title: Queen Latifah's in the house.

text: People do not really associate Queen Latifah with her music as much as her acting. Upon hearing her music... I was impressed, her songs are really funky and fun, including fast ryhmes and cool jazz with that 90's flair. This album is good, but I think her "All Hail The Queen" album is much better!

When Discipline first popped up, it was a great shock and the song was amazing. The only strange thing is, well, it seemed like somewhat of a demo. The way he begins singing too early then stops and then the way the songs cuts out early. Hey, who am I to complain? After the insult that was Ghosts I-IV, I was very grateful.
  Then he follows it up with a complete FREE album! Suddenly, I am no longer angry about the meager $5 I spent on Ghosts (not a bad price for 2 CD's, so I really had no right to complain EVER). At first, it was a rush- everyone trying to download at once. I don't remember if, at the time, we knew it was going to remain available forever. Whatever the case, I couldn't get it fast enough.
  I did not listen to a single track until I had them all and in order. I found a nice beach to sit and listen and I was blown away! I loved Year Zero, and With Teeth was 75% awesome, but the Slip was/is brilliant. Even the instrumental stuff worked perfectly(he just released 36 instrumental songs, why any more?). More than that, my fear that this would just be a collection of odds and ends from the last few albums (like the missing Not So Pretty Now, Non-Entity, the Life You Didn't Lead, and Message to No One in Particular), some just re-named, was thankfully unfounded. This was an album of songs that fit together perfectly.
  Now on to the whole point of my "review". As a collector, I needed the Slip in physical form. Sure, in the back of my mind I was hoping the rumours of an entire new disc or a few bonus tracks were true, but aside from the live in the studio stuff, I found nothing new (I'm sure there is some "secret code or trick" someone will find soon, but until then, I feel I am allowed to complain about the one SINGLE problem with the CD version of the Slip; Discipline has not been fixed! Maybe the early start on the vocals was intentional, after all, it sounds cool, but THE END!!! They did not fix the end. It just cuts off! That drives me crazy. Everything else about this CD is perfect- the mysterious artwork, the stickers (is there 1 for every song?), lyrics, the bonus disc. It's all great save that ONE nails-on-a-chalkboard aggrivation. And why Discipline out of all the songs? Why not Letting You (not that I dislike Letting You, but if I HAD to pick a "least favorite", then...)
  Still, these years have taught me, NIN has GREAT re-sale value, so buy as many copies as you can because A LOT of people are going to be sitting back saying "why bother? I can get it for free.", but a few years from now, like all the other NIN stuff, people will be searching high and low. And even though I did end up buying my copy, I still want to say "THANK YOU" to Trent Reznor for doing something this amazing just to thank his fans.


title: wonderful

text: Brought this CD for my wife and I ended up liking Daft Punk myself, they can really pack a punch with dance beats.


title: Wonderful kirtans

text: C.C White is a strong and wonderful kirtan singer, she deliver a powerful message in all of her songs, message of love, peace, and harmony within your spirit.


title: Analog Paycheck!

text: Love the album, great quality. I don't think any song skips on it. Thanks!


title: Old School Is The School

text: While remastering analog is an art, sometimes hearing it the way it was originally, flaws and all, has it's own charms. A nice collection covering many decades, only the Starlight Strings cut doesn't mix in well since it is far more recent than the other cuts.

title: is super powerful, effective

text:
I have been using Edwene Gaines' Goddess Meditation each morning for the past 2-weeks.  If you are new to meditation, Joel Goldsmith (new thought leader) says: "Prayer has been misused.  People have used prayer as a means to "get something". Prayer MUST be used as a means to get into communion with God, at one with (atonement) . . . and for NO, absolutely NO other purpose.  He says: Meditation is used to experience the presence of God. It is used to get to that space of total silence, your Be Still point.
Now in Edwene's Goddess Meditation, your guide is El Shaddai. She occurs in the Old Testament 41 times, she is the breasted one, the mighty who nourishes, supplies, and sustains.
This was new to me, and with an open mind after doing my own homework on El Shaddai, I allowed the process to begin and I was able to get to that BE STILL space faster + deeper than anything I have ever done with anyone on the planet. This 'fantasy meditation' as Edwene describes it,  is super powerful, effective, and so healing. The image on the front cover does not describe the experience you will have, and with that said, I have no idea what picture could describe the healing you will experience.


title: Excellent Package and Value for GLJ Fans!!

text:
I purchased this 5CD box set (along with similar box sets by Fields of the Nephilim and Love and Rockets) via Amazon UK, at a significant savings over the prices offered via the Amazon USA site (where they each were listed at over $50.00 a piece).  The voices of the brothers Aston are an acquired taste, and may be offputting to some, but overall, I think most of the music included is top notch and sounds great.  Although I already own the 2005 2CD reissues of "Promise", "Immigrant" and "Discover", this package is well worthwhile for inclusion of the original full albums and bonus tracks of "The House of Dolls" and "Kiss of Life".  There is a distinct difference in the guitar playing of I.C. Hudson on the 1st two albums (a more slashing, droning approach), and James Stevenson on the latter three albums (a more hard rock guitar style, with some atmospherics), but I like both quite a lot.  James' style probably made their sound a bit more accessible to the mainstream, even with those otherworldy voices of Michael and Jay crooning or wailing over the top.  The rhythm section does a great job throughout!

I credit Beggars Banquet for doing a tremendous job of compiling these classic GLJ albums with great sound, in a very nice package at an affordable price.  As others have noted in similar BB box sets, the liner notes are limited to the band, production and song writing credits for each album, so it is a bit sparse in that regard, but the overall package is well worth your time if you're already a fan or just interested in their early/classic band output.  This is some of my favorite "alternative" music from my college days.

Peace and enjoy!!


WOW, perfect mix of modern and classical music.

text: great music!


title: Was alright, not great but good.

text: I like her... This cd wasn't worth the $ that it was, however she has lovely voice. Love her hair.


title: unbelievably fantastic lost gem

text: This album is insanely fantastic.  It is also very obscure now; Ralph MacDonald is an almost-forgotten genius. This is seriously happy music from the late 1970s, Afro-centric, brimming with beats and wisdom. A lovely mix of African and American jazz influence. I just wish everyone could hear this!


title: 9 songs or 5 episodes?

text: I had to post this as a review because apparently there is no place to start a discussion or ask questions anymore. Just wanted to know if anyone knows what is on this CD?? It says "9" which I thought meant 9 songs from the series, but the back picture lists what looks like 5 episodes, but this an audio (not a DVD)????????


title: Praise the Lord in song!

text: Love this CD. Start my day praising the Lord in song!


title: Out of Production

text: I went to a local music store trying to find either a new or used copy of this album and was told it was no longer available.  Glad I found it here.  JA has a fine country voice.


title: Perfect

text: I bought it for my daughter and my daughter loves it


title: Five Stars

text: Great


title: Worth the wait!

text: Petra was the first band I ever saw in concert when they were touring for Beat the System.  Even though I liked the early John Schlitt years I always preferred the Greg Volz sound on vocals.  This is one of those really pleasant surprises for all us 40 somethings who grew up listening to Petra.  So what if I had to wait 25+ years for a new album from my favorite line-up.  It was worth it.  Get this one and you won't be disappointed.


title: A 5-star product with a 4-star packaging

text:
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore everything about this album. The only thing that is keeping this from being a 5-star, for me, is the poster and how it was handled in the packaging. It’s a big poster, close to the same size as many of those large movie posters that you see in the displays at stores. It was folded tightly into this small square, creating deep creases at the folding lines and edges. I love this poster, it’s adorable, and features the original 12 members, so you can imagine my frustration at seeing the extra wear and tear.

Overall, I do not regret this purchase and I would argue that I am just being overly picky when it comes to the poster. (On the bright side) This is my first Christmas album and I wasn’t expecting the small paper-cardboard snow globe -Lay. There wasn’t a signed photo card with this one, but rather a set of reversible Universe cards featuring EXO and their coffee theme -which I thought was cute.


I bought these cd's because of the songs listed on the review. I was very disappointed that these were not the songs on the cd.

title: Jackie Vernon was one of a kind

text: I have many comedy albums from Steve Martin to Redd Foxx, and this album is at the very top.  Jackie's low key delivery of such funny material is so powerful. The skit of a man so lonely that he buys a watermelon for a pet is so crazy it will make you split your sides laughing. Just make sure you're close to a lavatory. Cheers!

title: McLuhan "Anomaly"

text:

b) The Assembly Line c) Electric Man d) Question.

on Bride and Brief Message

McLuhan was a concept and a mixed-media group where no particular musical venue or style would necessarily prevail. The creator of the idea was David Wright who composed most of the music and wrote the lyrics on their only album. The idea was to try different things in performances including special sound effects such as baby's crying, various weird instruments, background sounds, playing old movies during their performance ("Monster Bride" was actually Bride of Frankenstein and in live performance they would turn on the movie at the point where the 20th Century Fox theme is played). The medium was the message, not the content. Labels didn't matter. The Wise-Fools Pub on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago hired McLuhan to perform every Monday night and they developed a small local following. Their performance got really tight, and eventually led to a record contract. McLuhan only was together for about 1 to 1 ½ years, and they never had a live performance promoting their album... since the very last thing they did was produce Anomaly. It got some obscure radio play but was "dead" as far as the band knew. Anomaly's concept and ideas sound advanced for its time of release (1970). Uniquely American art-rock in a brassy and groovy kind of way. Over the years its become cult album.

title: Perfect for Your Whole Family!

text: A few months ago, I had never heard of this company until I got a flyer in the mail one day saying that some of the same people who did the "Adventures in Odyssey" dramas, were now doing these Heritage Audio dramas.  I spent a lot of time looking over the material and decided I would take a risk and try them out.  We just finished listing to "With Lee in Virginia" as a family (our four kids range in age from 7 to 12 years old), and we all LOVED it.  We were hooked and couldn't stop listening to it.  The characters were captivating, the story line was real and historically accurate and listening together sparked some amazing discussions about slavery, the Civil War and how it all relates to our lives today.  Incredible gift to our family!


title: Five Stars

text: brings back good memories!


title: Very cool

text: This is a really cool box set because everything is unique and a limited edition to Detroit Stories. For example, I have just about every AC T-shirt available but nowhere can you find or get the one included in this box set. Then there’s the mini led flashlight which projects AC eyes! This is just over the top cool! Buy it if your a collector or you just want a unique set of cool stuff from AC!


title: Fun while driving.

text: I grew up listening to their album on car trips. I also had the pleasure of growing up at camp they would perform at regularly. They are wonderful people. The album is a wonderful mix of fun and thoughtful songs. I would very much recommend buying this album and supporting these artists. 3}


title: Purchase is exact representation

text: Purchase for granddaughter she is ecstatic about it extremely pleased with my purchase


title: How many songs are on this CD

text: This was a gift. My concern is that it 's one song instead of a 12 to 15 song CD. The wording is vague... This CD is on my IPod. It's amazing!!


title: Terrific performances and a fine recording

text: I was only familiar with the Concierto de Aranjuez, but I love all of these Rodrigo concertos for guitar and harp. This two-CD compilation is on regular rotation at my place now. I note that Amazon thinks this is a single CD but the photo of the case clearly shows it is two. Can't beat these performers, the Romeros in particular. Extremely glad to have this in my music collection.


Dynamite cd along with all of his other cds.  Jon is one of the greatest songwriters of our times, along with writing great books and a very talented singer.  I could listen to his music 24 hours a day if I could stay up that long,

With great 80s tunes such as Call Me, Sex I'a A ...., and We Got The Beat.  Best years of music and groups.  If you are ever having a party this would be a great Cd to play for dancing and to bring back fond memories of the 80's.


title: my review of too shy (midnight mix)

title: Big Band Drumming Perfection!

text: This is an excellent performance as well as production.  Drums were prominent throughout but never dominant, except on the extended solo on the final track...Wow!!!  Bernie's the Man on the drums!!!  Dare I say, he's taking Buddy Rich-style drumming and big band arrangements to the next level!  I'm also impressed how well this was recorded.  Everything is clear but warm throughout.  The depth and clarity of each instrument shines through.  No harshness whatsoever.  I see why there's a recording techniques essay in the liner notes!  I know big band music isn't the thing in today's pop scene, but Bernie Dresel has really created something special with his new album, and I highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates real music.


title: Great Mix of Top Hits From Back Then To 00s - 2010s

text:
I came across Dj Yu-Ki years ago and I decided to have this nice 2013 DJ mix album mixing songs from back in the day to 00s to the 2010s. I also wanted it because when I heard one song sample from it such as I Want It That Way stood out to me and I really liked the way it had an EDM mix to it. When I played this album all the way through, I was surprise with the other songs that had some arrangements of EDM influences in some of the songs like I Want It That Way and it was actually outstanding! So far my favorites with those electronic dance music influences was You Don't Know You're Beautiful, California Girls, Getting Back Together, One More Time, Tonight Tonight, September from disc 1 and I Want You Back, Let's Get It Started, One Love from disc 2, and three more songs. I was also expecting to get a party vibe and feel from this mix and I did get a party feel and it's also kind of closer to a chill and still up beat party vibe from it. You can actually dance to this album too.

As far as with the production, the transitions for the most part was really good. There are some songs that had some really good and creative rhythmized transitions when I listened for beyond the clashing explosion sounds, some transitions were really creative besides the expected explosion ones and the timing is good too. But then there's ones that were cut off and there was no creative mix, it was just a cut to the next song and I expected to be mixed all the way through the whole album. Though, I still find that tolerable. I'm not sure what I heard in the mix itself but I can hear some kind of speed-up effect during the songs in certain tracks and I can hear it affecting the singers and basslines and other background instruments. And that effect really shows in the 24th song in disc 1 and the song Baby from disc 2. And as far as with track 24, I feel like there could of been more work done to it. And for the song You're Beautiful, I kind of wish there was a bit of a different beat pattern for it and add more work to the background instruments. Those are the two tracks that I dislike. They both just sounded kind of funny to me. Other than that the sound quality is really good and does provide some good bass. It is not a bad mix album at all. Another thing that I am fascinated about this album is that it has some unique melodic chords.

I think it's also good to own if you just want something unique as nice dance mix to add to your electronic music collection.


title: You Know My Name....gggreat!!

text: Anthology 2 is worth every penny, especially because of the wonderful "Real Love" and hilarious "You Know My Name," though I prefer the final version on the B side of "Let It Be." Am I the only one who appreciates the incredible Lennon and McCartney vocals in the beginning of the latter? Singing near the top of their ranges, they have an otherworldly quality that is unmatched in pop music. They don't even sound human! Lennon and McCartney were truly a match made in Heaven.

Cantor Lemmer has a beautiful voice and is well-accompanied by the musicians. This album compares favorably to the famous old-time Chazanim!


title: Pleasing voice with beautiful music

text: This product purchase for personal use.  Oliver's voice is pleasing, soothings, insperational to love/be loved.  Eventhough I don't understand most of the words, I find hope in Oliver's music.  Love and music is universal, I don't need to understand the words, just listen to beautiful music and tone of Oliver's voice.  I'm blessed to have made this purchase.  G.


title: Great product

text: Daughter loved it


title: Great music great quality

text: Great quality and arrived early than expected.  Great gift for any kpop fan.


title: BBC session

text: Thank  you


title: Sounds great - Considering the source

text: This is the creation of the Children of God/The Family International cult. David Berg created this cult in the late 60s. Along with typical Christian teachings, he added a new definition of love, which encompassed, included, and demanded free sex among members, including children. There are several good documentaries out, and you should look them up. That said, this music is very good. There are no traces that I can detect in the music of the propagation of the sexual themes of the cult. I was disappointed because I expected the artwork that is pictured, but the album and dust cover was plain white, as this is a promotional copy. Interestingly enough, the music was good enough to attract Paul Buckmaster, Sir Elton John's long-time arranger.


title: Great music

text: The Black Keys are a band that puts their mark on the blues their way.


title: Great for the Celtic soul

text: The music sIngs to my Celtic soul. I love the drums they get my heart pounding and my feet moving


title: My Favorite Album Of The Last Year

text: If you're familiar with Jeff's work in Tsar, then you know the guy knows from hooks & melodies. And those 2 things are in abundance here. Just an absolute glam-tastic super-catchy pop-rock fest!!!


title: Just What I'm Looking For... Thanks!!!

text: I got the package just as soon as I ordered it...


title: Inspired and inspiring still!!

text: Message in each unique song profound and moving and technically beautiful as well. I wanted to find it because I needed to hear it again. God was faithful to break my heart and fill it again as He always does when I admit my neediness.<br />Lovely and inspiring.


title: Worse than Louder Than Hell?

text: It just might be. At least LTH had a good B side. But this whole album feels as bland as the A side of LTH. Nothing really stands out. But ALL of the rest of their albums are 9s or 10s.


title: Five Stars

text: Came just as described and plays fantastic


title: What can you say about AWESOME?

text:
Clapton is....just awesome!!!!!!!!!! These CDS remind me of drinking a good cold coca cola (before they messed with the formula) on a hot Summer's day, a favorite past-time of mine.
The music is so varied. I danced, I laughed and "Tears In Heaven" made me cry.
Just perfect!


title: cd Tumble Down...Marcus Foster

title: Charlie Parker

text: A compilation of Charlie Parker recordings on Savoy , Dial and Verve.  Great start to exploring the short lived life of musical genius.


title: Five Stars

text: Thank you.


title: Never to Die

text: With a stunning orchestra and stellar lyrics, Evans and Orton have composed a masterpiece. Closely following the book, their rendition returns to Count Dracula what society has so horrifically stolen from him. Michael McCarthy excells as the chilling and sensual lead role. Songs such as "I Am Condemned," "Within My World," and "Never to Die" allow listeners to see a full range of emotion and power. A beautiful, inspired recording, Dracula gives you chills every time you hear it.


title: Best Worship Arrangements

text:
I love this CD. I'm listening to it now: 22 songs on 2 CDs.
The song selection is impecable but NOT original artists.
The book has the best piano and choir arrangements avalable.


title: Never Ceases to Amaze Me!

text: This cd/dvd set ought to be mandatorily issued to all Split Enz fans. This was an exhilarating treat for those of us who live out of tour range. Solid performances of a nice chunk of their catalog. A head's up, though, to anyone buying the set used - the first one I got from a reseller was apparently from the initial pressing, which had a manufacturing error on the DVD. That disc stalls, stutters, and finally seizes up entirely when you select "Play All." I would not have known it was the disc's fault if not for luckily stumbling across a thread about the DVD on their fan board. Fortunately, I was able to buy a new subsequent pressing that did not have that error.


title: Great

text: These folks are the best…


title: Shipping with padded envelopes should be mandatory…

text: The cd’s were shipped from France in and envelope without padding. Of course the case was busted but the cd’s were good.

ESTE ES UN CD QUE LO DEBE TENER CUALQUIER PERSONA QUE SE HACE LLAMAR PERUANO!!!  100% APROBADO!!

text: This is truly a classic.  It contains a cast of great British actors (credited and uncredited) who take you through the whole range of emotions of the book. It is unabridged. My true regret that this version is not available in more recent formats. Would love to see Audible add this to its library.

text: great


title: A great gathering of superbe of musicians.

text: Vinyl is great sounds nice and warm but I do have a great question I would guess that the vinyl is more valuable than the CD yet I only paid 1/3 the price they are charging for this compact disk why?

title: This is truly; Songs of Angles

text: I have searched for praise and adoration music for some time now, and nothing that I had will match these timeless songs. I find myself singing these songs even in my sleep, and dreams. This has impacted my life in such profound ways. I have grown to know the peace which passeth all understanding, which the world didn't give and certainly cannot take away.


title: Not a  good choice for youth

text: Not ideal for middle school and younger age groups. Inappropriate songs & messages. Yuck.


title: Love the music by Beltrami and it covers every inch ...

text: Everything it said it was going to be. Love the music by Beltrami and it covers every inch of his score. A must have for any fan of this modern day horror classic.


title: Very Interesting

text:
Very interesting reading throughout.

A great review of cellular biology for people like me that haven't given in a second thought since high school. (first several chapters)

Thought provoking conclusions as to how our own thoughts actually influence our lives. We all know from experience that bad thoughts breed more bad thoughts and positive thinking can help bring about great changes in our lives.

I recommend this book very much.


title: flashback

text: This band was emerging on the college scene in the early 90's. Great party band. Good bunch of guys. Good bunch of songs. They were  regular players at the Happiness Hotel in Stroudsburg, Pa. too the delight of many. A good variety of types of songs, from dreamlike to rock.


title: Songs that I like

text: The CD included song that I like,  CD quality is good, so I am completely satisfied with this product and would recommend it to other Rozenbaum's fans.

title: Don't get excited

text: If you were hoping for a new album, well then you're probably just as disappointed as I am. This is just a DVD documentary containing the same answers and footage from Both "Under Review"s contained. The CD is a mash up of formal radio and bootleg interviews.<br />It would be great if a DVD of her music videos was finally out but this is not it.

ONE OF THE BEST CDs FROM A BAND NO ONE'S EVER HEARD OF THAT YOU'LL EVER FIND!
Tight, original Driving Funk from Denver, CO. The bass player's a Monster. If you're a musician, and
ever expect to make any real money from playing music, listen to this, forget it, and play what you want for fun.

A friend of mine who lived in Denver for a couple years, returned with a cassette from this bar band he'd seen. I dubbed the tape, bounced it to digital, and preserved it like a monk for years, until I found a pristine copy of it for THREE dollars.
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

text: This disc is an amazing variety of tunes that tell a story--from the clever lyrics to the bold background vocals, not to mention the sweet, lean arrangements. With vocals by the Bloodgood bands' front-man to everything else by legendary axeman for Air Supply and Eddie Money, this disc is trick.

title: El peor album que pueden haber creado de los heroes ...

text: El peor album que pueden haber creado de los heroes, por una simple razon, todas las conciones estan cortadas, le cortaron los solos de guitarra y partes en las que bunbury repite el coro, por eso este album no sirve, es una basura, no se lo recomiendo a nadie.

title: Absolute waste of money and time

text:
Firstly, I have never posted a review on Amazon prior to this purchase.
I purchased this audio review with some degree of skepticism, given the lack of consumer reviews or an adequate description, and now feel compelled to write a review to warn potential consumers before purchasing this item.
Seconds into the first track, as I heard what seemed to be an annoying computer-generated voice read verbatim from poorly formatted text, I immediately began regretting my purchase. I gave the authors the benefit of the doubt and continued to listen to several tracks, hopeful that the quality and relevance of content would improve. It continued to disappoint. The educational value of the content and relevance to ABSITE was marginal at best and presented in a format that was superficial, disjointed and extremely difficult to follow. I have used several review books and resources for ABSITE preparation, and I have such a strong negative opinion of this audio review that I would rather use no resource at all than this use this for my preparation. Do yourself a favor and save your money for a more useful purchase.


title: SUPERLATIVE

text: Of the hundred or so accounts of these two staples of the violin concerto repertoire that I have heard, this account stands out in several ways. The violin playing is virtuoso, but never for the sake of being virtuoso. Even though it is a full modern orchestra, the effect is that of chamber music with a chamber orchestra. The recording is imbued with warmth equally from the soloist and the orchestra. The sound is always rich, yet always immaculately clear. The soloist is not miked too closely as in many concerto recordings, and the effect is much more akin to a live performance as a result. I, in fact, felt as if were listening to a live performance. I gave it a standing ovation...


title: liked it but...only one song

text: For some reason I thought this was an entire album. It's one song with three remixes. I would have just bought the single had I known. 35.00 is a lot for a mix album.


title: Great CD

text: I always really liked this group. I am thrilled with this CD. Thanks!


title: Great music'

text: Very good collection of some great music. Very interesting.  Thanks!


My parents have gone to Laughlin, NV for several winter to get out of the Colorado COLD and love Paddy O'Brien and his performances there.  He is not there this winter and I am thrilled to be able to give them CD's of his music for Christmas.  What do you get the people who have everything??  Paddy O'Brien music CD's, that's what.


title: Heavy Duty Leather Hole Ounch

text: This is better quality than what I could find at Lowe’s.  I’m pleased.


title: When the Saints Go to Worship

title: Latin party music

text: This has to be the best music for Latin parties! It has music for everyone.. even for children. Love it!!!!!


title: Great Inspiration and Music

text: Second time purchasing, the first one disappeared I have the case but no CD. This is really a great gospel CD, the whole CD is very good. You will not be disappointed.  Fred Hammond is one if my favorite gospel artist. Very inspirational!


title: Great folk-rock

text: A fresh take on folk-rock. Great Texas voices!


Florin is considered the heir apparent to Stephane. You'll find him featured prominently on the "Bireli LaGrene & friends Live " DVD. Angelo DeBarre is an innovative Gypsy Jazz guitarist with many CD's to his credit. . I'd recommend anything by either of them without reservation. Together? Beautiful music.


title: ALL THE GREAT SONGS!!

text: I love the music on these discs, especially the disc 1.  I'm a little old to be liking this band, but i don't care their great, love the words, and the beats....the best!


title: CSU 1st Album

text: Got this CD when it came out during the CSU CD release party in Okinawa Japan, The band played at several clubs out on gate 2 street and several festivals around the area. The sound is a mix of the style during the late 90s. This is a needed CD for those that love the music of the late 90s. This an awesome CD.


title: Great music!

text: I like that I found this one!


title: Doesn’t include things listed in the description

text: Love the album! Hate the seller attitude and won’t help me fix this! It clearly states it suppose to include folded poster and pre order benefits. If it doesn’t include it, don’t include it in the listing.


title: A lost Diamond in the Rough

text: I saw Matthew Andrae perform this music in 2000 in Santa Fe.  The music is incredible and he has a wonderful voice.  I looked for him on You Tube and found his more recent releases but none match the music perormed on this disc!  I sat down with him and he autographed a CD which I still have in my collection and on my Ipod.  During our brief visit I told him that I thought he would do very well, and it appears he has!  However, most people don't know him and his music is rarely heard and the best of it, in my opinion, is not on You Tube!  I would guess that he has not been managed well, and that is a shame.  He is a wonderful performer who connects well with his audiences. Best to you Matthew.  And thank you for what you do.


title: Has good sound

text: We bought this cd because my hubby loved the song I'm on fire. Which is awesome ! I am so in love with that song, however I felt a little decieved when I herd the rest of the cd. The music was ok, but not really our style. It is good, don't get me wrong, it's just not us. The quality of this mans voice is beautiful, in a kind of boys to men kinda way. So if that's your style, I say get this CD. You'll love it.

Bought this set in Oct. Now in Dec, the longest one doesn’t work anymore. The iPhone shows it gets charged but at the same time the
% counts down. The Amazon page says hassle free warranty but I cannot find any contact information. The link on the product page goes to a general web page with no real content.

So yes, they look great but I ordered them to charge my phone not to look at them :-(


title: Brian Auger&Julie Driscoll: Intense, Exciting and Overlooked

text:
Brian Auger plays the Hammond B-3 with intensity, verging on aggression such that, on occasion, it sounds like he's chasing the instrument, and the B-3 is fleeing from those precise  fingers of his.

Julie Driscoll's singing could take on the passion and the immediacy of a fire alarm. Just listen to her on Richie Havens' "Indian Rope Man", or "Flesh Failures", from the musical "Hair".

Driscoll's voice made the music of a very competent band so thrilling that I cannot imagine what it would be like to hear them play on a good night. But this album will do well enough. It's thrilling music.

title: Willie Dixon: Ne Plus Ultra of Blues Songwriters

text: Because Willie Dixon wrote, (or co-wrote), produced, and played on most of these tracks, it is one of Chess's strongest compilations. The Bo Diddley track, "Pretty Thing" is just an astonishing, simple, yet profound, piece of musical art. WDs ability to draw the genius out of the artists he worked with is everywhere evident on this CD. The more you play it, the more you will hear from Willie Dixon and these timeless artists.


title: His worst album

text: Hallelujah and the Weary Kind are good songs. The rest of the album has the energy of a cold dead fish.


title: Good Quality Sound Recording

text: I have several live Jethro Tull concerts and this is really good.  The price was very attractive and sound quality very very good.  I would recommend buying this.


These lullabies sung by Tanya provide a very soothing for adults and infants and all in-between.  I bought this for one pregnant friend and now the daughter she bore uses the same tape (I think it was a tape) for her baby!  And I just bought it for a young cousin.  It's truly special and from reading reviews I understand there is a much cheaper version with multiple artists that is good, but not as good as Tanya's!


title: Awesome cd

text: I am fan of music from the CIVIL WAR and this CD is just to my liking


title: For the serious listener / follower of Scriabin

text: Glad to have acquired this recording.  It does have historical and interpretive significance, even with the sometimes spotty quality of the recording engineering.


title: The Boston Five Are Back !!!

text: "Summertime" is a great introduction to New Kids on the Block! Great summer song! All of the haters will eat crow when their new ablum goes platium. My wife and I have already purchased our tickets to see them in St. Louis! Watch out here comes the screaming fans! Awesome song!

text: MotFD is a great band and I don't think I've ever come across an album of theirs that wasn't worth buying.


title: XX has a little bit of everything and whole lot of sensational sounds

text: Brian has hit a home run with this release. Funky and sensuous on one CD yet it all feels right and sounds terrific! BC fans will not be disappointed. Add it to your cart !


title: Heavier.  I miss Tuonela sound

text: This album is a change in a sense to the typical amorphis sound, thought they deliver it Amorphis style.  The higher pitch death metal vocals, I didn't care too much for, but the rest of the album is great.


title: Five Stars

text: Quality cd.


title: NOT WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR

text: I know very little about opera, but now and then I would hear something that I really liked. In fact, over time, quite a few somethings. Beautiful voices singing beautiful music. Familiar opera. I was hoping to find a compilation of beautiful voices singing beautiful, familiar opera. This CD failed to give me what I want because of the 16 tracts, only three contain vocals. To be fair, all of the selections are familiar, and the quality of the performances is excellent. It just did not give me for what I was searching. Perhaps I will try "Opera For Idiots" next. Or maybe "Opera For Beginners Who Want To Hear People Singing Familiar Opera." Any suggestions?


title: Great Album

text: This is a great album with Freddy Powers and some fantastic musicians.Kelly Lancaster and Mike Wheeler on guitars make this CD sizzle.This CD is what I would imagine what Django would sound like if he were alive today living in Texas.If you can find this,buy it.


title: Seems to only be available via import -- but worth it!

text: I was first turned on to this band from their current album, "The Mouths of Madness".  Reviews compared that great sound to this album so I had to track it down until I finally found one in Belgium of all places.  I'm so glad I did.  If you like the sound of early Black Sabbath, you will like this band.


title: This page is for the audio CD, is it not?

text: I checked the reviews on the printed book's  page, and they are almost unanimously glowing. I come here to check out the audio version, mainly to see if it is read by Palin himself, and I see 2 poor reviews about - the book?  The good thing I guess is that if you aren't observant enough to know you are reviewing a printed book on an Audio CD page, then your review is probably not worth taking very seriously either.

title: very relaxing music

text: awesome group just had wished there were more songs on this album. But that is ok I am sure the next one will be even better


title: GREAT album from a MISSED metal-ish band.

text: Bob Butler is a great guitarist and songwriter and some of my favorite memories from my high school years revolve around BRAIN POLICE gigs in New London, CT.  Don't know where he is, but I'm glad these records are out...I  have both of them...and I hope he records more.<br />If you like FUDGE TUNNEL  or BIG BLACK, you need to check this out!


title: Jack Jones CD

text: If You Go Away is on it....the album is just great. Enough said OK? Yikes this is ridiculous that you need all this


title: Five Stars

text: The best polkas ever.


title: Just Good Music

text: A decent double album with a lot of unexpectedly good horn arrangements.There are a few places where you can hear the guitar style that Harbey Mandel would become identified with later, especially when he was a member of Canned Heat. Some good blues and R&B. Not spectacular but solid.

title: Such an amazing and carefully made album.

text: The album in itself is so pretty and the tracks are wonderful too! I really love being a bellieve and supporting the girls!


title: Instructions are a little difficult to understand to begin with.

text: I’ve made air fried burgers and fries which were fantastic!  Right now I’ve got dry beans in the pressure cooker waiting for supper. While the pressure cooked beans taste pretty good, nothing beats cooking beans slowly for hours. These were done in an hour which is very convenient but loses some flavor in the process. I previously owned an air fryer and a pressure cooker. Being able to downsize to one appliance with two functions is fantastic!


title: Bonnie Raitt is 1 our best in the music world of our time.She is a gift to us all!!!!

text: My written review of Bonnie is in the title box! She is 1 of the best singer,musician,songwriter of our time! I have been a huge fan for 5 decades.


title: The worst of the worst

text: Universal has used its PR department to hype a substandard performance of the Verdi Requiem. They obviously do not care about music - they care only about capitalizing on Bocelli's popularity. This performance is perhaps the worst of the worst! Bocelli lacks the weight, nuance, tone and musicianship necessary to sing the tenor part in the Requiem. As for Gergiev and the others - they should hang their head in shame. How anyone like Renee Fleming could participate in a recording like this mystifies me. Anyone who wishes to buy a truly great performance of this work should search [...] for the newly reissued Giulini/Philharmonia on EMI or the Ormandy/Philadelphia recording on Sony or the Muti/Philharmonia on EMI Forte. This recording is just plain POOR!


title: Daesung is the best

text: Although TOP is my bias, Daesung is so talented and just a ray of sunshine.  His voice is amazing and his natural talent shines through.  Even if you aren't a fan of BIGBANG this cd is very good to add to your collection if you enjoy different styles of music.


title: Excellent release by this band

text: Excellent release by this band, with a lineup that came and went way too fast. These guys were really all in it for the music and the experience of sharing that music with their fans--and people in general. They werent afraid to be creative or to try things that I'd imagine gets more difficult to try as a band matures and establishes themselves. It's difficult to articulate exactly what I mean; you just gotta listen to the album (the whole album, with the tracks in order, as it's meant to be heard). The ONLY thing that I'd be vocal about when giving my thoughts on the album itself is this: it's unclear who wrote the lyrics for this album--I'm going to assume it's the bandmember who is the vocalist--and he's great for the most part; he can sing and has a decent scream, but geez man... ...at several points throughout the album I just wanna shake you and say, "Stop singing like a little [insert any word here that would be degrading to one's general character and/or masculinity] and just make a song about anything other than this chick you seem to be obsessed with and also heartbroken over--goshdarn, son!"  Keep in mind I also may have no idea what I'm talking about and could be totally misinterpreting the lyrics. But from the sound of it my impression is that I'm hearing all about your sad, sad love life. Song subject matter aside, the raw musical talent demonstrated by each and every bandmember is impressive on this album.

title: Easily my favorite Poets of teh Fall album ever.

text:
Finally got a chance to sit back and stream the whole album and I am blown away by it.

It's a rich, melodic, dreamy, and emotional.  Sometimes somber, sometimes haunting, always beautiful.  All but a couple of tracks are very chill.  Smooth waves of sound that carry you along a midnight ride beneath a sky full of stars.

There is not a bad track on this album and while I've only streamed it I want to buy the vinyl record because you just pop the record in and play it start to finish without worrying about hearing a track you don't want to listen to.

This is an album that truly brings out the "poet" of Poets of the Fall.

title: Willie Hines makes the perfect record.

text:
Do you know the way to Abbey Road?  Apparently Willie Hines knows that neighborhood very, very well.  He wears his influences well on his sleeve, but you never ever mistake him for being anyone else other than himself.
His new record, WHATEVER comes after a long decade (more or less) of soul searching, heartbreak, grieving and loss, as well as moments of bliss and happiness, that he has managed to channel into the perfect rock record.  But, with an artist like Willie Hines, the wait is well worth it when it comes to new music releases.
Onto the music.

Say Hello-Hello!  Great way to kick the doors down with a shimmering power pop anthem that recalls the best song Jellyfish never wrote.  It also reminds me of the late 90's So. Cal. power pop band, the Tories.  This song here is the reason that I love Willie so much.  He knows exactly what a perfect pop song should sound like and should mean, and delivers with aplomb.

Solitaire-Has a nice little sleazy groove to it that hearkens in a sense back to the Jet Red days, some very nice harmonies, and is just a great fun track.  Digging the organ at the end of the song; I love Willie's leads on this too.  Good stuff.

Downtown-Another great pop song, with a chorus that gets stuck in your head like peanut butter does to the roof of your mouth.  You'll find yourself hard-pressed trying to get it out of your head, but not minding!  The bridge reminds me a little of the band 5:30's song "Psycho Cupid".  It is criminal how great of a melody/lyric writer this man is, and how relatively unknown.

The Drift-It's easy to say that this track recalls the mystical elements of Led Zeppelin, and while that is true, it also reminds me a little of some of the later period Cheap Trick...those big haunting, dreamy like lyrics swirling around in the sky, taking you in.  The guitar solo is straight Buck Dharma, which is to say tasteful and classy, with just the right amount of restraint.  A very very good track.

Honeymoon Junkie-Another nice little sleazy riff that pulls you right back into a T. Rex ELECTRIC WARRIOR vibe.  In fact, Willie's even got Marc's little sexy, breathy, whisper screams down pat.  I totally dig the chorus, and it might just be my favorite on the whole record.  It's just so laid back and sexy.  The lyrics here tell the story of a man who is a hopeless, incurable romantic, trying to find himself in a world devoid of that intense love...my take, anyway.

Greta Garbo-Another heavy, epic track that recalls Zeppelin, but I actually hear more of a Dio-era Sabbath vibe being laid down.  The chorus reminds me a lot of King's X, which ain't a bad thing at all.  I love these heavy atmospheric numbers that balance the other poppier aspects of the record; it gives for a nice, full-bodied balance of diversity in music, and every song has wonderfully masterful choruses.

Everybody Else-This song starts out with some harmony accapella vocals that remind me of Prince, or Todd Rundgren, who I know is one of Willie's biggest influences..it's a nice mid-tempo pop song that I could totally hear on the radio, if the radio played real music anymore..the melody in the chorus is one that Willie came up with as far back as 1995 or 96, because I recall him calling my home phone number when I wasn't home, and singing it on the answering machine, and when I came home and heard it, I thought, that's going to make a great song!  I can't believe I'm finally hearing it in a full-fledged song nearly 2 decades later!  Well worth the wait.  A very satisfying pop-rock song.

Smile-Interesting..I played an original song of mine for Willie once back in the day called "Smile", but it was a completely different thing altogether..I suppose every great pop songwriter needs to a have a "Smile" song.  This one, again, reminds me a little of Todd Rundgren, and in my estimation, you can't have too much Todd!  I nice little nod to Jackson 5, with those funky little pinch riffs...love it.

Gypsy's Gift-Yeah!  I've been enjoying this song since the WHB leaked it out with a nice little video to go with it...the riffs are nice and chunky, like Mott The Hoople meets the Stones and Aerosmith cum the Faces, with Willie doing his best smoky David Coverdale tribute (whether conscious or not).  A lot of people have been recently raving about the Winery Dogs, but this song to me is what real rock and roll sounds like.  Period.  Fantastic classic rock anthem.

Hippie Chick-A nice, acoustically driven campfire type sing-along song.  Simple, sweet, and sentimental.  This is the kind of song that you could sing for your girlfriend, and then get lucky later on that night.  Tee hee....Very cool to hear some harmonica in there.

Boyd's Party-A nice heavy riff groove starts off this song, and I'm sure much to Willie's surprise, the opening lyric and melody is almost exactly "Danger" by Kiss.  Willie always did say CREATURES OF THE NIGHT was their best record, so a sub-conscious nod would probably be appropriate to say happened here, or maybe I'm just projecting my own reasons...all that aside, this could have been on the first Jet Red record, and again some really cool harmonica playing finds it's way here just before a burning lead guitar solo.  Great harmonies on the chorus.  Kudos on a great, heavy, fun track.

Goodbye-Ending the album (no!  Don't end!  We want more!  We want more!), is an emotional ballad that brings you nearly to tears, as it celebrates the people and things that have moved on from this world.  Willie has been steadily privately releasing lyrics of each song to me recently, and though I haven't gotten this song's yet, from what I hear, this is one of the most poignant tracks about us as humans and how we deal with losing everything, everyone...in fact, if you've ever known Willie, you probably know that he's encountered some pretty heavy experiences over the last decade that have forced him to become more introspective than ever, and throughout the album there are lines and clues and hints about his life that piece together this album, and the culmination of things that led to the writing of this record.  Look deeper.
In closing for my review, I want to say that I've listened to the album maybe 15 times since I got it last week, and this review is in no way a complete or final picture of what I'm sure I'll get from this album.  There are so many different things to discover each time you listen.  So, do yourselves all a favor:  if you are a fan of Willie, or just a fan in general of great albums, get it.  You will not be disappointed.

title: Awesome!

text: Love this cd set! It came early!


title: Real hip hop.

text: I never new why wu tang didn't seem to have priests back on his career but he explains it in one of his songs on another album. It's always a blessing when one can still find albums where you can witness the evolution of real hip hop to which one can relate to. I don't listen to Hollywoodized commercial gimmick ass rap from the radio. I only listen to real hip hop veterans that display skill over hardcore beats. I want people to say "damn that sounded dope who was that bumpin" when I roll by with the music up.

title: Manoella Torres le canta a Baja California Sur

text:
'La mujer que nació para cantar' le rinde homenaje a Baja California Sur al interpretar canciones de la inspiración de Conchita Bulnes, en este álbum titulado "MANOELLA TORRES INTERPRETA CANCIONES DE CONCHITA BULNES".  Todo el album/CD lo canta Manoella Torres con el acompañamiento del mariachi. El ritmo de la mayoría de las canciones es tranquilo--con excepción de (1) BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, (7) VAMONOS PARA LOS CABOS [que suena como un son jalisciense], y (9) ETCETERA, ETCETERA [tipo cumbia con mariachi] que son un poquito más movidas y alegres.  La música de mariachi en este género de baladas provee un marco perfecto para esa voz que sólo Manoella tiene; el que se hayan utilizado otros instrumentos (arpa, piano, órgano, y hasta el acordeón) le da un bonito toque a la música.  Este CD se me antoja ideal para escucharlo en una tarde de verano con la brisa del mar que caracteriza a estas tierras sureñas de la península de la Baja California... ahh, ahí se respira la paz (como dice la canción #3)..!

'The woman that was born to sing', Manoella Torres, pays homage to Baja California Sur in this CD written by Conchita Bulnes.  The mariachi music of this entire CD provides a very soothing, calming effect when listening to it.  Songs (1)BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, (7)VAMONOS PARA LOS CABOS, and (9)ETCETERA, ETCETERA have a little bit more of a traditional mariachi rythm to them.  The mariachi music provides the perfect backdrop for Manoellla's unique voice.  The fact that instruments like the harp, piano, organ, and the accordeon were incorporated to several tracks give the music of this CD a distinctive touch.  Picture yourself listening to these songs in the warmth of a Baja summer afternoon fanned by the ocean breeze... ahh, as song #3 aptly says: "ahí se respira la paz" [you can breathe peace there]..!

text: Great work. It’s really hard for me to find albums that I can listen entirely without skipping. This is one of them! 🔥🔥🔥


Brought back a lot of memories. I saw them in person 30 years ago. The Continental Singers were fabulous and I think this is their greatest album.


title: Original and Refreshing

text: Fairytale is a beautiful collection of original works. Brittany Borland has a message for the world and the voice to carry it. Her songs captivated, encouraged, inspired, and challenged me.  Fairytale was given to me as a gift and I just purchased a copy for a friend (because I don't want to loan mine out)!  Well done Brittany!


title: Beautiful Melachrino

text: I love Melachrino.  This is a good album because it is two CDs worth of music.  Nice reproductions from the original master tapes.  Stereo.  They also play this on airstreamfm dot com my favorite online radio station.  Lots of Melachrino, Mancini and Mantovani.  But this is a great introductory album for Melachrino.


title: Good variety of songs

text: Loved it. A perfect gift for my mom.


title: Ill

text: Quite a bit of ill rapping from veteran hip-hoppers Psychokinetics. Embracing more of a sampledelia vibe on this new album of theirs, they stay true to their ol' skool, West Coast beats. Recalling another great underground rap clique, Hieroglyphics, they often throw the rap around from speaker to speaker, so to speak. However, they have lots of "Interludes" which do not really add to the album, so that knocks off the fifth star. Definitely high quality beats for an eclectic palate (they sample AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock" on one track).


title: Old School Merengue (Ay Mi Madre)

text: If you're old school like me and you love the basic instruments of the past and the simple but fun lyrics you'll love this LP from Conjunto Tipico Cibaeno.  Oh man groovey old school tambores I tell you I love this LP I can dance to this all night.  I'm Puertorican pero props to my Dominican brothers porque caliente son los merengueros por alla.  I highly reccomend this to people who enjoy dancing and having a good ol time the old fashion way.

text: Got home, went through old stuff and found a CD player and sat on my bed, put the CD in and felt the disc spinning [...] first song came on and goosebumps followed.  The guy had talent, won the hearts of millions of children across hundreds of countries for over 10 years.  Listened to the whole thing one by one, bit pricey but worth every penny.


title: Love it

text: Love it. Sounds great and the vinyls are gorgeous. Not gonna lie, already a huge fan of the game but that doesn't change the fact the songs are awesome!


title: Excellent Album!

text: An excellent album by a very talented artist.


title: A Great Performance and recording of Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique

text:
Berlioz: Symphony Fantastique. Zubin Mehta: New York Philharmonic Label: LONDON/DECCA (400 046-2) Stereo CD

If one is looking for a performance that highlights more of the brass side, this would be a good recording/performance to listen to. The brass is especially pronounced in the latter movements.

Some quibbles could be: one may consider it a bit of a "sacrifice" to more detail from the strings and woodwinds in some movement sections. But this is not at the expense of the music or musicality. While the style is quite brass and percussion heavy on the latter movements, the tempos/tempi and overall musical style remain faithful to the music. A refreshing interpretive style and exciting musical presentation.

I have had both the original LP pressing (later damaged) and the CD. Recorded, more than three decades ago, at a time when the New York Philharmonic had some young and powerful brass players. Mehta "takes advantage" in this interpretation style as this performance/recording will demonstrate. This is among the most powerful, heavy, full sounding brass performances of the latter movements that one will find on record.

Right from the calm opening measures, the French horn overtones briefly engulf the scene. There is an extra presence of the Trumpet melody in the second movement. Some may say too much, but it is still performed quite excellently in the sense that it remains musical, light, and bouncy with the characteristics of "A Ball." Nice Strings, Flutes, Trumpet, etc. each gets their melodic spotlight. The added touches of the Harps in this movement, played with enough prominence here, is wonderful and exquisite by Berlioz. What an orchestrator!

For the English horn aficionado, the third movement demonstrates a beautiful full-bodied thick sound during brief solos. An English horn player with a pretty powerful diaphragm and embouchure to add authoritative weight and good intonation to that sound. I was not too much into English horn, but Wow! This is the middle and slower movement where the woodwinds and strings generally get the spotlight on some delicate playing.

The fourth movement is very powerfully performed by the brass and percussion. If brass is a focus, a minor quibble here is that the Bass Trombone pedal notes/tones lack more presence and weight. It is the "sustained" bass passage while the other notes above move.

Also note that in this performance/recording there is no full repeated section in the fourth movement done (which opens/begins with the timpani, or kettledrum, sextuplets). Single pass.

The Tuba demonstrates what a huge overall "heavy, imposing, and dark mood of a" sound it can create in the fifth movement when its main solo comes along with the Bassoons/Contra-Bassoon etc. filling the entire (Avery Fisher) hall up with massive sound. Excellent. A little more (Church) Bells would have been an ultra bonus. I enjoy the added touch that Berlioz put by adding the Bells to set the tone or mood (for the Tuba and Bassoons passage) of the "dark downward plunge." What an orchestrator!

The overall interpretation of the latter movements, while heavier and more robust, is still a little more bouncy, legato-ish (sustained or extended notes), and energetic. As opposed to some more choppy and shorter staccato-ish playing styles of phrasing by some others (performances). Keeping it very musical, lyrical and flowing. Berlioz did request "large forces" by adding more musicians and this orchestra delivers the goods in this performance/recording.

This can, no doubt, serve as a good reference for brass players to listen to and study as well. If one is a brass instrument(s) lover this could be especially enjoyable too. On the non-brass side, even "reference" material for that English horn (woodwind) player sound to strive for from the third movement. There are many good players in the world. But this English horn player tends to have a more focused, solid, warm, and full-bodied English-horn sound. With or without vibrato. Amazing!

If one is looking for a lighter and more balanced interpretation, with yet more detail from the strings and woodwinds, or one is in a different mood, a good contrasting performance/recording of the "now" more modern recordings would be Robin Ticciati/Scottish Chamber Orchestra on LINN RECORDS (CKD 400) SACD Hybrid.

The link may change, but at time of posting this is the Amazon link (or one may have to search):
http://www.amazon.com/Berlioz-Symphonie-Fantastique-Beatrice-Benedict/dp/B0072IVH0K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422893620&sr=8-1&keywords=berlioz+ticciati&pebp=1422893621578&peasin=B0072IVH0K
The above should be this link: [[ASIN:B0072IVH0K Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique, Op. 14, Beatrice et Benedict]]

If you have a very good to excellent sound system (especially), these performances should be revealing. And The Major Thing is to Enjoy the different interpretations and musical performances!

Cheers!

title: Great set!

text: This was one of the records I picked up to get started on my lp collection for the turntable I (finally) bought. It's really great! Not only are the performances and recordings very high quality, but the publisher did a good job to pair pieces on each record with similar aesthetics, which makes it a great set for listening no matter what you're in the mood for. Also, I totally got lucky and picked the up at a Goodwill for 13¢! :) Be jealous!


title: Man, I already have all of this!!!

text:
Really quick and really short here.

I was hoping to hear some "street level" stuff. In other words, stuff from Pun that NO ONE has ever heard before. Some of the the "blends" are cool but, nothing THAT amazing. I have all of Pun's cds. In fact, everything from Fat Joe and the Terror Squad EXCEPT TS's "True Story."(Which I will be buying soon from here to add to my collection.) It is RUMORED that Sony MAY release some of Pun's older and never heard of material. But anyways......

If you love Pun and everything Pun like I do, get this cd, BUT, if you are expecting to hear like, an ENTIRE album of NEW stuff from Pun, you are not going to get it from here. You may have all of the same albums like me, and well, this compilation is not that far off.

I am torn. I love Pun. Best lyricist ever. But, this cd does not bring anything "new" to fans. Most of Pun's hits are here, some with different beats. But, I was just kind of dissapointed here.

The description that is used is: The Best of Big Pun: Hits and Unreleased [Mixtape]

Not that much UNRELEASED stuff. But, like I said, this may be a rare compliation with Pun's stuff on it and may not be around forever, so, I say go ahead and get it. But, it is stuff that we ALL have heard before. At least, on MOST of these tracks....

R.I.P. Big Pun.

title: A Talented Man !!!

text:
What a talented individual Joplin was, and timeless are his "rags"! I believe in the future he will be judged as a far greater success than in the present. 34 unique works are on this double set.

Like Vivaldi, most all sounds the same until you learn to appreciate them individually. Like Chopin, these works may be used for practice similar to the etudes, while still entertaining any who listen.

William Albright does a fine job relaying these tunes as a barometer for all to superceed in some way or fall short in under achieving. I can see 20 different piano players playing these pieces 20 different ways, all putting their own spin and technique on them. The best form of flattery is for others to imitate one's works.

I would love to hear these played on a harpsichord, clavichord, continuo, organ, or a piano forte at different tempos.

Thanks Scott Joplin for adding to the whole of music!!

Good day!!

I LOVE this album and idolize Rusty who has taught me so much in the last 50 years since I had this album on vinyl.

For all lovers of great R&B there is no finer !  ALL NIGHT LONG is the best version of Night Train ever !

I give thanks that it has become available again.  Dont miss it !


title: A must purchase

text: This is one of those rare CDs where you just let it play. No skipping required.


title: Odd Vinyl

text: I loved this album when I downloaded it on my phone.  But when I bought the vinyl I put it in my record player and it would skip a lot. There were visible scratches on the disk and the disk was also warped.  The only good thing that came out of this purchase was the audio CD that came with it. That actually worked.  The art work was pretty neat as well.  But this also came with a giant head of Tyler from the wolf album cover art.  This was cool except for the fact that it was bent and crumpled a little bit.  Other than the art work and the audio CD, this purchase was an utter disappointment.


title: Awesome band, awesome album

text: I've waited about two years for this album, totally worth the wait. Awesome band, awesome album! :D


title: F*cky Bellini

Ok, Joe.  I know you're holding out on us.  Time to cough up the rest of those home recordings.  I know you have some.  If I have to declare a pilgrimage and jog across the country like Forrest f*cking Gump till I reach Philly to convince you in person, then that's what I'll do.  Actually, I live in Pittsburgh so I'll just have to trek across the commonwealth, but I'll do it, I swear.  I will grow a Grisly Adams beard and develop a cult following along the way, inspiring the uninitiated and spreading the gospel according to Butterfly all across the PA turnpike.  At first we'll call ourselves "Talcumites," but we will have changed it to the "Fairweather Friends" by the time we reach the King of Prussia exit. We're coming Joe, We're coming.

Seriously, the DM's music was the soundtrack to some of the best times of my life, and these recordings don't disappoint.  Bravo, Joe


title: I gave myself very good advice and bought this album!

text: I'm not normally a fan of "Inspired By" movie soundtracks and I wasn't particularly won over by the movie itself.  But this album is one of the most fun, most listenable song collections that I've ever owned.  Shinedown's "Her Name Is Alice" is an epic masterpiece that I often find myself singing randomly when I think no one is around.  Kerli's "Tea Party" is an enjoyable piece of bubblegum pop with innocent lyrics about a tea party that nevertheless sounds like it's supposed to be about sex (because isn't all pop music really about sex?).  I'm also very fond of "Welcome to Mystery" by Plain White T's (who also did another great soundtrack song when they did "It's So Easy" from 2006's "Sound of Superman").  In short, if you're a fan of some kickass rock/pop songs with a twisted "Alice in Wonderland" theme, you will love this album!


title: Finally got a proper set

text: First time I bought this, I got a cheap knock-off that barely played. This round it was the proper, real deal and absolutely incredible. "The House of the Dead" is heatbreaking, but all of the radio dramas are well worth the listen.


title: Very helpful

text: Best cd set ever. I listen to them over and over again. I love her honesty and and that she puts it together with bible quoates.


title: Mylene Farmer and Moby together...Need I say more??

text: I was very exited about hearing this album being a great fan of both Mylene Farmer and Moby, and I must say my expectations were well met!  All of the songs are melodic, danceable, contemporary and beautiful.  Moby is an excellent producer and sonic stylist and Mylene's voice is consistently flawless.  Cool, new-prog-rockers Archive and Red One also contribute to this eclectic album.  A departure from her usual production style with Laurent Boutonnat, but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless!


title: An Angel...

text: Cecilia's album will appeal to customers who enjoy performers such as Sarah Brightman and Enya:  Beautiful, ethereal vocals over meticulous orchestration.  This album is spiritually uplifting from beginning to end.
