title: Neopolitan songs ok but aria's leave much to be desired

text: Andrea Bocelli, as it has been said before has a lovely, if small voice. His "Romanzo" and "Sogno" were wonderful because he did not step outside his realm. He may, in time, be able to sing opera but not yet. Sometimes he is almost drowned out by the orchestra. If you want to hear "real" male opera singers try Pavarotti, Domingo, Bjoeling, DiStefano, Corelli, Carreras(his early works), Caruso, Gigli, Jan Pierce, Richard Tucker (who began life as a cantor), Alfredo Kraus (young). You might consider checking out sopranos, mezzos, baritones and basses. You won't find a better bass at this point in time than Sam Ramey.I know we're talking tenors but if you get a chance buy a CD by Maria Callas. You won't regret it. Dive into opera. You won't be sorry and see what other tenors have done. Bocelli has done a great service by introducing it to the general public but opera is more than Bocelli and more than Puccini. He did a nice job on the Neopolitan songs which are not easy to sing. Neopolitan is the Italian dialect of love. EVen if you can't understand it, you can feel it and he makes you feel. First rate job. I still would recommend it but if you like it explore other singers you won't be disappointed.

title: A MOST HAVE ALBUM

text: CHUCHO ALVAREZ started his singing career in Cuba back in the early fifties., mainly singing boleros. He achieved a couple of hits with this genre, but then he decided to recodr this  álbum filled with very popular South American song and,,,BANG! the álbum was a huge hit, not only in Cuba but in Central and South America as well . he arregements, using tipical south of de border instruments like marimbas and others gave the songs a beautiful sound, plus the voice of Chucho enhanced every tune. There were many hits from this álbum like  EL AMOR, MASCOTITA DE MARFIL, TU OLVIDO, QUISIERA AMARTE MENOS and the biggest one ALZAME EN TUS BRAZOS, one of the most beautiful songs ever written. If you're into this type of music, I recomend this álbum, and if you're not, you'll be glad you did.<br />Jose Coton


title: Five Stars

text: Great music!!! VERY RELAXING!!!


title: My opinion only

text: I loved the song 'believe' so I got this cd. He sings very well just needs better material. I would recommend this artist for any Christian music collection.


title: Very happy with this purchase.

text:
The reason I got this CD is because I saw a novela called "La fuerza del destino". I had never heard of Sandra Echeverria before but when I found out that she did a CD I bought it. It is great. I love all of the songs in it. I paid $22.92 with tax included back in 2011. I have had this CD for 6 years now and it still works great.

The CD came fast and it was completely sealed just like the ones you buy in store. This CD is not found in stores (at lease not in the stores that I have been). Would recommend to family and friends.

This CD has pictures too.


title: Keep it in the car

text: This is a great CD to just keep in the car and listen to while driving. It isn't the sound quality we expect these days, but it is Elvis and it is old gospel standard songs. I was pleasingly surprised to find this contained two CD's.


title: If she is happy, I'm happy.

text: My mother in Law is now head over heels for Freddy after watching the recent hit movie about him. So I found this here and she is now in heaven.


title: The Art of Music of this Era

text: A piece of art. Delivered with a touch of enticing quality and such a soothing sound. Love this music. Very relaxing in my such dramatic times of University life. Do business with this organization. Deliver quality.


title: Classy beep bop music

text: I love the upbeat, get up and go music. Music that brings out the character and thrill of a refreshment in spirit. Life is once in a lifetime and must be enjoyed and lived to the fullest.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent !


Very hard to find  very expensive  but grandson wanted it


title: Oldies but Goodies relived.

text: Good music, fun listening.


title: mostly demo quality tracks

text: this is about 50% of their first record but in original form. You can tell this is a budget recording using electronic instruments and looping to step in for real recording time and a band. Still, if you want to hear older versions of some songs and a few rare tracks this is cool.


title: Five Stars

text: very good


title: Finally available in CD!

text: I've looked for this album, in CD format, for years and finally found one. The cover photo is from the second Brethren album, however, not the first. The fist album cover was much more dramatic, evocative and somewhat moody. It didn't leave you feeling like you were about to hear California influenced, Hippie era, country and western such as New Riders of the Purple Sage. The lyrics and liner notes are not entirely accurate, perhaps because the re-release was produced by a Korean label. The band on the first album was a trio. Brethren didn't become a quartet until the second album despite what is stated in the liner notes. The music is southern rock with heavy gospel influences. My friends and I referred to it as "Swamp Rock". It was more in the gospel vein than the blues and R&B influenced rock of bands like Wet Willie or The Allman Brothers. Brethren sounds a bit like Creedence Clearwater Revival (their bass player was originally the bassist from Creedence). It's interesting to note that Brethren was a New York based band not a Southern band despite what one might guess. This music isn't for everybody (it might help if you are as old as I am) but, I'm sure happy to be able to hear it without the surface noise of a 40+ year old vinyl recording. Now if someone would just get around to re-releasing Calico volumes 1 & 2 in CD format................


title: a gift

text: I bought this for my Mom and she LOVES it.  Thank you for making my Mom HAPPY.  I will be buying more tapes from you in the future. Brenda


title: CD CASES

text: CD CASE 1 AND CD CASE 3 WAS CRACKED. I DON'T WANT TO RETURN THEM BUT I WOULD LIKE BOTH CASES WITH INSERTS IN REPLACED IF POSSIBLE. THE CD'S ARE GREAT


title: Funkadelic

text: Great Through-back from the 70's.


title: Love this band!

text: This is a great CD!  I had purchased 5 songs from the CD before I bought it.  Great music and lyrics!


title: music for a calm mind

text: Wonderful calm music with good words for meditation would recommend this music to bring us back to peace from a rushed world.

title: Titles, Artists And Even Remix Names

text:
This page furnishes the artists but no titles, and since this is a mix compilation it seems that supplying the mix names would be helpful since people want to know what mixes are on the CD and if they are in full form or not.  Some people DO prefer radio edits/mixes too.  For this compilation most mixes are in full form with some being short but not necessarily an edit - at least they are not identified as such.  There is only one mix that is identified as and edit.  It clocks in at 5:47.  There are two mixes that are under 4 minutes but are not identified as edits.  The track list follows.

1. Green Velvet -  Flash (Danny Tenaglia's Nitrous Oxide Mix Edit) 10:09
2  Arkarna -  Skin (Peter Rauhofer Remix) 7:29
3  Faze Action -  Samba (Tha S-Man's Darkstar Mix) 3:39
4  Sasha Alexander* -  If You Believe (Osio Dub Mix) 6:10

8  Samsara -  Tuning Out (Jeff Turzo Remix) 3:51
9  Muse -  Sunburn (Timo Maas Remix) 4:40
10  Andreas Johnson -  Glorious (Num Dub) 7:30


title: Don't Anyone Believe In Track Listings?

text:
Honestly how can you expect to sell something without a track listing?  What if someone is looking for a particular song by the artist but does not know which album it's from?  In that case they may look through the artist's albums that are on the site to see what the songs and great, no songs.  No sale!

I bought this edition at Walmart.  The additional tracks appear on the Deluxe.  This edition goes one step further by including the 'zine.  This can be bought at the aforementioned store for $14.88.


title: Annoying.

text: While I do realize Britney's taking to making racy and sexually suggestive songs as well as songs that are somewhat self-centered, that's fine.  I do enjoy a lot of here stuff but this one annoys me to no end.  I just don't like the way she uses the phrase "If you seek Amy" in such a way that the only it makes any sense is the way people have "decoded" it as using a very bad word in the same way "If you see Kay"  I just think the lyric "All the boys and girls are begging to IF YOU SEEK AMY".  Very grating on my nerves.  There are better songs on the Circus album.

Finally a great club mix available on CD.  Jellybean's House mix is mostly instrumental.  Toy Soldiers is not at all removed from it's original sound.  Martika's Kitchen is a Prince song and is really spicy.  I Feel The Earth Move is souped up very well.

title: Great early 1990's music but how would you know what it is?

text:
Unless you had a track listing that identified the titles and artists like in the case of this great compilation of early 90's house music.  I am so sick and tired of incomplete pages with no track listings.  I am sorry but there is no excuse for his and it is unacceptable.  I am sick and tired of internet buying being treated like the "Red-Headed Stepchild" of commerce.  When you go looking for a specific song how in the world are you to know if or not it is on the cd?  Do not tell me to buy it because it is cheap or that I can always return it or whatever.  When you go into a record store or on a download site you can read the track listing of the cd or download album - in most cases.

This mess with pages without track listings is just too rampant on the internet.

Why should I do for free what employees at Amazon and the record labels are being paid for but are just too lazy?

TITLES AND ARTISTS.
1. The Master Plan - Diana Brown and Barrie K. Sharpe
2. Blacksmith - Hold You Back - (Slammin' Edit)
3. Orbital - Chime
4. Planet X - I Won't Dance
5. Satoshi Tomiie f/ Arnold Davis - And I Loved You (Classic Club Mix)
6. D-Mob (Vocals by Cathy Dennis before she went solo) - C'mon Get My Love (Love & Kisses Mix)
7. 1 World - Down On Love (Assertive Edit)
8. Carlton - Do You Dream (No Bass Mix)
9. Shakespear's Sister - Dirty Mind (E-Zee Remix)
10. Izit - Stories (Mellow Mix)

Early 1990s House and Electronic dance music, in my opinion was a better and more "real" type of dance music as it seemed to draw on traditional Jazz and R&B.  The instruments sounded more realistic opposed to overly synthesized like that of Techno or Rave type of music.

Satoshi Tomiie and Arnold Jarvis's "And I Loved You" with Frankie Knuckles producing has a style that I miss in today's electronica dance music, not that today's music is absolutely no good, I am not saying that but sometimes dance music evolves and changes too fast for it's own good.  You do not see Rock n Roll evolving as fast as dance music does.


title: Uhmmm - where is the singing?

text: This cd is complete nonsense put to music!  While the music is danceable, it gets monotonous rather quickly and the word "Ahnonghay" (I think, I really could not make it out) being repeated over and over does nothing but make the track annoying.  Now, as if one mix of this wasn't nonesense was not enough, two more versions follow with the same thing.  Following these three versions comes "Do Ya" and unbelievably, it is yet another mostly instrumental with - this time - a phrase being repeated over and over!  Gee wiz!  Could not the words "The Dub Mixes" been emblazened across the front artwork and the disc?.<br />  Is this the same "Inner City" responsible for "Good Life", "Big Fun", and "Do You Love What You Feel" among other House Music jams in the very late 80's and early 90's?  I guess it is not the artist's fault their songs have been rendered into these hodge-podge excuses that pass for dance music.  If you like dub mixes, or mimimal to no vocal, then you should find this to be good

5. Give It Up

8. Do I Know You?

This is fun light hearted Rock/Pop with a bit of Smooth Jazz.  While I won't contend that this band sounds anything like Steely Dan, I would recommend this type of music to those who like Steely Dan and music that fits into both the Rock/Pop and Smooth Jazz camps.  I won't go as far as to call this Easy Rock which is too mellow but I won't say that it goes into the likes of Kenny G when it comes to it's smooth jazz appeal.  Too bad there are no music snippets

title: Classic Soul from the late 70's

text:
As a kid listening to the local Soul station, "I Am Your Woman, She Is Your Wife" was a regular play in the summer on 1978.

I never thought I would ever hear that song again, I never even knew who sang it.  Well, a little rummaging though old music charts on the library's "micro-phish" rolls helped me find out who this song was by, and the internet helped me locate a place to purchase it.

Not only is the title track great but I really like the entire album.  Another song that really stands out is called "I Don't Want No Other Love".  It is an infectious dance number although it is a short song - short but sweet.  Now there is a dance number on here that is long called "Take Me Tonight", this may have been a disco number as it is just under seven minutes.  At first I did not care for this song as it seemed to drag on but it grew on me.  There are a few ballads on here too.

title: Frustrating ending plus AUDIOBOOK review

text:
**NO SPOILERS** I enjoyed this novel up until the last 20 minutes of audio (maybe 20 pages). I wasn't sure how interested I was in listening to a holocaust story, but I found it totally engrossing and I was hooked to see how the ending worked out.  But Picoult did not deliver, and I really expect a writer like her to give a bit more satisfaction.

Let's face it.  Jodi Picoult is an entertaining beach book writer with an incredible talent for unique plot lines and plot twists. But she is not Herman Melville. Or Evelyn Waugh. Or Thomas Hardy.  When I threw "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" across the room out of frustration, I understood that Hardy's masterpiece made the upsetting outcome inevitable.

Jodi Picoult's dissatisfying ending was NOT inevitable.  You can watch her manipulate the plot line all the way through the book and you spend about 100 pages, once you've detected the plot twist, waiting for the culmination, a meeting of two people after many years (not a spoiler, this becomes obvious pretty early on). Without spoiling, all I can say is that she REALLY disappointed me. Maybe she thinks she's being all artsy-fartsy high-end fiction where things don't always work out but this is not high-end fiction. All that engineering and she still couldn't even give us what we were waiting for? It still could have gone a number of different directions (things didn't have to go hunky-dory and I would have been fine with it) that all could have involved some sort of resolution, without being so horribly dissatisfying and unfulfilling as Ms. Picoult made it.

I also found that she did not resolve or deal with the main character's personal issues in any satisfying way.  The main character has been in a terrible automobile accident (before the book begins) and is facially scarred from it. She also feels a lot of guilt over causing her mother's death in that accident. A big deal is made about how self-conscious she is about her looks and how guilty she feels about her mother.  None of these issues are ever resolved in any meaningful way - she just falls in love and gradually starts showing her face, but we never see her truly deal with her feelings of guilt, and this too was unsatisfying.

Audiobook review: This is a multiple narrator recording. I can say that 3 out of the 4 readers were quite good. However, the narrator who did "Leo"'s point of view was just awful. He kind of used a stereotypical New York Jewish voice for his female characters, and his attempts to narrate the words of Sage (the main character) were just awful, sounded a bit like an old lady. Luckily his narration is not a huge part of the book.  There are also a lot of pauses in the narration every paragraph or so in sections, as if the narrator took a lot of breaks and the producers didn't paste it back together very well. A little distracting at times, but generally a decent production.


title: CD - Songs of Faith by Jim Reeves

text: I wanted to gift this item for someone who had a damaged copy.  I was so happy to find a seller that had this CD.  The description of the condition of the CD was accurate.  I am very happy with the purchase.


title: Awesome album!

text: The key is when the songs stay with you for months afterward. That they have.


title: Musical, varied, interesting

text: Musical, varied, interesting, well-played.  Go for it!


title: Great classic fiddler; great sound

text: CD really shows off some nice fiddling. He is one of the cleanest I've heard.  Also, some interesting variants of well known tunes are represented here.  The sound of the CD is very clean as well.


title: I was there at the concert in October 1970, and it's a miracle that this CD exists now!

text: I am biased by virtue of being a huge fan of all three of the artists on this CD -- Joni, James, and Phil.  I was a student at WWU in Bellingham at the time, and drove the 50+ miles up into Canada to attend the concert.  It was a sellout, as far as I could tell.  I remember where I sat, and the whole thing was a beautiful experience --- for $3.00!!!  The tape was recorded legitimately and was kept by the Stowe family (founding members of GreenPeace) more or less under wraps for over 30 years.  The recording is very good quality and the performances are first rate.  The atmosphere was casual but passionate about the environmental cause --- trying to prevent the U.S. from doing Atomic testing on Amchitka Island.  The year 2020 is the 50th anniversary of GreenPeace and I have suggested to them that they re-issue the CD now since it has become rare and expensive.  James and Joni were very supportive of the CD release in 2009 --- Phil died back in 1976.  His rendition of "No More Songs" is tremendous in solo acoustic form.  James and Joni were an item at the time, so Joni asked the concert organizers if it was OK if she brought him along!!!  Yes, it was a great idea, LOL.


title: Cool little album actually

text: I guess these were special performances for a special event or something? Whatever the case, i like it!


title: Interesting mix of songs & well worth the price

text: I love train songs. I grew up hearing them on the radio & listening to my dad & uncles playing them on harmonica during long trips or on piano, guitar or banjo at their homes or ours. I admit there are some missing from this collection -- no Orange Blossom Special or New River Train, or City of New Orleans or The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore, but, by & large, it is an impressive collection. Ten CDs, each with 20 tracks. Each CD is in a separate cardboard slipcover with the contents of that CD listed on the back. Each list includes the name of the person or group performing, name of the song, name of the writer, & original release date of the specific recording. The 10 CDs, in their slipcases, are all in a nice box. The CDs average 50 minutes each, so it's a set you could listen to all day while you build that new deck or put together that special meal for the homecoming veteran. You might want to remember that the collection was put together by a German company, which may explain the inclusion of Mule Train (the Frankie Laine version & the Tennessee Ernie Ford version) as well as Marty Robbins' wonderful (but not train related) Big Iron. There are several songs performed by more than one artist so technically there are not 200 different songs -- but there are more than you will find in any other album. There are 2 versions of The Rock Island Line, 3 of Choo Choo Ch'Boogie, 2 of Wabash Cannonball, 3 of This Train, 2 of Chattanooga Choo Choo, 2 of The Golden Rocket, 3 of Mystery Train, & 2 each of Folsom Prison Blues, Pan American, Hobo Bill's Last Ride & Wreck of the Old 97. I think that covers all the repeats but I wouldn't swear to it -- & since the various versions are done by different performers, they are not exactly "repeats". I am enjoying this collection and I suspect anyone who is  a train song nut would enjoy it as well. Sure, it isn't absolutely perfect, but what is? It is an interesting mix of songs and it is well worth the price.

text:
Truly one of the greatest sci-fi epics to grace the screen, AOTC succeeds in every way a Star Wars film should and beyond.  Honestly, pay no mind to the jaded and vitriolic critics or those so-called fans who endlessly nitpick and spew empty vitriol, this film is an incredible must-see experience that builds upon itself to its stunning and breathtaking conclusion! You will want to see this film again and again!
Without giving away too many spoilers, the plot is both complex, yet not difficult to follow (especially if you've been paying attention over the years), expanding the machiavellian theme of the rise of the ultimate dictator to power.  Here the tragedy grows and begins to unfold, weaving everyone in its fatal web.  Events that take place in this film aid in understanding several events from 1999's Phantom Menace while at the same time building enormous anticipation for the final and darkest installment.  While never a Jar Jar hater myself, his character's purpose in this film demonstrates that Lucas knew what he was doing all along.  Indeed the satiric, yet subtle social and political commentary he makes is both relevant and accurate.  Nevertheless, make no mistake, this is first and foremost an action film!
If there's anything negative I could say, it's that the action and sheer spectacular and riveting scenes may tend to make the old trilogy seem a trifle slow!  But this is a good fault, after all!
The other main plot is of course Anakin and his relationships -- both with Obi Wan and Padme Amidala.  These are handled perfectly.  The acting is superb from everyone involved and the love story works on a level different from what you might expect.  I kept hearing from the critics that the dialogue was cheesy, blah, blah, blah...  The fact remains that the dialogue is NO different from any other Star Wars film.  It works for this kind of film.  If you're looking for Shakespeare or have an inability to relate to anyone beside post-modern, ultra-hip, anti-hero Gen-Xrs, then go elsewhere -- Star Wars is just not for you.
In conclusion, if you are a fan of Star Wars, or simply a fan of great movies, you will absolutely love this film!  I can't wait to go see it again!  It is witty and intense and a wild ride through an amazing universe filled with exotic new planets, fearsome creatures, an array of fantastic ships, lightsaber battles, Sith Lords and powerful Jedi.  It's got R2 and 3PO (who are just hysterical!), Christopher Lee (if you loved him in LOTR, you'll love him here!), Jango and Boba Fett and so much more!  Oh and did I mention Yoda!  You'll just have to wait and see!

title: Be informed:This is NOT a performance CD, it.s an INSTRUCTIONAL CD

text: BE INFORMED: This is not a performance CD by Carrie Underwood.. It is an instructional CD. It only has 1 song...How Great Thou Art... The song is performed 7 times in 7 different pitches. Quoting the CD, it says, "Demonstration is in the high range as made popular by Carrie Underwood." This is not a CD of her singing Praise Hymns. We thought we were getting a CD of Carrie singing Praise Hymn's, buy it is an instructional CD.


title: I love music that gives Praise to our God!

text: I love to purchase the Maranatha Music items. I started going to Calvary Chapel in 1972 when the music was developing. Guitars, drums, and wonderful performers were evolving. This is a nice addition to my collection. Love to sing praise songs during the day. This is an very good CD.


title: Maybe the Best Tenor Today

text: I am certainly not an expert on opera, but to accuse Bocelli of not being technically perfect is like criticizing Wayne Gretzky or Michael Jordan for not always playing by the book. I like Bocelli more than any other tenor.  His voice is more clear than Pavarotti's, and I feel an instant connection  to his signing. That he achieved such world-wide popularity, being blind  and all, and is raising a family, too, says something important about him.  Anyway, this is one of the best opera albums ever, and unlike many albums  in the genre, this one is not intrusive or overwhelming--Bocelli's voice  flows softly, while maintaining some distance from the listener and not  getting under his skin. Buy it now.


title: Brilliant!

text: If you liked the fillm, you'll like this!  A great addition to any Kate Winslet collection!


title: Five Stars

text: Love these old songs


title: Fantastic!!!

text: As a child of the 70's I absolutely love the music from that era.  This CD brought back so many memories.  They just don't make music like that anymore!


title: old grandson enjoyed it. The 7 yr

text: My 7yr. old grandson and my 13 yr. old grandson enjoyed it.  The 7 yr. old pRTICULARLY ENJOYED IT.  I recommend an adult prepare the “audience” with particular questions.  I primed them with many, one of such was, “Let’s count how many stories within the story there are.”  Even the younger one found my question intriguing!

title: Five Stars

text: Great product.


title: Excellent first solo effort...

text: Terry Scott Taylor's first two solo albums were strongly influenced by his collaboration with Rob Watson, so have a heavy 80s-synth sound.  Taylor's songwriting here, as elsewhere, is excellent, however, so regardless of your preference for 80s music this album will appeal to listeners who care for songs that cross over into poetry and music that effectively captures their mood.


title: Vrijeme Njeznosti

text: I love it. Great IvoRobic recording. Very romantic. One of Ivo's best performances. Very original music.<br />For more on Ivo Robic go to IVOROBIC.COM


title: Consistently Underwhelming

text:
Not only slow tempos, but lack of drive.  Not quite able to see where the emphasis should go.  Flacid, drawn-out notes where there should be some punch.  (Beethoven is not a moderate.)

I appreciate a broad tempo where it provides better instrumental tone quality or more transparency between parts.  That doesn't seem to apply in these recordings.


title: Five Stars

text: Very good album. Enjoyed it!


title: Verdi and Bocelli,  The Best!!!

text: What more is there to say about Andrea Bocelli?  Wow! --and singing selections from VERDI.  It doesn't get better than this!


title: Dead Like Me OST

text: I was so happy to learn that there was a soundtrack for 'Dead Like Me' but I was worried that it would be the songs and pop music that were sometimes used in the show.  Thankfully, what I received was the actual score of the show and it is wonderful.  I collect the music from films and shows that I truly love and this soundtrack is a welcome addition to my playlist.


title: Excellent movie, for the middle of a trilogy

text:
Having spent nearly all day reading approximately a third of the 600 odd reviews of this movie, and seeing only one decent plot summary among them, I would, very quickly, like to remind any future reviewers who read this that we are here to review the movie itself and not each other's reviews. That said, a quick run down of the plot:
As the movie opens Senator (no longer queen) Padme Amidala returns to Coruscant for an important vote in the Senate over whether or not to create an Army of the Republic to assist the increasingly overburdened Jedi Knights in their defense of the galaxy. Amidala is opposed to the move, since she feels that a standing army would invite war rather than prevent it. For her trouble, Padme receives an assasination attempt from an unknown source. Palpatine, in his usual snake-oil style, claims patriotism, and demands, against Padme's wishes, that she be protected, and that the assasin be found. The Jedi council confers, and dispatches Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker as her protectors. Anakin realizes he is in love with Padme, and tells Obi-Wan so, which is why it is so mystifying that he makes the decision to leave the two of them alone together on Naboo while he fulfills his further assignment of discovering the source of a Clone army, ready and waiting for the republic, supposedly ordered ten years previously by a Jedi Council member thought long dead. (But honestly, who didn't see *something* like this coming from the moment they kissed in Episode I?)
Enough of that, I don't want to spoil everything.
Favorite spots:
Padme--Now it makes sense why Luke can defeat Vader in Return of the Jedi (trust me, the arena scene explains a lot--Sister's doin' it for herself! Yeah!)
Yoda--again, don't look at the spoilers of other reviewers down the page...just...trust me.
Lucas has done it again, with perhaps the greatest episode yet! I know for my part I enjoyed this one better than the original trilogy. Buy it!


title: great album

text:
I'm only seventeen, but have always been a big fan of Queensryche (I was born amidst the eighties hair metal era in 85) since I was about five. I was about nine when this one came out.
I have fond memories of listening to this album in the dark... especially "Out Of Mind" over and over for some reason. I could not get enough of this CD. I'd tell dad "Hey, isn't the CD awesome?" And he'd say "It's not Operation Mindcrime," or, even more annoyingly, "It's not Empire."
So what? "Empire," while being a great, great record, doesn't have the complexity and emotion this one does. You want Empire? Buy it or listen to the copy you already own. This album here is an emotional rollercoaster that is well worth the time to take.
"Bridge," being the album's main hit, is heart-rendering. "Someone Else?" is jaw-droppingly amazing.
I'm not one for hair metal much these days, but will at the drop of a dime hear "Out of Mind" again. What a great album.


title: He likes it

text: I bought this for my brother for Christmas.  He really likes it and it is a rare CD to find.


Take time to listen and get to know these songs, and you will love them more each time you listen.


title: Thank Goodness this Exists!

text: As someone on a budget and a Dokken fan, I was grateful to see them packaging five of their original albums in one pack. This eliminated the need to track down and purchasing these albums. Great quality, great price, great music, enough said.


title: Quality, the price is a bit high, I  Thank you for asking.

text: The first song I was under able to understand other than that I enjoy the music. I share this with the company & they send me another cd however it was the same one as the first one.

text: I love paquita del barrio shes my idol


title: Robin Gibb..that’s all ya gotta know!

text: Known for his amazing vocals for pop group The Bee Gees, Robin takes lead on every song.  Louder guitars, upbeat tempos.  If you like more ballads, this might not be for you.  Yet if you love his voice in any way, keep your mind and heart open.  Robin delivers amazingly and is still amazing here!  Love every song!


title: A great start to a solo career!

text: I am and have always been a fan of Robin Gibb, whether with Bee Gees or on his own solo career.  With this CD,"Robin's Reign"  this is a brilliant start to a wonderful career.  Robin's most known song on this CD is "Saved By The Bell."  A beautiful song that is melancholy, but has a haunting sound to it, like Robin's voice was through out his life.  "August October" which is the first song is very beautiful along with "Lord Bless All."  I recommend this to anyone who loves Robin Gibb or Bee Gees music.  It's a classic.

I am still saddened by the world’s loss of Tom Petty. I have liked a number of songs by the uniquely voiced, Lucinda Williams. I ‘reserved’ a copy of this tribute to Tom Petty as soon as it appeared on Amazon.

My very ‘first listen’ had me loving two cuts, GAINESVILLE and STOLEN MOMENTS. I found ‘Stolen Moments’ to be so great, that I wanted the lyrics and to learn more about the song, like when did Tom Petty publish ‘that’ song. He didn’t. It was written for him by Ms. Williams.

Those two songs remain favorites however, I have played this cd repeatedly. In the old days or now since vinyl popularity is raging, I would have dug deep grooves into ‘Stolen Moments’. I can not hear it enough.

Same goes for the rest of this cd. In searching for more Lucinda Williams on Amazon, I was astonished to see a $900.00 + price tag on a cd of hers. Skip that one and get this; currently, a priceless bargain!

And thank you Lucinda Williams, for your ‘sharing’ your and our loss of a true Master, Tom Petty, ”...like a prayer, you are there...”

title: Can't set time or temp

text: Mine might be defective.  Unit has a knob that you push to start unit after it is plugged in.  You turn that same knob after you push the time or temp when using Air Fryer selection to change time or temp.  As soon as I start to turn knob, unit kicks out of mode and is back to square 1 and again requires restart.  Also does this on time set for pressure cooker.  If start unit using default setting and wait a couple of minutes, might get lucky and can set time or temp.  Contacted Nuwave.  They would start warranty claim if I sent receipt, photo of problem, etc.  But customer must pay shipping both directions which would be another $100.  NO THANKS!  Look for another product.

text: Arrived in top notch shape


title: A must have!!!!

text: A great live recording. Really wish I could have seen them when they toured. This is the next best thing. Sounds fantastic and Bob as usual mixes up his arrangements on most of his songs.

Total Running Time 161 Minutes 31 songs.


title: An album that will play non stop

text: A master piece of music, specially the string arrangements,  it is one of these albums that you listen over over over again without fatigue. The art work and attention to the detail is all there, a music well done with a respect for the album buyer. I have the CD just ordered the LP as well which is recorded in analog, it is an album that merits buying an LP, unlike many other albums which are just a analog versions of the digital recording....  Great Job


title: 80s rock done the RIGHT way.

text: This is a top-notch 80s style hard rock cd from a highly under-recognized band from Brooklyn NY. I bought a copy when it came out, and now I am gifting it to a friend. Everything is strong on this record: songs, vocals, instrumental work and production. Standout cuts are "But It's Heavy" and "Radio CIty".  All in all a great effort. Had this cd come out in 1988 instead of 1994 it would have turned some heads. If you like 80s rock, buy this - you will not be disappointed.


title: My favorite album of the past decade

text:
I give my strongest personal endorsement to Harrod and Funck's "Live" CD.  It's of comparable quality to Simon and Garfunkel Sounds of Silence.  Perhaps there's less pure blatant talent, but more poetic finesse.

At least do yourself a favor and give it a listen.  Overall, three-star music and four-star lyrics with some even better gems.

"There's a far-away look in your eye/ It's behind the lines of the second page... It's a bore when your heart's vandalized/ By the ones who smile and say 'that's the breaks'/ And the see-you-later-but-you-know-I-did-love-you embrace/ That you've grown used to." - from "All Fall Down"

Here's a well-written full review I found:

title: Three Stars

text: This purse is cute but smaller than I wanted .  It was hard to stand up


title: Great solo piano

text: Daniel Ho has a very delicate and fine touch on the piano as well as the slack key guitar and ukulele.  This album is dedicated to his late father, and it is beautifully done -- calming and thoughtful music, especially good to listen to in the evening to relax.


title: Great entertainment

text: This is our third audio adventure series purchase and we enjoyed it as much as the other two!  Great job bringing history to life!  The voice acting and music/sound effects are all professionally done.  I love the focus on character that each of these stories brings.


title: Sensational Out of Print CD Collection

text: 4 CD set from Reader's Digest, featuring cover performances of the top hits from the 30s-70s.  Bought used.  In impeccable shape and not a scratch on the CDs.  Very pleased!


title: I'm Linda Lyons

text: I am on this album and it was great!The cast was excellent! The musical idea was about 6 actor hopefuls trying to get a break in Hollywood and their frustrations and fears. One particular standout is "What About Today?" an eternal question actors have about how they're going to do on an audition once they even get one. Anyone interested in 80s Hollywood and those that inhabited it will be interested in this music and the actors.

title: Good to start with, or for short workouts.

text: Great way to start working out on a treadmill, or if you have limited time.  I can get in a 20 minute workout before I get ready for work, then do another one when I come home.  I like not having to mess with adjusting the speed and incline an can just walk.  Just remember that you need to have the volume all the way up to run the treadmill.  I run an audio cord from my computer to the iFit jack in the treadmill, and then connect a speaker with volume control to the headphone jack.  I connect headphone to the speaker so I can have the sound at a good level.  My only complaint is that the music really doesn't match the speed they want you to walk unless you have longer legs.

title: For Die-Hard Nic Fans Only

text:
As a die-hard Nicholas Tse fan, I am very happy with this album even though it contains only 6 songs and, of those, only 3 are not heard on other albums. However those 3 songs are terrific, especially my favorite: (The) Angelina Without an Overcoat. The others are No Need to Change Deliberately, and Alone for No Reason.
The case insert contains the names of the songs in (I assume) Cantonese, but, except for a word here or there, there isn't any English. The case-back insert contains even less.
On this CD:
1. Wordless Expression (無聲仿有聲)
2. No Need to Change Deliberately (不要刻意改變)
3. The Angelina Without An Overcoat (沒有外套的 Angelina) - I've seen it written both with and without the "The."
4. Mediocre Person (庸人)
5. Alone For No Reason (無端端一個人)
6. Wordless Expression (mandarin) (無聲仿有聲)


title: Great Music, Questionable Sellers

text:
This review is for Nightwish - Greatest Hits (2 CDs Set), which was advertised by the seller (not by Amazon) as a "Digipack."
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Finland, formed in 1996. Although there have been changes in the members of the band on occasion, which coincided with some changes in their style, the basics upon which their fans have relied have remained, making them the most successful Finnish band worldwide, according to Wikipedia.
I recently purchased Nightwish's Greatest Hits (2 CD Set) and the music is everything I could have wished for and more! The band's unique and outstanding approach to symphonic metal ranks them among the best musicians of all time, in my opinion, and the Hits CDs contain a superb selection of their most-loved songs.
The track listing in the Editorial Reviews, however, should have been a hint that there was a problem, but I put it down to someone's bad typing. Such was not the case, at least with the item I received. The spelling of the song titles in the review was exactly what appeared on my CD case - which was a bootleg compilation by a Russian pirate label called Star Mark. The seller's "NEW MINT SEALED Limited Edition 2 CD SET in a Digipack" didn't bother to mention that fact and, although they have admitted that their other copy of the same title is also a bootleg copy, I noticed that they still have it listed for sale - and still no mention of being pirated.
Since Star Mark is a pirate label out of Russia, I would be a bit concerned about the authenticity of a copy offered by the seller shipping from Russia, also. This is not intended, in any manner whatsoever, to indicate that that seller is not offering a genuine CD set. It is only a cautionary note to the buyer to investigate each seller thoroughly.


title: Great show.

text: Saw Steve's show while on an Alaskan cruise last May. Enjoyed his performance immensely. It fit right into the scheme of things Got his CD while there and will always be one of my highlights from that cruise. Don't miss his performance if you get the chance.

text: This is hopefully the last record by Tokio Hotel. I've been a fan for sometime and though these songs are good they are a long way from the Tokio Hotel I like. They seem to have lost their rock edge and thus my interest.


title: A hidden gem

text: This guy is, in a word, remarkable. I attended a local Philharmonic pops night of the music of Paul Simon. Brantley was one of three performers lending voice to the evening. He soared above the others. This modest six-song album is intensely heart-to-heart: a voice and a guitar, rich and soulful. He deserves a stage of his own.

These Canadian Country Music Hall of Famers have been tearing 'em up north of the border with great live shows and and their own combination of Roots-Classic Country-Honky Tonk-Cajun influenced music from forming in Toronto in 1975 to their last album One Kiss in 2006.  There videos are all over YouTube and well worth checking out .... but for the best representation of their music career .... do a search here for String of Pearls: A Greatest Hits Collection and spend a few bucks for a used copy.

Since breaking up, all the members of the band have been busy with other projects, but their lead singer, Russell deCarle, put out a solo album in 2010 called "Under the Big Big Sky", but it's only available on that "fruity" Canadian download store.

He either has a speech impediment/lisp or a strange accent, and an unusual cadence to his reading, and I find it distracting and sort of irritating, so find I'm concentrating more on his voice (and my dislike of it) than on the story... Really strange...

Paul Rosethal is a find, particularly his Bravura Variations on Alaska's Flag Song.

Too bad one must battle the brittle noise of a 1983 LP with demanding software filters, when a music foundation online pretends to offer a CD version -- but insists on a check, which it does not cash. Nor does it answer its email.

I believe I shall check on its IRS filings once I save this review....

title: A rushed and angry performance

text:
This was a surprise for me after hearing Brautigam play the 20th in a BBC documentary on Mozart. I bought this recording based on that performance.

One star for the cadenzas, that's it. The tempos are hurried, more painfully so in the middle movements. Were they late for a flight? Did the movers total the fortepiano?

The lack of depth, delicacy or direction is telling. Even BIS' engineering couldn't save this one. Since Brautigam's Mozart sonata set, as well as his BBC performance, were delightful, one is led to wonder if the cause was Willens.

Whatever. I'm steering clear of any other recording that they collaborated on.


title: Mature Pinnock

text:
No more speeding tickets, no more citations for stiff, rigid playing—the pulse is now steady yet subtly flexed, the touch refined, and the use of stagger to soften the rhythmic profile is lovely. The variation sets are impressive, but the Bach truly surprises; this is no longer the Pinnock of the 80's!
The Linn engineers captured the sound and ambiance much better than the Archiv engineers.
As the other other reviewer wrote, it is indeed a fascinating program.

You have been scolded.

Yes, they can be compared to Rush (or, Rush compared to them), with a little less 'fantasy' and more 'heavy'.

Any '70's rock fan, who has not heard Budgie, no 'wish list', 'buy now'.

I will definitely be picking up some individual albums to see what this is all about.

title: Where did this come from???

text:
It is rare that i would find an album that actually sounds original nowadays, ESPECIALLY from the contemporary Christian market!! I mean, what most producers/a+r guys do now in the Christian arena is just try to make a Christian group basically look as secular as possible, take the "Jesus" name out of the songs, and sing about "i love you", or something like that, and try to make as much money as possible. I mean, am i right?  Look at the top 20 now on the Christian Retail section of Billboard, and you'll see what i mean.

But, this group is shockingly good, and real at the same time.  I doubt they will make it on the mainstream though, because of that, which is sad.

"Put on Love" will make you cry, i promise.  "When I found", and "U know me" rock out, with a soulful flavor, that will want you to finally come out of your pew in church.  And "lost at sea", really spoke to me.

This band deserves the best that this world has to offer, and i wish them the best for the future.

These were some of the songs we had learned before we went out, or songs that gave themselves to us while we were out there. Some are from Native teachers that we had known. Some are from other circles of songsters. All profits from this are given to the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers.

title: SML’s Great Overlooked Gem (MP3)

text: For years I ignored this particular release, in part because SM and SML have been exclusive to the MoonJune label and since this is from that period and on a different label, I thought it was a bootleg.  I only recently realized this is indeed an official, though one-off, release, great sound quality and all.  Of course now the CD is very rare, out of print and people are trying to scalp collectors for it, so I settled for the MP3.  But I’m glad I did!  It was recorded in France around the same time Live in Zaanbar was done, so the lineup still includes the late, great Elton Dean and Hugh Hopper, as well as John Marshall and John Etheridge.  This alone makes the record a thing to be treasured.  The sound field is even clearer than Live in Zaanbar, and the performances are really ON.  It’s a longer program with even more material covered.  Lots of goodies from both Soft Works and SML’s self-titled studio album, but the improv is even better, with some surprises along the way.  And there’s a bit of interaction between Mr. Etheridge and the audience between songs, too, which is much less-heard, if at all, on the group’s other live records.  So, do yourself a favor, if you love the Soft Machine camp as well as I do:  don’t pass this dark horse up.  Get it now, or at least stream it, while you still can.  It’s as essential as any of their best releases in this latter-day part of their career.


title: An Overlooked Gem

text: It’s true, many see this as a fair-to-middling release from Rollins and in jazz in general.  Many expected more from Kenny Dorham in particular, and admittedly these aren’t among his best performances. Others wanted more spotlight on the other jazz masters featured here.  But the appropriateness and tasteful way the group handled this 26 plus minute tribute to Charlie Parker still makes this an essential jazz classic.  Instead of playing up Bird’s originals shortly after his death as so many did in an often ham fisted joining of the bandwagon, Rollins gave it some time and then focused more on standards that Bird was well-known for covering, all in a seamless, smooth flowing suite.  That and the tracks on the second side lead to long, lush, gorgeous traditional jazz that is most satisfying.


title: An Irresistible Deal

text: The seller is offering a fantastic bundle deal for these two sets— $40 for the first ten studio albums from one of the most revered acts in jazz history.  Granted, the two sets, originally released at different times, are not packaged in chronological order.  But, whatever.  The sound quality is great and it’s hours of some of the best fusion recordings of all time, from the abstract, Bitch’s Brew-influenced free jazz experiments of the first three albums to the more accessible funk-jazz of the Jaco Pastorius era (which is still very adventurous).  Of course, like all of these Original Albums sets, the discs are only in thin cardboard sleeves replicating the original vinyl jackets, housed in a cardboard slipcase, and there are no liner notes added.  But, still, very cool.  Don’t even think about it.  Get your bundle while they’re still available! It’s worth every penny. Now if Sony will only put out a set with the last four studio albums and maybe 8:30 thrown in for good measure…


title: An Oddity Of Ed Van Fleet’s Catalog

text: A bit of a dark horse in Ed Van Fleet and Synchestra’s canon, it’s not hard to believe it’s out of print where Elfin Music still offers most of the rest of their albums on their website to this day. The last of the recordings under the Synchestra moniker, percussionist John Wilson is conspicuously absent— there’s not so much of a hint of percussive instruments here or the expected sophisticated arrangements and layering found on the previous albums. Nor is there a strong theme like each of those albums carries. Rather, this music leans more toward true ambient music— repetitive, soft and barely present, intended as background to encourage focus when engaged in activities that require careful thought and creativity. Completely electronic, the two long tracks are actually quite different. “Oasis” is like modernized classical chamber music, a single melody repeated over and over for the duration. Not for active listening, this will drive most listeners insane unless they are using it as ambiance or a catalyst to sleep. “Sand” is perhaps more interesting; it’s not much more than a long, synthesized soundscape, but has the effect of stirring highly nostalgic daydreams. Ideas, Vol. 1 is certainly not what most of Van Fleet’s followers we’re generally looking for, so it turned out to be a failed experiment, and no Vol. 2 was ever forthcoming. It was also the retirement of the Synchestra name as Van Fleet recorded Migration and all other projects under his own name, returning to themed albums and deep melodies, albeit in shorter compositions. With his percussionist partner no longer in the picture since the previous collaborative album with David Blonski (“Shoreline”), this only made sense, anyway. But whether one enjoys this record or not will greatly depends on how they approach it and what they are looking to get out of it.


title: The Best Choice of MTB Compilation

text: This is a fine retrospective of one of the preeminent country rock bands to come out of the late 70s. First off, no butchered single edits— these are the full-length songs. Second, all three of their best-known songs that a casual listener would be looking for are here— “Can’t You See”, “Heard It In a Love Song” and the beloved epic “Take the Highway.”  And, the often overlooked signature title cut from Searchin’ for a Rainbow has also been included.  Granted, the sheer quantity of songs may be overwhelming for persons just looking for that handful of hits, but the “album” cuts chosen here are just as good for the most part, and should be easy to warm to.  And while some have complained about certain concert staples and grand epics being excluded, someone new to the group probably will not notice or care, given the quality of what is included.  Also not to be minimized is the fine booklet including insightful liner notes to compliment the collection. Overall, a great collection for any who love classic country rock smattered with a healthy dose of jazz and progressive rock.


title: One Version or Another, a Worthwhile Purchase

text: This is simply a re-packaging of the earlier, 1985 The Best of Al Stewart (which was without the Songs From the Radio subtitle) with a nicer, less "budget-looking" cover.  Either way, it's a great intro to an exceptional singer-songwriter. If all you know is "Time Passages" and "The Year of the Cat", you're missing out, and will find more to love on this fine collection of sophisticated soft rock and history-informed, virtuosic folk and progressive pop.


title: A Worthy 70's Rock Chestnut

text:
This is one of those great, underrated classic rock albums that should have been given more of a chance.  Like Head East's "Flat as a Pancake" and Red Rider's "As Far as Siam," people that don't know any better tend to dismiss this album as good for only that one song-- in this case, "Rock and Roll Hootchie-Coo"-- and proceed to categorize the artist as a one-hit wonder.  But this is simply not fair.  There's plenty of other strong tracks and classic moments here:  Such as how the excellent instrumental "Joy Ride" segues perfectly into the tragic ballad "Teenage Queen."  Or the sloppy party-rocker "Uncomplicated."  We have another great instrumental in "Time Warp" and an absolutely perfect, if not slightly too short, Motown-like pop tune in "It's Raining."  And though dated-sounding, "The Airport Giveth (The Airport Taketh Away)" is just too cleverly written to not be a favorite guilty pleasure.
Granted, this album is not perfect.  Some of it is too rooted in the trends of it's time to escape irrelevance.  There's also a lot of cliche, both musically and lyrically.  Like in the lyrics to the aforementioned "Teenage Queen"-- the story's over-similar to "Last Kiss."  And "Teenage Love Affair" comes across a little too goofy for my tastes.
But negatives aside, as a whole this is a great album for any classic rock fan's collection.  It's variety in style from track to track, clever production and Derringer's top-notch musician-ship, as well as some great guest appearances from Joe Walsh and Edgar Winter make it well-worth the price.  Here we see an artist who is versatile and talented-- a thing that is becoming, sadly, less and less common.


title: The Best Worst Album Ever

text:
I honestly can't figure out why people have called Attila's album "The Worst Rock Album in History".  Have these same critics ever listened to Deep Purple's first three albums?  Or Uriah Heep's first several?  This is no worse.  It's just typical, Hammond-based heavy metal from it's period. In fact, Attila has songs on it I like better than anything on those recordings.  Heck, I love every song on it.  Songs like "California Flash", "Revenge is Sweet" and the "Amplifier Fire" suite are some of my favorite moments in classic rock.  Billy Joel should not be so hard on himself in wishing no one would ever hear this again.  But then, he was always his own worst critic.
I had this compilation (which is the Attila album, with tracks one and two switched, and 6 other mystery selections-- more on that in a moment-- tacked onto the end) on tape years ago, and the only complaint I had was the murky sound quality.  But this CD greatly improves on that.  Considering the time of it's recording, it's very clear.  I guess that's the difference between analog and digital mediums.
As for the stuff credited to the Hassles-- the mystery selections-- I have recently discovered that tracks 9-14 have nothing to do with them or Billy Joel.  It is a misnomer.  I searched quite a while on the web looking for the origin of these songs, and kept coming up with nothing, until I found an obscure Spanish-language web site which mentions that these tracks are related to a group "of the so-called epoch 'The Odissey'", whatever that means.  I actually like these songs, but what they are doing on this disk is a complete mystery, nor have I been able to find any explaination beyond that statement.  But I always suspected this since no Hassles discography ever mentions any of these song titles, and no searches for them in relation to Billy Joel or any of his groups yield results.  Further, while the vocalist sounds similar, it is obviously not Mr. Joel.
Still, altogether, I can listen to this CD from beginning to end, all the while being fully entertained.  There is not a single track here I am tempted to skip.  And for the extremely low price I paid, I'd say that's a real bargain.


title: Judy Collins At Her Christmas Best

text: A delightful live presentation in concert with a children's choir, with many of the songs from Judy's Christmas CD "Come Rejoice" performed on this project!  Very lush, pretty, and certain to get you in the Christmas mood and spirit.  Highly recommended with 2 thumbs up!


title: ATTENTION:  This is a Compliation!

text: ATTENTION: This is a compilation of the best tracks from Secret Garden's first three albums.  The very last track titled "Last Present" is a previously unreleased song, and is a beautiful closing track to this CD. I am appalled at some of the other reviewers of this CD putting it down because they didn't know it was a compilation.  That's their own fault, and no reason to knock Secret Garden's ethereal style of music.  Considered either Celtic or new age, I love Rolf and Fionnuala and their entire catalog of work.  Truly relaxing, and has helped me fall asleep on many difficult nights. Highly recommended.


title: A complete compilation of The Moody Blues earliest work.....

text: OF SPECIAL NOTE: With a very few exceptions, all of the songs on this double LP are recorded by the ORIGINAL 5 man lineup of The Moody Blues when they first formed in May 1964.  That original group included Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Ray Thomas, Michael Pinder, and Graeme Edge.  Their musical sound as a band in those years was extremely different and was long before the Moody Blues developed into the cosmic, symphonic, and famous version of the group when Laine and Warwick departed in 1966, and replaced by Justin Hayward and John Lodge. Oh, and those "few exceptions"  that I mentioned above are the Justin Hayward composition "Fly Me High" and Michael Pinder's "Love And Beauty" both which are excellent tunes.  And of course, The Moody Blues very first hit single "Go Now" with Denny Laine on lead vocal is included in this set.  If one is appreciative of the complete story and history of this legendary band, this double LP is a wonderful starting point.  It is not all that easy to find, not overly expensive and can be obtained with some searching.  Like new or mint condition copies are very tough to find, however.  And no, my copy in near mint condition is not for sale.


title: Aside from The Moody Blues, the best artist signed to their Threshold record label...

text:
Originating in Boise, Idaho before relocating to Portland, Oregon, the talented six-member band who named themselves Providence issued this project in 1972.  Sadly, it eventually would be their only album release, but it pleasantly happened on the same record label as the Moody Blues, that being Threshold records. Also, long-time Moodies producer Tony Clarke (often called "the sixth Moody") had a hand in producing and mixing the final product.  Providence's mellow music is very different from the Moody Blues musical style, but those who love the Moodies should find this album sweet listening! Providence's musical style back then, by most honest critics, would be considered primarily "celtic" today. There's an abundance of string arrangments used by four of the group members, including violins, viola, cello, and harpsichord with just one member on bass and one on lead guitar.  In addition, Justin Hayward & John Lodge of The Moody Blues so admired and respected the talents of Providence group members Jim Cockey and brothers Tim & Tom Tompkins that they were invited to provide additional instrumentation on Hayward & Lodge's incredibly successful "Blue Jays" album in 1975!  Other acts that were signed onto the Threshold record label during that period were Nicky James (who later worked with Moodies flautist Ray Thomas on his two solo albums in the mid 1970's), and the hard rock band Trapeze.  However, amongest the three other artists signed onto Threshold, this lone Providence album still remains as my favorite.  If you are a Moodies fan, my belief is you will heartily enjoy this one.  Finding a rare LP copy won't be easy, but worth the search, and to the best of my knowledge, this album was never released in CD format here in America.

P.S.  By the way, that is Mt. Hood in Oregon on the album cover!


title: Just in Time for Justin on the stage at San Juan Capistrano...

text:
This hard-to-locate CD is worth it's weight in gold.  Justin opens the concert with "unplugged versions" of Moodies Classics, including "Your Wildest Dreams" and "The Land of Make Believe", then also performs "unplugged" versions of "Lost and Found", "Blue Guitar", and "Children of Paradise." Just simple tunes that Justin sings while playing his acoustic guitar. Simply beautiful.  It would be the perfect setting if he was singing these on a moonlit summer night beside a campfire seranading everyone before retiring for the evening.

Thereafter, Mickey Feat on bass, Paul Bliss on keyboards, and Gordon Marshall on drums, percussion, keyboards, and flute join Justin on stage for the rest of the performance. These four gentlemen blend in traditional Moodies classics with numbers from Justin's solo albums while concentrating mostly on cuts from "The View From the Hill" released two years earlier.  Highlights include Gordon Marshall's drum solo toward the end of "The Story In Your Eyes", "Forever Autumn" from the War Of The Worlds album, the seldom performed "Watching and Waiting," and of course "Tuesday Afternoon" and "Nights In White Satin" performed back to back toward the end of the show.  While the accompanying DVD video showcases 22 selections performed at this special venue, this CD features 18 songs from the concert tightly edited (leaving out all talking segments) in just under 80 minutes time, meaning 4 tracks had to be left off the CD due to lack of available space.  Those four songs are "Driftwood", "It's Up To You", "The Voice", and "Question".

I wish I could have been there in attendance for this special engagement, but the DVD and music CD will have to wonderfully suffice.  Great live performance from Justin and his dear friends.  Highly recommended.  Not easy to locate, but well worth it.


title: Just so-so

text: Hmmm....can't believe I'm the first to review this deluxe edition, but OK.  On one hand, I should consider myself lucky to have it.  Amazon took almost 4 months to get it to me, but now I see that it is no longer available, and the price to get it is enormous.  But, for a deluxe edition, the sound is disappointing and the live set is just okay.  The sound is thin, and I would rather have seen more b-sides and unreleased studio stuff than the live stuff (I already had it on a bootleg).


title: too much water under the bridge, quality doesn't reflect price.

text: Sometimes, the wait is too long, and the reason becomes moot.  Between recent deluxe releases of the regular LPs and good quality bootlegs, most of this has already been released, in as good or better sound.  So the raison d'etre would be to compile a quality set, with a high quality book included, that kinks fans could treasure.  But the "book" is cheap, lightweight paper, and the box quality is about the same.  The remastering, at least to my ears on first listen, is about the same as the last round of deluxe album remasters, except maybe not quite as loud or dynamic.  However, I will say that as I lost interest in the Kinks around 1973 (with a short renaisance between 1977-1983), it's nice to have the compiler's picks from the last 20 years of the Kinks career.  At least I'll get a taste of what I've missed.  No doubt, the Kinks were one of the seminal musical entities of the 60s, and had as much to do with developing the "art" of rock music as anyone, including Dylan, The Beatles, the Stones and the Who.  The certainly deserve a box set, whatever that means in this era.  I just think it should have been of higher quality, with more emphasis on the book.  It would have attracted more fans, I think.  Look, this is the first review of this box.  What does that tell you?


title: more of a response to other reviewers

text:
The truth is, I don't own this particular CD, but several reviewers are mistaken about the facts of this material.  First, it has been available in very high quality form since Joe Pope released it on a series of 45s on his own Deccagone label in approximately 1974.  It then appeared on several LPs, two of which I own, in the 80s.  These were not "bootlegs" in the traditional sense.  They were excellent quality and were probably legal recordings at that time.  I don't know if there has ever been a legal release of this material on CD, but there are at least two (probably many  more) really good quality bootleg CDs that contain this material, in true studio quality, with no hiss or surface noise.

Finally, there are 3 original Lennon/McCartney songs: Loved of the Loved, Hello Little Girl and Like Dreamers Do.  While not lost classics by any means, they provide a valuable glimpse into their really early writing style.
