much.  I am so glad that this collection was put together.  The 60's was the greatest generation for music.  If you liked the music of the 60's, you will love this collection.  Well worth every penny.  I just wish this collection was available earlier!!!

title: One for the Ages

text: This disc represents one of the very best performances by the Dead during their tour of Europe in '72. Starting with a warm up to a fevered pitch in the first set, to a band that was absolutely on fire in the second set, with one of the greatest Dark Star's the Dead has ever played in Europe or in the States. This is one great testament to the amazing musicians that the Dead were, and how their music has endured, and still sounds great 44 years later. Viva La France!


title: I love Nina Simone

text: I love Nina Simone. This was a warm record in good condition. The only thing I don't like are fake string sounds or produced sounds of instruments. Her voice sounded intimate.


title: A real gem

text: This is a single from an artist who should have done more and should be a star.  As for content it's heavy on remixed of the same track, but the track alone is an absolute gem for hip hop.  How this guy isn't a household name I do not know.<br />You need to hear this.


title: Satanika lives

text: Ok, so I've written a few reviews on Verotik comics, and fully confess to being an shameless Danzig fanboy.  So, I'll keep this short.  It's Satanika ya'll.  The flagship book from his comic imprint, and one of the best.  If you're famliar with Verotik at all, you know they're schlocky books on their best day, and this one is no different.  It's thin on plot, but long on amazing artwork.  It's an acquired taste, much like it's creator.


title: Extraordinary

text: I rarely give five stars. I would give six if I could.<br />This is glorious, peaceful and exalting music. It takes the breath away. The voices, the songs, the rendition, the recording quality - its all there. Hear it, and be soothed.


title: Surprising Treasure

text: I bought this CD as a large group of CD music discs on eBay a few years ago (no cases, no documentation).  It is by a band I had never heard of and I'm sure is now defunct.  The CD is now 20 years old.  But every time it come up in my rotation, I'm surprised at how much I enjoy it.  Not my usual type of music and hard to describe.  It reminds me a bit of Morphine, but without the prominent sax (though they do have horns).  I guess I would describe it as easy flowing, rock and roll lounge music.  Not sure the band would appreciate that label, but there you go.  Whatever it is, I enjoy listening to it and highly recommend it if you can find it.


title: Poisonous Who?

text: I have an extensive music collection which I play alphabetically so that I hear it all, at least occasionally.  Every once in awhile a CD will pop up and truly surprise me.  This is the case with this album.  I don't know who Poisonous Aluminum Badgers are and I don't even know where I got this CD.  What I do know is that it is an excellent CD.  Good songs, excellent musicianship, great vocals and surprisingly good production values.  By now, I assume this group has disbanded and gone on to others endeavors, but if they ever visit this site and read this review, I want them to know that they have a fan out there who really appreciated the effort they put into this release.


title: 10/10 would recommend

text: Ordered it for my daughter, she loved it. In perfect condition came just in time for her birthday


title: Unjustly forgotten, mysteriously vanished sorta-psychedelic grunge band

text:
This is an excellent CD. I happened upon it at an FYE clearance sale in a mall in early 2006. It sounds a lot like early Pearl Jam or Live or Sweet Oblivion-era Screaming Trees, in terms of vocals and instrumentals, but it's a little more funky, psychedelic, and improvisational. It's also very earthy, soulful, and spiritual. The singer has a rich, yearning baritone which perfectly suits his lyrics, and the gentle but ready-for-action guitars and primal bass surrounding his musings. Something about some of the slower songs reminds me of Tool as well. They have one other CD you can find on Amazon, called Subsuasion, which I didn't even know existed til I found it in a used CD store last year. That one's also very good. The band apparently broke up not long after releasing this fine pair of albums in the mid-90s. The only information I can find on them is here: [...] Also you can play many of their songs in their entirety here: [...] This CD is listed on Amazon as having been released in 1996, but the back of my CD says 1995, by the way.

There are other bands around with the same name now: a Canadian emo/punk band, and some acid/jazz/soul/funk/whatever ensemble, neither of whom I care about. This Chicago band, however, seems sadly lost to history. They are a prime example of the value of rummaging through used CD bins and giving a chance to something random and unknown you find which looks promising, a ritual increasingly becoming obsolete in our digital age. They had something original going on, a psychedlia-tinged grunge sound (maybe a bit like prog rock too), that could have led alt rock in interesting new directions. I guess Pearl Jam took up that mantle, though I'm not really familiar with their music after Vitalogy, so I could be wrong. This album did have a few songs I wasn't that into, which sounded a bit like generic bar band fare, but they're still listenable. My favorite tracks on this are Choke, 4 Track, Unyielding, Engine, and Vision. Pick this up if you've stumbled on this page somehow! It's only a few bucks and it's some really substantial, well-written, heartfelt music, of the kind that seems increasingly rare today. They don't sing about girls and parties and drugs, or about hate and destruction and adolescent rebellion, or about topical, ephemeral political stuff, or about twisted families, cheating girlfriends, childhood abuse, and whiny, blame-tossing/self-lacerating angst (a la the nu-metal bands of the past decade or so). Rather, they sing about introspection, reflection, hope, frustration, love, loss, confusion, and life's winding journeys. As such, there's a timeless feel about the music. Stylistically, there's something a little retro about it (e.g. the way some of the lyrics question life and society oddly remind me of 1960s protest songs, little acquainted though I am with that music), but they're very earnest and sincere, and sincerity is always original. This can get a little too lofty at times, true, but I am rather inclined to forgive them this and instead applaud their ambition. All in all, a sometimes uneven, but beautiful album.

Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs by them:

Vision (Track 7 on self-titled album)

(verse)

Man on a mission
Man with a vision
This man's decision deserves contemplation
No man's an island no man stands alone
Won't find your answers staring down at the ground

(chorus)

Speak of a world which I cannot see
Stop trying to share your hidden wisdom with me
Confused and innocent
Just trying to understand
There's never enough time to chase the shadows down

(verse)

You anchor me to the earth
I can feel you dragging me down
Think you know what life's about
Just because you've been around
Vent my frustration
Mental masturbation
Don't like the program you just change the station

(There's a part after this, not listed in the album's inserts, where it sounds like he's saying "Turn them away, turn them away" but I'm not sure. Then another chorus, and the end.)


title: botched attempt to cash in, mislabeled and misspellings

text:
I assumed that this was a collection from Bill Haley after the original Comets split to form The Jodimars, the distinction being BILL HALEY AND HIS COMETS as opposed to the latter BILL HALEY AND THE COMETS (with or without ampersands)

The tracks are mostly mislabeled, and there are TWO versions of ABC Boogie (with different guitar intros etc) (I will admit both versions are interesting)

There are some missing tracks:  "How Many?" and "The Saints Rock And Roll"

title: A Family Tradition

text: Our children and now grandchild have learned many wonderful Bible verses through GT and the Halo Express!  A great way to memorize Scripture through song and be able to recall the verses years later.


title: Best voice ever

text: Ishbel MacAskill is no longer with us which makes this recording even more cherished. Her clear, warm vocals are unmatched by any singer I have ever heard. This album is worth the price just for her version of "Darling Gregor," which is heartbreakingly beautiful.


title: Don't

text: Don't. The sound is so bad that the performances of these two people, who's music I love, is overshadowed.


title: Love it

text: Gift


title: Love them

text: I was skeptical because these can range from $21-$35 for one depending on where you buy them and what's included. These albums don't come with posters if that's important for you but for the price I don't mind as I already have plenty. They can in perfect condition, 10/10 if you don't want the posters.


title: Stan stayc

text: Its literally so cute! The concept is A+ along with the songs too. The only downside side that instead of two pcs this time there is one but no big deal. This time they made sticker sheet and everything is top quality. I pulled a Yoon pc and an Isa postcard. I'm a very happy costumer, it arrived early!


title: Must have for an Atiny.

text: What is not to love? I'm happy I finally completed my fever part 1 set.


title: Album intact, Poster a folded mess

text: Skip the poster add.  The album was completely fine, but what is even the point of paying for the poster when it is shipped folded up into a tiny, damaged rectangle!?  Completely unusable.  5 stars for the album alone, but 3 for the shipping choice this seller made with the poster.


title: Outstanding music

text: The Sing! Global cd is outstanding!  Quality is the Getty's trademark in music.


title: Awesome!

text: If you are a Buck Rogers fan than you will love the music because it brings back so many memories.


title: Long Day at EPCOT

text:
Near the end of a long day at Disney's EPCOT park my wife and I heard the sounds of bagpipes and rock music ahead. We got there in time for Off Kilter's last number for that set. We waited and came back for the next (7:30PM) show. They are awesome, not a word I use lightly. So much joy in their music. A must see and buy.

title: Good American music

text: I really like the Nadas.  Good, down to earth music from good, down to earth guys.  This album is with a new drummer and bassist, and features a lot of variety, from ballads to an excellent cover of Beast of Burden.  If you haven't listened to or seen the Nadas live,  you're missing out.


title: A New Song.

text: I really enjoy " A New Song " . It's got some great gospel songs.  His voice is amazing.  I look forward to another CD.


title: Very Good

text: I had been looking for this CD because of the title tune and was very pleased when i played it.


title: Great album

We ordered this for our mother, she was so pleased with it and so were we!

title: you don't know.

text: if you haven't listened to cyndi lauper since she bopped, you don't know cyndi. often dismissed by the media as the 1980s betty boop, lauper has had to struggle--like boy george and other serious 80s artists--to acheive the  recognition she deserves. while she's may not be there, yet, _sisters of  avalon_ is a remarkable album that proves that sisters are doing it for  themselves. on _sisters_, lauper explores the musical spectrum from world  beat to hard rock, all the while providing lyrics insightful and engaging  enough to make her a lilith fair sweetheart. my suggestion? get your head  out of the 80s; cyndi sure has.

title: A rare quality recording of a Gedda live recital

text:
Gedda did make a commercial recording of all of the Rachmaninoff songs on this recording (and then some), but it was only available on CD for a very short period of time and is now nearly impossible to find.  So this album may be the only way to hear some of these.  The songs represented here are generally performed by sopranos, but Gedda's versions of "In the silent night" and "It's beautiful here" are definitive.  The first Rachmaninoff song "Don't sing to me, maiden fair" ("Nye poi krasavitsa...") is incomplete, the entire first 2/3 is missing.  "To the children" is more of a recitative, but profoundly moving (obtain a translation) and "Christ is risen" I never heard before Gedda recorded it.  "Floods of Spring" is justly famous, having the power, brilliance, and virtuosity from the keyboard that one expects from Rachmaninoff, together with the operatic demands of a great tenor aria.  Gedda does it here with an exciting interpolated high Bb at the end.  The recording quality is generally excellent for a live recital.

Gedda's "Dichterliebe" is excellent, more in a romantic mold than the well-known Wunderlich version, which feels more classical in it's fastidious accuracy and faster tempi.

There are some fluffs throughout this recital, in skipping rests and forgetting words, but this is a live recital and it is actually a relief (as a classical singer myself) to know that as great an artist and musician as Gedda is capable of such mistakes.  In his encore piece, the "Romance of the Young Gypsy" from Rachmaninoff's Aleko, he "la la"'s his way through an entire phrase, even though this is one I've heard him sing flawlessly in three other live and studio versions.  This was a "Queen's Recital" in London -- Maybe he had some nerves.  Among singers, Gedda is revered as the ultimate stylist, at home in Mozart, Handel, French Opera, German Opera, and several other areas, fluent in Italian, German, French, Russian, and English.  It is just wonderful to have an opportunity to hear him one more time.


title: So happy!!

text: Such an amazing album and a great addition to my collection. I've been waiting years for them to reissue it on vinyl since the original pressings are so rare.


title: Beautiful Score

text: Jerry Goldsmith was a modern day musical genius of our time and generation.  This soundtrack (like all of his soundtracks) accompanies the film to perfection. The neo-noir style film has the right blend of jazz and orchestrated musical pieces. Track 4 “Jake and Evelyn” is a song that closely follows the theme from “Love Theme” and the Uan Rasey strong trumpet solo. Track 4 is also on the menu screen for the Blu-ray. “Noah Cross” is a musical score with what sounds like harps, chimes, and soft strings to give eerie musical cascades. The piano and trumpet are two of the strongest instruments throughout the score that create amazing soundscapes.  There are a few tunes from the era to include “Easy Living,” by Ralph Rainger and Leo Robin. The other two are “I Can’t Get Started” by Ira Gershwin and Vernon Duke and “The Way You Look Tonight” by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields. “Chinatown” and “Hoosiers” are my favorite two Goldsmith soundtracks.


title: Smooth and Articulate

text: This is by far one of the best electronica albums I’ve heard in a while. It stands out with its well-written melodies and beats interwoven together to make smooth music. Capsize, Neighborhood, Comfortable with Failure are some great tracks that highlight the smooth and meticulous music on this album.


title: Good Madlib Mix

text: Madlib is great with making his famous mixtapes. This volume sounds like one of his Medicine Show compilations from the even numbered series (Medicine Show #2: Flight to Brazil, Medicine Show #10: Black Soul, etc.) because they are artists and long songs of random artists thrown in. This musical theme for this album is 70s jazz/electric jazz, funk, and soul. The mix is new to me and I’m not too familiar with the artists in the set. An enjoyable mix none the least and always up to Madlib standards!


title: Good sound but somewhat disappointing performance.

text: Recording was good, but the performance wasn't up to Yu Lina's first recording back in the 1970's. Felt more like a straight reading of the music with little emotional expression compared to the first recording.


title: Wonderful recording

text: If you are a Mike Oldfield fan you will enjoy this.


title: Goog for small spaces

text: Nice size and portability, but not much output.  Good for small enclosed spaces.


title: Makes little girls "Official" Princesses

text: Just hearing her name in the Princess songs makes our granddaughter light up.  She's 2.  Great gift.  Also gets them into music.


title: Beautiful

text: It is impossible to stay in a bad mood when listening to Steve Kujala!


title: Great CD by Team H

text: I love every song on this CD!  Makes me want to dance and sing along which I do while listening to it in the car.  There's a variety of music, it's not all the same either.  Hope they come to the US soon!

text:
Decent.
Some basic science flaws such as a water hose spraying a super hot fuel cell fire causing water to separate into hydrogen & oxygen and fire to run back up the water line is so ridiculous it takes you out of the story.  A few scenes such as a submarine surfacing are forced and odd in their description, and the explanations when the main character stumbles upon important discoveries late in the game make little sense.  Several of the main themes follow a common formula:
action scenes - check
romantic scenes - check
huge unknown - check
Seems like the author wrote an outline with common bits that sell and then filled in the blanks.  Hopefully later books from this author improve.

title: Roger Whittaker Has a Singing Voice That Was Very Popular Over 30 Years Ago and Always Should Be!

text:
To be honest,  I had forgotten how much I enjoy many of the songs he sings and happen to hear one on a local radio station.
 Immediately I felt the need to be able to listen to him more often than by chance so I am delighted to have his "The Tender Favorites" CD
 and intend to order some of his others. Yes, my expectations were met, to answer your question.

title: Fuel

text: I bought this package of loops and there is not enough rolls on the end of the beats. And when I try to use them the wav/acid part is not working right. Some of them I drag into my Cakewalk do not work. What happens is they are recorded at a certain speed but they change when you drag them in.


title: A Classic CD from an acoustic genius!

text:
I own all of Justin King's CDs and all of them are incredible in their own right. I'd have to say that Le Bleu is one of my favorites! His technique is impeccable, and his style uniquely satisfying.

This CD is a must have for any fan of good music!


title: Great a-side, b-sides just OK

text: The a side ("pretenders to the throne") is a great song but a bit too short. I like some live versions better with an extended ending and some added trumpets that would have fit great on the studio version. The b-sides are kind of  throwaway, not bad, not great.


title: A good collection of Polish carols!

text: A timely and well put together of traditional carols!


title: If you're Lutheran, you must get this!

text: This has been worth every penny I paid for it.  Thank you Concordia so much for doing this!  This has been such a blessing to my family and I!


title: Glad I purchased

text: I am very impressed with and enjoy this CD.  I played trumpet all the way through High School and beyond and appreciate this kind of music.  It isn't Doc Severinson, but still very,very good.

title: Debby’s voice is beautiful and draws you in to a place of worship

text: I absolutely love Debby’s rich full singing voice and I’m pretty sure I have just about wore out my copy of her CD.  If you are looking for a great worship cd with a Christian country/pop feel to it then look no further!  Her songs are uplifting and take you to a place of worship.  I look forward to hopefully hearing more songs from her in the future 💗


title: Good CD

text: This is a pretty good one from RK, kind of more of a country sound than what I expected, but still very good. It has a lot of good songs on it, I recommend it for any fan.


title: Loyalty without politics

text: An absolutely charming, delightful mood lifter. I listen to it while driving and feel younger for it! Great, well-written lyrics.


Larry Sparks is great, saw him in concert, met him and have known his music since he was with Ralph Stanley. He's the genuine article and keeps it traditional.
If you are looking for authentic, genuine mountain Bluegrass, it's Larry. I'm from the heart of Appalachia, where Bluegrass was born and where families play it at home and in church. I learned it from my grandmother and aunts and uncles at home.It's just not the same if you didn't inherit it. Sorry for those of you who aren't that lucky. You just can't learn real Bluegrass because it's a deep gouge in the soul that wrenches chills and memories of a hard and independent mountain life of farming and coal mining from the gut that is the source of these high lonesome mountain blues. When an Appalachian native sings Bluegrass, our Scots-irish ancestors are speaking through us over the centuries; it is part of us, it comes from deep within.. in ancient tones.
Larry Sparks delivers that, it is who he is. His vocals and guitar picking set the standard today. He's right there with Ralph Stanley, Jimmy Martin, Keith Whitley, Ricky Skaggs and Bill Monroe in my book. He has a soulful turn in his phrasing that will move you if you let it.
---from an admiring Bluegrass musician and proud Southwest Virginia Coal Country native.


title: Lulled into Relaxation

text: I used this CD for an Advent Mini-Retreat that spanned 4 Saturdays.  The music was wonderful as the pieces I selected to go with various readings seemed to be made for them.  The retreatants commented on the beautiful listening quality of each piece.  Would highly recommend it just for quiet relaxing enjoyment.

title: Worth it!

text: Not bad for the price. Love the story! While I knew it was used and was very thankful it had no scratches, chips, or breaks, I rated it 4 stars, because I had to clean the CD before it worked. It took like 5 seconds and it looked like new afterwards, but I'm surprised that it wasn't done by the individual selling the CD.


title: Excellent

text: This is a great CD of the great Jim Reeves.  The two new duet with Patsy Cline are exceptional. The new technology today is showcased in the song, Losing Your Love.  The voice was extracted and remastered into an acapella.  This is a good addition to all the other Voice Masters CD releases.


title: Excellent

text: This is an outstanding CD of one of the greatest singers of the last 60 years.  These overdubs are done with some of the finest musicians in the industry.  Sound quality and engineering is spot on.  The duets are the real stand outs.  Highly recommend this CD.


title: This is one sweet CD!

text:
I've always loved Bing's music and it's a pleasure to hear new recordings.  These recordings of Bing and Rosemary are overdubbed but done very professionally.

I've heard OTHER overdubs of Bing (and other artists) and these are NOT like the others.  Some overdubs tend to drown out the voice, but in THIS album Bing and Rosemary's voice is out front and center.

In fact, they have a "presence" that's only found in great analog recordings of the past.  A truly remarkable work of artistry and engineering.

You won't be dissapointed.  This is s a "should-have" for anyone that's a casual Crosby / Clooney listener.  It's a "must-have" for any Bing Crosby and/or Rosemary Clooney collector!
