title: the sound of brilliant art being made

text:
Of course I have heard the songs on the albums many times. But it's amazing to hear the Beatles--sometimes just John or Paul--creating a song in a studio at a different rhythm, a different vocalizing, a different feel. It's a reminder that what is on the albums came from hard work, doing the songs over and over, trying them out in different ways, stretching for the way to do it that best captured their group sense.  The anthologies are a great complement to Geoff Emerick's book about recording the Beatles. After reading that book, one understands better that it may seem effortless on the albums but it was created by the intersection of determination, grinding effort, and remarkable musical ability. The casual way Emerick writes about "the boys and George Martin felt take 34 was the best" serves to remind one of what it means to get it right. And they did, so many times.

The live tracks are a real bonus.  Much of the time the group sounds a bit shaky, rushed, as if they were trying to stay in sync and not able to hear one another...which is the stated reason they stopped touring. With today's in-ear monitors, they probably would still be playing (look at the Who, still touring 40 years later), but it was 1965 and thousands of screaming girls made it impossible for the musicians to hear their stage sound. They did what they could until it wasn't worth it.  And, of course, there is the priceless sound of John thanking Ringo for his singing of "Yesterday" after Paul does a spot-on live solo effort.  The boys may have found this funny but it sure seems snarky in retrospect.

title: Final Quest 20 - SPOILER FREE !

text:
Its kind of a perfect series, going on from strength to strength.

Curiously, everything depends on the ending. This series comes to a close early next year with issue 24, and really, the whole series will be based on how it ends up

Now, Elfquest has never has issues with killing characters. In the original quest one of the very cool Wolfriders was killed off by a troll before getting saved by Kahvi and her crew, and it is like to be the same here. Death is a part of life, and this is crucial to the success of Elfquest. As much as you like some elves that have passed on to the palace, they don't come back

Cutter is the focus here, in Final Quest. This issue has plenty of Rayek, and Strongbow (not nearly enough Skywise!) but the focus of the series is focused on Cutter

I think it will be better to judge this series when its all said and done. Noone is really worried about it ending badly. Kings of the Broken Wheel was a peak for the series, but thats like comparing the early album Help by the Beatles to Sgt Pepper or the White Album. Its all good

If you haven't read Elfquest here - PLEASE DON'T START HERE! go to the site and read the original quest (which can be read in book as the Complete Elfquest volume 1) then move on from there (to volume 2.. to volume 3 (part color)

If you're reading Elfquest for the first time, it is probably not wise to start with Final Quest, as this ends the series

I will have to turn back to this review in February of 2018, when this series comes to a close. It all depends on the ending, Final Quest especially so


title: Time has told me - cd review - Nick Drake

text:
A very fine release, although it might be very hard to find. I picked it up some years back in the Village, though it might be out of print at this point

put out by Schoolkid Records as I recall. Most of the tracks on this double cd release come from the Tanworth in Arden 2 release

there is also a volume 2 of this release (Time has told me) with the odd BBC track played by Peel


title: Passaic River Blues - Moses Johnson

text:
Great fun!

Buzz Heavy sings on the opener (a heartwarming tale of a dog named Spike!)

Dumb fun - banging guitars, lot of yelling. My favorite song is the drinking one, but I like it a lot. Just stupid inaudible lyrics, nice and loud. The punk ethic done to its inevitable conclusion

Comes with lyrics to the last song. Credits to musicians on the release. Nice shot of Moses on the cover, and of the train tracks


title: Molly Drake cd - Nicks mum!

text:
Its, really, a lovely release

Well, you can see where Nick got it from

The songs are timeless, a voice and piano. Undoubtedly how Nick came to write his own songs later - playing them on piano then working out the open tunings for the easiest way to play them

Well worth picking up. The sound quality's fine, and the songs are just lovely (in my humble opinion)

Very highly recommended

Comes with a nice booklet with pictures of Molly, Molly with the family. A little odd to put out an album by Nicks mum, but its well worth checking out

Now if they would just put out a few more albums of outtakes from the 3 albums Nick cut, and everything would be alright!


title: Brittle Days - Nick Drake tribute cd review

text:
Terrible terrible tribute

Almost as bad as the Love/Arthur Lee tribute from the early 90s

Simply ghastly. As Nick tributes I tend to prefer the Rabbits Hat, or the Italian tribute Five Leaves Theft

But as tributes go, this is simply terrible. The only decent cover on this is by Scott Appell. He also does an excellent "Place to be" on one of his solo albums (Parhelion?)

I really hate this tribute though - the most terrible track is the attempt at "At the chime of a city clock"
Could be the worst track ever recorded, period.

That it sounds nothing like the classic Bryter Layter track is of course understood!

Very bad record!

[[VIDEOID:4bd2c3dd6482379135464194ff6c5d5d]] Undoubtedly the worst album by any of the Floyd members

If you think Opel is hard to listen to..

The songs aren't up to much, the album is dated (its got awful 80s synthesizer) and I can't imagine it will be listened to much after the first few times, due to the curiosity factor

An unmemorable album. The bloke from Fashion and the fella from Pink Floyd put this album out in the 80s, and nothing happened

Not a very good record at all. Even Wet Dream is a better album; at least that album is BLAND!


title: Bob Dylan - volume 2 of 5 - Genuine Basement Tapes

text:
I was able to buy all 5 in this series for $50 on eBay. Try there

WAY too much for a single cd, to be selling it for 100. The later volumes are better, with tracks like "I'm Not There" and "Sign on the Cross"

title: Re The Church - live dvd (Priest = Aura period)

text:
Sigh

I just love the Church. Gold Afternoon Fix, Starfish, Skins and Heart, Starfish (whoops! said that!)

Sometime Anywhere, Heyday, Priest, After everything now this, Koppes The Well..

Christ I love this band. Not all their stuff, mind, but a lot of their stuff moves me. "Warm spell" - Christ thats a good song - I think the B side to "Under the milky way" (their biggest hit Stateside)

So I'm prejudiced. I LOVE this band. I still listen to their recent material too (Louisiana is superb - thats off Baal). "Numbers" is a good track. Its not like the band isn't still writing good, moving songs.

Sigh.

So I want to like this

But its from a distance, it looks bad. I think the audio sounds alright, but I've watched this but a couple times

I guess its cool that you can go to each song - the menus set up ok

But its shot - its not pro shot. Its not fun watching. And watching it was bitterly disappointing cos this is one of my favorite bands

The audio sounds fine but the show seems audience shot, its really not fun watching

I'm sorry. I just can't recommend. I have it but I've watched it 3 times at most after watching it through. I'm deeply sorry mates - its pretty bad

I understand Kilbey's recent live dvd is good - maybe check that out instead?

title: Skip it

text:
I love Soul Asylum. I like every single other one of their releases, and downright love some of them.

This cd is chock full of boring, uninspired, defeated, depressing songs that lyrically, sonically, and emotionally sound phoned in. This is the one they put out because they had to. Skip it.


title: Rex Carroll before Whitecross

text: I am a Whitecross fan, in large part to Rex Carroll. I am always excited when I find more music Rex Carroll recorded on. So to no surprise I was excited when I found this cd. I had heard parts of a few songs on a website and thought is sounded good. However, after I recieved this CD and listened to it, I was dissapointed. While Rex of course was great, the song lyrics do not sound Christian, and are confusing; in my opinion many of the songs are boring (apart from the guitar solos)

For the past few years, the Baltimore-based Prometheus Radio Theatre has been breathing life into a neglected art form  -- original radio drama.

With a professional-caliber troupe of actors, live sound effects, original music and solid science fiction scripts, the continuing ARBITER CHRONICLES series is entertaining and satisfying.  Listen to a few episodes and you'll want to hear more.

It's a real treat to see the Prometheus gang perform live, where you can sit back, close your eyes, pretend you're listening to the radio, and let your imagination roam the stars.  Meanwhile, their recorded performances are the next best thing, starship voyages sure to be enjoyed by science fiction and radio-drama fans alike.

title: One Of The Best Albums By THE Voice

text:
If you wanted to pick a small number of albums by Frank Sinatra, that were his very best and most important, this album would be certainly in the list.

Every time I listen to this album, I hear some new nuance revealed by his unique ability to impart the meaning in a song.

You will never get tired of re-hearing this album.

In 1965, this album by Sinatra received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

EVERY song on this album is absolutely wonderful.  When I was in high school, “Hello Young Lovers” was the song that made me first notice Sinatra.  I was electrified by his feeling in the song.

Amazon’s description (some pages) does not include the song list, so here it is.

= = "The September of My Years" (Jimmy Van Heusen, Sammy Cahn) – Sinatra told Jimmy and Sammy that he needed a title track for the album, so they wrote this masterpiece.
= = "How Old Am I?" (Gordon Jenkins) – Gordon Jenkins wrote the arrangements for this album.  He had a long career as a brilliant arranger.  He only composed a few songs, but they were brilliant.  This is one of them.
= = "Don't Wait Too Long" (Sunny Skylar)
= = "It Gets Lonely Early" (Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen) – Written by the personal composers for the Chairman of the Board.
= = "This Is All I Ask" (Gordon Jenkins) – Another brilliant song composed by Gordon Jenkins, the album’s arranger.
= = "Last Night When We Were Young" (Harold Arlen, E.Y. Harburg)
= = "The Man in the Looking Glass" (Bart Howard) – This touching song is the second best song composed by Bart Howard.  How it has not been covered by numerous singers is impossible to understand.
= = "It Was a Very Good Year" (Ervin Drake) – Watch on youtube the video of Frank Sinatra recording this song.
= = "When the Wind Was Green" (Don Hunt, Henry Stinson)
= = "Hello, Young Lovers" (Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II) – Electrifying, this song was my first understanding of the art of Frank Sinatra
= = "I See It Now" (Alec Wilder, William Engvick)
= = "Once Upon a Time" (Charles Strouse, Lee Adams)
= = "September Song" (Kurt Weill, Maxwell Anderson)

title: Terrible idea

text: Why this album is a terrible idea. Most of Muse albums are either concepts albums or theme albums. To break them up and place randomly ruins much of their message or where the bands headspace was in those moments of time. In addition most of Muse albums are loaded with quality songs, they aren't like most bands who make fill in the dead space songs between a couple of quality ones. So many if their albums can be played non stop. I would day if your not a fan of Muse or just like a couple of songs but dont like their work then maybe this is for you, but if you have any desire to listen to their music save your money and buy their collection in its entirety. Hope this helps anyone considering


title: Good

text: I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. Only liked a couple songs.


title: A very unique record

text:
I wrote about this record on my blog[...]
Here is the review

What an odd record. The pointillism on the cover, the white vinyl, no information on the back. Only six songs, more like an EP. I'm not sure why someone would have bought this in the first place. Munson is actually Art Munson, who according to his website has worked with an impressive list of performers, Dick Dale and the Del-tones, Cher, Billy Joel, and John Lennon. I could not guess what type of music would be on this based on that list. I could not find any reference to this album except on Art Munson's website where he says he has been asked if he was on drugs when he made it.

I put the needle down and was greeted with the first track, "Driven to the Point of Abstraction"and was totally surprised by audio snippets followed by a blast of electronic music. I'm not sure if this was sampling other music or just some majorly distorted keyboards and vocals. Thankfully there was a lyric sheet but no instrumentation or band members were listed. I am guessing Art Munson did it all. I was excited to listen to the rest of the album because this first track really surprised me.

Unfortunately, the rest of the album does not live up to the standards of the opening track except for the closing track "OO-DY-KOO-KOO-DAI", which continually chants the songs title behind lyrics that were probably created from one of those poetry magnet sets you put on your fridge. Lines like take a shower with a couch, Put a leopard in your hair, squeeze a cup of tea with a feather in your mouth all sound like drug induced hallucinations or the incoherent ramblings of a street person. It was very strange but held my interest.

The other four songs were not nearly as memorable but were all interesting. I'm not quite sure what each song was about but I think one was about futuristic lovemaking, and another was about a private eye from the future.

If you come across this, I would recommend picking it up for a small price. I wouldn't spend big bucks on it, but a dollar or two seems reasonable.


title: solid buy for Records' fans

text: was holding off on this one waiting for a price drop or the opportunity to hear samples - jumped in when i saw where the proceeds were going - glad i did - music is excellent - terrific tribute


title: Who buys CD’s?

text: I did for my Dad. Sure, he can play Paul Harvey on online platforms but now he owns a collection that he can listen to in his truck or on the porch. And thats….the rest of the story!


title: Not Worth It

text: I have just about every Floyd CD. I got a great price on this, thought I'd give it a spin, since it had been a long time since I had heard it. Well, I guess this is good for a Floyd fanatics, but I'll take a hard pass on this. Don't worry to much if it ain't in your collection, you won't miss it.

title: Raw, Beautiful, and Authentic

text: This album is my introduction to progressive rock, somehow I missed that boat having a preference for classical. I gravitated to it because of its idealistic themes like in the songs: I am the Universe; The Human Heart; and Welcome to Reality. There are sensitive and beautiful classical-like passages that flow into epic rock. The whole album has as raw authenticity and I believe it is self-published, which is the way of the future--not the slick, over-polished, and commercial pop music. I am delighted to have it in my music library!


title: Still relevant!

title: A VIP must!

text:
It shipped the same day I ordered it. It came in a small package (bubbled wrapped to the max). It was perfect, no damages and I got a bonus Taeyang photo card not from the Rise album. It also came with two good size posters (23.5"x16.5"(inch) = 60x42 cm), sadly the posters came folded. I would have preferred them rolled up in a poster tube.

All in all, I've very satisfied with my purchase. A must have for any VIP and if you're not into Kpop, you may love this album either way!

text: TWICE's first album, THE STORY BEGINS, is a masterpiece. I have no idea why people let it flop. All the songs are complete bops and the pictures inside are beyond beautiful. It comes with a baby picture of a member and it is the best thing any kpop group has ever offered in their album. I couldn't be more happy and proud of my girls. TWICE FIGHTING! ONCE FIGHTING!

title: Comprehensive compilation

text: Representative of the times two-cd set without straying off the U.S. Top-40.  Perfect for an Eighties-themed party.<br />Notable for the inclusion of "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant who somehow has kept his music off almost every other compilation, probably by repurchasing his publishing rights, if not his masters.  (The "Killer on the Rampage" CD, on which Electric Avenue originally appeared, is also out of print.)  Usually isolated hits by other artists appear on compilation after compilation.

title: Outstanding music. Product in good condition

text: I already had one very good CD from the Hear Music Series. I saw this one available at a good price and finally decided to get it. The CD arrived with the case and the CD in excellent condition and the CD played perfectly.  I was completely unfamiliar with all of the songs except one cover that was done, so I had to listen to the CD several times to really get to appreciate it. Several of the songs are good and easy to listen to. The remaining songs really reached home and I was very impressed by the writing and the outstanding presentation. Happy to now have this CD in my collection.


title: Great Music from an Amazing Writer and Performer

text: I once had this album on vinyl when it was first released. It did not disappoint back then and it does not disappoint now. Tremendous talent and wonderful aesthetics. The music provides the feeling and concept of open space and tranquility, which is a different feel compared to many other artists and styles of music. I won't claim that everyone will enjoy this music, but those that do are in for a treat when they have the opportunity to listen to it. I recommend repeated listening to this one in order to get the full grasp of the artistic communication being presented here.

title: DVD is Not a Film of the Concert

text: Buyer beware, read this before buying the CD/DVD package.  First let me say that the recorded sound  of this concert is very good. The musical sound  is clear and no muddiness even on the somewhat extended jams of "Cowgirl in the Sand" and "Down by the River."  Also, this live version of "Everybody Knows this is Nowhere" is stunning and perhaps...untouchable ! The recorded sound on both the CD and the DVD seems identical, and is equal in clarity, power and tenacity. The recording is really kind of astounding given it was done in a live setting. Turn up the volume, close your eyes and you might think you are at The Fillmore East. The recorded sound of this concert is of studio quality with good separation among the instruments though the piano sound is buried.  All the magic that sometimes comes in a live performance was captured here. This CD is as good or better than any Neil Young Crazy Horse material out there.  However as good as the CD is, the DVD is an unnecessary sham so think twice before you waste your time and money on the CD/DVD package. I was very disappointed with the DVD because I thought I would be viewing live concert footage from the show. Instead  of live footage of the band playing, this DVD is simply a rotation of still life photographs from the performance which fade in and out with the music from the show. Personally, I feel incredibly scammed by the DVD portion of this package and am surprised that Young in any kind of conscience would authorize the release of a DVD like this. My opinion is, this DVD is basically worthless and a pathetic, misleading marketing ploy.  Keep in mind the cover of the package notes; "Neil Young Performance Series".  There is no live performance of NY & CH on this DVD just photographs.I

text: This compilation of the great Bo Diddley is here in extensive form. Really dynamic, inectous and a whole lotta fun !!!


title: I Bought it for one song but got more...

text: I basically bought this CD for one song "Wildfire"  but it has several gems such as JD Souther's "You're only Lonely", and Merle Haggard& George Jones doing a classic "CC Waterback", There were several good songsbon this CD but I was introduced to a Byrds song called "Just a Season" on this CD I'd never heard it before and I played it endlessly for days. Really it is a Roger McGuinn thing more than a Byrds. His 12 string is just incredible on this cut. I have since heard the album version of this same song on a Byrds CD but it is nowhere as clean a recording as it is on this disc "Country Rock."  BTW I don't know why all the copies of this disc on Amazon were around $20. while this one was $4 or 5 dollars plus shipping. I am very happy with this CD even though I  don't like everything on it, but what I do like... I really like.


title: It works

text: I love music.  I am not a musician just a lifelong listener.  I was skeptical of this CD as I own so much good music, although non of it scientifically geared towards mood.  Anyway, it works.  It does do something to my brain that puts me in a relaxed and happy mood.  Amazing. Thank you for making this CD. :)

Christina , I believe, has done it again. Yet another hit. However you can only listen to this song so many times before you get annoyed by her voice. Don't get me wrong Christina has an awsome voice, it's just like with most female singers that pitch high notes, one can only take so much.

Be aware this CD of Ain't no other man has only two tracks. The actual song and instrumental. Still worth buying if you are a fan of Christina's music!

text: This was a Christmas gift for my mother from her grandson. Its a good gift to help her to remember The Beatles. My parents are going to England this spring, so this is a great gift.


title: BEST CD EVER!!!!

text:
THIS IS THE BEST CD I HAD EVER SUNK MY EARS INTO!!!!!
TREAT YOURSELVES TO STEVEN CARRS LUSCIOUS VOCALS!!!!!

BEST CD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


title: Ethereal, passionate and smoooooth.....

text: This is one of those albums where all the songs are great.  The vocals are amazing....songs like Mother and Ruins are soft and bluesy then abruptly brash and forthcoming. The lyrics capture your attention.  The beats are well mixed and flow well throughout the song....I especially liked the deep bass lines in Primeval.<br />Grab a copy of this mezmerizing CD!


title: This tape is rare!

text: Well, I collect cassette tapes, especially very obscure ones. And this is one of them. I heard this on a tape deck review on YouTube, and this artist really intrigued me. So, I found it on Apple Music Two years ago.<br />So, I found it on Apple Music that year,  and it disappeared this year. So, I wanted to see if there was another format besides CD, and I found a cassette tapes. And I love it!


title: I love this amazing album!

text: I had to get this amazing album, because all the streaming  services do not  have the  album  anymore. And, I have  the CD  version and the tape version  super rare now!


title: Cassette tape in best condition!

text: The tape sounds brand new! It brings back memories of childhood!<br />Thank you so much!

title: Weak, Pathetic

text:
Skip it. This program unsuccessfully fuses a pretty insufferable live program and a much older studio recording. At his best Rohn was quick to make snide unsympathetic comments. At his worst, he's an insecure little man with a chip on his shoulder. Of course now that he's dead, we're supposed to regard him as a saint. I spoke with him once in the mid 1990's. I found him shockingly unimpressive.

Rohn was supposed to be a "business philosopher" (huh?), but in a 2009 obituary, Dan Kennedy says this: "Jim was not much of a success in business, and twice, that I know of, went bust. Once, from very high-flyin', with offices in a number of cities, private jet, etc. ..." That's odd. What sort of self-appointed business philosopher is that? Isn't a business philosopher supposed to know about business? Seems to me that's like a relationship expert that's been married 5 times, or like a health nut who's always sick...

Even if you're a fan of this guy, the program is a patched together rag bag. Nightengale Conant appears to be trying to milk a few bucks out of some archive material; it belongs in the rubbish bin, it's nothing but trash.


title: The Best of Rohn's Recordings

text:
Often people overwork their material and end up ruining it. Stephen Covey's later 7 Habits audio material isn't as good as the early '90's versions.I always thought this was the best Jim Rohn program out there. It was early on, so it's tightly presented and stays on track. But the material is superior here - outlined precisely. His presentation is compelling.

In later live recordings, he's very flippant and tries too hard to entertain. The routine can get tiresome and downright trying at times; particularly when, to stress a word, he knowingly uses that trick of emphasizing the wrong syllable and then whining the word out like a screeching magpie. And the later live work is poorly organized, compared to this.

Rohn empathizes here. In later work he seems to ridicule and rub his success in people's faces; a smart-aleck, put-down approach. When people are in pain, they don't want to be scolded. Here the tone is measured, proper.

I met Rohn once, in the late 1990s. He was smug, almost imperious. I'll just bet he was more approachable and friendly around the time this was recorded. Who knows...


Another excellent CD from an excellent band!


title: A Gift Never Opened

text:
Barney GreenE was a  great pianist, who in spite of childhood poverty and no access to a piano in youth, managed to overcome obstacles and become a phenomenon at the piano. As an adult he joined a big band. He later formed his own big band but was drafted into the army and  forced to give up his band, his dream. When he returned to civilian life, he performed in hotels and fine night clubs. And made a record, Piano by Starlight.

The record does not begin to reflect the mastery of his keyboard skills. According to my father, the producer insisted that the record reflect dinner or mood music. My Dad relinquished his technical wizardry for what was popular at the time, the excessively bland, souless, mood music. And he was forced to play with a bass player and a percussionist, when he was strictly a soloist. He fought against the trio but he had no artistic decision-making powers. He was confined to the rules of a producer that resulted in artistic rigidity.

He was a magnificent pianist but it will forever remain a secret. This is his only album. He was so disenchanted with its outcome, the product off a producer who stifled him in the pursuit of profit. Such an irony. Given full reign, my father's record could have made a profit. It didn't.

 He never cut another album.

 But he didn't need an album. He had a multitude of followers who loved his unfettered talent.

Listen to an album and imagine the potential of a man who exhibits, on occasion, the glimmers of mastery.


title: Excellent audio Blu-Ray

text: Loved it, the 5.1 mix is great, and the sound is incredibly clear. I agree with a previous poster - Parsons needs to do this with all the other APP albums!

title: Awesome sauce

text: Very tasty.


title: I like record

title: Not as advertised

text: What I received was a sloppily packed copy of the ordinary Legacy edition of the LP. I was not as advertised the Limited  Edition of Record Store Day 2014. This LP is readily bought elsewhere for $18.00. Rip off! Do not buy


title: Ok

title: Get In Shape

text: I love this CD because it is perfect for exercise and walking.


title: I love this collection

text: I love this collection, but ... NO COMPOSERS!  These (turn of the 20th Century) pieces are extra obscure too.


title: Beautiful/Powerful

text: This is my favorite version of this piece. Cyprien Katsaris masters the feel of the passages with style and soul. If you like/love this piece as do I, and haven't heard this rendition on solo piano, I highly recommend checking it out! ...


title: Very good

text: Gale is Colombia in salsa music. Very good CD


title: Five Stars

text: Sounds awesome, great mix.  Plus, the video comic book of the album is great.  Long live Rush!


title: An evocative imagist at the height of her powers

text:
It's been 15 or 20 years since I first heard the poem “With Him and Max’s Solo” read aloud (without music), so I gave it a good listen on Lisa B’s "Reverberant: Poems & Music" – more than once, actually. I love the cascade of imagery on the track: Max Roach as a musical griot, and the nightclub standing in for a slave ship (“the hull of the jazz club” –  brilliant).

Then Max's role as interpreter of that diaspora takes over the poem. By the end, with his drum kit “talking the beginning of the world,” Lisa B has taken us on a journey, from one performance at a nightclub to a vision of Max Roach, a jazz messenger enlisted in the long train of drummers of time immemorial.


title: Weezer Best Of... So Far

text: Excellent collection of Weezer's hits! Nice addition of the DVD with Weezer music videos!


title: The Greatest Band that Ever Lived

text: Seeing how these guys are my favorite band of all time, I'm a little biased.  But, despite that, they do have an amazing sound and they are great people on top of it.  I met them at one of their concerts and they're the nicest guys I've ever met.  There's brothers Paulie Z and David Z (David is my favorite, he also plays for the Trans Siberian Orchestra for their winter tours in the East) who play guitar and bass respectively and then there's the drummer, Joey Cassata.  They are all amazing musicians and they come together beautifully in their debut album, Tuesdays and Thursdays.  I recommend buying a copy and spreading the word, these guys are great in every aspect and they deserve your fandom.


title: Five Stars

text: I love exo thank you so much the quality is amazing and arrived just in time!

title: Four Stars

text: Only like three or four songs but pretty good.


title: Classic Christian Rock with Intelligent Lyrics

text: The second album by the Christian rock band Prodigal was their best. From the thunderous opening of "Scene of the Crime," the album charges forth with infectious and well played music. The lyrical content of the album as a whole is not the typical "you're going to hell if you don't accept Jesus" lyrics of some Christian bands. It's more about living in the modern world but viewing it from a spiritual perspective. The album has no weak tracks and is well executed and produced. I understand that band member Loyd Boldman now has the original master tapes so let's hope we see a CD reissue of this fantastic album soon. The third album, "Just Like Real Life," which was the band's final album, moved too much in a new wave direction and thus lost some of the rock punch of this second and essential album by Prodigal. Search collector's sites or ebay for a copy of this fine release.


title: Willa Rox!

text: I absolutly adore this CD!  One of my best friends turned me on to Willa and I can't get enough!  She is so cool and I recently saw her in concert and was even more impressed with her.  She really cares about her fans and she has a great talent not only as a singer and dancer but also as a song writer!  Her sound is different from Britney and Willa really sets herself apart from the rest by writing almost every single song thats on the album.  Wait to go, Willa!  Keep up the good work!


title: Russian Missa Solemnis

text: This is a Laserlight rerelease of the Beethoven Missa Solemnis with Rudolf Barshai conducting all Russian forces.  It is currently the only Missa Solemnis that I know.  I am biased in a positive way towards Russian performers.  I think that they do a convincing job here, but I wouldn't doubt that there are better versions out there.  I give this four stars as my personal testimony of how convincing the music making is here.  This would definitely be under the obscure bargain category of Beethoven, but it suits me just fine.


title: Janacek Beyond Sinfonietta

text:
This CD has some curious orchestral music of Janacek.  Taras Bulba is a symphonic poem in three movements.  Here is it played above average and if you don't already have the coupling of Mackerras Sinfonietta and Taras Bulba it makes a good addition to any collection.  The other three pieces are more rarely recorded.  Fiddler's Child, the overture to Jealously, and music to the Cunning Little Vixen round out the CD.  They all seem to have been born of the common link of Janacek's language.  If this music were from any different time I would say that it would make for good film music.  The pieces are distinctive enough to differentiate themselves, but only gather modest interest from my ears.  This is a good add on to any Janacek collection if you don't already have the operas, but were interested in what Janacek's opera music sounded like.

I give the CD a five for effort.  This is music that should be heard and evaluated by more ears than mine.  That is why I am recommending it.


title: A Great Brahms 1st Symphony of Subtle Power

text:
Ilan Volkov was an unknown name for me as conductor on this CD.  The main work is Brahms 1st symphony.  Volkov is neither sappy nor sentimental in his reading of the work.  It is a reading that is detailed and intelligent.  It has a quiet power to it.  It is as if a great conductor of the past was resurrected to conduct the Brahms 1st in modern times.  I usually have the most affection for the first and last movements.  But Volkov gives great attention to even the second and third movements.  The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra play as good as the Vienna Philharmonic or the Berlin Philharmonic.  It is that good.  I recommend this for anyone who needs a recording the Brahms 1st both newbie and old timer alike.

I am not familiar with the Schumann Faust Overture, but Volkov seems to give it his best effort.  It is played in a way that makes it sound like an early Romantic piece.  The Eisler Kliene Sinfonie ends the CD.  It sound like a work of Weill or Krenek.  It is jazzy and atonal at the same time.  It is almost serial at times to my ear.  It is a big contrast coming right after the Brahms 1st symphony.  It is almost as big of a contrast as Leonard Slatkin's CD with Varese's Arcana and Holst's Planets on the same CD.

I recommend this CD to anyone just for the Brahms 1st symphony alone.  Five Stars is a no brainer this time.


title: Shostakovich's last symphony played rather than interpretted

text: Rozhdestvensky has a certain way about himself with a few Shostakovich symphonies.  Shostakovich's most enigmatic personal yet public work probably was a challenge for him.  His approach for the 15th symphony seems to be take it as it comes and then the bigger picture will be revealed.  He doesn't flinch here.  Even when it comes to the Rossini William Tell quote on trumpet.  The percussion battery is even more powerful here with the 100 centimeter side drum!  He zips through the 1st and 3rd movements as he should and let's the slow movements linger, but still are well paced.  Mravinsky and Kondrashin are no match for Rozhdestvensky.  Those two other conductors try to impose their will and personalities on the piece too much.  Rozhdestvensky shows respect to Shostakovich and the result is success.


title: O.K. Berg and Outstanding Schoenberg!

text:
I bought this CD for the Berg Violin Concerto which is pretty good compared to Anne-Sophie Mutter.  But really no one can touch Mutter's performance with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under James Levine.  If price is a consideration which it might be then considering this version is much cheaper than Mutter it might, just might, be worth getting.  But why have a Ford Fiesta when you can have a Lexus?  I already had the Mutter and was just "sport" shopping when I got this version with Leonidas Kavakos and Andrew Davis.  I would give the nod to Mutter, but would say that the best reason to get this CD is still to come.

The real surprise on this CD is Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht performed by BBC Symphony Orchestra under Donald Runnicles.  This Transfigured Night is not the usual syrupy mess that alot of conductors make it.  Instead it is vibrant, driven, and shapely.  Runnicles manages to be quite the architect in Schoenberg's late 19th century effort revised for strings.  Sometimes I qualify a CD by trying to average out everything.  That would be a big mistake here.  This work alone is so well interpreted and played that it raises the value of the whole CD to five stars.


title: A Mravinsky "Best Buy" of Shostakovich

text:
I had the complete edition from which this recording is from.  The sound has been cleaned up so that there is minimal hiss.

Basically you are getting two solid performances of Shostakovich, but neither is his best although they are very good.  Mravinsky with the 6th tends to rush through the Largo although not as bad as Kondrashin.  His very famous student Mariss Jansons does the same thing if you are familiar with his 6th.  Mravinsky had a great 10th on the Saga label although the sound was pretty bad and it was in MONO.  He shows that he is one of the few Russian conductors to really get this symphony.

So what is the problem then?  Mravinsky's examples as good as they seem to be are not as tight as I would like to hear them.  The CD is a good buy squeezing just about every minute available it is close to 80 minutes long.

If you don't know Mravinsky, then this is a great introduction to his Shostakovich.

Yes, there are many versions of his 5th.  It is easy to review the 5th of Shostakovich concerning Mravinsky...just pick the earliest recorded version you can find and usually that will be the best one!


title: Do Not Pass This By...You Will Grow In Christ

text: Want to give your life over to the Lord and wonder just how to go about doing it?  The key word is "abide."  Although this classic work doesn't completely state that it sure tells the need to do that in different terms.  Surrender is correct...you cannot truly serve the Lord and the things you love at the same time, some may argue that you can.  One has to be cut and the other will grow.  We can have hobbies and such but loving anything or anyone above the Lord will leave you at the alter of worshipping anything other that the Lord Himself.  This is for the Christian who really wants a closer walk with Christ.  Listen deeply to its truths and you will find yourself thinking more about Jesus throughout the day than most anything can.  Remember when you were saved? This will bring you back to the day when you first fell in love with Jesus.


title: Excellent CD for Christmas

text: Holiday time at Christmas.  Found this on a cassette about 20 years ago.  Found Awesome CD  I have played this every Christmas and reordered when it gave out.  Cannot find it now (sad).


title: Enjoy outdoors with a cup of coffee

text: A wonderful early album by David Benoit that was published at a time when CD music publishing  was still fairly new. I remember searching for CDs which were recorded as all digital “DDD” listed on the jacket. This is a difficult and expensive CD to get now. The song “Land of the Loving” was used by us as our wedding song 30 years ago. This is a truly wonderful jazz album which you will enjoy if you can find it.

title: The best album since Sgt. Pepper!

text: Robah once again crosses all of the boudaries of modern musical style and delivers an at once powerful, yet masterful combination of innovatively emotional lyrics and almost naturally skillful acoustics on Sleeper Hit.  A must own for any true fan of the musical arts.


title: Beware what you're buying!

text: Product is being represented as STOCK FOOTAGE but it's an audio cd of a hardcore alternative rock band. I thought I was buying a cd of stock footage video clips but it's an audio cd of 6 songs!


title: Excellent!  Recommended to Lounge or Bossa Nova/Jazz Lovers

text: I really enjoy ALL the tracks on this collection!  I've just recently been listening to more Bossa Nova and this album is a great collection, it has introduced me to great artists who I'm looking into more now!  Not one bad track on the entire album!  If you like Sade, or Nouvelle Vague, or Jazz Fusion blends, you'll love this!

title: Frank Zappa's  Zapped

text: This album is not only rare for the aspect of the only recording of "Govenor Slingwell Slugwell". It also features the GTO'S.The Girls Together Outrageously. I think they may have been Zappa-Beefheart groupies but at least they got to sing and they do pretty well for the silly of it all.Beefheart's song"The Blimp" about Zappa's nose is just wonderful and in 1971 or '72,it was my introduction to all of these bands which have been a focus of my vinyl collection since.I heartly recommend it for the Zappa, et al first experience.

title: Awesome Work Tortelvis at His Best

text: Dread Zeppelin combines expert musician perfomrance with creativity and a bit of humor...you will not be disappointed


title: Quite The Let Down

text: I thought this was going to an amazing collection of 90s hits especially considering it was made by Now and their other compilations are so good, well I was quite let down and this was not even close to being any good. I understand it's the UK version and not made by US Now team but still, if this is what the 90s was like musically in the UK then I'm glad I grew up in the US. The second CD in the set is the only one worth listening too and even that one has some songs on it that make you go "huh??". Which is a major problem throughout, you'll hear a good recognizable 90s song such as Breakfast At Tiffany's and then the next few songs will be crappy slow songs that nobody has ever heard. One more thing, Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers is in here and that song was released in 1966. I understand it became popular again in the 99s from some movie but that doesn't make it a 90s song. Anyway, don't get me wrong there are some really good songs on here but there's more bad, boring songs that nobody wants to listen to and that is reason enough to just stay away from this.  Trust me, not listening to this will be your best decision and you'll be doing yourself a favor.

I was first exposed to the music of Jose Alfredo Jimenez at a Christmas party, and returned the following day to beg the host for a mixtape cassette.  I listened to it for years, then with conversion to CDs, and then iTunes, I was left without it.
Now, there is this comprehensive release of the original versions I fell in love with.  I have been waiting decades for this.  The recording quality is pristine.  The beauty and the heart rending emotive quality of the performances captured on the DVD are utterly astounding.
This music is the work of a man who lived and loved and suffered.  It is a pure expression of the triumph of art--- of the ability of the artist to reach out across time and space and touch the heart, and the soul--- of the music appreciator.  This is what art is for, and this artist's music is a very profound encapsulation of all that.
The emotion expressed in Sr. Jimenez's music is raw, and deep, and pure, and genuine.
The emotion expressed in his music transcends all boundaries.
This is some of the greatest music the world has ever produced.
Get ready for a major cry-fest.


title: Awesome album

text: Love love love this album! I've been listening to it every morning on my way to work and it always puts me in a great mood.


title: Best birthday gift i've ever received!

text: I received "Lateness of the Hour" as a birthday gift from my mom, probably because i'd been raving to her for weeks about how good this singer Alex Clare was. She had never heard of him but now she's hooked too! I love the mix of his classic voice with a little bit of dubstep. It's pure genius!

by chance I saw a youtube video from this tour . I have been collecting Gary Moore material for over 10 years . Ordered it . I am very happy to have it .

title: To Cut a Long Story Short, won't blow your mind but still highly desirable

text:
“We made a album that belonged to us, that we enjoyed making” says Gary Kemp of Through the Barricades. Spandau Ballet’s fifth album certainly represented a departure in at least two key respects: it was their first album for CBS/Epic, having split with Chrysalis, and Gary Langan was drafted in as producer in place of Jolley and Swain.

Change can be revivifying but at the time Through the Barricades was critically mauled as a step backwards in relation to the glory days of True and Gold, and commercially it didn’t ring the cash registers to anything like the same degree; the title track, inspired by the Troubles and commonly regarded as the album’s strongest track, peaked at 6 in the UK singles chart, with Fight for Ourselves and How Many Lies peaking at 15th and 34th respectively.

Critics, like Dan LeRoy, argued that the problem lay in Spandau’s aiming for anthemic stadium rock in their writing whilst the production resolutely refused to open the throttle.

In theory you can now decide for yourself by listening to the re-released Through the Barricades (and watching the specially commissioned documentary), except that you can’t really because Gary Langan has remastered the original material, so what you’re hearing now differs from what was heard in 1986.

There is, nevertheless, a very substantial inducement to buy in the form of seven bonus tracks, including a demo of the title track; an extended version of Cross the Line previously only issued in Spain; an instrumental version of How Many Lies?; a previously unreleased version of Fight … the Heartache (the B side to Fight for Ourselves); and 12-inch versions of the three singles.

The final judgment? Spandau fans have plenty of reason to give thanks, whilst acknowledging that this isn’t Spandau at their very best.


title: The Portuguese connection

text:
Hitherto the strongest link between Portugal and the music of David Bowie has been Brazilian Seu Jorge’s beautful adaptations in Portuguese of several Bowie songs for Wes Anderson’s 2004 film ‘The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou’ but now, in ‘Bowie 70 – A Tribute by David  Fonseca and Friends’, we have Fonesca producing an entire album of Bowie covers performed in English by himself and twelve more of Portugal’s top musicians.

Despite the album cover visually echoing that of ‘Ziggy Stardust’ only Starman (complete with children’s chorus) comes from that particular album. The other tracks range over Bowie’s entire career, from Space Oddity to Lazarus and stick pretty closely to his hits, as they also include Absolute Beginners, Modern Love, Let’s Dance, Life on Mars? Blue Jean, Fame, Heroes, This is Not America, the Man Who Sold the World, and Where Are We Now?

The arrangements are always interesting. Sometimes they work very well (notably Absolute Beginners and Let’s Dance, the latter sounding like a Bryan Ferry cover), sometimes less so (the singer for Life on Mars sounds reminiscent of Demis Roussos and mangles the word ‘Norfolk’).

Bowie completists and those who crave novelty may enjoy the entire album but I’d personally recommend purchasing the particular tracks which appeal, of which there are likely to be several. The whole project certainly seems to have been undertaken with a genuine love for the originals, along with a desire not merely to replicate them.


title: Fabulous Album from the 70's

title: What an Easter Egg - an entire concert on DVD included!

text:
Though the Amazon description only calls it an audio CD, before buying I looked closely at the cover art to see it was a DVD & CD set of a live 2006 concert from Melbourne, Australia.  And indeed, that's what you get, the DVD content in beautiful color and wide screen, in 5.1 or 2 track stereo mixes.  This review is of the DVD, I haven't even listened to the CD yet.

Tim Finn, Neil Finn, Noel Crombie, Malcolm Green, Nigel Griggs, and Eddie Rayner look mature - and, maybe slightly mad as well - thanks to Noel's costuming for this tour.  I like a band with a uniform: the Beatles in suit and tie, the Ramones in jeans and leather jackets, and the Enz in whatever chaotic fabric Noel could concieve of.  This time I think it's sofa upholstery with white piping, which brings to mind perhaps Mozart or colonial English apparel - never mind, it's gorgeous.

Tim leads off the concert with Shark Attack, followed by Poor Boy; Neil then takes lead on One Step Ahead, but his voice sounds ragged. His voice improves to it's usual sweetness by the time he sings Strait Old Line, but before that the band pounds through Nobody Takes Me Seriously, Eddie's lovely instrumental Double Happy, Neil's still-slightly-hoarse-voiced Message to My Girl, Tim's Dirty Creature, followed by Stuff and Nonsense, and Matinee Idyll.  Eddie's prelude Pioneer transitions to Six Months in a Leaky Boat - that segue moment sent a chill up my spine.  Neil's pop classics I Got You and What's the Matter with You? are brilliantly performed, and the frenzied Enz signature tune I See Red finish the set.  The movie-style video then takes us behind the set for a quick break, where it's revealed Eddie's probably had enough grog for the evening, the band then returns for the first encore.

I Hope I Never is sung by Tim with all the heart-wrenching emotion from the instant he wrote it.  While Tim usually performs a bit of comedy with his singing, it all comes out on Bold as Brass.  Everyone gets into the act, with Neil and Eddie staging some mock rivalry in a frisbee-throwing contest.  Tim then brings us into a lengthy My Mistake, eventually asking each band member if he's made any mistakes.  I'll not reveal the answers here!  The second encore arrives with Neil's Take a Walk, then Tim on Charlie, and it all finishes with Neil's History Never Repeats.

I've only one minor complaint, there are some out-of-sync moments between the video and audio, but unless you are way too picky, it shouldn't spoil it all for you.  There are a lot of pleasures.  The backdrops are splendid and seem three dimensional.  Noel plays spoons on Matinee Idyll, and the sound is so crisp and clear, I'm wondering how they were able to mike up the spoons??  Also, Noel seems to have a bottomless bag of percussion instruments that add so much to the ambience and rythyms of the songs.  Noel, both the madman and, I think, the rock-solid foundation of the band.  Nigel's powerful bass groove is prominently featured on most of the band's classic pop hits, and they are here as well.

If an Enz fan, you won't go wrong with this DVD even at the steep price.  A couple of thoughts came to mind while watching, as the boys are getting up there in years, I wonder if they could sit down and write new songs specifically for Split Enz - you know, while they have this chance and are in good health.  Another thought, always the innovators, maybe they could devise a 3-D concert DVD, about the only way this could be made better.

title: One Half of a Great Ride

text:
This is Part One of a two disc bootleg set from Roger Waters' 1984 Hitchhiking tour recorded June 17 in Stockholm, Sweden.  This first CD includes:
  1) Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
  2) Money
  3) If
  4) Welcome to the Machine
  5) Have a Cigar
  6) Wish You Were Here
  7) Pigs on the Wing, part one
  8) In the Flesh
  9) Nobody Home
  10) Hey You

 The second CD (not offered here) has all of The Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking album in order plus "Brain Damage" & "Eclipse" for an encore (the lable only lists them together as "Brain Damage", but they are both included).  It's a pity, too, because the second CD is the better of the two halves, although there is an outstanding guitar solo by Clapton on "Nobody Home".  Clapton, incidently, is absolutely brilliant and would be reason alone to buy this album, however the price here for the one CD is a bit steep in my opinion.  Try E-Bay first, where they're both available for $14 as of this review date.  Stylistically, Waters arrangements and approach are straight from Pink Floyd's 1977 Animals Tour, and have a freshness and bite that are missing---no doubt due to age and inactivity---from his recent In the Flesh Live CD.  Not that that Album was bad, mind you, it's just that this one is that GOOD.  This is a much harder to find European release (Hence the $50 price tag) without liner notes or CD labels.  There is just a track listing plus a list of Musicians:

[Roger Waters (lead vocals/bass guitar), Eric Clapton (lead guitar), Mel Collins (sax), Michael Kamen (keyboards) Andy Newmark (drums), Chris Stanton (Keyboards/bass guitar), Tim Renwick (bass guitar), Doreen Chanter & Katie Kissoon (b-Vox)].

This might be the only chance you'll ever get to hear Waters sing the lead vocal on "Money"---he does a great job in my opinion, bringing out it's scabrousness in a way that Gilmour never could....Later in the tour he would replace himself with an uncredited singer.

One last thing: The Complete Hitchhiking Performance, another 2 CD set from the same tour, is also out there somewhere (I found my copy on E-Bay) with several more songs like "The Gunners Dream", "Get Your Filthy Hands off My Desert", "Southampton Dock", "Another Brick in the Wall, part I", "The Happiest Days of our Lives", "Another Brick in the Wall, part II" and a slightly different set list order.  All in all, a great ride to listen to on those long Interstate trips in the middle of Oklahoma...Kansas...or Wyoming.  Go fishing, my boy.

title: Poor quality production

text: This release pretty much tracks Same Cooke's singles as you can see from his discography on WikiPedia.  However, the glaring omission of Blue Moon, one of his best known songs, is a serious shortcoming.  The production quality on this collection is very low, including incorrect song titles on several of the songs including a typographical error on the last track ("Frankie and Johnnyv").  Again, compare to the singles discography on WikiPedia for the correct song titles.

title: Character-driven western saves big action for the third act

text: A secret agent/gunfighter for the US Cavalry is ordered on a wild goose chase to keep him away from an inevitable showdown with a brutal killer, who takes it out on the town instead. The plot takes its time establishing well-rounded, sympathetic characters, which pays off later. Like most "there and back" plots, Able Gate returns with more than he bargained for, this time in the form of a pregnant white woman who was raised by the Sioux. Returning to a ruined town, Able is forced to hunt down the killer and exact justice. The action is slow getting started, but the work going into developing the characters is rewarded. Able Gate starts off as a protagonist with very little agency--even when he kills someone in self-defense, both the intent and the action are down-played, ostensibly to make him seem less violent. But by the third act, his capacity for mayhem is well-proven. All the loose ends are tied up, but there's still an ambiguity about the characters that makes it feel like life for them will go on after we've finished reading. Hirt is a well-established western writer with a couple of series under his gun belt. Rather than just pound out formulaic actioners, he creates vivid and original characters, while still hitting all the tropes. The narration is outstanding.

This immediately became my favorite album of the year, without a doubt. Every song is worth listening to over and over.

title: "Some Assembly Required"

text:
To my surprise and shame, this kit is NOT guaranteed to save your marriage. In fact, some home assembly is required. If your good-for-nothing ex won't help you build the "kit", you're headed straight for the cleaners in divorce court!

Bob's method is to sing songs that will make people to do the right thing. That's why he sings "How to Have a Happy Marriage" and "Are You Old Enough?" If you listen to Bob, you'll get the point. Unfortunately my low-down ex-wife Tammy wouldn't listen. Most times I put the record on, she laughed and told me to go back in my basement cage. Sometimes she didn't laugh and was real mean about it. "How would you like an empty food dish tonight, record boy?", Tammy would say before calling Donnie on the phone to arrange a date.

This record might have repaired our marriage if the songs were more specific. For example, Bob's next album should include the following tracks:

- "Think Twice About Two-Timing, Tammy"
- "Basement Dishbowl Blues (Let Me Back Upstairs)"
- "Pans Are For Cooking, Not For Smashing"
- "What Does Donnie Have That I Don't Got?"
- "I Guess You Make a Good Point About Donnie"
- "Please Make Them Stop Beating Me (The In-Law Song)"
- "You're Not Going Out With Donnie AGAIN, Are You?"
- "Marriage is a Holy Sacrement, Which You Threaten By Stripping"
- "Don't Like My Cooking? Why Don't YOU Try Cooking Some Goddamn Dinner For Once?"
- "Just The Two of Us (and an Impotence Problem)"
- "U Can't Divorce This"
- "Dads Don't Eat Dog Food"
- "Donnie Don't Move In"

I think songs like these, with the way Bob sings, could have really done some repairs on our marriage. Instead, I got fleeced by the divorce judge! I can't even listen to this album for my next marriage, since I was ordered to hand over the record player to Tammy (along with my Jim Croce poster and my last pair of good socks).

If you're going through a rough patch and have a record player, I'll recommend spinning this album to see what happens. As long as Donnie isn't stepping out with your wife too, this kit could work some wonders!

title: It Doesn't Get Better Than This One

text: I was fortunate many decades ago to find a copy of this on cd. I have to say, from all the surf comps I've listened to, this is the absolute best. If you're lucky enough to find the cd, grab it! All instrumental, the songs are extremely obscure tunes not found anywhere else. Good luck!


title: Sorry. Vocals Aren't Surf.

text: No no no! Surf Music doesn't have friggin' vocals! Any singing should automatically be designated as 'Beach' music. When is the world going to learn, I asks ya?


title: Another "surf" title that has nothing to do with surf music

text: I don't know why there are so many bands out there that use the "surf" moniker when they're not producing surf music. Are they trying to cash in on the term? If you collect surf music, pass on this one. Not even close.

text: Awesome music, I noticed what one of the other contributors said about Jim Morrison's vocals. On certain songs it's hard to understand him because they brought up the background music on the remix. They should have left it like the original recordings.


title: Disappointing

text:
I was really looking forward to this set. But it turns out it's a bootleg, with many of the problems that come along with being one.

The first disc ('86), while the sound quality is good, it has a poor mix, with the bass near non-existent, and the vocals up. This becomes un-bear-able (pun intended) on one of my favorite songs, "Better Not Call:" Guy's mic (or someone's) is left on throughout the song and there are these annoying grunts and mumblings that just ruin it. Then "Take Your Fingers..." has the first half of the song in the track "One More Chance" and the rest in it's own track.

Though a much shorter set, sound quality for the second disc ('84) is better, but it suffers from many incomplete songs. "Don't Care" starts abruptly with the beginning cut-off. They do a good job of trying to hide it, but it's still too noticeable. "I Don't Like It" starts abruptly too, but at least it's all there. "Said Before" fades out, while "Slow Down" (apparently from early in the set) fades in, both incomplete, but "mostly" there.

The interview I'm guessing is from the late 90s (pre-IV). The quality isn't great and it's actually two interviews, apparently with Randy and then with Guy: the interviewer doesn't mention who he's talking to so you have to figure it out yourself. The interviewer also must've just reused his question list from Randy with Guy. But at least he sounds like a fan of the band. That all being said, nothing really new or revealing is learned

Still it's Zebra. And there's not a lot available out there. So take it for what it is and enjoy.

title: LOVE, LOVE

title: Awesome, innovative Italian rock

text: Love this group with their intriguing and powerful lyrics in Italian and English, masterful songwriting and polished instrumentation, and their support of LGBTQ rights. It's great that the bass guitarist is a talented woman who can also talk eloquently about the group's beginnings and how they went up against the conventional music biz.


title: Great Info in these recordings

title: Classic Mahogany Rush - Killer Sounds!

text: I can definitely say that the most popular songs from Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush are on this disk. The Answer and Dragonfly appear on Mahogany Rush Live! Jive Baby is on Sony's Best of Frank Marino. It's Begun to Rain is a great ballad, better than the a lot of ballads!  These tunes are clean and rockin! This is rare rock and roll!  He plays some of his best solo's on this album! I bid on this album last year on EBAY. You can get it cheaper now on Amazon!

title: Great Music

text: I must admit, I don't know much German, and I have not always looked up the lyrics on the Internet, but the music sounds great. Faun's videos are great, too. Listening to this CD encourages me to learn German; after all, much of English is based on German. I don't get distracted when listening to this CD, either, because since I don't understand the words, there's nothing to distract me! The songs are sung beautifully. Uplifting. Enchanting.


title: CLASSIC Soul and R&B by the ORIGINAL Artists-A MUST HAVE for Collectors

text: Leave it to the UK to put together this excellent 2-disc/40-track collection of CLASSIC R&B and Blues songs by the ORIGINAL artists who performed the songs primarily from the 1960s. There are a few songs on here that were made more popular by other artists (e.g., Piece Of My Heart by Erma Franklin (Aretha's sister) made popular by Janis Joplin/Big Brother and the Holding Company) but these are the ORIGINAL/FIRST RECORDINGS of the songs (with a couple exceptions). Just an outstanding overview of the early days of R&B and soul music that pretty much includes the most prominent LEGENDS and CLASSIC songs of the genre. Highly recommended.


title: Beware, "new stereo recordings by the original artists"

text: Just a heads up since it's not stated anywhere on this page.


title: ALL ORIGINAL RECORDINGS!

text: These are ALL ORIGINAL RECORDINGS, not redone/re-recordings as mentioned by another reviewer. And probably one of her better compilations since so many of her compilations DO use re-recordings. This issue is put out by CEMA Special Markets which is a subsidiary of EMI/Capitol Records which published her original albums. So this is a recommended compilation with all original recordings that includes the bulk of her major hits through her 1983 "Dirty Looks" LP (after which she went to RCA). Enjoy!

title: Intensely practical and well-paced program

text:
What I like about Yoke Wong's approach is that it is very "matter of fact" - there's no padding in her program! I am an intermediate player, beginning from scratch 2 & 1/2 years ago at age 50 and am also time-poor. Finding my sight-reading progress slow compared to my playing technique (I have weekly lessons), I decided to look online for solutions and found a ton of stuff, but it all takes time to absorb and practice.

What I really wanted was a time-shortcut and a program to follow.

Then I found Yoke.

It took me a while to be convinced to spend the money but it is well worth it. The introductory tips and principles on a DVD; then a full manual of graded practice sheet music to use for 10 mins a day; then an Advanced DVD makes this impossible to fail. You also get a neat "practice drill" CD for use on a computer (and an online version for using anywhere).

Yoke has a way of explaining the theory and turning it into easy to follow drills - there's plenty here to get stuck into and will keep anyone busy, from complete beginner, to intermediate.

Thanks again - I recommend this product as an excellent combination of media - especially for anyone short on time who needs pointing in the right direction.

title: Excellent Set with a Predictable Caveat

text:
I agree with many of the reviews above- the transfers are remarkably clear, the range of music played and the quality of the performed is wonderful and highly recommendable.  I have - more than quibbles with the documentation; some pieces are slightly badly tracked, some are just entirely misidentified.  Usually a bit of research and knowledge -- and guesswork - clears this up (I think e.g. that the "D. Mele" work played by Rostropovich might be actually a Milhaud excerpt, maybe a movement from his Saudades do Brasil, Op.67 or another work, mislabeled/mistransliterated/etc. in the copy at-hand to the composer maybe?... ; the Taneev concert suite - a wonderful work in my opinion - is wrongly tracked, with the first track being

" I Prélude. Grave. - II. Gavotte. Allegro moderato" , the second track being "III. Märchen. Andantino (eighth=136)", the third being "IV. Tema con variazioni. Andantino - Allegro moderato - Allegro energico - Tempo di valse - Fuga doppia - Presto scherzando - Tempo di mazurka - Final variation, coda" (ok, I overdid that one :) ), the fourth "IV Conclusion of Tema con variazioni." and the fifth track of this 4-movement piece, "V Tarantella. Presto - più presto".  Also e.g. the Khachaturian cello rhapsody is (clearly) performed in a reduction with piano; to hear the whole orchestral thing one may just have to pay a few dollars more for the Naxos recording, or somesuch...

(I have a vague memory of the Shostakovich 2nd cello concerto (1966) being given a performance date of 1961 in the documentation, but this seems not to have been the case. Maybe I'm thinking of a different work. Was glad to be able to re-add this and Prokofiev's sinfonia concertante to my collection, and in such good performances (2 of the Prokofiev); and Weinberg, Levitin and Sauguet cello concertante works too, e.g. ...) Anyhow, I quibble; a whole lot of really terrific stuff by a range of instrumentalists, and those who aren't well-known now clearly should be.  Maybe a similar box with a range of non-concertante orchestral music (19th-20th c.) from their archives might follow (unless the ongoing licensing wars that have always gone on over the Soviet archives forbid?)


title: A must for anyone with kids.

text: Put this in my car player and all of a sudden you could hear a pin drop from the back seat.,,both granddaughters were listening with interest (not an easy trick with all the digital competition).  I love the messages in the stories.  They are subtle enough for adults and the music that follows reinforces the virtue for children.  Love this CD!


title: Great jazz music

text: Just recently became aware of Charles Mingus. We love this music! If you like coltrane or modern jazz quartet, or Miles Davis, you will enjoy this.


title: Great CD set!

text: I love the music!  This is a replacement set because I wore the 1st set out listening to it all the time.


title: Great band! Disappointing digital mastering.

text: Received my copy of The Trout CD and was glad that, after looking for the LP for over 40 years, I was able to buy an CD of the album on Amazon. I had high expectations for this item but was extremely disappointed to find the mastering of the digital music included boosting the music volume to the point of creating audible distortion and loss of dynamic range. This is a common technique used today by companies to make the music sound "loud" when played. I don't know where the music that was used on the CD came from but I do not remember the audible distortion on the original LP released in 1968.


title: Great memories

text: I love the Temptations. Saw the broadway show and had to get CD to listen more


title: END OF THE SONG CUTS OFF

text: I Was very excited to get several 45 records as a gift but once we started to play the song at least 1 min of the end is cut off..

title: Very wonderful music

text: Modernization of beautiful old hymns. If I thought that they needed improving well these are even more beautiful now especially noticed Holy Holy Holy a song I never liked it profound beautiful.


title: Hidden treasures galore

text: William Primrose was a really, really wonderful musician.  He is paired in this boxed set with so many peer stellar musicians, it is impossible to name them all here.  I am only up to CD 3 and I am delighted with what I am hearing.  The viola is so over-looked, but any genuine music lover, especially if you enjoy historical recordings, will treasure this collection, being sold for almost nothing.  Robert


title: Lovely Serenade No. 1

text:
One of the finest (perhaps now my favorite) renditions of the Brahms serenade No. 1.  Full-bodied, passionate and rhapsodic.  Peers = Sir Charles Mackerras (Scottish Chamber Orchestra), and Istvan Kertesz with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Who could possibly get enough of the two Brahms serenades??

Haven't yet listened to the Haydn Variations; hoping equally well done!


title: Magnificent

text:
I agree with the first reviewer, on whose advise by the way I got my hands on this disc.

I've gotten to know Jorg Demus a bit these past few years.  Initially, through his collaboration with the great Antonio Janigro on Beethoven's five cello sonatas.  I highly, highly recommend this recording by the way, on the Vanguard label.  Once you get used to these two giants playing Beethoven's sonatas, there will be no turning back.

The Barylli Quartet is unfortunately not well represented these days on re-released CDs.  They were at their peak in the 1950's and did absolutely first rate recordings of the Beethoven & Mozart quartets, among other things.  Also not to be missed, is their rendition of the Beethoven Septet, with various wind soloists joining in.  It is a real gem.

Most of these were on the wonderful Westminster label.

You can find the big, huge box of Westminster chamber recordings recently reissued for a steep sum -- but you will be well-rewarded.

Alternatively, as Mr. Pardo points out, these can all be obtained through Amazon in Japan, just scroll down to the Japan site, choose the English language version, and you're a few clicks away from such gems as Barylli & Co. playing the Beethoven & Mozart quartets; the Mozart quintets; Barylli with Badura-Skoda playing Mozart's violin sonatas; and last but not least, the great Vienna Konzerthaus Quartet -- also in their rendition of the Beethoven Quartets -- TO DIE FOR!!! --, plus the Schubert Quartets, and best of all, the great Schubert Octet!

I don't know why these are so hard to get in the US, but through Amazon - Japan, or the HMV.co.jp site (again in English), you'll find a lot of these reissued.

On these two Japanese sites, keep an eye out for the great, late, Romanian violinist Johanna Martzy, in her recordings among others of the Bach solo works. This is the realm of the connoisseur -- her LPs on EBAY go for several hundred dollars now.  The Japanese, generously, are quietly re-issuing more and more of her recorded oeuvre, and not a moment too soon.

Treat yourself to all or some of the above!!

You'll agree that they just don't make them the way they used to!

Secret: Johanna Martzy's lost recording of the Beethoven concerto seems to have been unearthed, and has been remastered and released.  Best ever I've heard.  So passionate, intimate and lovely!!


title: A CD VERSION OF THE CLASSIC  - " THE REAL THING "

text: This dance song is a classic. It is an infectious dance record produced by Jellybean Johnson. This late - 80's song contains a heartfelt and soulful vocal delivery by Steve Dante. The sliding high-hat cymbals and rolling bassline gives it texture. The theme of starting over with a new love fits in nicely with this groove. I love this infectious song but seek a CD version of it accordingly.
