title: A kitsch disc from another era

text: In the early 60s I was a teen who found the gritty US TV series such as NAKED CITY, THE FUGITIVE, THE DEFENDERS and their ilk engrossing and fascinating. A few years ago an Australian TV network ran the NAKED CITY TV series late at night. I recorded it and found it stood up well dramatically despite harking back to 1959-1963. Over the closing credits I noticed promotion for this album. I assumed it would be a musical album featuring more of the cool jazz music used frequently in the show. Recently I found a second-hand copy for sale on Amazon and I sent for it. It was not what I expected. It is a sound-only simplified dramatic story of the type usually featured in the series. It is well produced and has some snatches of good music but it is not ripe for repeated listening. I would have preferred an exclusively musical album consisting of themes from the excellent TV episodes so I found the album disappointing. For anyone interested in 60s artifacts and kitsch it could be a rewarding item. For me it has slaked my curiosity but is ultimately a failure.

title: Beautiful music from a saint

text: It is very good music and I love Lindsey Stirling's soul. Bless her music.


My wife and daughter both Love this album. The songs are all well written and very catchy. In addition to actually teaching the kids things they can actually put to real use. I would highly recommend this CD.


title: 5/5

text: I received the group version of the album. Love it, I want to get the other nine now! Would recommend, but I did find it a bit odd, but I got a 2ne1 and Hello Venus posters with my purchase. Luckily I like both of those groups, but I was expecting a SNSD poster. Thanks again!

text: Jeffery May is a true Worship Leader!  We are so fortunate to have him lead us in praise and worship at our church each Sunday.  His music ministry alone has brought so many people back to God.<br />I am so thankful to have these recordings to enjoy every other day of the week!

title: Good music from a 1990's special band

text: Big Tent Revival was my second "Christian rock" concert, and they were great musicians, and committed to Christ.<br />This double album contains their best two albums in my opinion.

text: Autographed by whole band. Great live performances


title: THE Summer song of the decade!

text:
1. Red Flavor
2. You Better Know
3. Zoo
4. Mojito
5. Hear the Sea

This is probably the album that established Red Velvet as the summer girls of Kpop.
If you know anything about Red Velvet it's probably the album's main track, Red Flavor. Even if you don't know the song you may be familiar with the music video and have searched for it by typing in "That kpop video with the fruit girls" or something. Red Flavor was and still is extremely popular as a summer anthem in South Korea, it's probably their most famous song. It's even got an orchestral remix version in the works!

The entire album has very strong summery vibes, and it's home to one of my favorite Red Velvet B-sides, You Better Know. The song is just really sweet, and it gives them a chance to really belt out some beautiful notes that Red Velvet is known for. The vocal ability of their members cannot be overstated and that song shows it.
The first two tracks alone make this album noteworthy, but the other are great too. I really like the quirkiness of Zoo, it's got animal sounds and Seulgi doing a Tarzan yell, what's not to love? It may only be a 5 track EP, but we're going with quality over quantity here.

It closes out with Hear the Sea, which is a soft, piano-y ballad perfect for listening to at the end of a nice summer evening.

The album comes with a random photocard and an attached 80 page photobook with some pretty good shots.

title: One of the best Red Velvet albums!

text:
In my opinion, Russian Roulette is one of their stronger EPs to date. The title track is really fun and memorable, as is the music video.
Overall the album is pretty upbeat, there isn't any song on there that I would call a ballad. My favorite two songs are Lucky Girl and Bad Dracula. Lucky Girl has an interesting big band, swing jazz style to it, proving yet again that Red Velvet can fit into a diverse range of styles. The instrumentals incorporate saxophone swings and a lot of heavy brass: trombones, trumpets etc. Even a refrain of "shoo bee doo" during the chorus.
Bad Dracula is a really high energy electro-pop song that's kind of funny. The lyrics tell us it's sung from the perspective of a young vampire who just wants to dance, party, and hang out with a cute guy instead of be a scary monster. She's a "Bad Dracula".

The album comes with a photocard and an attached 50 page photobook.
Track names are as follows:

1. Russian Roulette
2. Lucky Girl
3. Bad Dracula
4. Sunny Afternoon
5. Fool
6. Some Love
7. My Dear

If you're a Red Velvet or Kpop fan, you'll love this album!


title: Good sound, good show

text: Good sound quality. A nice show. I enjoy it. But I am not a serious Dead Head so others may differ.


This is one of the best dance albums ever! The mixes are phenomenal; they last forever, but are never fatiguing. If you're a fan of dance/house or if you want to party all night get this album!!! It's a shame that Amazon isn't carrying any of Black Coffee's cds; it needs to. The discs are hard to find, but every one is gold! Search this out and all of Black Coffee's discs; you won't be disappointed!!!


title: If you liked 1234....

text: Buy this CD. A great record, no dead wood, it rocks throughout. Also, saw the band at Maxwells, NJ and they are  a nice group of people, who happily signed my CD.


title: THE BEST Over All!

text:
This is THE MASTERPIECE CD by The Moments!
I Wish there were More Copies available.
I Love EVERY Song on it!
I Missed The Cover Too....with Them, The Girl, and Those Pillows!
I'll Miss Harry Ray and The Crew.


title: What a tribute?!

text: On my country we have a proverbial that said.."The way to Hell have a lot of good intentions..." And this is one of them...Present like a IN MEMORY OF RICHARD WRIGHT (of Pink Floyd) and support of Jon Carin, Scott Page and Storm Thorgerson (on visuals), sound like a preambolous to Pre Dark Side of the Moon, but too enourmosly pretentious, if you are looking for a fan-aficionado issue try this one, if you really love Floyd-items maybe this will be disapointed


title: The Most Amazing Band Ever

text: Absolutely breathtaking! I'm a HUGE ID fan!<br />The music is fantastic. It's a mix of rock and drama, with hints of 80s rock mixed in too. I can't describe how much I love their music! I'm not a huge fan of pop music so Imagine Dragons is where I go to escape. I deal with anxiety and depression and these albums are such an amazing getaway for me. I pop in my earbuds and get transported into the music; the smooth yet grunge voice of Dan Reynolds, the incredible electric guitar playing, and the amazing beat of every song. They are not only great songs, they're also just super fun to listen to while doing. . . really anything! I HIGHLY encourage listening to Imagine Dragons! You will not regret it! I also recommend listening to Mercury Acts 1 and 2 as well! Every song is fantastic!


title: It's really a shame...

text: ...that the radio hits for this artist don't include such delights as the ones in this album.  It's as if it's out of print.  One cannot even get it on cd.  Here we can find not only the radio hit Culpable Soy Yo, but also Ven, Shalom, No Te Pareces A Nadie, Himno A La Alegria, Tu Rival, Pareces Feliz, and others that I cannot remember off the top of my head right now.  There are just too many songs in this artist's career that did not make it into the radio hits and, therefore, are not included in the several "Greatest Hits" and the like available now.  You will miss memorable songs like the ones mentioned above and others in other albums that are not included in the top hits cd's.


title: Quality and price

text: The product was described as good. For its age, it was described accurately.

We got In Freedom's Cause as a History Supplement :)  My girls LOVE LOVE LOVE this and it is frequently asked for!  We have had family who have traced my husbands side of the family as far back as Bloody Mary - doing just a little bit of research means we are related to Robert the Bruce as well - which has brought their family history and history together for them!  Thank you for coming out with this!  It has truly been a blessing for trips in the car!


title: I even returned it and was sent a second copy and it was no better. Don't know from what source these were recorded ...

text: The sound quality on this CD is absolutely awful. I even returned it and was sent a second copy and it was no better. Don't know from what source these were recorded from but I was greatly disappointed. The music is fine with Paul Anka in his early prime, but the sound is terrible. It sounds muffled throughout. Hoping that at least the "Our Man Around The World" re appears in a much better remastering than this.

text: I love my CD!..I've enjoyed listening to the music!


title: Great Gospel Music!

text: Excellent Cd, this man is a true man of GOD!! If u never heard him sing,buy it today u won't go wrong


title: Yay!!!!!

text: The case was bend pretty bad on one side and the casing on it was cracked on the top. If it had bent more the cd would have been broken. Other than that this album and book is flawless and I’m so happy to have finally received it.


title: Exceptional....a MUST for your home!

text: Excellent book and production! My children couldn't stop listening to it over and over. You made the war come alive for them and the character of Robert E. Lee was such a Godly example for my boys to hear. Thank you for producing this. I highly recommend for all ages to listen to!


title: too expensive

text: Great music, but way too much money for such a short amount of music on the cd.


title: There are some wonderful moments here

text: AS the liner notes say, this is to be taken as an incomplete work. There are some wonderful moments here, but each track is to be digested separately. If the tracks are viewed in such a way, one can immerse themselves wonderfully for brief moments of time.


title: good

text: as advertised . good


title: as listed

text: The album arrived well packaged and protected.  I've played the album through several times and it's perfect :)  Thank you!


title: Amazing Soundtrack

text: nice


title: Plenty of drive and possibly the best sonics

text: I don't know why some think there's not much drive on this recording. Slatkin is aggressive and precise and the sound, particularly in 24/96, is some of the best recorded Rachmaninov you'll ever hear. Must have recording.

text: Loved these songs from Ricky Tanner that we heard him sing in our youth.


title: not quite "lands end"

text:
"ceramic" seems a side project (for the "lands end" band), which evidences less of a "prog" feel/focus than either the prior "terra serranum" or the following "an older land" releases from the main band...i appreciate this glimpse at the musicians' other interests but, frankly, i prefer the prog that led me to these folks.

since they're not in the product description, the tracks on my copy of the cd are:
01 - heinrich and henrietta's love child
02 - end of the night
03 - end of another night
04 - wonton
05 - decaf
06 - caught on the spot
07 - groovy doobie
08 - so long...
09 - hypothermia

(my style notwithstanding, the lower case in those titles are from the band/cd, not me.)
ttfn,

title: Home to Momma

text: I do not own this particular Patrizio album I do have his "The Italian Live in Concert" dvd and it is great.  The songs are the same as Home with the exception of Winter Wonderland and That's Amore.  On the "Live" dvd there are extras including an interview, the Il Mondo video, footage of A Man Without Love, Parla, On An Evening in Roma & That's Amore.  There is also a photo session in Naples which is great as it shows sections of the city where he was born.  He and his family are shown having a reunion. The dvd plays great on my computer but not on any of my dvd players.  Doesn't matter, he gives such a good show.  Hope someday he will be in the Atlanta, GA area and I can see him in person.  I highly recommend either album, just depends what price you want to pay. Either way, it is great listening and PB is easy on the eyes.

text: This is my generation's "Praise & Worship". A blessing.


title: Wow

text: I am very impressed with this album (I bought the MP3s, though i don't think i would have been let down if i bought the $40 import).  I'm trying to put it and another cd on a blank cd and really can't find any B-side songs on it to cut.  Nick does a great job and the songs show off his voice.  It is such a fun cd, you put it in the car and you are instantly car dancing to to the first couple tracks!  The Just One Kiss Remix is amazing as well.  I absolutely 100% recommend this album to anyone who is a nick carter/backsteet boy fan.


title: De Tu Mano

text: A Coworker of mine loaned me this CD which she had gotten from her Church. She could not remember the name of the CD or the name of the Violinist. We finally got the info and I bought a CD,.sent it to my daughter who is a Therapist. She tells me it is so very beautiful and soothing and everyone loves it. Dionisio Oropeza should do more of these. He plays beautifully.


title: Good one from Rehman

text: Rehman did a good job on this movie album. Not even one song is boring. My favorites are one sung by ARR himself and another one by Sonu Nigam.Dil se re has amazing vocals. Sat rangi re is Sonu's best performance so far.


title: Bon retour... mais un peu voilé

text:
Les arrangements sont bons, les pièces aussi - plusieurs grands succès d'autres artistes (Je reviendrai à Montréal, C'est beau la vie).  René est accompagné par des gros canons : Céline Dion (Quand on s'aime), Jean-Pierre Ferland (Le petit roi).  Les tempos et rythmes surprennent un peu parfois par leur éloignement de la version originale, mais c'est aussi ce qui donne la touche spéciale à la pièce (C'est un beau roman).
René a, à mon goût, une facheuse tendance de chanter un peu en murmurant plutôt que d'y aller à pleine voix (serait-ce l'âge?), et malheureusement, Céline l'accompagne un peu de la même manière.
René s'amuse même à faire une référence à son "Oiseau" à la fin du succès d'Aznavour "Hier encore".
En somme, pas un mauvais disque, des pièces variées qui s'écoutent bien, bien ficelé au niveau de la production, mais qui ne rendent pas totalement justice aux compositeurs et aux interprètes.  Fera plaisir aux grands-mamans comme cadeau de Noël...


title: Amazing

text: This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Laura's new album Bells has some of these songs on it, but it is missing Trauma (the best song), and has a different version of Soljah. Seeing how much this album is going for used makes me incredibly happy that I already have it. If you can get a hold of this one, you should.


title: Eternal Woman - Petra Berger

text:
I totally enjoyed this CD. Petra Berger has a beautiful voice and her pitch is not too high. Her songs are a combination of Medieval and Celtic in texture. Very nice!  This CD is among one of my favorites and I think you should buy it.

title: I absolutely love his work with her and had high expectations for ...

text: I became aware of Hugh through Loreena McKennitt's band. I absolutely love his work with her and had high expectations for this album. I set myself up for a slight disappointment. The music genres are quite divergent. A very enjoyable work though. If I liked jazz as much as I do celtic music I would give 5 stars.

title: LIBERA-FREE-LIBRE

text:
"Free", at last. Waiting for it has been long, but it was worth. After having undergone the Matia Bazar experience, a roaring band of thousand ideas and metamorphoses,  Antonella Ruggiero decided to abandon the stage fed up of life in show business, not knowing for how long, but it did not matter at all. She yearned to recover her intimate and private life. She wanted to have a baby and shortly after he was born -hence a part of that ordinary life began to change due to an important achievement for a woman, becoming a mother...
Then, she started a new experience. She did not want to hear about singing again though. Her husband and producer Roberto refrained from putting pressure on her -nor did he hinder her choice for a peaceful life away from the world of sounds. Now Gabriele, their child, has the excellent and strange voice of his mother to himself. Maybe he is not yet aware of being the guardian of such a big treasure. Life passed by and as the child grew up, Antonella made up her mind to make the journey she always dreamed of...
To magical India, a world of contradictions, but full of spirituality, color, and sounds that nobody can remain indifferent to, specially a sensitive and remarkable singer still resting....thus, by being in touch with real people within a varied religious dimension, her forgotten and buried passion for singing was reborn and turned out sharp. A music whose only purpose is transmiting the sensations of joy and love was to blame -this is a serious matter. From that moment on, she would sing joyfully for the people to deliver happiness and serenity in a world made wretched by shallowness and economic interests that neglect the inner life of individuals. She felt free inside of herself and longed to share her beautiful experience with us...
"Free" (Libera, 1996) is her first solo album. It is filled with a sensation of spirituality coming from that recovered serenity and from an engaged and distant music that blends skillfully with our modern western rhythms. Her inimitable voice soars among notes as though time had made it even more beautiful and magic...
And so, she resolved to confront her past which was worth nothing anymore. And with a new brave impulse, she stood up and recorded her old repertory in the album "Modern Recordings" (Registrazioni Moderne). Her appearance in San Remo in 1998 brought her back on stage and into the world of Italian music. She was awarded a due second place won with a hoarse voice which proved that Antonella Ruggiero knew how to sing voiceless...
And to deliver joy too, next with a new song entitled "Far Distant Love" (Amore Lontanissimo), one of the most long awaited performances in concert. She returned to San Remo the following year with the song "I Don't Forget You" (Non Ti Dimentico) and again was awarded a second place, preceding the release of "Restless" (Sospesa), her third solo album, a record filled with air, wind, sky and imaginary dimensions, but also solid and calm at the same time. Her voice induces all the rest. The melodies are pleasent and embellished with improvisations that overcome the threshold of words and conventionalities of classical music. Touring is where Antonella does hers utmost, because acoustical arrangements make a more direct contact with her voice -the Tour 2000 is already ended...
Ethereal Antonella...when hearing her singing you have the impression of loosing the earth and taking flight with her voice. Who knows whatever she will attempt in her forthcoming work to be released in spring 2001, and whatever new and unimaginable thing her artistic creativity is holding in store for us. We can expect it to be more aware of the past, more sincere and free.
By Daniela Zeta (Translation: Benjamin Santa Maria)

The package comes with a great quality poster, 2 pc of with JB or Jinyoung, and 1 transparent pc. In addition, it also came with a mini poster of either Jinyoung or Jb. The photo essay came in amazing quality, the photos here and in the album were beautful and stunning. It's also comes with a genie card! Overall, I received all Jinyoung themed items.<br />Again, this was a beautifully crafted album and definitely worth the wait 😊

This CD fascinates me because I like classic jazz from the early years. If you guys like old time music, I would highly recommend this CD to your collection.

text: Had two of these albums on vinyl in the the early 70's and have been searching for their CD release for years.  Good sonics, as first or near first generation sources seem to have been used.  Only drawback is the liner notes are in Spanish.  Great performances and a good introduction to classical music for a younger audience.  Highly recommended.

title: Girl Groups CD

text: This is a shortened CD from a movie sound-track of the same name. It's in Mono sound, but a good set of speakers carries it ok.  The music is what you would expect, the top hits of the groups shown.  It was worth the cost as this is a hard to find release. Made in limited quantities, most have been sold or are hard to find.

text: Great love it


title: Truly exceptional album!

text: It is astonishing to me that this album would get anything less than a 5 star review. As a jazz lover of 40 years plus, with a grandfather and son in jazz, perhaps people don't get that jazz is an art form that grows and morphs just like any other live form of music over the years. Claudia's voice is beautiful and strong, with great range. She is an amazing musician and expresses text with deep emotion while maintaining control over her instrument--not like so many today who bleed and gasp the lyrics as if that is honest expression through music. The instrumentalists and arrangements are truly first rate. Brazilian jazz marries contemporary harmonies.


title: i love this album

text: love this album and love loretta lynn if you are a true loretta lynn fan like i am or a fan of country music of any kind old or new then by this album it hard to tell you which song i love when i love every song that is on this cassette tape this will make a wonderful gift for person that you love


title: Fantastic!

These cats were moments away from going all the way. Moments.

Great tunes, great band, great people.


title: This band was one of the best live shows to catch in the ‘op’s

text: I counted myself extremely lucky to have caught these guys at their peak in the mid-late 90’s when I lived in Cincinnati.  Not only were they great musicians, but they were awesome people. A band I played in back then didn’t have close to the crowd they would regularly draw.  But, despite that, they were very generous in sharing several nights with us in and between Lexington and Cincinnati.  Those guitar riffs were as powerful as any others written during that time.  I wish I knew what they were up to these days…


title: She speaks, although sometimes softly

text: Haven't listened to both discs all the way through yet, but so far so good. Quality on some of the tracks is dicy (not too surprising)--I wouldn't try to listen to these in the car, and they probably work best with headphones or cranked way up. Very speedy service.

text: Was very pleased with everything.


title: Exactly as advertised

text: Full marks for being a used but like-new CD.<br />Was addition to my DC collection.


title: Worth it!

text: Really fun!!! My son loved it and was excited to learn.


title: Love it

text: My album came in timely manner. Everything that was promised was in it. Thank you!!


title: Radically Saved by Carman Live

text: I purchased this CD for a dear friend of mine.


title: israeli rock

text: this was popular when it came out in the early 1990s. its general hard rock with all hebrew lyrics. a good album with catchy songs that paved the way for their more experimental later albums.


title: jewish heavy metal

text: grinding metal guitar riffs. wobbly, off-kilter singing. awkward and confessional english lyrics with a smattering of hebrew all on the topic of becoming religious and getting in touch with one's jewish roots. and two tracks of dreamy new age music. it's and awkward kind of album, but it's metal enough to be metal and it's not written to be a novelty album and it comes from eth heart.


title: A classic exploration in stereo

text: In my view, this album defines the sound of space age music.  Back when stereo recording first emerged, the new format presented recording artists with all sorts of possibilities.  Esquivel uses his orchestra of strings, wind and brass, choir, and eclectic percussion to fully indulge himself and listeners with an exploration of these myriad possibilities.  On top of that, this recording truly lives up to the concept of "living" stereo.  The sounds are so close that they feel like they're right in front of you.  This is ear candy at its finest, and it's a shame that more people haven't heard it.  If you consider yourself even the most amateur of audiophiles, check this one out.  You won't regret it.


title: Beautiful album, but mine was damaged.

text: The album itself is beautiful and everything was included but my album cover was broken at the top.


title: FANTASTIC!!!

text: This is probably by far the BEST organ CD from the Crystal Cathedral.  Peter took the listener on a "tour" of the organ using the many stops and different divisions.  This was also the ONLY CD in which all tracks were recorded in ONE take.  No editing was neccessary.  This CD is to die for.  The lowest pedal notes are captured perfectly on this CD as are the strings in the Gallery Organ etc.  If only there were more out there like this.  Recently Peter passed away, and this CD is a testiment to his talents and the organ itself. Go get it!!


title: Chopped and Truised

text: Its not amazons fault but the record was carved or recorded wrong because it came out slow (screwed almost).  My record player only has two speeds so I can not adjust it to make it regular.  I guess I will make lemonade and say it is a limited edition.  Chopped and Truised

title: Lorna Shore just set a new standard in Metal

text:
I had to come here and write a review, the album is that amazing! 10/10 throughout the entire album.

I've been listening to Metal since I was 12. Deftones, In Flames, Soilwork, then eventually Graveworm, Dark Tranquility, Angelmaker and so on. So I'm used to it, it's my favorite genre of music.

This is the first physical album I've bought in a decade, mainly because I was so impressed by their EP, that I decided to blindly buy Pain Remains without listening to any of their new music, with the exception of Sun//Eater and Into the Earth.

For my very first listen, I played the entire album in my car as loud as I can, and I was not prepared for what I experienced! I was in absolute shock, awe, mesmerized and blown away! I literally laughed out loud, practically screaming at one point, because I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Will Ramos brings a new dynamic to the genre. His highs are really high, and his lows are very low, and the timing and creativity he does is impeccable. The drummer is from another world, and every player in this band are exceptionally talented!

If you love Metal, any subgenre Metal, then this is a must buy for all fans of the genre.

Lorna Shore's Pain Remains has set a new standard in the Metal scene, and now, I can't have it any other way!


title: great disc!

text:
...of course it's my album, so i might be a little bit partial.

still, it's a hell of a thing, and you aughtta check it out.


title: Truly Choice Cuts

text: I've listened to Bob's choices here at least a hundred times now and look forward to the next hundred. Every track is magic - Thank you.


title: One of the reasons I still love freestyle....

text: ....not just for the ol skool music I grew up on, but these newer cats in the game are still doing the genre proud. Angel Mena here is a prime example. Another Artistik Records winner!

title: Awesome freestyle artist

text: This is a great album, freestyle fans should get this and show their support. Great production and Poze's superb vocals really bring out why you still love freestyle. I've also met Poze, he's one of the nicest cats in the game. Recommended!


title: Great Bach Cantata recording

text: Wonderful performance by Ameling and the instrumentalists.


title: Birds and Beasts

text: I bought this cd from Mr Quijas himself many years ago. I played it over and over and over....if I was in a different room than the speakers, i heard different aspects of the music! I can't find my copy now. I put it on my old iPod and when I got a new one lost it... :( I guess I'm buying another copy! Calif Academy of Sciences had it playing at an exhibit at the time it was released. Awesome music! Sad there was no more from Teocalli...


title: Original Nilsen still great

text:
I have enjoyed Nilsen's music for many years. My cassette tape was showing wear, and I couldn't find a replacement , as a CD, until I searched Amazon...and you delivered! I am very grateful for your service, and huge array of products.
Thanks again
Rhoda


title: Missing Audio Disc

text: I was so happy to finally get this album since I'm such a huge fan of Taylor Swift, but once my package came in, it was missing the audio cd. There was nothing in the description that listed that the audio disc was not included, just that the cover art and/or case may be worn out. I was still pretty happy with the bonus dvd, but also equally disappointed when I couldn't listen to the songs from the album. The one other good thing is that I at least got a pretty good Taylor poster in the small booklet


title: Woman Jazz Singer

text: Beautiful music.


title: Great product

text: This was a gift for a friend. She loved it!


title: Five Stars

text: Has all the good ones


title: Excellent Sound Quality, but there is a Mastering Error

text: The sound quality of this collection, especially on the SACD layer, is excellent.  Unfortunately, during 'All the Way from Memphis' (disc 2, track 5), there is distortion/crackling in the right channel from approximately 0:04 to 0:12. (Just make sure to listen with headphones). This distortion/crackling is not present on the original U.S. CD release or the remaster from c. 2006. This mastering error is on the SACD layer and the regular CD layer of the Vocalion/Dutton release.  Perhaps this problem was on whatever master tape (or digital copy) Vocalion/Dutton received from the record company that owns the original masters. In any case, I cannot emphasize enough to mastering engineers, record labels, and Amazon reviewers: make sure you listen with headphones before putting out any release or review.

title: Best Overall Davis Biography

text: Of the several books I have read on Jefferson Davis this is the best. The book captures Davis at his best -- and worst -- and it is clear that his worst cost the South dearly. Could a better Confederate president have produced a different outcome in the great Americn Civil War? Doubtful. But Davis had little of the right stuff to be a leader of a great cause and when compared with his advisary, Lincoln, he was puny indeed.

title: Fully entertaining in acting, visual and sound and will remain high on my viewing list.

text: Beautiful soundtrack. This enjoyable series easily invites repeat viewing. The scenery and set designs are superb and the costumes are richly extraordinary. The story and the ability of the actors touch on all emotions; laughter, embarrassment, fear, sadness, and love.


This is absolutely my favorite Dave's Pick. Something about how the boys play, the mix and Bill Graham's awesome introduction. They rock and roll, get mellow and jazzy. A couple of cowboy songs. The US Blues, Mexicali Blues, China>Rider, Playing in the Band, Cumberland Blues Weather Report Suite>Row Jimmy, Dark Star and It's all over now Baby Blue are all top notch. There really is not a bad song in the bunch. I have all the Dick's Picks and Dave's Picks, Boxilla, and a ton of other releases. Plus even more shows downloaded from way back when you could legally download them, but I find myself coming back to listen to this perfection over and over again. My top 5 Dead shows in no particular order:<br />12/06/73, 02/24/74(DaP13), 06/26/74(DP12), 05/22/77(DP3) & 03/14/81. Get this if you haven't it is fantastic.


title: lifehouse project pete townshend

text: This 6 CD box set is the end result of Pete Townshend's grandiose plan for a concept album during the time period between the completion of Tommy (1969) and the release of Who's Next (1971), which at the urging of Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, the lion's share of the material was shelved. The best tracks were selected for a single LP which ended up as Who's Next, arguably the Who's best studio single effort in the LP world. I purchased this box set at the time of release (2000) on Pete Townshend's Website for approximately 120 dollars (US) including shipping. Although the set may be now out of print, I believe it's value to be the same as original - about $120 dollars. If you chose to pay more, I believe it to be a misguided waste of hard earned money. I currently own a very extensive Who and Pete Townshend collection - 68 LP's (The Who), 14 LP's (Pete Townshend), 121 CD's (The Who), 27 CD's (Pete Townshend). I am an older guy and have been collecting since 1964, and believe I have a good read of the pulse of current music dollar values. Although I have no plans to sell my Townshend Lifehouse Chronicles Box, I am fully aware that being in pristine condition, it is not worth more than the 120 us dollar price. The collection in itself is sequenced in the same manner as the Scoop series but individually categorized as individual discs. The packaging, accompanying LP size grey colored box, book, and unique use of art, different colored discs, and packaging make this a high quality and nice set to have. Unfortunately, for the price of the current seller (450 dollars), I would only pay this amount if I was getting 5 complete sets, all brand new, and uncirculated. I have written many reviews of music going back to 1973, at which time I began submitting for publication. This is my area of expertise, among others. Whenever I see sellers whom I believe take advantage of naive buyers, I take this as a personal attack on my world of current music knowledge, upon blatant disregard for fellow collectors, I feel compelled to tender my opinion, which as a consumer, collector, and reader of reviews, you should view this as such, an opinion of one of the most knowledgeable collectors in the free world. Have a nice day :)

title: Bizarre Lounge Music . . . But Good!

text: As freaky as this CD is -- and you'll know what I mean when you look in the booklet and see all the pictures of scantily clad men -- I found the music to be terrific.  I have only recently become interested in what I would call "Lounge Music" and while some of these recordings -- okay, most of them -- are a little rough around the edges in terms of recording quality, they deliver some uniquely exotic tunes.  The disc is split into about half instrumentals and half vocals, which is nice, and they fit right into the genre in their own unique way.  This is not smooth, easy listening stuff, but can be nerve-jangling at times, but in a good way.


title: This is a very, very, very good album.

text: This is Jeudy's first album and one of his best. I like this artist as a singer and composer. His bachata's and merengue's make this an enjoyable album. When this album came out in the Dominican Rebuplic radio stations around the island would almost play the whole album.<br />That's how much of a hit he was with just this first album titled "Por La Raya"  ... i would recommend this one 100%.

title: MISS LITTLE HAVANA-PARTY!!

text:
One of the first things that struck me about "Miss Little Havana" was the overwhelming sense of Gloria Estefan having tons of fun. In complete contrast to "Unwrapped", her last, predominantly ballad driven, English language album, which played like an introspective memoirs of her life, "Miss Little Havana" exerts Gloria's ability to show off her fun, extroverted side.
The playfully, flirtatious lyrics seamlessly merge with uplifting, catchy melodies that seem to revisit her days with Miami Sound Machine. Add this to Producer, Pharrell Williams', contemporary urban awareness and a very unique sound has evolved that's distinctive but still familiar enough to please any dance music/pop purist. This is a dance album top to bottom and the one ballad, track 9 "Time is Ticking" acts like a bridging "palate cleanser" between the first 8 pop/dance tracks and the last 6 tracks which are more club oriented. Like her last dance album "gloria!" from 1998, the tracks tend to segue from one to the next, like a sort of DJ mix but it's a little bit different this time around featuring phone messages between Gloria and Pharrell. Beyond all the music is a unique little concept. Each track ascertains the "story" of the title character "Miss Little Havana" which narrates a cautionary, albeit fun tale of love beating adversity.  Here is a track-by-track review...

Miss Little Havana. Opening with a rhythmic chant sung over a layer of trumpets, trombones, cow-bells and hand claps the song then explodes into its catchy chorus built around an electronic funk beat which combines 80's synthesizer riffs and drum machines amid a complex horn arrangement that recalls Gloria's hey-day with Miami Sound Machine. It's the perfect introduction that links the old school to the new.

I Can't Believe. Latin rhythms dance across a bed of smooth percussion and within seconds this song feels like a fresh summer breeze as Gloria channels the "presence" of Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" era blending it perfectly with a wonderfully melodic hook enhanced by her signature honey-soaked vocals, party whistles and that infectious Miami sound.

HEAT. Pulsating rhythms, handclaps and a pumping layer of percussion synthesize with a mellow accordion loop to propel this track into tribal drum territory. Once again Gloria returns to that sultry Miami sound with a melody that falls somewhere between "Rhythm is gonna get you" and "Oye Mi Canto" with a breakdown comparable to the classic "Conga".

WEPA. Speaking of "Conga" .. the lead single from the album "WEPA" (Spanish slang for Yeehaw) certainly reminds me of Gloria's signature song and is the party anthem of this album and yet it's also the black sheep. It's the perfect combo of Gloria's "Miami Sound Machine" days and Pharrell Williams urban sensibilities but it sounds nothing like the rest of the album and still manages to fit in perfectly with it. It proves how versatile and chameleon powered this track really is!

Say Ay. With an arrangement that makes it sound like the unofficial sister to "Morenita" from Gloria's "90 Millas" album this tracks' frisky lyrics are blatantly erotic but Gloria manages to take them back to a sensual place with her teasing, silky smooth vocals. If you don't want to take your clothes off by the end of this song, you must be dead from the waist down.

So Good. The best way I can describe the basic beat of this is the Lambada. It's very Caribbean, very Brazilian, very sexy with a fluid, graceful melody that drifts across a beautiful, mellow, Cumbia arrangement that quickly swells into a crescendo of sultry, decadent rhythms, reggae guitars, percussion, trumpets and trombones but very modern with Pharrell's magical arrangement.

Right Away. Gloria returns to her disco roots with an arrangement that is guaranteed to get you moving on the dance-floor. This track has the "feel-good" factor that evokes Donna Summer and The Bee Gees in so many ways... but just when you think it's becoming a little too sweet the song swings into a darker, sexual tango where Gloria sings an old Cuban Conga with Spanish lyrics that tease responsive vocals from Pharrell.

Make Me Say Yes. Gloria goes straight for the jugular and takes us, full force, into "Studio 54" territory with this contempo-retro-ary, hi-energy, electronic disco track as she sings about the tempting pleasures of infidelity. With a super cool arrangement and incredibly catchy hook this one will sound amazing in the clubs!

Time is Ticking. While I thought a ballad might feel out of place on this album it actually feels very welcome here with its pleasant percussive arrangement, sweet melody and uplifting, emotional message. In many ways it feels like the perfect link between this album and "Unwrapped" with its retro ambience but also, to me, it conjures up images of the fall and a changing of the seasons. Simply put. Beautiful. It actually brought tears to my eyes.

Hotel Nacional. After the "palate cleansing" Time is Ticking, Miss Little Havana "Steps Out" and the album becomes a tour-de-force club thumper. This track sets the tone with its powerful, Latin-tinged, ultra-modern arrangement, absurdly catchy melody, bouncy lyrics and club friendly hook. It's part "We no speak Americano" by way of "Vogue". Undoubtedly, this needs to be a single.

On. You could easily say this is the "Oye" of "Miss Little Havana" with its smouldering, suggestive lyrics, pounding percussive club beats, a sprinkle of Haitian Creole and a hook that will have you singing along in no time. In the midst of it all Emily hammers out a shreddingly powerful guitar solo that fits perfectly with the ambience of the track as it builds into a crescendo that will pump up the dance floor.

Make My Heart Go. In many ways this club thumper draws on elements of the Middle East with its use of Arabic instrumentation and the "Na, na, na, na, na...." That's sung with the hook. Then as if it can't get any better, to polish it off there's an incredibly catchy rap from El Cata.

Medicine. Easily one of my favourites, this "Cosmic/Dance" track slowly builds its haunting melody into an incredible, full-blown, anthemic chorus that will have the dance floors heaving at the seams. An avant-garde arrangement with vocal effects and powerful drumbeats this is sure to be a future single.

WEPA (ft Pitbull) Gloria takes WEPA to the cutting edge corners of the club with this avant-garde version featuring Mr. Flavour of the month, Pitbull. It's so far removed from the original that this track is more than just another remix and fits perfectly with the dance music that has come before it.

Lets Get Loud. It's finally here and boy was it worth the wait! Taking what was done before, stripping it back then updating it to suit the sound of this album Gloria has brought us HER "lets gets loud" and made it sound even more Latin with a pumping base-line and bouncy drum beats. It's an excellent way to finish off an already outstanding album.

Conga 25. The deluxe version of the album features this track as a download which is a super modern (25 years later) take on Gloria's signature tune. It doesn't just update Conga; it takes it into a territory where you just can't keep still. Rather than discard the old arrangement, Gloria, with the help of super club DJ Pablo Flores, takes the old and injects it with a sort of musical botox, taking it back to the melodic energies of the 80's but renovating it with the cracking sounds of today's dance clubs which over-all massively improves it.

To conclude, I feel this ranks among the best of Gloria's 25 albums. It never ignores what has come before but rather unites it all into one amazing avant-garde take on a musical career that spans over 3 decades.


title: the deconstruction continues

text:
As of this writing, this album is unavailable on Amazon at any price. That's because I bought the last one! I've been pursuing this record for 15 years, at least. I spent over 50 bucks on it, and I'd still say it was well worth the price.

If you liked the Flying Lizards' first two albums (I do), then you'll like this one. It's a bunch of covers of songs you've heard before, delivered in a style that's somewhere between homage and parody. Hits me right in the feels.


title: Gang Starr Stays Solid

text: It is sad that we are in a society that promotes mindless [stuff] like 50 cent, nelly, and ja rule. I dont even listen to the radio, or watch mtv anymore because all they do is play the same songs over and over, im sick of that nonsense.  I wish more people would understand just how great Gang Starr is.  The street-smart, monotone flows of the Guru, and the perfect production by Premier goes overlooked by more commercialized, mainstream releases.  After listening to this cd for the first time, my fear of Gang Starr selling out disappeared.  Not their best cd, but it is great in it's own way, and outstanding compared to everything else out there today.  Im very happy to say that Gang Starr is still my favorite rap group, and that they have not sold out like jay z, snoop dogg, and anyone who gets their beats from the Neptunes.  10/10 -IF YOU ARE A HIP HOP FAN, BUY THIS ALBUM, AND EVERY OTHER GANG STARR RELEASE.


title: a good deal?  more like a legal steal!

text: excellent condition


title: Perfect audiophile cd.

text: This cd is really well mastered. I bought it as a test cd to show off my stereo system. (Yes, I'm one of those weird audiophiles) The detail and soundstage captured are excellent. The music itself is also wonderful. It is a very relaxing, atmospheric sound. Great to play in the background while reading or working. A very high quality production all around.


title: Cases hinges broken

text: Good album but the cases hinges were broken when it arrived.


title: Vinyl

text:
It's a great record. Most all of Bing's records are great. But someone should tell the administrators at Amazon: Except in rare cases, 78 RPM RECORDS ARE NOT MADE OF VINYL!!
 - Vinyl is plastic that was introduced when the microgroove era began - (45s & 33s)
 - Glad to get that off my chest. It annoys me.


title: Good Album

text: I randomly came across this album when a friend of mine let me listen to some tracks from it. I was quite please with what I heard. Great melodies and layers form an album worth listening to if you are into the style.


title: Incredible, instrumental psychedelic rock trio's sole LP in stereo and mono!!

text: Three of the most talented session musicians of the 1960s and 1970s, namely guitarist Ben Benay, bassist Jerry Scheff and drummer Toxey French, got together in 1969 to record this one off, instrumental psychedelic rock masterpiece.  I discovered this album a bit late, not acquiring a copy of it until I got a bootleg (unbeknownst to me) copy of the album, which I now know is the stereo version of the LP.  But thanks to Wolf and World In Sound you can own not only the stereo version of the LP but the very different mono LP version is added as bonus material, meaning you get 79 1/2 minutes of the meanest instrumental psychedelic rock created by true masters of their craft.  Jerry Scheff will be familiar to many as the bass player in Elvis' TCB (Taking Care of Business) Band as well as the man who played bass on albums by The Doors when Ray Manzarek's organ pedals were not considered sufficient.  Ben Benay was one of those guitar players that always got the job done.  And always better than anyone expected.  ""Goldenrod" is not a "lost treasure" as HERE IT IS!  World In Sound brings the recordings to life, the mastering up to their incredibly high standards.  The incredible thing here is that you get over 43 minutes of bonus material (the mono mix of the LP)!  The two versions of the album are quite distinct.  So indeed it is as though you get two albums for the price of one.  I really wish more bands and labels would release the stereo and mono mixes together more often.  World In Sound certainly hit a home run here and the label is sold out, so whatever you see here or on eBay is what you get, so make sure you get your copy now.  As for the music:  Ben Benay was an absolute monster on guitar, being quite capable of playing any genre and he could play with the best of them, yet was never a showboat.  Jerry Scheff, as mentioned, showed his prowess and versatility when you consider he laid down tracks behind and toured with "The King" himself.  Toxey French  and Jerry Scheff formed an absolutely locked in rhythm section, while Benay explored the universe with his guitar work.  If you don't pick this one up you are seriously gonna regret it.  So order it now!!!

title: Peanuts and Corn Records Classic.....Gruf's Debut

text:
Druidry affected me in a way that I was not expecting.  The rhymes are so moving and feature what is perhaps Mcenroe's best production to date for any solo artist on P&C Records.  Gruf is an emcee from Winnipeg, who is very much in tune with his spirituality and quite contemplative on the fifteen tracks that comprise Druidry.

The opening song, "Age Of Ice"s subject matter concerns itself with the earth's origins, and takes at least part of its cue from the geologist Nicolaus Steno.  The theory of evolution is contrasted with the lesser cited theory of spontaneous generation (how many hip-hop albums deal with such topics as this?).

More than a handful of Druidry's tracks are about the overwhelming effect of nature and the kind of spiritual epiphany one experiences when surrounded by such environments (i.e. "The Owl", "Awakening" "Amongst The Trees" and "Trusting Your Senses").

Other reflections Gruf makes include the virtues of meaningful friendships, pseudo-prisons humans create in the mind, conservation, plants and even the question of whether or not God has wired our minds for something higher than mere survival.

Gruf's sophomore was recently distributed by P&C this year, and though the material is by no means sub-par, Hopeless is certainly in a different vein than Druidry.  I wish that people were more familiar with this release, for it was probably one of the best of 2001, and along with so many other great Canadian hip-hop artists and albums, pitifully unacknowledged.


title: Northwest Classic

text: This is a northwest classic I put this up there with Young Soprano top of the coast,Mr d.o.g. Ghetto politics,Self tightled Hustlin in hell and Gangsta nutt Save me.This was produced from high side records so the beats are different from there other albums it has that Sacramento sound to it.They really put it down for the 509 and by far there best album.If you like Northwest underground then you should check this out it is worth the investment because alot of these northwest classics are hard to find now.

WELL, IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING, THIS ALBUM DOES ALL OF THAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FIRST 3 THINGS I LISTED. BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THIS IS A TERRIFIC ALBUM. IT'S KIND OF ....., WITH HINTS OF MELLOW TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION. YOU LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AND YOU END UP FEELING EITHER LIKE YOU'RE HAPPY IN A SORT OF CHIC WAY, OR YOU FEEL LIKE YOU REALLY WANT TO.....YOURSELF. TO ALOT OF PEOPLE, THIS MAY NOT BE A GOOD THING AT ALL, BUT WHEN YOU FEEL TERRIBLE AND HATE YOURSELF THIS AN TERRIFICALLY COMPLIMENTARY ALBUM. PERSONALLY, I LOVE IT.

Over summer I listened to this and the new bambir CD every single day. Switching it off every two days.

It's so good. Only thing thats not that great is theres a 80's electronic aspect but it's very sparse. It's really quality Armenian Rock music.


title: BEST Hardcore / Troycore band to never play a show in Troy or Albany!

text: I just picked up the Out Ta Bomb copy of this album/CD for $378.99 on ebay (I know). The Common Ground release will get you the songs, but the Out Ta Bomb version is better to hold in your hands, with liner notes that are printed on what feels like quality parchment. The band was a bunch of American thugs living in Japan. This is one of those fragments of hardcore history that is fading fast into obscurity. If you find a copy of the Japanese release, keep it safe.

text: the one song starts with the sound of a heart beat and it had mine pounding...he is awesome in everything he does!


title: Houses float in Manitoba...

text: I will admit it took me a long time to get into The Loon. I had the album for over a year before any song but "Omaha" really began to make an impression on me. Now though the album as a whole has become an inextractable part of my daily routine. Usually I am wary of a Pitchfork-endorsed hype band, or esp. a Myspace-fueled blog band, but Minneapolis has consistently turned out amazing indie rock since the days of The Replacement and Husker Du, so I picked the album up. And after it wormed its way into my life, I am in love. Josh Grier's voice is quavery and definitely unique, and the band's broad swipe of genres creates an interesting context. Much has been made of the influence of bands like Modest Mouse, Wire, Pavement and the Pixies on Tapes 'n Tapes, and all are definitely apparent here, but the band does have a sound all their own. From the harrowing, lush waltz-pop of "Manitoba" (a chilling chronicle of the 1997 Red River Flood)to the sweet Caribou-like IDM-tinged keyboard of "Omaha", this is an album that is strikingly consistent for a new and disarmingly young band (Tapes 'n Tapes's drummer is just 20). Grier's lyrics are abstract and haunting, and certain jarring phrases will stick in your mind like poetic passages for days after hearing. "Cowbell" and "Insistor"'s frenzied acoustic pace would feel right at home on the Pixies' Surfer Rosa, while "Jakov's Suite" recalls Pavement's early 90s heyday and the crazed energy of Wire's early recordings. "10 Gallon Ascots" is also a highlight, the strongest case here for the Modest Mouse comparisons, and one in a series of songs on The Loon that is washed in a surreal abstract haze of feedback, experimental white noise and fuzzy distortion. All in all, a solid album from these Minnesotans that is well deserving of every accolade it garners. 4 and a half stars.

title: whats wrong with you people

text: I have to agree with robert somethin-something (another reviewer) on this one. People dont like it because its not what they expected. I expected it to be a slasheer movie (considering the commercials) but its not. Its not very scary either. but its STILL a really good movie. Most people need blood and gore to make a movie good (thats why everyone liked the alien movies). And also everyone compares it to Scream. I will tell you the truth. Scream is the worst movie i have ever seen. This is not anything like Scream. Go to it not expecting a slasher movie, you'll probably like it better. The other thing i liked about this movie was that it kept you guessing. There were plot twists around every corner. The ending was a bit weak but I loved it anyways. Oh, and the first 5 minutes of the movie features a lady being chased in the woods and eventually gets shot.


title: Fast shipping

title: Vinyl Big Bands collection FTW!

text: I have collected Big Bands music for quite some time now, and to have Duke Ellington (one of the greats) is AWESOME! Thank you so much for this great box set.


title: Does anyone know about this CD?

text: I first herd Virtuoso on the Jedi Mind Tricks album "Violent by Design", I thought he had some nice lyrics on the songs he was in  so I decided to pick up one of his albums.  I'm being honest when I say I really did like this CD the first time I listened to it.  I am only giving it four stars because no one knows about this CD.  He talks about a lot of cool things.  He flows real good with other MCs on his album all coming from Boston.  I'm glad I bought this CD, it's worth the money, Really!

title: the only game in town ...

text: worthwhile listening for the wagner devotee for whom too much is never enough, or fringers [like myself] who are simply morbidly curious ... took many months for a copy to become available on amazon, so perhaps it might be worth it ... lots of fun correlating the librettos of way shorter performances ...


title: whats important to know, indeed ...

text: this is a melodiya recording from 1980 ... it's never before been released on CD and one might question if it has yet to be released on CD - these are certainly CDs, but contain a direct transfer from a pretty mediocre copy of either the melodiya or chant du monde LP releases from the early 80s ... one can't miss if it's the only game in town, and there's certainly nothing wrong with the performance ... there are other recordings, by orlov [1948] and rostropovich [2003] out there [and i suspect but haven't yet confirmed that the latter contains the additional aria for vyazminsky which tchaikovsky composed for the final revision of 1878, and which wouldn't be in any recording before its rediscovery and publication in the mid-80s] but it's quite marvelous that this performance was reissued at all, albeit in a less-than-perfect transfer ...


title: Totally Sweet

text: This is definately one of the better cds in my collection.  It's like totally sweet and super awesome beyond beleif.  If you can find it anywhere you should buy it or steal it because it's pretty hard to get these days.  In fact, you can't even get it here where you are reading this review right now because they are all out.  It's even hard to find MP3s of Mourning Noise these days.  So, basically if your friend has it borrow it off him/her and leave town never to be found again.

The first version is off of the WrestleMania Album, then there is a remix which sounds pretty cool.  Last is the instrumental version that Linda McMahon used as her entrance when she was on RAW.

I didn't bother replacing my entire collection, but every once in a while I'd check music stores or iTunes for this album, and come up empty-handed. I finally just bought the CD on Amazon and copied it onto my MP3 player. Should have done that years ago :)

text: I'm a 69 year-old grandmother who purchased the original 33-1/3 album of "Down On The Creekbank" for our daughter when she was 8. This time we purchased this CD for our grandchildren and listened to it before we mailed it to them.  It made us smile, laugh, sing along and dance a little too.  Our daughter said the same thing when she listened to it!  Brought back a lot of wonderful family memories....Dottie Rambo is indeed gifted!  The remastering made some songs sound a little different, but not enought to detract from the enjoyment.  Recommend it highly!

title: Excellent for Massage!

text: I'm a licensed massage therapist, and I absolutely adore using this CD during my sessions!  It's a great alternative to the new age-y music styles that are so pervasive in the relaxation music scene -- my clients find this CD soothing & relaxing, and not at all "weird".  This music suports a "relaxed but focused" atmosphere -- it serves as excellent white noise in the lobby area, and I even use it at home as a soothing backdrop for reading/ sewing/ paperwork/ etc.  Excellent arrangements & clarity -- DON'T MISS!


title: Adorable and Beautiful Musical Story

text:
I think we've all heard about how listening to classical music can help children's brain development, IQ, creative processes, etc. Anyways, I had been looking around for quite some time for something that would be fun and intellectually stimulating for kids without losing their attention. The music alone isn't quite enough, while most dedicated kids stuff seems to mass-produced garbage and passing fads. So I added something else to my list of wants -- something that puts the CLASSIC in classical.

The Brementown Musicians by Ina Allen checked all my boxes!

Originally a story from the 1800's by the Brothers Grimm, this version adds beautiful, classical piano pieces as interludes in the story. The theme of the story is truly inspiring - one that anyone can appreciate - though geared to the young'uns of course. I thought it a great idea that each character has their own "theme music". It makes for a bit of a memory game to quiz the kids (and yourself) when the character's music starts to play. Better yet, I can feel proud to help them experience some of those folk stories and music that has stood the test of time. It's a lot better than "a child's guide to hip hop" or whatever is on the shelves at the store.

In sum, an inspiring story paired with beautiful music. I'd love to see it animated one day, or even expanded into a whole series!

The product is in great condition, the vocals have been found :) haha (see original post below).

I love The Electrics' music and this is another great CD :)

Sorry for any confusion about the original post!

Original Post:  The vocals are very hard to hear over the instrumental part.  It may only be my copy of the CD, but it was quite disappointing to get my CD in the mail and not be able to hear the words to the music...if they exist?


title: Stands the test of time

text:
A little trivia for you...there are actually two versions of this album in existence. The first was a version of Sunny Day that John produced himself and would sell at concerts when he was first getting his start. I remember seeing him when he opened up for a bigger band like Petra or Newsboys. I still have a copy of that version. It has a few different songs than this version which he later made with the label Questar/Mission Records, including the song Sunny Day in a different key.

I loved this album when it first came out in 1996 and I still love it today.

title: Elvis, great as always...

text: I love the old classics and rarely like new versions of them, so when a friend told me to check out Elvis: The New Sessions, I was skeptical. No need! These new sessions sparkle! Elvis is great as always and the new backings respect and support his voice- never overwhelming or covering it. Many of my favorites are here - Return to Sender which may be my favorite of all of these with its fun and upbeat sound, Silent Night - with a children's choir - they sound like little angels! Are You Lonesome Tonight sounds fresh and yet familiar. Each song has been given a very special, individualized treatment. It is clear that those in charge of this project love this music as much as we, the fans do. The quality shows throughout this CD. I highly recommend it to any Elvis fan, or anyone who loves the old songs.

In Lose Fat Not Faith, Jeremy Likness provides what I think is the missing link... most people know the basics of exercise and healthy eating but what they don't know is how to make it happen. One thing that millions and millions of people struggle with is the ability to make decisions and take action... what really matters is action and so many people don't believe in themselves and Lose Fat Not Faith changes all of that!

text:
In the MGM All Star Spectacular they played an arrangement of mine and performed by myself and fellow Ramblers Three partners from our Album 'MAKE WAY FOR THE RAMBLERS THREE on MGM records 1962.
I Must say that most reviews of our group said we had very fine harmony as well as a good folk sound in the styles like those of the Kingston Trio and others.
We were very happy in our days at Emerson College in Boston and toured the USA on weekends with the schools blessing and performed at Baylor University, The University of Indiana and University of Connecticut amongst others as well as many Television appearances. If you enjoy old style folk music you should enjoy 'The Ramblers Three.

title: Spiritual Follow Up

text:
Soul Miner's Daugher delivered once again with this sequel to their debut album "Sacred and Profane" (An album that while superior to "Hallelujah", is extremely hard to come by.)  I found it a rich and earthy mix of Janice Joplin-esque vocals and etherial sex and spirituality.  Music that grabs you by the soul and throat and makes you listen! Well worth the purchase!

Jennifer Nettles went on from Soul Miner's Daughter  to do some extremely personal and amazing grrlpower music with The Jennifer Nettles Band (Soul Miner's Daughter Band, minus fellow lead singer Corey Jones).  She is of course now a breakout voice with the new country band called "Sugarland".

I felt her earlier work was far superior to Sugerland.  Her powerful and distinctive voice has been diminished and polished in Sugerland to the point where she sounds like every other singer on the charts.  What a dissapointment.

If you want to hear Jennifer as she is meant to be heard, do check out Soul Miner's Daughter and The Jennifer Nettles Band.


title: Best of the Best

text: I have always enjoyed Jeff & Sheri Easter's music. I anticipate every new song they come out with and they haven't let me down this time. "Born to Climb" is an inspirational piece that talks to the everyday person...building them up, lifting them to heights thought impossible. And the addition of Morgan to their vocals is a wonderful treat. You will enjoy this CD as well.

title: Enter the Killing Room Soundtrack...

text:
The soundtrack to this movie is really well done!  Brian Tyler, whom also has done the likes of Rambo, Darkness Falls, and many others just to name of a few!  It's really a simple sound...nothing extravagent at all.  But it leaves us in that, "what's gonna happen next mode."  I feel it was very dramatic at times, just as certain parts of the movie were.  A very crisp, clean, clear, sterile sound, for the sterile "Killing Room" that the movie was filmed in!  I remember at the end of the movie, it mentioned that the Prague Harmonic Orchestra did the score!  I believe that's what they call themselves.  Anyways..a job well done!  I'm no professional writter, but for some reason, I had a hard time explaining this review!  As a customer to the buying this soundtrack, I've waited many months to finally get my hands on this!!!!  I'm so excited to finally hear it and I simply can't wait! But as someone who actually worked on "The Killing Room" myself, (Stephen Waters/stunt double/stand-in/photo double for Timothy Hutton), I really enjoyed the entire experience and I simply can't wait to hear this!  It will bring back so many memories about the "Killing Room!"  I spent many hours and days in that room!  One of the most amazing experiences of my entire life! ...and if you by chance stumble upon this soundtrack by accident and haven't even seen the movie yet, please go rent it, buy it, or find it somewhere!  You will not be dissapointed!  Just enter in with an open mind, otherwise, you might not exit!

title: Best Red Velvet Album

text:
I love Red Velvet's Velvet side. This album is a nearly perfect showcase of that side of them that builds off of the previous album Perfect Velvet.

The main track Bad Boy is wonderfully done R&B song with a nice relaxed beat that supports the vocal performance to set the rhythm for the song. I can't help but want to move because the construction of the lyrics has this flow to it where it's like your cruising down the a river that smoothly transitions between a nice gentle flow into these sharp, deep drops and rises.

All Right as a track was a bit too much of the standard bright kpop fair. It stood out to me as not really belonging on this style of album and is part of the reason I say it's nearly perfect.

Time to Love is the final addition over the Perfect Velvet album. It's a nice, slow R&B ballad. The vocal performances are satisfying. Ballads aren't really my favorite but I enjoyed this one.

The rest of the tracks are from Perfect Velvet. I don't want to review them all but "I Just" and "Kingdom Come" are two of my favorite Hip-hop/R&B songs of all time. I love the quick, stilted intro lyrics of I Just and the vocal performances in Kingdom Come really exhibit why Red Velvet is my favorite Kpop group. Seulgi, Wendy, and Irene all give a fantastic performance in this song. Also, "Peek-a-boo" is just a fun song to listen to.


title: Five Stars

text: It is the best cd I have. Great voice, good songs, and great listening.


title: Solid debut that smartly brings together different indie influences

text:
Some strong songwriting for a debut record. The band mixes together eclectic influences -- there's Johnny Marr-style guitar, some shoegaze reverb, some Pixies rock, bouncing and melodic bass lines, and creative Throwing Muses-esque drums. Lyrically, the band clearly goes for the Tanya Donelly/Michael Stipe style of indirect songwriting, with lots of symbolism and metaphors sprinkled into most songs. I know two of these songs (Fever Pitch and The City) have made it on to early 2000s indie compilations, but my favorites on here are Know It All and Charmed Life.

The only detriment is some questionable production values. Is Copper Ocean still performing live anywhere?


title: Sound quality is 1/3 good, 1/3 okay, and 1/3 lousy. Save your money and don't buy it.

text: This set contains three CDs; the sound quality varies wildly among them. The second CD has good sound quality; nothing special, but good. The first CD has okay sound quality, although it sounds rather flat. The third CD, however, has abysmal sound quality; rather than "recorded live", it sounds as if someone recorded it with their cell phone during a concert and then made bootleg copies off that recording. Guevara's voice is often lost in the background; the piano is loud but the quality of the sound is bad; spoken words can barely be understood.  This is simply unacceptable in what is sold as a professionally produced CD. Save your money, and don't buy the set.


title: Collected works of the Tolkien Ensemble

text:
First note: as of this writing, Amazon also offers an import version of this collection, called simply "Lord of the Rings [BOX SET][IMPORT]". It is the same product, with two small differences: the import's booklet comes in both English and Danish, and (again, as of this writing) the import costs only slightly more than half as much as this version. Now on to the review (this is the same as my review of the import version).

Over ten years ago, the Tolkien Ensemble formed to put to music the poems that appear in The Lord of the Rings. These are not "songs inspired by" or "music inspired by." This is the text of the poems as they appear in the books, put to music. Receiving the blessings of the Tolkien Estate after performing some of their results in concerts, their first disc was "An Evening in Rivendell", which contained all the lighthearted hobbit songs, and a few others (such as Galadriel's song of Eldamar, and a couple of versions of the Hymn to Elbereth). A few years later, "A Night in Rivendell" tackled some of the darker poems: the lament for Boromir, the funeral hymn for Theoden, Frodo's rememberance of Gandalf, etc. Then came "At Dawn in Rivendell", which also enlisted the great Christopher Lee to make readings of some poems that are clearly meant to be spoken rather than sung, and songs like Legolas's "Song of Nimrodel". And finally came "Leaving Rivendell", with all remaining songs and poems.

This set contains all the material that was included in the previous four discs; the difference being that in this set the poems and songs appear in the same order as they occur in the books. The first two CDs contain the songs and poems that occur in "Fellowship of the Ring", the third contains the ones from "The Two Towers", and the fourth and final the ones from "Return of the King". Except for a few repetitions that occur in the book, all the poems and songs from the trilogy are in the CDs. Even so, some repetitions receive reworked treatment (there are three versions of the Elven Hymn to Elbereth, for example).

The style of music varies as much as the style varies in the book. From a great choral arrangement for the Burial Song for Theoden, to aethereal voices singing to Elbereth, through a more bardic style for the Song of Nimrodel; a great piano arrangement for the Lament for Boromir, lively renditions of "There is an inn..." and Sam's troll song, and stately readings of the Rhymes of Lore by Christopher Lee (who also provides the voice of Treebeard in some songs). No doubt the style of some songs may strike some listeners as odd or a false note (I for one imagined the Burial Song in a more traditional, single bard, style than a choral arrangement; and one might certainly debate how appropriate the sounds of a piano might be in the context of the fantasy tale); but by and large, it just sounds right.

The Tolkien Ensemble has done an outstanding job in translating the poems to actual songs, and in providing ambient music for the dramatic readings where appropriate. Next time you read the trilogy, you will find yourself singing the poems and not merely reading them.


title: Interesting, informative, and thorough

text:
I am not a lawyer. My interest in the Supreme Court is that of an  interested observer, who has particular interest in certain topics (such as  Establishment Clause, Religious Freedom, etc). Even so, or perhaps  especially so, I find Goldmans' product wonderful. It has everything that  was missing from Peter Irons' audio series "May it Please The  Court" (which wasn't much to begin with).
The Supreme Court hears  oral arguments on cases, and these arguments have been recorded since the  fifties. Goldman's CD contains the full audio arguments for a number of  cases, and, for a few of them, also the public announcement of the decision  on the case. Each case also includes a summary, which has a brief  description of the facts of the case, the final decision, and final vote  (which justices voted in the majority, which in the minority). That alone  would make this a wonderful addition to anybody interested in the Bill of  Rights or the Supreme Court. But this is not all that Goldman brings to the  party.
Also included are the full text of the decisions of the cases  included (Majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions), which were sorely  missed in Peter Irons' book. Also, for each case, a photograph of the  Court's justices is provided, with a halo effect identifying majority and  minority. By clicking on a particular justice, you can hear a voice clip,  to help you identify their voices when, during the arguments, they  interrupt or ask questions. There is also a "highlights" option,  whereby specific points in the argument are mentioned, with time index  stamps, so you can listen only to those points (the presentation of the  case, particular questions regarding certain issues and their replies,  summary, etc). You can also use this as a sort of abbreviated program when  listening to the entire arguments (which can run over 1 hour). As opposed  to Peter Irons' _May it Please The Court_, there is no commentary on the  arguments, which are presented completely unedited, and also no  transcripts. Finally, if there are any cases which were argued or decided  together with the one you are looking at, it is so noted and you can take a  look at that one as well.
You can look at the cases sorted by name or by  date, and also by broad topic ("Religious Freedom",  "Commerce", "Sexual Discrimination", etc), by Justices  sitting on the Court, or all together. The cases include some of the more  important and controversial of the past 50 years: Roe v. Wade (abortion),  Abington v. Schemp (school prayer), Nixon v. U.S. (executive power), New  York Times v. U.S. (pentagon papers), Johnson v. Texas (flag burning),  Bakke v. Regents (reverse discrimination), and many more among its more  than 50 cases.
I have no complaints about the final product, and only a  few wishes: I hope to see sequels, with more cases, available; although  pretty close to my wish list of cases, a couple I would love are still  missing (e.g. Edwards v. Aguillard). I would also have liked to be able to  look at cases by author of the opinion, but this is such a minor thing that  it is hardly worth mentioning. Transcripts of the arguments would be a nice  addition. These are such minor quibbles, however, that they cannot mute  your enjoyment of this wonderful program.

The product on sale must be an unofficial boot-leg.

Early in 2012, Ace/Kent Records will be releasing  the complete recordings of Eddie Holland. This will be an official release, comprising all known recordings for Mercury, United Artists and Motown. Not only that, there will be some previously unreleased tracks too.

To top it all off, the forthcoming CD, which is a two-disc set, will be accompanied by detailed liner notes including comments from a very recent interview with Eddie himself.

Don't buy this boot-leg, wait for a genuine and properly re-mastered release.


title: SOME OF THE BEST OF BOB AND RAY

text: MOSTLY EXCELLENT CONDITION OLD TAPE SET, BUT TAPE 3 HAD WEIRD FLAW OF HAVING TWO SHOWS DUBBED ON EACH SIDE AT THE SAME TIME. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, I THINK MANY VOL 4 TAPE SETS OF "THE BEST OF BOB AND RAY" HAD THIS FLAW ON CASSETTE 4. OTHERWISE, A GOOD PRICE ON IT AND QUICKLY DELIVERED.


title: Four Stars

text: Valiosa recuperación de grabaciones ya olvidadas en la maravillosa voz de Xiomara; vale la pena tener este CD


title: Excellent music by some of the best singers ever!

text: This is a great sequel to Classic Country: Great Story Songs.


title: Best Piano Rain CD Ever

text: My previous mother-in-law bought me this CD when I was pregnant with one of my children. We listened to it for years, until it was lost in a move. I cannot wait to hear it again, it will bring back so many memories.


title: A Beautiful Rendition of Themes from Puccini's Operas

text: I have owned this album for years and the music is simply beautiful.  If you're not familiar with Puccini's operas, listen to this arrangement of some of the most emotional music ever written and I'll bet you'll want to hear them in their original form i.e., sung). Absolutely gorgeous - buy it!


title: Great value for all 5 CDs
