title: Superbly done remastering of a benchmark setting recording

text:
I own the original LP from the 1959 recording of Reger's piano concerto with Ormandy and Serkin; alas I had to leave it behind when I left Caracas in 2004. I am greatly pleased that I was able to get the (superbly done) digital remastering on this CD through Amazon. This is a historical recording. This (fiendish difficult in every to play and 'understand') concerto is not performed all too often; Serkin (piano) and Ormandy (conductor) set one of the benchmarks of interpretation with this one. Very recommended.

"Reger is a colossus. And like Bach, he was way ahead of his time, and we still are waiting for somebody to set him afloat"
This quote was made by prof. Attilio Ferraro, one of the piano teachers in my music school in Caracas, in 1977.
When I moved to America I was gratefully surprised that Reger is so popular, particularly in the Organ World. Even so Reger's music is still not easy to understand, even for us post-Prokofiev, Schoenberg, and Webern generation.
Prokofiev's "Concerto for the left hand" is another 'tough to get to' work (the concertos #2 and 3 are then most popular ones), but one cannot deny that this interpretation is well made.

text: Great quality


title: Loved it!

text: CD runs well except for the last tracks on both of the CDs. I love Muse and their B-Sides are my favourite. Great purchase!


title: beautiful music

text: I have had one of these for many years and decided I wanted one for work thus the recent purchase.  love the lightness of the music.  just beautiful


title: Gospel Throwback

text: I really liked this album! To get acquainted with some of the pioneers of gospel music was a blessing and a treat. Really worth a listen.


title: Incredible Album!!

text: I highly recommend this album.  Superb!  Beautiful collection of country, and inspirational songs.  Warren Smyth isn't as famous as most of the singers in Ireland, but few are as talented.  I enjoy Irish Country music very much, but this album exceeded all my expectations.  Order it, and you'll see what I mean.


title: Hooked On Irish Country

text: I listened to the samples of this album, and jumped at the chance to own it.  It will be well worth the slight wait as its being shipped from the U.K.  I have become very fond of Irish Country Music.  The artists have their own distinct style, sound, and it's like a breath of fresh air. My next purchase will be Lee Matthews.


title: Where are the track listings?

text: Nothing sells a CD any faster than a listing of the tracks on the CD, and if possible sound samples.  I for one would never purchase a CD not knowing what was on it.  Money is hard to come by nowadays.  Why gamble on ordering something that may not be worth the money?  I am also a big stickler for original recordings.  New versions of the original hits by the original artists just doesn't cut it!  People like original recordings by the original artists.  With the price of this CD it is very possible that it isn't worth the price.  Merchant should list the songs included on the CD, and specify if they are the original hits.  Why be deceitful, and dishonest?


title: An enjoyable treat from YMO and THL

text: I have been wanting this CD since hearing Kimi ni, Mune Kyun on the B-side of "Tell Me When".  The mix of YMO's musicianship and THL's vocals make for an enjoyable treat.  Behind the Mask adds THL vocals to an existing YMO song.  The result is an pop song that captures the best of both bands.  Kimi ni, Mune Kyun offers both a single and extended mix.  This song is worth the price - an uptempo song that gets the toes tapping.  While you may not know the meaning of the lyrics, you will find yourself trying to sing along. Firecracker is a good instrumental.


title: WIsh it were on the Utah Saints album

text: This is a US import only extended mix of "Believe In Me".  The song was included in the 1993 UK CD release, but not on the 1992 US CD release.  What a shame!  Sampling from The Human League's "Love Action (I Beleive in Love)" from the Dare! album, the song is a great example of what stadium house music should be.  The song and it's remixes keep the toes tapping and energy flowing from beginning to end.


title: poor sound quality

text: very poor recording and sound quality is bad


title: Randy rules.

text: love it. Rock on.


title: Un disco muy chingon!!

text: unas cumbias muy chidas! if you like cumbia with nice base and percussion you will like this. the tracklist is not in the right order but if you know spanish you can figure it out easy enough!


title: Outstanding!

text: This is a digital remastering of a classic recording which, as near as I can determine, dates from 1966.  Schock was one of the greats and here he is sheer perfection, and the orchestra, under the direction of a man who was himself an operetta composer, really "gets" this piece, with its spirit of rollicking but sophisticated fun.


title: Energetic yet soothing

text: My go-to mysterious new age-y vocal group. I can't understand any of the words, since I don't speak Latin, Greek, or Aramaic. The backbeat rhythms add energy without overwhelming the harmony. I found this group while searching for something to listen to after Bob  D'Eith's Mythos and Rhys Fulber's Delerium. I think Solyma is in good company here, and I would like to learn more about them, but their history and future seem as mysterious as their lyrics.


title: Great design for side sleepers

text:
I sleep on my side and most foam pillows don't work for me.  The YARKOR Contour Memory Foam Pillow is different and has both high and low areas preformed into the foam.  This makes it easier to find a comfortable position and it also hold the head in place.

This pillow is very well made.  Both the interior foam and the removable external case are made from high-quality materials.

I'm still getting used to sleeping on this pillow but it's a lot less expensive than the down pillow I was using before.


title: The Devil You Know...

text: Caution: playing this album too loud will kill your neighbor's lawn and probably yours too. And you"ll love watching it die!


title: Proving marching band rules and can cause mass dancing outbreaks

text:
I first caught Providence's WCB at a street performance in 2007 and like anyone else who's seen them once, have been a diehard fan ever since.  The crowds they raise at their shows are ferocious misfits- all bicycles and elbows and knees and sweat and grins- but families and wee kids in the park love them too!

Their sound is like if the high school marching band won a state Battle-of-the-Bands tournament, was awarded a trip to Eastern Europe, boozed it up really hard one night, then hot-wired the bus early in the morning while the band director was passed out and left him nursing a hangover while they ran riot across the Balkans.

Death masks, gorilla suits, hot pants, horns, drums, cymbals, eye makeup- this is music for people who like to freaking dance.  They've appeared in HONK, PRONK, Lollapalooza and other festivals, and they channel the Boban I Markovic Orchestra ([[ASIN:B0000E6LS5 Boban I Marko Balkan Brass Fest]]), Asha Bosle ([[ASIN:B000050XHR Best of Asha Bhosle: The Golden Voice of Bollywood]]), and Tetris alike.  They are a sonic experience not to be missed.


title: A great split from 2 great hardcore bands.

text: I had never heard Title Fight before listening to this, but I knew who they were. A buddy of mine told me about this split, and how it was Touché Amoré covering Title Fight and vice-versa. I thought that was a unique concept, so I had to check it out.<br />All in all, this is a great/album split, and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes both of these bands, or emo/hardcore music. My only gripe with this album is that it's too short it's only two songs, but hey, isn't that a sign of a great album if it makes you want more? ;). I really hope both of these bands explore this more in their careers and hope to see something like this again soon. Maybe they'll put out a longer release next time.


title: Taeminnie!

text: If you are a fan of Taemin, then definitely buy this album. I wish Amazon was able to carry the digital version as I don't like the clutter of physical albums, but at least I get to enjoy the photos that accompany the album. While the description of the album does state that it's in Japanese, I do want to remind people that this is a Japanese album. After memorizing the Korean lyrics to "Danger", I'm always surprised when I hear the Japanese version, but it's just as good. Most of the songs are upbeat/great for working out, but there are some sweet ballads and slower songs on here, too. I got it mainly for "Under my Skin" and it didn't disappoint. Taemin is truly an artist and this album truly reflects his range and artistry.

text: Love the Surf Coasters, but this CD is a collection of extended remixes of previously released tunes. it's ok, but i wouldn't have ordered it if i'd realized it was so redundant.

text: BEE GEES!!!!! Stayin' Alive, Saturday Night Fever, Grease, BEE GEES! Wow.


title: Great!

text: Just saw them at Gibson Amphitheater at Universal Citywalk in California and I am so glad I found this. Despite surviving near death, Marie sounds remarkable now, but this is Live In Sydney 1991. It is a fantastic live recording. If your a fan - it's a must have. Crank it to "11" and it's like being there!


title: She loved it!

text: Bought as a B-day gift! She loved it!


title: Not worth it

text: The only decent song was House of the Rising sun. All others are a waste of time as with all their albums.


I bought the original edition when it came out, around 1995, not the edition with bonus tracks.  Even that one has some songs that are as good as anything Elvis Costello has ever done.  It's a record of songs made by a man who has grown up.  While all the tracks are good, some are just impossibly brilliant, and here they are:
Pony St / 13 Steps Lead Down / This Is Hell / You Tripped at Every Step / Sulky Girl
I don't even know how to describe them properly because they're so different that anything in pop music.
Pony Street seems to be a song to a young girl, perhaps a daughter, who sees her father as just another old man, while he remembers the berserker he was in his youth.  It's just great rock and roll.
The raucous 13 Steps Lead Down is, I think, the falling off the wagon when a 12 step sobriety program doesn't work.
This is Hell is what happens when a young man grows up and discovers that his youthful fantasy of a life of leisure is just dead boring.
You Tripped at Every Step is... I'm not sure what it is.  It appears to be a beautiful song to a young daughter tripping in her mother's high heels, and at the same time a confession of drunken misbehavior.
Sulky Girl is a portrait of a girl from a less-wealthy European country, who emigrates to the UK and gets hit on by a jerk.  It has a perfectly Costello-like set of slant rhymes at the end that remind me of the ones at the end of This Year's Girl.

What a great record.


title: Simply one of the best ever. A must-have for any collection.

text: I have  a copy of this somewhere and ha misplaced it - so I ordered a backup for a road trip.  In my opinion, every song except one on this album is a winner.


title: Awesome album

text: The boys are incredible in this album. Just yesterday I sat across from my legs, they weren't connected to me. I couldn't see cuz my eyes weren't in me, hold me up straight while I screw my head on.

text: wonderful Christmas Album


title: What a fabulous voice!

text: She's the perfect complement to her husband's amazing talents. Her voice is angelic and beautiful. Great background music or just listening music to relax with. You won't be disappointed. There's even a track from when she performed as a little girl. Even then her voice was amazing!


title: Amazing musicians

text: I have not actually heard this recording, but I have seen Pat and Eoghan play live, in a very intimate setting, just last week, in fact. Judging by that performance this album is sure to be amazing. I'm here looking to buy it because of what I heard them do not 10 feet from me. These guys are the real deal--absolutely among the best trad musicians out there, and they're incredibly nice people as well. Talking with Eoghan after the show was really a treat. I really hope I can find this for sale somewhere (I  could have bought it at the concert but I hadn't the money on me!)


title: Quality death metal with a NWOBHM vibe.

text: So, I’m  familiar with one the vocalists, George Corpsegrinder Fisher but the rest of the group not so much. I can say this, If Melodic Death Metal is your thing then you’ll love this. Lyrically if your into blasphemy then again this will be to your liking. The musicianship is superb especially the bassist. Guitar wise I’m hearing a lot of NWOBHM influences. In closing this is a really good effort by another supergroup. Then again I may be biased because I like Cannibal Corpse.


title: well done, a bit floaty for me

text: This is more like music and poetry than explanation so if you're looking to for more of a spalike experience, this is it.


title: Doesn't talk about U2 at all, but DOES do a good job at introducing yodeling. :)

text: I bought this CD a few years ago, listened to a track or two, then put it away, figuring it was a waste of time.  Then, 5 days ago, one of my neighbors was blasting his music from his car, so I got this CD out and put in MY car to blast it.  That was the start of something new.  I instantly loved it and decided to actually give it a try again.  As I said, that's been 5 days.  Today, I can keep up with most of the yodels, aside from the Chicken Yodel.  Turns out I already had my voice break where it needs to be, so was able to skip the "weeks or months" of the first two lessons needed to master that part.  Those who say that this doesn't teach yodeling, I say it most certainly does--one just has to follow the instructions.  I had learned some Irish folks songs that had "Hi-dey-diddly-idle-oh-diddly-doodle-idle-oh"-type lyrics just by listening to them over and over again, and that helped with my confidence that I can learn the syllables in yodeling, too.  I do suggest that anyone who is having difficulty with the CD take Kerry up on his word and use the contact info on the cover and take it up with Kerry directly.  Maybe he'll be able to help with the syllables, which, by the way, he says in the CD not to worry too much about.  (I've noticed a little variation in what he sings on the CD anyhow.)  I've had these songs going in my head now for 5 days and I am very much enjoying myself.


title: Not what I thought

text: Liked hearing the songs from America’s Got Talent, didn’t care for most of the other songs. 🙁


title: Unreleased gems amongst duds

text: Many songs are enjoyable and could have possibly been released. From a Motown historical viewpoint, it is fun to critique these tracks.

title: Really enjoy this keep coming back to it!

text: This is a goth rock and industrial album with some other softer elements, like piano, too. There are different voices male and female. Eric Clayton from Saviour Machine, is on this cd. I really enjoy the whole thing. Some of the songs are harder and darker and some are softer. I'm not that great at describing music but enjoy this album and recommend it. I actually listen to it on Youtube. I'm not sure if its on Amazon Unlimited. Only other thing is that this is Christian and the topics center around end times, standing up for your faith and faith in general.


title: Only Evanescence CD I Listen to...

text: This CD is my favorite from Evanescence. I like all of the songs. I am not sure if they are influenced by underground bands, but there is definitely a underground goth influence. I think when Amy Lee says they are not a Christian band she means that she does not want to be pegged that way which is kind of understandable in a mainstream setting. Anyway a bad is not Christians but members of a band may be. As a rock band it is nice that they don't let negative emotions rule, though they do feel them. Their style is basically hard rock with instrumental music and a female vocalist, though a guy sings at times. My favorites are Anywhere, Origin, Where Will you Go and Imaginary. Amy Lee underestimates how good this Cd actually is and also her need for the other members in the band. I have read that she has problems with band members and thinks she is the band. That is simply not true. Ben Moody adds a lot to this album. One negative thing about them is that it is hard to listen to them much, but occasionally it is fun to listen to their music.


title: Five Stars

text: The best ever.


title: Meditation

text: Love it. Use it all the time.


title: Not interesting

text: I expected a lot from this record given the musicianship of its members.  But after listening to it a couple times I have to say I found it really dull.  Nothing catchy or memorable in it.  The songs begin to sound the same after a while and it just didn't do anything for me.  Normally I prefer instrumental music but these songs don't really go anywhere in their current form so maybe they would benefit from having a good vocalist??<br />I don't recommend it.


title: Beautiful instrumental post-rock.

text: Instrumental prog/post-rock at its finest.  Guitar-focused.  Intricate and melodic.  There are some very beautiful track on this album.  Go to YouTube and watch the video for Sea Dragon to get a taste.<br />Side note: it's great to see a band like this fronted by a lady for a change.


title: A bit of a departure from other EST records.  But very good

text: A great album.  Quite different from most EST material.  Much more experimental.  Many beautiful moments and a lot of ambience & noise


title: Nice album!

text: Nice album. Fast shipping. Highly recommended!!!


title: Great mix of songs from the good ship Pablo Cruise!

text:
There are some great pop songs on this album/cd/casette, including:  "Treat Her Right", "Will You, Won't You".  This was the last album from Pablo Cruise and they were continuing craft enjoyable pop/rock tunes.  The complete track listing is:  (1) Will You, Won't You; (2) Let It Go; (3) You May Be Wrong (But It's Alright) (4) Givin' It Back; (5) Our Of Our Hands; (6) On & On; (7) Talk To Me Right; (8) Another World; (9) Treat Her Right.

I bought a cassette recording and then transferred it to cd, then iPod and the sound has suffered through this transition.

text: Days of Elijah is one of my favorite songs, perhaps because it speaks so vividly of the return of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.


title: Beautiful Christian Music

text: My second CD from this Choir.  Love the beautiful worship music and singing that is wonderful.  I really enjoy this type of music. Very soothing. Wish the churches went back to this.  God's Word in the lyrics.


title: Love the music

text: sometimes Time-Life get it right.  Love the music


title: Great selection but rotten mastering

text: It's very obvious that many of the songs on this album came from LPs -- you can heard the clicks and pops. Too bad someone didn't clean them up!  I wonder if other CDs by Liberace were mastered from tape or if the sound is this bad. If you can put that aside, these are masterful songs by the master himself.


Excellent remaster with some really good bonus tracks.  Glad I bought it!


title: Five Stars

text: Good road trip CD"s


title: Very creative album by a very creative musician.

text:
The album arrives in a standard audio CD jewel-case, with fairly simple graphics on the outside.

It comes with lyrics for all the tunes.  Where appropriate, the names of the musicians with whom he collaborated for a particular piece of music, and the instrument they played also appear with the lyrics.

The album does not come with any of the extra bits you might hear in his YouTube videos after the main song has finished, but that's hardly a concern here.

The CD itself is not protected in a fashion to prevent you from ripping it for use in your smartphone.  I could rip the music to ogg vorbis without issue, and it sounded quite nice.

Finally, with all of that out of the way, I can comment on the music.

It's fabulous.

Although I stopped performing music many years ago to pursue a different line of work, I studied music in college for four years and actively performed as a bandsman for about four years before that.  I played a variety of music instruments in high school, in orchestra, band, and chorus, and took music fairly seriously in my younger years.  I mention this only to give you a glimpse of what I might like in a piece of music without tainting you with any other artists' names.

I've read several people who compare this music to such-and-so artist, but I think he honestly explores so many different styles and approaches to music that it's unfair to box him in such a fashion.  All of the music here is well composed and carefully performed without sounding sterile or corporate in any fashion.  I think the artist does a fine job of giving a fresh, unaltered performance without sounding at all like he's just winging it.

The pieces with an orchestral element are quite nice as well.  I found myself surprised at his use of a euphonium for one song, as the instrument gets very little love despite its unique and beautiful sound.

If you despaired of finding decent music since the 1990s, or have grown weary of the usual corporate-fronted drivel out there, you should give this man a listen on his YouTube channel, then buy his music.

text: I was given Holosync as a gift by my now ex-girlfriend back in 2007.  When i found out she spend $170 i thought she was crazy.  it took me about 3 months before i started using it and i have to say i've using it constantly now since that time.  Its what helped me learn to meditate.  I notice a difference in my energy levels and overall calmness.  I've also used lifeflow meditation, which i like, but prefer the sounds and effects of Holosync much more.  Highly recommend


title: Excellent CD

text: This CD is awesome.  The arranger kept a lot of the original Handel's Messiah in the songs, but just jazzed it up.  So even the classical music lovers can appreciate the CD.  The singers were very good.  Not just a CD for Christmas time, but something that you can listen to all year.

title: Beats the CD, worth the $

text: I have compared with the CD (which always sounded great). This new vinyl version wins. All-analog! Feel Trey's Languedoc come out of your speakers (if you have a proper analog monitoring setup). Should be advertised as AAA too. Great job mastering, Chris Bellman. Packaging means less to me than sound quality and vinyl quality, but still -- the packaging is great.


title: Two women's voices, telling truth

text: You can track this album down if you try, and it is well worth the effort. The music is honest, lovely and memorable. "Threads" is the song I most decided I had to own; it is the story of life, sung simply and unforgettably.<br />If you are a woman, find this record, you won't be sorry

AS much as I like the voice of Demis Roussos, I probably won't be buying further CDs just because the songs all sound similar.  For those who *really* enjoy his voice, you will probably want more of his music.

Add on review:  I've been listening to this one CD for some time now and found that Roussos's voice grows on you.  I'm going to be ordering more of his CDs.

title: Does not worth the price

text: I am totally disappointed, the cd delivered is a digipack with no artwork inside, nor the cover art printed in the cd. The subject of this article said it is deluxe but the price does not worth it. There are lower prices out there for the same article. It is sad because this album's songs are very good.

title: Motown Instrumentals from The Early Days

text: While the packaging and quality of this CD are not top notch, avid fans of Motown should add this to their collection because these recordings are very rare and include Earl Van Dyke and The Soul Brothers album "The Motown Sound," comprising the first 12 tracks of this CD and 5 other tracks recorded by the band. In time the musicians included here became known as The Funk Brothers and would get long overdue recognition in the documentary "Standing In The Shadows of Motown." The band also was featured as the backing band in "The Motortown Revue In Paris" and performed a nearly identical version of "Too Many Fishes In The Sea."  Also included is Choker Campbell and his 16 Piece Band's "Hits of The Sixties!" Choker Campbell's band backed Motown acts during Motortown Revues,notably at The Apollo. Several of the acts released live recordings  from the now historic show. In 1970 Earl Van Dyke recorded a solo album "The Earl of Funk" which was mostly cover songs.

text: Great collection played very well on a well-rounded instrument. Carol is a superior organist. Will be buying more of her works.


title: John Renbourn is an outstanding musician and gifted guitarist.

text: I already own three cd's by this artist so it is a given that i would want this one, too. Very glad to find it on Amazon as it is not easy to find. It is already one of my favorites. The CD arrived in the condition that the seller promised, like knew. Not even a scratch on the case.


title: One is put in mind of disco covers of rock songs

text: Taking the songs of the renaissance and playing them in "modern" style ("modern" meaning a sound more associated by classical music).  But, like disco covers of rock music, this takes away a lot of the essential goodness.  I'd recommend "Dance of the Renaissance" instead.


title: Gift for fathers day

text: The cd was for a gift. The person loves the cd. The package was well packed


title: Poor quality for the price

text: Poor quality for the price. Seems like it should have been a $20 costume. Paying a little more (like at a disney store) i would have gotten FAR FAR better quality.


title: has been helping

text: this is an update from a previous review. It took several listenings to the sleep disc and it has now become very effective. my comment about the discs being difficult to release from the jacket still applies, but I have been getting to sleep much easier with the sleep disc. I am a restless sleeper and awakening several times during the night, but I put the sleep disc on repeat and after a brief time am able to return to sleep. This is a great improvement in the amount of sleep I have been getting. The relaxation disc is pleasant to listen to and does give me a relaxation respite when needed during a busy day.

text: GREAT, FUN SELECTION.


title: Great CD from a legend

text: Can't go wrong with Steely Dan


title: The voice alone is a reason to buy it.

text: Charlton Heston's voice alone is enough of a reason to get this CD. He reads some of the best knowns Bible psalms, adding even more life to the beautiful words.

text: great music beautiful voice


title: Truly a Brilliant Voice

text: This is one of my favorite Carreras CDs. The selection of music is wonderful and his voice is incredible. Arias from Madame Butterfly to La Traviata and The Masked Ball. I'd give this 10 stars if I could.


title: Move on from this guy...

text: He is a decent song writer, but his voice is very mediocre. He dumped his great band and walked away from his two kids to try for fame. Not impressed with this guy. Doesn’t have what it takes to make it big. No heart, no dedication to what really matters.


title: Small Group Perfect

text: Great worship music. Perfect for any worship leader.


title: Best Yet

text: This album is Kim Walker-Smith's best yet. The songs are all able to carry you into deep worship. If you have liked her other albums you have to buy this one.


title: Nana Mouskouri Music CD

text: I was very happy to find that the CD is in excellent....brand new  condition!


title: Long time listener comments

text: At 72, I have been listening to Mathis since I was 15. His voice is a little deeper now but the music is just as beautiful


title: Don't Be A Fool

text: One would have to be a complete idiot to pay nearly $70 for this DVD. Yes, the movie is great. Awesome writing, great directing, the performances are top notch, the cinematography is excellent. But $70 for a DVD is an insult. Don't buy this.


title: Overall, great gift for your BTS Fan

text:
The CD was very well packaged in a sturdy box with a photo book and other items. There was at least 1 sticker, a poster, and other very appreciated fan-focused items. My 13 year old granddaughter loved the gift!

I will mention that one of the extra items was advertised as a K Pop mask. When it arrived it was nothing more than a mask shaped piece of foam without a logo. I think it's an insert and the actual mask may have been left out of the package. It looked nothing like what was in the picture. This is still a 5 star gift because we didn't buy it for the mask and my granddaughter loved everything else.


title: Wow. More than expected.

text: This set comes in a sturdy box with fold outs, poster, cards, and a photo book. The CD and DVDs are packaged well and all of this together provides much more than music, there is a whole experience happening with this. My 13 year old granddaughter is a big BTS fan and loved this gift. It's especially good if your BTS fan already has the most recent CDs. This one is from the early days with a few bonuses thrown in.

text: I heard this beauty for the first time ever tonight and am astounded. How much I have missed before in my life, now changed forever!


title: DEEP music

text: Johnny Cash is DEEP. This is not Pop - this is religious preaching from the broken heart, in music and searing thought and emotion. I find it as deep as the greatest classical music (yes including Bach and Beethoven). If you truly listen you may not stay the same person.


title: My CD arrived quickly and in good shape!

text: Great music on this CD from one of my favorite shows. Years ago I had this on cassette! It’s great to have the music again .


title: If you can find one of these scarce editions buy it.

text: Efrem Zimbalist reading of the Word of God is the best I have ever heard.

title: No filler. All good songs.

text: I read an article about the California Honeydrops and this album in an online magazine about Americana music. I’d never heard of them, but after watching some of their videos and streaming some of their songs, I bought this album. I don’t regret it one bit. This album contains no filler - all songs on both discs are keepers, although the songs on disc one seem a bit stronger than those on disc two. Put these discs in your car stereo, head down the highway, and I guarantee you’ll have a smile on your face. A week after I received the album, the Honeydrops came to town on their tour and I got to see them perform live. If you get a chance, see one of their shows. It will change you for the better. In the meantime, enjoy Call It Home.

text: Good quality.  Great music


title: Best album ever

text: I'm a huge Type O Negative fan and this is arguably their best ever. If you like hard rock, metal or goth rock, definitely pick this up.


title: Their Sound Became the Fleetwood Mac Sound

text: The music is phenomenal! Mick Fleetwood heard Lindsey Buckingham's guitar playing on this album and wanted him in his band. When Mick agreed to take Lindsey's girlfriend as well, rock 'n' roll history was made.<br />Lindsey's girlfriend, Stevie Nicks, of course.


title: Important For Any Ides of March Fan

text: This collection includes rare recordings and all the well known songs from this under rated rock band.

text: This thing is amazing. When they say it’s loud, believe it. It is really, really loud. He works extremely well as a tool to wake up sleeping teenagers.<br />He’s also very well made. The rubber is thick and heavy and his colored decorations are done with a quality paint that looks and feels like it will last forever. Ours is now named Nugget and moves around the house like a poultry version of Elf on the Shelf. Love it.

title: Good release, the music is classic, sounds excellent; but is "Eli..." a fold-down?

text:
This is billed as "The Complete Mono Albums".  Laura Nyro was a unique and talented songwriter, singer and musician.  Her first 2 albums are likely her best 2 albums, they contain most of the songs that became hits for other artists and many others as well.  Her soulful voice and combination of musical styles, together with her unique style of piano-playing, made her music easily recognizable.  Many have covered her songs and those are very different takes on the music, Laura's versions have a way of their own.

There are rumors that this mix of "Eli and the Thirteenth Confession", as good as it sounds, is actually what is known as a "fold down", i.e., not a true mono mix but two stereo channels "folded down" to create mono.  Because of various factors, a fold down does not sound the same as  a dedicated mono mix.  There are various factors that have to be considered when mixing for mono which take into account the fact that the same sound (as opposed to 2 different sounds) is coming from both speakers.  This is why so many '60s songs and albums sound so much better in mono; care was taken in the mono mixes because before FM stereo people generally heard the songs first in mono and the artists, producers and engineers wanted them to sound as good as possible.  I first considered giving this a release lower-star rating based on my belief that "Eli..." is a fold down but now I am  giving it 5 stars because although I have seen posts on the internet stating the belief that there is a fold down here, I personally cannot confirm that, so without definitive proof I'm not sure of that, and it would not be fair to downgrade the rating.  If it is a fold down, that would lower the rating but only by one star, since it still sounds excellent.  But it's really about the music, which is what it is and is classic, regardless of the mix, and therefore the 5-star rating.


title: A truly great comedy album.

text: A truly hilarious album, one I still have on vinyl from 1962.  I loved it then even though there were a few segments I was too young to fully understand.  As I grew older the album just got funnier.  So glad I found it on CD, thought I never would.  I can listen over and over and laugh at the same routines.  Mason's humor is so funny and his delivery makes it even funnier.


title: Great

text: Not as good as Slowhand at 70, but still very good


title: Very cool script

text: I know it's a remake with just changing the painting, but it's a great addition to my DC Rebirth collection with Deathstroke leading his team.  It was cool to reread those issues on DC Universe with the full set.  Definitely added to the reading and enjoyment.  Great buying experience too.  Product arrived earlier than expected and in great condition!


title: cool sculpt

text: Figure arrived on time and in great condition.  Good addition to my growing collection.


title: A beautiful album almost lost

text: I have been hanging on to my cassette for so many years...actually I had two of them and both tapes finally broke or got screwed up in my old cassette player. I have been searching for years to get a copy of this fantastic album. I was totally shocked when it appeared on Amazon in CD format. Although it was a little expensive for a CD, that didn't stop me because I knew what was on it.  You can find all sort of Vaudeville & Jazz Songs, but nothing like the great team of Terry Waldo and Susan LaMarche. Well, Terry has a number of albums, but finding Susan LaMarche is like finding pure gold. Lastly, I considered that the CD could just be a crappy copy off an old cassette with terrible quality.  I don't know how the CD was made, but I was so surprised to receive it and check it out.  The quality is up to CD standards and I love it. Thank you seller!

text: Love this one.  Treefrog is one of my favourite songs.  I have missed hearing most of this compilation.


Not his best CD.  His older stuff is much better.


title: YIRUMA IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!

text: YIRUMA touches my heart in so many ways, the way he touches the piano keys.  There is not a single recording on this CD that I do not absolutely love, have listened to so many times that I actually believe I could walk up on stage and play along with him, if only I knew how.  The recordings are soft as a gentle rain,  are loud as thunder in your heart, often invoking memories from your past.  "Wait There" is so beautiful, as is "Kiss the Rain"  and so many others.  I love, love this recording!


title: Excellent sound

text: Couldn't ask for more.


title: Collector's item now

text: What an artist the world lost in the passing of Jenny O'Connor.


title: Excellent all around

text: A great addition to anyone with Nordic roots in their collection.


title: Always A Treat

text: I have loved the voice of David Cook since he won American Idol...a few years ago. His cd's are always a treat and I enjoy his music as much now as I did then. He's a modern day swooner.

title: Very happy with purchase.

text: CDs arrived quickly in original packaging. Everything was as advertised. I think it's stupid to have to write a certain number of  words before you can post your review. If you can get the point across with fewer words, it seems like that should be all that's required.


title: Wonderful gospel music

text: Elvis Presley is one of the best gospel singers around and I loved this tape.  The only criticism might be that "Amazing Grace" did not always have Elvis' voice "out in front" and I realize he might have remixed it so that it wasn't, but I would have preferred hearing his voice over all the others.


title: Wonderful

text: The Beatles in piano version of Mr Tolley's own improv!  It it just great if you are a Beatles fan or even if you are not.


title: wonderful background music

text: We met David Tolley at a cabaret concert.  He was accompanying Kevin McQuire, of Les Miserables and Secret Garden travelling tours.  David was outstanding as a soloist as well.  I recommend this CD


title: Worth It!

text:
Greetings, good lookers!

This recording of John Coltrane with the Red Garland Trio is worth it, if just for the tune YOU LEAVE ME BREATHLESS, alone!  This is one of Coltrane's most emotional songs, in my opinion (and I have his complete catalog).

Rock On, Kids!

title: ART PEPPER Fans, Listen up...!

text:
Greetings, good lookers!

I bought this album shortly after it came out in the early 1980's (it was recorded in 1980).  I bought it because I like Freddie's playing; but, my main reason for buying it, is that I am a BIG Art Pepper fan!  I own over 230 albums and/or CD's by Art (and many are with Art as a sideman, as here).  But trust me, although this was a group of super musicians brought together by Freddie for this set, Art steals the show!!  I know, given my voluminous oeuvre of Art's work, what I am talking about.  And while I would never criticize any of Art's work (as many have), even if Art were bad, he is still the best Jazz saxophonist ever, in my opinion.  Art always wore his emotions on his sleeve, and played in the same vein.  He was so emotional, so lyrical, so aesthetic, as to be unreal.

On this date, Art was simply amazing!  Some of his best playing ever!  His tone was clear; his vocalizing emotional; and his presence unmistakable!  Art is always one of the few players you know immediately when you hear him!  And while Art shines throughout this recording, he is out-of-this-world phenomenal on the very first cut: "Sunshine Lady."  His solo's will leave you chilled, and teared up with appreciation for his loving beauty!

Thus, I cannot, repeat: CANNOT  recommend this recording highly enough!

The musicians here, Include:

  FREDDIE HUBBARD (Trumpet & Flugelhorn)
  ART PEPPER (Alto Sax)
  GEORGE CABLES {a long-time Art accompanist} (Piano, and Electric Piano)
  STANLEY CLARKE (Basses)
  PETER ERSKINE (Drums)
  ROLAND BAUTISTSA Guitars)
  PAULINHO DA COSTA (Percussion)
  PHIL RANELIN  (Trombone)
  and
  PETER WOLF (Synthesizers)

Two year after this date, Art died.  In my heart, and soul , he will always be sorely missed!

So, Jazz fans, especially all you Art Pepper fans out there, get this soon, before it becomes unavailable!

Thank you for taking the time to read my honest review!

Rock on, kids!
Dr. Of Style

title: I love this haunting music

text:
This is the music from one of the best shows of horsemanship I have ever seen; Spanish Riding school being one of them too. I bought a cd from the show, but it got scratched in a short time. This second one, I put on my computer in itunes to preserve the cd and prevent it from getting scratched. The music reminds me of the night I saw this wonderful show. I have seen videos of an Akhal-teke exhibition in Turkmenistan and the music is similar. I love the lady's voice, the instruments, the tunes that are so different from "American" music.

The show is so much a part of the music for me. They opened with these horses coming in at a dead run in the circle "arena" and the first song has the fast beat to accompany this act. Later in one of the "acts" a rider backed his horse perfectly around the circle. No one seemed to appreciate the backing skill, but it is difficult enough to get a horse to back in a straight line, much less a perfect circle. During the vaulting show, they jumped up in the air from one horse and landed on the horse behind. I am unable to find a vaulting video of this online.

The show was just before 9/11 and when France would not support us, their unpopularity caused this show to disappear. A later show took this name, but the quality was not a fraction of the original Cheval Theatre.

I highly recommend this music for anyone who likes unusual music.


title: The Bed and Breakfast Music Band CD

text: This is one of the best CD's I have ever listened to!  I first heard it in a store in Solvang, California and I asked the sales clerk what was playing?  I purchased two immediately and have since purchased four more from Amazon, for a very reasonable price.  Anyone who has heard this music in our house loves it. This music is a great gift!

title: Great new album from Mike Vescera! A must have for any fan of Melodic Metal!

text: Great new album from Mike Vescera. If you are a fan of guitar driven melodic metal, this is the album for you!  The songs are extremely memorable as well as being technically pleasing.  Michael's voice sounds better than ever.  Mike seems to have gotten even better lately, with the release of the latest Obsession album "carnival of lies" and this solo effort, Mike is at the top of his game!  Get both albums, you will not be disappointed.


title: Helps me relax

text: Just received and happy with purchase.  Have done the meditations online.  Practical way to relax from a stressful day.  Since there are several CDs, that makes it easier to find the next day's lesson.  Quick shipping.


title: Unusual CD is terrific

text: Love this CD!!  Since this song is a favorite, I enjoy having just this song and the additional musical sound tracks from that song---very upbeat music.  Lyrics included.


title: Not Overly Impressed

text: Well, I suppose that says it all.  For some time now I've had an mp3 of Robbie's version of 'Beyond the Sea'.  Always enjoyed it.  It's not Bobby Darin, but it's an enjoyable cover.  Earlier today I, for some reason, got a song stuck in my head that I hadn't heard in at least 30 years.  Who can explain these things?  In any case, the song was 'I Wanna Be Like You' from Jungle Book.  Decided to go to youtube and check it out, because I could only remember a line or two.  I came across Robbie's version sung with Olly Murs.  From there I found it was offered on this album.  Given my enjoyment of the Bobby Darin cover and this song, I grabbed the album.  Honestly wish I hadn't spent the money.  The majority of the songs, it sounds as if Robbie is bored.  Some of them are downright boring themselves.  Snowblind put me into a temporary coma.  Robbie has a pleasant enough voice, but he sounds uninspired and lackluster here.  Some of the songs (Where's The Muck, Wedding Bells, No One Likes a Fat Pop Star) are just downright awful.  My suggestion?  Give a listen to each track, and cherry pick the ones you really want.

Well, I love the band. I love the vocals, and the effortless mix of horns and keyboards. Every track makes me proud to know these local heroes of mine. I think my favorite track is #11 "Common Cold." My favorite part of Rustic Overtones is the way they mix their many horns and keys together and get this huge sound, but not orchestral huge... FUNK huge!

Compared to other albums, this one definitely rates 5 stars, though compared to some other releases of their's, I might say this is only three stars. This is because I enjoy the style they play on "Rooms By the Hour" ( http://www.amazon.com/Rooms-By-Hour-Rustic-Overtones/dp/B000005WF2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357055670&sr=8-1&keywords=rooms+by+the+hour ) or "Viva Nueva" ( http://www.amazon.com/Viva-Nueva-Rustic-Overtones/dp/B00005LMJJ/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_2 )

That said, this album was recorded in their own "studio" with many of my local musical favorites and financed by the band themselves, too, I believe. That makes this album much more special to me.


title: The short fall offs on the release are an excellent touch. So much good mileage out of a ...

text:
1-Love the riff on "Grip". The short fall offs on the release are an
excellent touch.So much good mileage out of a lead sheet composition.
Great solo! And Maestro Sarin never disappoints.

2-"Erstwhile's" colors are glorious. Bowed bass and bone multiphonics
are close on the spectrum making for extremely subtle shading as Joe and Rob trade pedal point
duties. Michael's brush  work adds much to the introduction. The transition, through arco
bass, into the groove  (guanaco?) works exceedingly well. The
percussion fills leading into the cadences are magical.
 Rob's playing is growing on me. He also never overplays. One must
listen on the edge of one's seat  in order to not miss something
intricate and beautiful. As a bass player I have to say I
appreciate a horn player adding a riff or a bass line to my
improvisations. It works here. Reminds me of how Miles (late stuff),
Cherry, Coleman and Max Roach (late quartet and double quartet) would
have another soloist join in at climaxes to get the burn. Mr. Fiedler's solo is
killing on this one. What a build-what a peak. After the opening
lyrical phrases he gathered energy with drum rudiment like patterns,
then began free flight climbs to  those iterated high G naturals.
Perfect and logical wind down. Delicious.
 And the incomplete return to the introduction textures was the right
choice. Just enough to make us connect through time to the beginning
of the composition.

3-"In Walked Cleo" What a lovely tune with a gently rolling West
African feel. I hope your beautiful daughter appreciates the love.
 Modulating to straight ahead four for your swinging and lyrical solo-cool.
 Rob's solo uses strategic harmonics, open string effects and changes
of pulse to very good  effect.

4-"Moving in Silence"  Another fascinating free-ish introduction. This
time the close colors are the pizz bass and brush work. Convoluted shading again-perfect backdrop
for Maestro Fiedler's amazing muted lines. Rob's solo here swings with funky nonchalance invoking big band
writing. The intuitive, spontaneous interplay with Michael here is priceless.
The trombone solo underscores my opinion that Joe never runs out of new
ideas or the chops to execute them flawlessly. The reprise of the head connects seamlessly
to the end of the solo.
I'm always a fool for foot stomping and swinging call and response.
The La Do Do phrase alternating with scooped multiphonic chords.
Rockin'.
The muted trombone benediction catches fire.

5-"The New Denizens"
I really like Rob's sense of form in his
improvisations. He builds things.
Outlying tonal areas get assembled with rudimental quasi baseline
structures, double stop over laps of texture, coloristic effects and
unique feels and are all connected by sarod-like lyrical wanderings.
A charming tune with underpinning harmony sketched by the bass line
and a Mancini style peak. The syncopated rhythmic unisons at the end
of the primary section are so simple but so right.
The double time feel coda is catchy and ebullient and its return is
the ideal wrap up at the end of the track.
So much communication among trio members on the trombone solo. Michael also
never over plays and he builds with Joe adding lower parts of the set
as he peak. He plays so essentially, in the sense of "essence" and so
indispensably that a single note on a tom is like a revelation.

6-"I'm In" I like this opening cadenza too. I'd like to find time to
transcribe it as well. Interesting to note similarities and
differences. This one is shorter and gets to the shred sooner.
This head is an attractive piece of musical architecture. The first
part with its end of phrase Oliver Nelson conjuration in layered
rhythm patterns, the sudden interpolation of a few measures of walking
bass line and the octave unison looping cadence creates a tension that
unfolds gracefully into the release with its swoops to interesting
notes and makes the repetition of the first section as logical as the
double bar in sonata allegra form.
The trombone solo plays the topography of the form and feels, always returning
to the pedal tonic E managing to make it sound fresh with each cycle.
Rob leaves me with several "ear worms"-phrases that come back on
repeated listenings like old friends. The opening repeated "sol la sol
me do" and in particular the one that sounds "te sol me te (open D) fa
(open A) Do (open E)"  beginning triplets with a rest and then the
miraculous repetition which outlines a Bb major harmony. Cool stuff.
The natural harmonic high D natural as he comes back to the groove for
the recap rings in the memory too.

7-"Completely 'peccable" Funky. Its a small touch, but I really like
the bass changing from low octave G to E to high octave G to E just
before the trombone entrance. It made the trombone leap out of the
bass line. The devil is in the details.
The descending riff in multiphonic harmony before the Mangelsdorff-ian
final phrase is arresting. D7sus4 resolving to Bm/D-Bb to Db/Ab and
ultimately Am, if I'm not mistaken. A new incorporation of the
Mangelsdorff vocabulary. Well done.
The second thematic section is like an eruption after the stop time. I
like the end of phrase lyrical turns after the wide leaps.
Interesting plunger work on the bone solo-darkening fragments of lines
and certain notes, lip trills, stutters and growls. Beautiful rhythmic
cadence agitation leading into Rob's solo-ending precisely on the last
metric unit before the downbeat.
I notice another feature of Rob's playing. He always maintains
rhythmic interest, often with variable, single beat cells that remind
me of flexible poetic "feet". A feature that seems to me to be West
African in origin since it is difficult to think of many European
examples that don't settle into a single beat/pulse division. He also
stretches the harmony in inventive ways here. Beginning with a
modified version of the A section bass line (the previously mentioned
variable "foot" procedure) he jumps to a syncopated -Te Fa--Te-Fa Te
Fa figure in natural harmonics. Akin to Michael's use of a single tom
inserted into a very different texture, Rob makes an open string,
strategically placed, into a revelation. His exit phrase before the
trombone returns with the melody is classic-thumb position E to high C
the the open E string. And always swinging "Impeccably".

8-"The Box"  The shade of Charlie Parker hovers on this head but it
still has the "Fiedler flavor".  Mostly diatonic short sub-phrase
units in shifted rhythms. Good to hear syncopations in odd meters
(11/4......7/4 (with superimposed 3:5 (?) +4/4 with an anacrusis
elision on the loop?).
The bass entering in rhythmic unison on the tritone is a crafty touch.
Fascinating use of space between phrases in the early stages of the
thoughtful bone solo. Favorite phrase at 2:30 beginning on Eb with
descending off beats roiling into convoluted 8th note ascent like
white water rapids rounding a turn.
I find the shifting colors of Mike's hand muted/natural cymbal and
closed/open hat and other sounds in Latin cowbell figures behind Rob's
solo irresistible.
I like the bass line riff before the recap. (Redivision of the bar
into 5/4 + 6/4?).

9-"Tensegrity" More percussive, lyrical melodicism from Maestro
Sarin's introduction. He brings the great Max Roach to my mind in that
the set seems like a small orchestra in his hands. Wonderful
stratification of colors, klang farben and multi-timbral phrases that
sometimes end in single, "point of light" rim tap or gentile tom tones
that seem to let me hear the inside of the drum. The use of rolls on
two drums as a motif and brief snare rolls in longer lines gives a
richness to the linear conception.
The trombone solo is one of my favorites from Joe. Unending cascade of
swinging ideas.The implied, silent peak arc at 2:20 is very Miles like
and logical. He achieves a Rosalino/Watrous style,  extended, long
line, straight ahead lyricism.
Rob superimposes a 3/8 poetic foot at the beginning of his solo and
gets an understated, orchestral climax with his trade mark use of
harmonics at 3:41. As always, he gets a very natural, wood vibrating
sound on the instrument from which the open strings and natural
harmonics create subtle tonal variations.

Great work! Congrats to you and your partners in crime.
An indispensable  addition to the trombone trio canon.


title: Title correction

text: The $ sign is incorrect.  The album (I have it in my hand!) is named "Cool & Unusual Punishment" to be exact.  Just stopped by on a search for the cover art to post to my music database and this was a hard one to find.  Thanks to the fan who posted this image!

title: Great addition to my jazzz collection

text: Double CD set of Jazz standards. Good recording.


title: Three Stars

text: Last year's CD was sooo much better. Oh well.


title: Which is most enchanting: the music, the playing or the lute?

text:
All three, of course. I have just finished sampling this CD and it is going straight from my wish list to my list of purchases for next month. Jakob Lindberg is not new to me; he appears in two other CDs I own, both of which are among my favourites. But his Weiss is new to me, and indeed I haven't been acquainted with Weiss himself for very long. But his music is definitely equal to anything by Bach. It's a bit like Bach at his most genial. I will probably also be looking for more Weiss played by Lindberg on his magical Sixtus Rauwolf instrument. The biggest problem I find with Weiss is that it is extremely difficult to work out whether I already own too much of what is on the CD I am considering for it to be a worthwhile investment because there are not usually any compositional numbers (e.g., Op.1) to identify the sonatas. I have very shallow pockets so my CD collection is never going to be as large as many other "classical" collections. My LP collection reached only somewhere between 800 and 850 discs.

Since writing the above I have managed to purchase the CD and therefore hear it all the way through. Go beg or borrow if you have to (or sell something you can do without) to get yourself a copy. Unfortunately, after listening to this CD I find it’s not a good idea to play other lute recordings straight after. Their sounds don’t bear comparison to the sound of this lute, sometimes coming across as rather twangy. I believe Martin Haycock builds copies of Lindberg’s Rauwolf. I wonder if they sound as good.


title: AMAZING MUSIC and performances to match

text:
Weiss is held to be the greatest lutenist who ever lived, with those who came after “mere imitators”, which makes today’s best lute virtuosi among those imitators. But Michel Cardin is definitely Weiss’s equal; none of the difficulties in this music seem to faze him. Everything is beautifully phrased and there is never any doubt that he loves the music, which is every bit the equal of Bach at his most amiable.

Brilliant Classics have done it again: given us beautiful music, magnificently played and well recorded at a very reasonable price. If you find (as I did) that the last two tracks of Volume 1 are missing, just go to Michel Cardin’s web site and contact him. He provided a special download for me. However, I hope Brilliant Classics have now fixed the problem.

This is a must-have for lovers of the lute or of Baroque music in general. And what’s not to love in both?


title: I hereby dub Andrew Lawrence-King “Magician of the Harp”

text:
Whenever Andrew Lawrence-King sits down to record a solo recital you know you are in for a real treat. He delivers absolutely magical sounds from all his Tim Hoborough-built harps with their gut strings. I still remember my introduction to his playing. Before then I had always had an attitude to the harp as a solo instrument similar to that of Mozart’s. The recording was The Harp of Luduvico and it drew my attention (in a catalogue from Hyperion) because of its title. Then I read John Duarte’s review of it in Gramophone Magazine, where he finished by writing, "Many harp recordings come close to 'wallpaper' music by which to dream; if you can doze off before this one ends you should consult your doctor. Treat yourself to it, even if it means pawning something you can live without.”

This recording is a little different. Lawrence-King doesn’t get carried away as he does in Divisions on Paradetas from The Harp of Ludovico, where he is fair thumping the strings at the end (to breathtaking effect!). This recording requires the listener to turn up the volume, especially as it starts very quietly with Handel’s King David’s Air. The rest of the CD consists of
Froberger: Toccata in D minor
Bach, J S: Prelude
Buxtehude: Suite d’Amour: Allemande d’Amour; Courante;Sarabande d'Amour & Sarabande II; Gigue
Buxtehude: Passacaglie
Weckmann: Toccata IV in A minor
Anon.: Aria & Menuets in A minor
Fischer, J K F: Prelude in F
Bach, J S: Suite for Lute in E Major, BWV 1006a: Prelude; Loure; Gavotte en Rondeaux; Menuet l & ll; Bourée; Gigue
Bach, J S: Prelude in C
Bach, J S: Goldberg Variations, BWV988: Aria
Anon.: David of the White Rock (Dafydd y garreg-wen)

I love hearing the Aria from the Goldberg Variations as it is played here. It is every bit as good as my favourite recording of The Goldbergs (Pierre Hantaî). The transcription of the Bach lute suite has quickly become my favourite performance (and I have no less than Podger on the violin version and O'Dette on the lute one). I particularly like the way Lawrence-King treats the repeated phrases in this music as though they were echoes; its a fantastic effect. There are also some delicious added ornaments in the third movement of the lute suite (Gavotte and Rondo).

If no music critic has given Lawrence-King a title (as they gave Dame Emma Kirkby the title "The Divine Emma") then they should. He does, however, have the privilege of being the most recorded harpist in history.


title: Full-blooded and full-bodied performances

text:
Gary Cooper makes full use of the Derek Adlam copy of an Anton Walter fortepiano from 1795, making the listener very much aware of how much pianists using Steinways have to rein in their instruments for playing Mozart. Podger uses a violin from 1739 by Pesarinius. Youthful verve and exquisite musicianship meet here to make for some of the most enjoyable performances of these works ever recorded. The sonatas are not recorded in chronological sequence, which makes a lot of sense because otherwise the earlier works are likely to be skipped.

For the very early sonatas Cooper uses a Kirckman harpsichord, which suits the music admirably.

Whatever you do, don't buy here. It is way too expensive! It really irks me that a lot of music retailers think all lovers of Classical music have bottomless bank accounts. Prestoclassical's web site has it for NZ$57 (which at the moment is not a lot more than US$41). Their postal charges are also very reasonable, which is more than can be said for Amazon's marketplace.


title: This review is for the paperback edition

text:
Joe Quail was climbing a dream stairway. Below him, magical towers poked through a fading sunset. Above him, the stairs soared and swooped dizzily until they reached the stars.

The Princess of Afterdark was calling him. 'Where are you, Joe?'

'I'm coming,' he said sleepily.

At last Joe found her, on the highest step of all, her wild hair blowing in the night sky. 'Who do you need me to fight this time? Trolls, dragons, evil enchanters?'

'No, Joe, it's your world which is in trouble now. And the danger is much closer than you think--'

But before she could explain, the air filled with horrible sighs. The stairway slowly cracked down the middle. As the half of the stair with the princess on it began to drift away, she cried, 'Wake up, Joe! Wake up, before it's too late!'

Vasco Shine is a threat to every child because he steals their dreams. In the second book of the Afterdark series Joe, Kevin and pale, prickly Flora have to go to the fantastic Kingdom of Afterdark, where nothing and no one is what it seems, to stop him. The three friends travel through paradise islands, magical dream fields and terrifying dangers searching for the Pearl of the Deep, the key to Vasco's wickedness ...

It isn't necessary to have read the first Afterdark book to enjoy this enchanting and imaginative novel. Annie Dalton, writing with her usual grace and flair, manages to pack an amazing amount of action and characterisation into 183 pages and (as can be seen from the above quote, which is the beginning of the book) she plunges the reader straight into the magic and excitement of Afterdark with the story's first sentence.


title: Great buy!

text: This arrived sooner than expected so that was awesome. I wish in the US artists included all these extras in their CDs, might make more people buy them again instead of streaming all the time!


title: Pop queens strike again

text: Amazing album by the best girl group out there and cute packaging.


title: MONO - NOT Stereo

text: The customer has every right to assume that a recording purchased decades earlier on vinyl in STEREO will be re-released in digitally remastered CD form in STEREO as well. This is a MONAURAL recording, inferior in every way aurally to the original vinyl version.


I was very excited about this purchase because I had no idea such a version -- black velvet case -- existed. Unfortunately, there was a saw mark clear through the binding edge. The disc was unharmed and played fine. Since it will never be a collector's item, and it was very reasonably priced, I did not mind so much. I refuse to "pitch a fit." 99% of the things I purchase meet or exceed expectations, so why complain when there is a hiccup in the road?


title: Beautiful piano

text: Has been long past owning vinyl records of Henry Mancini and Peter Nero who are on my favorite pianists list. Thoroughly enjoyed all 4 CDs.

title: One of my favorite CDs

text: The group "Reunion" includes two of the three original members of the Lettermen, and as was the case with the Lettermen, Reunion's sound is outstanding.  Their voices blend beautifully, and the arrangements of each song on this album are outstanding.  It is a pleasure to listen to.  The songs are mostly spiritual in nature, which is why this is my favorite of all the Reunion albums.  Since it is out of circulation, I was thrilled to find it.  I love this CD!

title: Best Rosary CD with Meditations

text:
I must say this is one of the best Rosary CD's I have used that incorporates a meditation based on each of the decade mysteries with sound effects and music for each of the 20 decades.
The CD also has a few other standard prayers which are done professionally and spiritually charged - well worth the cost.

title: Absent Kempe's earlier recording for RCA, this one is a good first choice

text: This is one of the best "Alpensinfonie" recordings available; Rudolf Kempe is pretty much unsurpassed in Strauss.  That having been said, I've always preferred Kempe's earlier recording of the work with (I believe) the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.  It was released by RCA (on LP) in the late 1960s and has not, to my knowledge, ever been reissued on CD.  Whoever owns the RCA stable these days could do worse than taking a look at it.  The RCA recording offers up just a slight extra degree of majesty in those extroverted segments (The Sunrise, The Summit, etc.) that benefit from it.  In any event, nobody who is unfamiliar with the work should continue overlooking it.  It packs the sort of sonic and emotional wallop that only Strauss can manufacture.

title: The Kitchen Tapes, Ron Davies

text:
For any singer-songwriter lover, -- great content. So many tracks, --truly a kitchen tapes bundling.

The Mix is fine, what one may expect.

One could use these as "Reference Tracks"... I would have loved to have heard these done with Bass Guitar and Drum Kit... but would want both versions anyway, Vocal and Guitar only as well.

I am so glad I found these through a friend of a friend who knew him "when". I went looking for his music, "demos", etc. Great stuff for anyone who likes this genre.

title: Faun is delighful

text: Another Faun classic


title: Beautiful collection of ballads

text: Faun is a great group doing folk music with a pagan twist in some songs.


title: Celina y Reutilio in the 1950s

text: I first heard Celina's song "Que viva Chango!" on one of my trips to visit family in Cuba over the radio.  When she performed a modern version some 5 years earlier, it was an instant hit in the Cuban Lucumi community as well as most Cubans.  I found other of her CDs and found I enjoyed her "Guajiro" style music a great deal.  This particular CD is of their music from the time my parents were my age, and very popular in circles that favor the "guajiro" style when both her and her husband performed together.  Well worth getting to hear their style form that time and their other songs that give the listener a glimpse into the guajiro of per-revolutionary Cuba.


title: This recording was the first of similar sounding recordings by Konstantin Klashtorni.

text: Klashtorni has put together at least seven cd's which all sound pretty much alike. They are all easy to listen to and good to relax to. However, none of them stands out above the others. Groove Jazz N Chill #1 sounds pretty much like Groove Jazz N Chill #7. That doesn't mean that I don't like #1. I guess that's my way of saying that #1 sounds like #7 which sounds like #2 which sounds like #4, which is, in fact, my favorite.


title: Nice

text: My son wanted this. He seems to really enjoy it.


title: Amazing music.  Peppy, and uplifting.

text: This young lady is amazing.  This album is first class.  Jen Ledger is the drummer for Skillet, but she has added so much to that band it was inevitable she'd do some solo work.  You've heard her vocals with Skillet, she's an amazing drummer as well.  This album is classic and John Cooper lends some depth to some of the songs just to keep it interesting.


title: Timeless classical music for new and old ears!

text: Music to my ears.  I'd previously owned the cassette (shocked face) version years ago, and didn't want to fight with getting it converted to CD's.  In the meantime, they've extended the collection to include more masterful works.  Any classical music lover should add this to their collection, or use this to start one!

title: Great voice, songs okay

text: I think her voice is wonderful but did not particularly enjoy the songs. They seemed to sound the same after the first few.


title: Different than what I was searching for, but equally appreciated

text: I was actually looking for a two CD set titled THEN SINGS MY SOUL, Volume II, from Life Outreach International, with 30 classic hymns with full instrumentation.  However, what I found and purchased was this two CD set titled THEN SINGS MY SOUL, Volume I and II, from Life Outreach International, with 27  classic hynns presented with full instrumentation.  I do wish CDs had unique numbers such as books and ISBN numbers.  I believe it would be easier to locate the exact one.  Even though it is different than the one I was searching for, I do enjoy this Vol I (Strings) and Vol II (Instrumental).

title: Worth It. Still Remember What I Learned.

text:
Pimsleur method is very highly effective. I especially love that Pimsleur has separate products for Brazilian and European Portuguese, so there’s no confusion whatsoever when you’re learning local terms and pronunciation. For example, rapariga in Portugal means girl, but can be offensive (prostitute or mistress) in Brazil where they use menina. Other lesson books/CDs will have you learn both Portuguese and Brazilian sentence structure and words. (abacaxi/ananas pineapple)

There’s a lot of word repetition, different uses of the same word as you build vocabulary in the early lessons which enable you to start speaking right away. You’ll need to be patient because it may feel like you’re spending an hour learning only five words or something but it really sticks! Everything I’ve learned from these lessons nearly ten years ago I still know, even though the last time I traveled to Portugal was four years ago.

Pimsleur is pricy but it’s worth it. If you’re going to get an audiotape, get Pimsleur.


title: Helios Creed is constantly re-inventing himself...

text:
Helios Creed, the acid-punk, space rock genius, has been recording albums/music constantly and consistently since he first joined up with Damon Edge to make CHROME what it was, back in 1977. And of course has since carried on the CHROME legacy and as well has gone on to record his own solo material with a bevy of absolutely incredible albums- many of which are, sadly, out of print.

These tracks on "Not Without Sorcery" are what Helios recorded, for lack of better words, during an "interim" period; meaning these are recordings that lie between the recordings of his last full length album "Deep Blue Love Vacuum", and his forthcoming albums (CHROME and Helios Creed solo), which will hopefully be released sooner than later.

For anyone who isn't already a Helios/Chrome fan- this may not be the best example of what Helios is all about, as it definitely isn't produced or configured the way most of his other albums are. Nonetheless, it's Helios all the way, and a great little EP that- for those who know, love and "get" Helios- is an absolute MUST have. All of the tracks are great, and definitely showcase his knack for coming up with super catchy, and trippy riffs- along with his dark goofiness, which comes shining through in "Win you over Again" where he's definitely not hiding the fact that he truly enjoys, and has a blast making music. The fun is pretty damn contagious! In my opinion, the highlight of this EP is the track "Lion's Gate" which is spacey, catchy, and outright beautiful with a captivating intensity but, as I stated before- ALL the tracks are great. And may or may not end up appearing on any future release(s) so my final recommendation- PICK THIS UP! While you still can. There were limited copies produced, and the price seems to spike up and down depending on demand but I have yet to see this go for less than $7-8. Definitely a collector's item and one to enjoy and play as well as hold on to. :-)

This particular cut oozes with sex appeal..there are different versions..one of the versions let's you know what it is that's MIND BLOWING!

title: Enya's greatest Hits

text: If you love Enya, you'll love this.  I didn't pay attention when I ordered it and didn't realize until 3 weeks later when I got it it's imported from St Petersburg Russia.  I I had realized that I may not of ordered it, but after getting it I'm sure glad I did.  What makes it different from Enya's US Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya and the Very Best of Enya is that you get 44 songs with 21 songs that are not on the other two greatest his.  Don't read Russian that's alright, the song list on the back cover and listed on each CD is in English.  There is an information page that is all in Russian but as long as I can read the song list I'm happy.  It's a great CD and Enya is world wide!


title: Fun and Funny

text: This is very funny take-off on an old negro church sermon. It would probably not get published today as it would be seen as racialist, but the "preacher" does an accurate dialect. I remember this record from my boyhood. It reminds me of some of the black services I attended as a kid with my grandmother in South Carolina; it was a favorite of my parents, and I'm glad to have it in my collection of nostalgia for a happier time.

text: JUST TERRIFIC.  EXCELLENT QUALITY.  LOVE THE CD.  THANK YOU.


title: Great service and price

text: For my entertainment great oldies brings back good memories


title: When Rock'n' Roll was young

text: The CD is another great addition to Time Life's pre-60's Rock 'n' Roll Era music. Most of us, including myself, listened to these tunes on scratchy AM radio or on 45 single records at parties or dances. In my case I was an Air Force dependent with my family in France back in mid 1957 to late 1959. These year-to-year compilations of the Top 40 tunes allow you the opportunity to get a tight, "musical snapshot" of that specific time. Highly recommended.


title: Time, time, what's become of me?

text: Once again Time-Life has published an excellent compilation of the late 60's Rock 'n Roll. I especially like to listen and reminisce by specific year. So many flashbacks to my college Sophomore days. All of the (originally vinyl) tracks on this CD were of course first heard on the scratchy AM radio so it's an added treat to hear on modern devices and without the commercial breaks.


title: Great as Ever

text: Nothing unexpected as usual for the Time - Life series. Just great songs from a great time.


title: Good for a particular song

text: Did my research and found "Smoke Two Joints" by The Toyes on this CD so I bought it. Another case of unbridled guilty pleasure. The other tracks are fundamentally arcane by my Baby Boomer preferences. And the kicker is that track that I bought the CD for is at the very last.


title: English Types

text: The CD title purports to contain forty(!)classic hits from the 60s. Well, it does have a number of familiar songs on CD1 and a brief but sociological informative liner note about the "golden epoch". There are also quite a few lesser known/arcane British artists/groups included in the playlist. Some that even I vaguely recall like Lonnie Donegan's "My Old Man's a Dustman". One has the strong impression that the music selection reflects what was being played on AM radio in the UK in the early/mid-60s. So...if that stirs your curiosity then go for it.


title: More Than a Few Pearls

text: Most of the tracks on this CD are available in other collections or on compilations of the individual artist or group. What really makes this worthwhile is the particular selection of hits from 1960-1964. There is a certain "flavor" to the 60s pop music that this CD captures. Moreover, there are a couple of songs that didn't seem to get much AM radio playing time back then but are, in my estimation, great to hear again. In this case the playlist has The Ventures "Perfidia" and Dion's "Little Diane". The sound quality is of course excellent.


title: What's There Not to Like?

text: Here again Time-Life Music has, through their copyright and editing prowess, put together another excellent compilation of Top 40 (or close to) hits from the beginning of the 60's. For a Baby-Boomer like me it's the closest thing to having a time traveling AM radio. Even better - without the commercials! Great stuff from a great time. Heartily recommended.


title: Good job

text: The product arrived on time and in excellent condition.  I was pleased with the experience.


title: MWAHAHAHAHA!

text: l love it. When my kids were young I would put on tbis LP and blast them out of bed on house cleaning day. Now they're brown and have kids of their own. teeeeheeee. Next time they come to visit I'm gonna do it all over again. Cannot WAIT.


title: It came...

text: In good condition, and was a great gift. It was just what I asked for and needed for a good fgift.


title: I ordered wrong one

text: Also the case was cracked, with library stickers on it, and that combined with the fact that it was the wrong one, meant I couldn't give it as a gift. Oh well gotta eat this one.


title: Very relaxing

text: Working with Steve was a pleasure. He wrote the music and I performed it. Many of my friends have enjoyed this cd.


title: Perfect

text: Just what I wanted.

text: Daughter loves it thank you. Shipped faster than expected


title: Hard-to-find classic

text: Glad I have my vinyl, since right now I can only find this on YouTube. Guess I will have to use the "regular tools" to make my own CD until Amazon gets this back in stock. Worth the price for Guyana Punch and All The Pretty Girls alone.

Woodland sound and bad new age music meditation CD. No vocals at all. No Pranayama instruction. You won't learn anything from this one.

text: Love this song!  The vocalist is just amazing!


title: Ecstatic singing!

text: The chants, the musicians and Yofiyah's voice enchanting and uplifting. I wish she had recorded more music. Bhakti yoga at it's best.


title: MORE  Beautiful Gospel Music. !!!

text:
As stated in my reviews of  the other music I ordered from Elvis Gospel collection , this one is also
full of wonderful sounds of heavenly gospel songs.  Very pleased with the quality of the music and the prices.  This tape case was also cracked like the others but it did not harm the sound of the tapes.
I listen to them regularly and am very pleased with the sound.


title: The Marvelous Johnny Mathis !!!

text: I am so pleased that I ordered this CD "The Real Johnny Mathis" !!  I have an extended collection of this  master musician and singer and this is a great addition to it.  I have played this over and over again since receiving it and love it.  It is a great collection of Mathis  in his younger days.  I recommend it to all Mathis fans.  It was shipped in less time than I expected and arrived well packed.  Thanks again Amazon.


title: Great harmony

text: I've loved the harmony of The Lettermen for the past 45 years and this cd didn't disappoint.
