title: I love this album!

text: We had these song on vinyl about 50 years ago.<br />We were so glad to now have them on CD's.


title: A fantastic story!!

text: We listened to this as a family and were totally glued!  It has a great message and is well done!


title: Great  buy from Trenton

text: Great record  also me buy and your  from my he town Trenton  NJ will buy from again


title: Favorite Local Band

text: Wow the memories this CD brings back, Friday night at CW Shaws when ever Hydra played. This has some songs from 'Rock the World', the album I could never find. The recording quality could be better, but still the music is fine. ManBat's voice is unmistakable, and is that Alex Cooley with the intro?<br />When I listen to this I am taken back to great music, pretty women, and good times.

title: Album of the year

text: Easily the best album of 2012 so far. Unlike anything I've heard before; very haunting sound, top notch production, insightful lyrics. I never thought I'd be a fan of autotuning, but instead of using it as the go-to patch for weak vocals, Polica manages to add complexity and depth with it. Can't think of any way this album could be improved.

text: I’ve been looking for this for a long time and was really happy you had it.  It did take a long time to get it, about 6 weeks.  I was just happy to get it in one piece.

title: Essential Billie from her best period.

text: The songs on this compilation are from her Columbia records years, all songs (except 2) are from 1933-1944, which was - without question - her greatest period.  The remastering is excellent, and since this collection was pressed in 1975 it must have been all analog.  The sound quality is the best you will find from the time period.  Any Billie fan would love this collection.  I have it at used records stores - always in NM- or EX condition, it seems that the people who bought this box never played it!  If I had to find a complaint it would be that the records are somewhat thin (120g?) which was common in the mid 70s, but the sound quality is still excellent.  From what I can find, there is nothing currently in print from this period of her career which is as well done.  If you find a copy in excellent condition, buy it, you'll love it!


title: Wonderful instrumentals!

text: These instrumentals are simply Great! My wife and I love to listen to this collection of tireless songs! Highly recommended!

title: Darkness and Light

text: Terrific! John Legend shows his immense talent once again.


title: A Masterpiece!!!

text: One of the best albums I have ever heard. This one rates right up there with their first and Ocean Songs. Dirty Three is truly one of the greatest bands this world has ever known. Warren Ellis (violin), Mick Turner (guitar) and Jim White (drums) don't just make beautiful and heart wrenching music, they have made it spiritual.

title: Super funny, great vinal

text: This album is awesome.  I heard it years ago and had all but forgotten about it until recently.  Its out of print, but for all you vinal freaks it is available.  Sit down and put the needle on the record, its worth it...


title: Great older quirky Christian album

text: Finally replaced my old tape of this album.  Nice to find it still available on CD.


title: Hey Roantics!

text: Most people don't know funnyman Jackie Gleason had his own orchestra which played soft, romantic music. Buy it and love it, you romantics!

text: The CD is great and arrived quickly.<br />Sharon


title: Refreshingly good

text: A wonderful and different rendition of these standard concertos. Bolet is  not afraid to slow the tempo and bring out the voices and harmonies usually lost in the faster louder interpretations. A good price for such good recordings.


title: I LOVE listening to the word

text:
As a "child of God", I LOVE listening to the word! My favorites are Pastor Hagee, Parsley, and the late pastors Patterson,
Hill and Kennedy. Pastor Parsley, preaches  from Isaiah 54/other powerful scriptures for your Christian "daily walk w/
Christ! I HIGHLY recommend!


title: Great Gospel Songs

text: Was not expecting to really like this as well as I did, but it was definitely Elvis at his gospel best.  I would prefer to listen to the CD's rather the DVD as you get pure music all the way through.  The DVD has a lot of talking and only part of each song which drives a person crazy trying to listen to it.  CD is very relaxing and has all the favorites - How Great Thou Art, I Believe, Peace in the Valley, American Trilogy, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Amazing Grace, In the Garden, Precious Lord, etc.  Would highly recommend these two CD's.


title: Five Stars

text: Very good sound for used one


title: Great compilation of Johnny Colon's music

text:
Great sound on this release.  This is a very full CD of Colon's music, but it does not include Boogaloo Blues.
Do not understand anonymous one star rating.
Notes are included but only in Spanish.


title: Mamie Eisenhower's favorite music -- What's not to like?

text:
Mamie Eisenhower once said that "The Three Suns" were her all-time favorite music group.  Relive the fabulous early 50s and get some.  If Mamie said it's good, then it must be so!

These three musicians had a precise sense of timing and are solid performers for this style of music.  Think of it as Lawrence Welk "elevator music" on steroids with a vintage 50s touch.  Love the Hammond organ and the accordion.

text: Great pics


title: Excellent CD as a gift

text: I absolutely love this artist. Her songs are so spiritual ..I listen to her songs every day.. they give me inner peace and I feel that I’m in touch with God. I listen to gospel music all the time, and she is at the top of my list..

title: Five Stars

text: BEAUTIFUL MUSIC !


title: I'm still loving it

text: I liked that this CD came about 3 weeks before I was expecting it, I was very shocked that it came early and with two posters. I've been loving this album and the posters.


title: The unknown beautiful voice

text: Beautiful voice you can liste this album and her voice all day long. I get to know this singer through and Alan Parson Album she sing as guest research her and found three CD she recorded and many as back singer for many big band like Pink floyd. She passed aways very young. I heard that she didn't pursue a solo career because was easy money sing in the back and didn't push her own singing career. All three albums I got are very beautiful music and you never get tired of her voice


title: Same songs same versions

text: This series of Deep Cuts are only to those who are not heavy Queen fans. These CDs are for those who want to know about Queen without buying the entire CD collection. Someone made a choice of the best songs of Queen, Vol 1 are a selection from the early albums. If you are an avid Queen listener this album don't bring anything new. I bought thinking that were new releases, new mixes or new versions but no,the versions are exactly as we know them, but all selected as singles. If you know Queen and have all Queen discography don't bother, If you don't know Queen and want to listen to their songs is a nice selection I don't know if are the best song of each album but that is hard for me to say because I believe everything Queen did especially in their early albums are fantastic


title: Sleep time.

text: Very nice to sleep to. I changed the order of the tracks and burned another CD, putting those with louder crescendos near the beginning.


title: Five Stars

text: Quick shipping everything was perfect


title: Way earlier than expected

text: AWESOME!! I live in california and it came in a week!


title: Choppy

text: The performances are good, yet each track fades in and out.  A bit choppy for a satisfying "live" listening experience.


title: An amazing collection of music.

text: Highly recommended for any fan of The 'OOOooo and PT.  Unfortunately, out of print now and difficult to find at a reasonable price.


title: Good praise and workship

text: If you like shalom Jerusalem, this is the Spanish version of it.  Rene Gonzalez makes an excellent interpretation of the songs, originally sang by Paul Wilbur.


title: Short LP from Sampha but worth the listen. You ...

text: Short LP from Sampha but worth the listen. You often hear him collaborate with Jessie Ware and SBTRK. He has this r&b, soulish, electronic, neo funk sound to him. Very chill sound if you dig that style. The vinyl played perfectly!


title: nice

text: Was good.


title: Good product but the platform is simply outdated

text: Not a terrible product but you can get literally the exact same  exercises on youtube for free. I wouldn’t recommend spending money on this unless you are in a  situation were you dont have  access to youtube


title: I don't like Trent Reznor, but I love this EP

text: Should I say anymore? I love this EP. It has an NIN vibe to it, but with a female touch :) I definitely recommend this to any fan of music. NIN fan, or not.


title: Very Nice!

text: It is the greatest CD to get ready for shabbos and for all year round to listen some nice relaxed music.


title: Maturity is Refreshing

text: The sympathy and intimacy are astonishing.  (And Parker and Kaucic had reportedly only met the day prior to this recording.)  They're obviously very focused and the pacing and range of expression is expansive, though consistently patient, methodical and thorough; a passionate botanists' field sketch.  I think Kaucic manages to interest Parker in more colours that most percussionists have.  He offers his beautiful palettes up so quickly that Parker seems almost entertained, except that when Kaucic moves, Parker is already there.  But what strikes me most is the level of maturity---the music is the work of humility and grace that could only be the result of 50-year careers in European free music; even as they were developed on completely separate paths.


title: You know why you want this CD

text:
If you're looking up Perfume CDs you know the band and you know this song.
And you know that you like the cover of this single.
Go ahead and buy it for that reason alone. I did. No shame.


title: Sarah Shook is the bomb

text: I'm really happy that I bumped into Sarah Shook's music.  She's a clever, songwriter with a quirky style and somehow this deep love for heartache music. And she's got a great little band.  Highly recommend this.

(Biological thriller) Ebola outbreaks start happening all over the USA, and Marisa Blumenthal of the CDC tries to get to the bottom of it, to her peril! This was very gripping, but the very smart protagonist missed a very obvious point over and over again, which was frustrating. And the last paragraph was really cheesy. But it was a pretty good ride.

Potentially offensive material: some strong language, violence

title: The best way to hear one of the best records ever

text: Simon's second greatest album. On vinyl. That says it all. And yeah -- vinyl does sound better than digital.


title: New Orleans in the 1950s

text: Seventeen-year-old Josie Moraine, daughter of a brothel prostitute, has grown up in the French Quarter in New Orleans. A chance meeting with a girl who attends Smith College awakens in her a dream that she, too, can matriculate there. Instead, she finds herself entangled in a murder investigation that threatens her plans and her loved ones.<br />Sepetys’ portrayal of the city that was, in the 1950s, the most crime-ridden in America, is excellent. The characters are diverse and memorable, the story line gripping. It’s such a cliche, but you just have to keep reading until the very end.

text: I had to have Killer Joe. If you were a teenager in the sixties you will love it, otherwise maybe not so much.


title: Faith Rising

text: This sounds like healing captured on a recording.  Beautiful arrangement of scripture and music.<br />We played this CD when my wife was hospitalized from a car accident and  in ICU.  Too make a long story short she is totally 100% healed walking, talking and active!  She later shared that this CD encouraged her and helped increase and strengthen her faith to believe yes I can be totally healed. I do not have to accept the negative diagnosis that has been given.  She is doing everything that the doctors told her she would not!

title: Not entranced by this trance

text: I bought this 2-CD set of psychedelic trance music to set the mood for my amorous adventures. As a trained classical composer with some background in MIDI music, I have more knowledge than most of how this stuff is put together. I think that the trance medium has a great deal more to offer but most of it still relies upon excessive use of reverb and pervasive cut-and-paste sequencer rhythms. The surface has only been scratched. Unfortunately this one is no exception. Judging from the rave reviews, I was hoping that this one would have more to offer.


title: Christmas Guitar Magic

text: If you like finger-style guitar BUY THIS ALBUM! Imagine two guitarists interweaving individually astounding finger-style melody and harmony lines together into pure joy (I'm not always sure where the third one is), and you are getting close to the ear tickling pleasure awaiting you in these tracks. This a wonderful album that brings virtuosity, reverence and joy to classic Christmas tunes. You will be really disappointed when Jan 1st rolls around and it is time to put away the Christmas music until next year.


A worthy listen and a nice recording. Here, Janacek comes off as a wilder Dvorak, with an similarly identifiable idiomatic Czech flavor to the music. Both pieces are interesting and keep the ear's attention. I expected nothing when I picked up the recording second-hand, but am very pleased now to own it.


title: Wonderful

text: I'm not really familiar with any of Haydn's quartets, although I do recognize melodies here and there on this album. Still, I know excellent playing when I hear it, and the engineers did a great job capturing it. Denon's early digital recordings have aged well, and while I certainly don't know enough Haydn to call these definitive, I don't imagine that it gets a WHOLE lot better than this (if it does, please point me in the right direction). The pieces are very enjoyable too. I wholeheartedly recommend this recording if you ever happen come across it.

title: beautiful songs sung by a beautiful voice

text: Actually I never realized how versatile Elvis was with his voice until I got this. I have truly enjoyed it because I really enjoy the old hymns.And obviously I have gained a new respect for Elvis and his ability.


title: Living at the speed of light

text: I can't express in words how much I identify with this song. I have been burned out and kept going so many times... the lyric "burning out, burning out faster, take your time and make it up after" cuts me to the core. I lived my life like that for so many years, and my husband was "my piece of heaven" that kept me going through it all. There were many times that "something had to give" and we made time for each other, or whatever else was needed. With that being said, even if you haven't been living at the speed of light, this song has a beautiful and laid-back sound that you will appreciate.


title: I like run-on sentences. And fragments. Hail, Satan!

text: Hellogoodbye is a favorite Satanic band of mine. There are three songs on this CD that are played on the Satanic internet radio stations and there is a bonus CD with the package but I haven't listened to it much, and it has a lot of new bands I don't recognize yet as Satanic artists still The Zombies Aliens Vampires Dinosaurs CD has one song I listen to the most and I haven't really listened to the rest of the CD much but I enjoy having all that extra music to spare and I like run-on sentences.


title: Five Stars

text: Album in great condition...my picture's on the back! Now to frame it...thank you!


title: The original "Singles" mix like you heard on the radio in the day!

text: Richard Carpenter did a number of different mixes of their songs as they were released on albums or singles, etc. All good mixes, but some were a bit different. These are the original mixes that played on the radio back when, and when listening to this, it really brings them back to me like in the day. I haven't done A-B comparisons of these with say a version of the same song on as released on an album, but it's nice hearing these original versions. Great little book is included with them. 3 CD's are included, with both the A and B sides of ALL the original 45 RPM singles released in the US from 1969-1989, so you also get  the "B-sides" that might not have gotten on the radio much or at all. The little book describes each song and other Carpenter's history.  I like this!


title: Buy it! Its worth it!!

text: With every album exo and sm out does itself. The pics are beautiful. Every song is worth repeating. There arenonly 3 bands that have ever caught my eye and makes me wantto buy every album, and exo is one of them.


title: Love it!

text: Great background music.


title: Thanks Melvin James

text: He made a remarkable passage in the rock world, and in France we have never forgotten this "only 1987" musician from Minneapolis. I don't know what became of Melvin, otherwise I would say to him that in 2016, we always listen to his "Passenger". Frank, from Orleans.

title: Alexandra Burke

text: When I first heard Alexandra Burke on BBC Radio 1, I fell in love with her music, her voice and the power she projected when I heard her sing was more amazing than I can truly describe.  I told others and they said the same thing when first they heard her powerful voice.  She is truly an amazing talent and I truly hope you will try her music for yourself, and discover how her voice can cause great emotion withing and move the body whole.....  Lee


The sound quality was disappointing, I have other Bill Haley CDs that sound much much better.

title: Brilliant

text:
John Petrucci has created an amazing work here. Jaws of Life really displays his prowess and greatness. Glaskow Kiss is extremely musical and well composed/performed - VERY memorable. The third song is my favorite on the CD - extremely excellent. It reminds me of Raspberry Jam Delta V by Joe Satrianni. In fact, much of the music here seems to be influenced by Joe in some way (which to me is a good thing).

Regardless, this is an excellent piece of work - I highly recommend it!!!

text: I've loved this album since I was 6 years old. Finally got to get another copy after over 2 decades. Beautiful music. Give it a try.


title: Joe Cocker???  Is that you in there?

text:
I got this CD after seeing him on "The voice" the germany version.  His version of whiter shade of pale was amazing, even better when the audience asked him to sing it again.  This album has his winning song from the competition and a few more that you will recongnize but many are new, at least to me, and they grow on me each time I listen to them.  I am not as crazy about the duets songs.

As pointed out, his style of music is not the mainstream rap or pop.  I enjoy his folk like sound and range of songs.  Honestly, I think Joe Cocker's spirit might have joined with his because he sings so much like him.

Just orderd his other albums.

title: The BEST baby music!

text: The baby CD you can buy. My neighbor gave me this as a gift when I had my 1st son. It was a cassette tape & my son loved it. 'Bout the only thing that would get him to sleep. My 2nd son also love it. We even took it with us when we would go on vacation. Years later when I was roaming through CD's at Half Price Books, I found the CD version. I bought 2 of the CD's for my boys when they have kids. This one I bought for a friend who was having her 1st baby. She loved it & so did her husband because their baby would go straight to sleep. Makes a terrific shower gift!


title: Great music at a Great price!

text: Super wind band. Good interpretation of the music. The instrumentalist are all superior. I would recommend this recording to any serious wind band lover.


title: Rousing stuff...

text: This west coast bar band deserves a national audience.  This album is one of the best Irish collections that I have seen, with rousing renditions of Tipperary and The Wearing Of The Green being my favorites.  I happened to run accross an ad while searching the net, and ordered a couple of their disks.  Both are real howlers; pick up a copy if you can.  I would love to see this bunch in concert; I hope that they make it to the Tampa area someday.

And all of the playing here, from the trios to the big bands, is absolutely tops. Grab this one while you can!


title: All time Great

text: One of my all time favorites.


title: It's a wonderful album.

text: Remembering the memories of years gone by. Love the music.


title: A must

text: This is brilliance stripped down to the essential. The virtuosity of Helmut Deutsch and the otherworldly voice of Jonas Kaufmann combine to enrich the listener. Do go to lieder.net and read the translations, as the poetry is gorgeous. "Die Nacht" is perfection.


title: Chicagos

text: Oldies but still the best


title: It works

text: Worth my ten bux and 5 minutes


title: No, just...no.

text: Don't buy this. Scam. Not in any way an official release or even a reasonable bootleg. This recording is from 2005, when Jeff Scott Soto was lead singer, yet they have Arnel Pineda on cover, who joined in 2007. Um...yeah.


title: Cover and CD damaged

text: There cover was cut and the CD was therefore also cut since it was directly behind the cover.


title: CD WARPED!! TWICE!

text: I ordered this album and the first time I received it, the CD was warped. I exchanged for a new one and once again the CD was warped and can't be played. I'm keeping this latest one because I really like the photo cards I received,  but I am really unhappy with the condition of the packages. I know that's not the fault of GOT7 though and the reason I give 3 stars rather than one is because I'm sure the album is great. If only I could listen to it...

text: What a phenomenal orchestra!


title: Unless you are an UVER collector, skip it and go straight to the next album.

text:
This is UVERworld's 26th single.  Both of these songs are included on the 8th album cd.

Track list:
1. Nanokame no Ketsui 1.7 (Determination / Resolution of 7th Day)
2. Bessekai  (Another World) instrumental
3. Nanokame no Ketsui  3.7, instruental vers.
4. Nanokame no Ketsui - original iPhone memo

Bonus DVD:
Nanokame no Ketsui video
LIMITLESS – montage of over 20 live performances
Core ability 3  (documentary piece)

This single was rushed out two weeks before the release of the 8th album, so there is not the usual complement of 3-4 songs. One can only assume that they didn't want to give away too many other songs from the album. The band seems very emotional about Nanokame no Ketsui; the reason is that while taking a nap in the studio sessions for Nano Second, Takuya dreamed the chorus, woke up and quickly committed it to his iPhone so he would remember it. This iPhone memo is the fourth track on this single.  (If you're wondering about the frog, apparently the people in his dream who were singing the chorus were wearing shirts that had this frog on them.)

Don't get me wrong, it's a very good song, but unless you are a serious collector of UVERworld, there is no need to buy this single as both Nanokame and Bessekai are on the 8th album, which is 0 (Zero) Choir.

The instrumental version of Nanokame is actually quite good; I like it at least as much as the song itself.  This single is the only place you'll find it.

Nanokame no Ketsui is an emotive, power-ballad type of tune with lyrics along the line of "We're all going to die someday, so make your choices count" type of thing.

Bessekai (Another World) is an instrumental.  Normally I love the instrumentals that UVERworld come up with, but this one falls a little flat for me.  It improves slightly with repeat listenings, but it comes across as a bit of a jumble and collision of sounds.  The big event preceeding this single was that Seika, the backup musician who plays sax for them, became a full member of the band. As a member of the previous incarnation of the band (prior to UVERworld forming), this was an emotional move for them. It remains to be seen whether it was a good business move.  For now, they are very big on pushing him forward, so Another World has a lot of brass in it.  The problem is that he is not nearly at the same level of talent as the others, and it speaks volumes that studio musicians had to be brought in to bolster up the brass on this song.

There is also a regular edition of this single, which does not have the bonus DVD.


title: UVERworld can still rock the house!

text:
This is UVERworld's 25th single.

For anyone who was worried that UVERworld was losing their ability to rock, you can forget it. These three songs will stand up to any of the older material without shame.

The tracks are:
1. nano second
2. "LIFE"
3. DEJA VU

OK. Let's get the one bad element out in the open - the harmonica used in nano second. I have yet to talk to any UVERfan who didn't hate it on first hearing...and second...and third. Normally when the intros to songs are pared away for the cd albums, I could scream...but in this case I'm hoping for it. The other profoundly annoying element is the rapper yelling the first line of the refrain at the top of his lungs. It takes some getting used to.

But...you DO get used to it. What's more, you end up LIKING it after about 25 plays, and then loving it, and by then you wonder what on earth ever bothered you about it in the first place. It is also a great vehicle in a live performance for getting the audience involved.

nano second was written by Takuya after watching a friend's boxing match on tv (hence the "Keep your head up"). It is a straight-ahead, driving song with some absolutely exquisite pauses for harmony and some fine guitar moments. "LIFE" has got some quirky electronic moments (particularly the ending) and some brilliant drumming, and DEJA VU has got a nice off-kilter rhythm and a kind of sadness to it that I really like.

What these three songs have in common are some absolutely fantastic, complex bits of drumming, guitar work both relentless and very fine, and some incredibly nice vocal harmonies. The surprising thing is that these three songs are also fairly heavy on programming, but it's used judiciously and it doesn't clutter or interfere.

All in all, this single is definitely up to par. I did give it a 4-star rating, however, because as good as these songs are, in my opinion they still fall short of the all-out excellence of the FFL/Wizard club single. But it is purely a matter of taste, and you might like these songs better.

The LE version comes with a DVD featuring these tracks:

1. Fight For Liberty music video, version 1, which was live. This is not included on the act.2 DVD collection.
2. 2013 Summer Activity collage - i.e., a video montage of what UVERworld was up to.


title: Three outstanding songs

text:
This is UVERworld's 24th single, and it's a Double-A single.  It was released in three editions; LE (limited edition), RE (regular) and Special anime cover.

Tracks:
1. Fight For Liberty
2. Wizard CLUB
3. a LOVELY tone

Fight For Liberty is the theme for the new series Space Battleship Yamato 2199.  It's a great, driving song ideal for an action-packed anime series, but stands completely on its own if you have no clue what the series is about. Pretty straightforward mover with a good hook.

Wizard CLUB is the theme for TV Tokyo's "Kaikin! Bakuro naito".  The intro to this song knocks you over the head; at first it seems that Shintarou-san has gone berserk on the drums.  The PV reveals that with the exception of Takuya-san, everyone has a different little drum arrangement and all are playing together. The setup was designed by Shintarou.  And as if that wasn't enough, the opening guitar chords are played by Takuya.  It is a fantastic, catchy song that will stick in your head.  I like it better than FFL.

a LOVELY TONE is, however, my absolute favorite of the three.  I'm not one to get hung up on ballads, but this one is exquisitely rendered.  It was apparently written by Takuya for a long-time friend of theirs who surprised everyone with the news that he was getting married (nobody knew he was even dating).  It is mainly an acoustic number and the instrumental portion is quite subdued, just perfect.  Alternating with that is a background four-part harmony of Takuya's, all behind a very pleasing melody.

The band's current mantra for composing is "it must be new" and they have certainly managed to do it once again.  All in all, one of their strongest offerings.

The LE version of this includes a DVD with two tracks. The first is a multi-angle live version of "Don't Think.Feel".  This video setup is a little annoying. It defaults to one angle and starts playing it immediately, so if you want to watch one of the other angles (there are 4), you're always going to miss the first few seconds. The different angles focus on the band members - so you've got Takuya-cam, Shintarou-cam, etc.
The second track is a live performance of 23Words.


title: Good song; more foolishness from Nobuto.

text:
REVERSI is UVERworld's 23rd single.
RE Regular Edition and LE Limited Edition featuring bonus DVD.
Also a Limited Edition ao no Exorcist cover.

Tracklist:

1. REVERSI
2. THEORY to no ketsubetsu no kenkyuu +81 (Investigate/break with theory +81)
3. ace of ace [LIVE at Yokohama Arena 2012.07.08] (music track)
4. CORE PRIDE [LIVE at ZEPP TOKYO 2011.07.27] (music track)

DVD:
1. 20 minute interview with the band discussing THE ONE album, which was already out when REVERSI single was released.
2. BARBELL from the Live at Yokohama arena DVD (released January 2013)

REVERSI is a great anime song - crafted as credit music for the film version of ao no Exorcist.  It blends electronics with good rhythm and guitar work. The song is on THE ONE album.

THEORY...+81.  Ah. Hm. Where to start.  Well, let's go back to Cyoudaisaku +81 from the "No.1" single, where Nobuto-san dreams of a solo career and an enthusiastic reception on his first tour of Korea.  Like Cyoudaisaku, THEORY has a great little piece of music and a considerably longer little drama of - from what I can gather - the beginnings of UVERworld huddled around a microphone in an alley trying to record their demo to give to Sony.  It's quite comical and you either love this guy or you don't.

The other two tracks are simply music tracks of songs from the live DVD. I consider this to be a kind of a cop-out, but REVERSI's single was in the unique position of coming out AFTER the album CD that the song it appears on, so they are clearly trying to drum up some excitement for the Yokohama DVD. (Which, by the way, is great.)

The interview on the DVD is a really good one for die-hard UVERworld fans who may understand some Japanese or who just like looking at the pictures.


title: Powerful stuff.

text:
THE OVER is UVERworld's 22nd single.
RE Regular Edition and LE Limited Edition with bonus DVD.
This amazon page features the LE.

Tracklist:

1. THE OVER  (Theme for the Kuro no Onna Kyoshi tv show)
2. THE SONG
3. massive

DVD contents:
1. Yasashisa no Shizuku (from Zepp DiverCity TOKYO 12.04.29)
2. Barbell ~Koutei no Atarashii Fuku [Music Video]
3. THE SONG Kokuchi Trailer
4. Special Spot

THE OVER is two things: an exquisitely written poignant love song (have tissues handy if you're going to watch the PV), and an across-the-board good piece of music. I recently sat down to list which songs on the latest album (The ONE) featured each musician to advantage, and THE OVER came up in every single category including vocal. It is very satisfying.

THE SONG is - forgive me UVERworld - in danger of sounding a little recycled, melody-wise and topic-wise. Hey, it happens. It is essentially very similar in topic to Mondo Piece, and I think Mondo Piece did it better.  But it doesn't offend the ear, either.

"massive" is one of the best instrumentals that Akira-san has come up with. It has a different sound to it due to the use of very high-toned drum heads throughout, almost like bongos but not, and some very nice guitar and bass work.  It's an absolute crying shame that this track didn't make it onto THE ONE album cd, but never fear, it's an absolute must-see live and is featured in the Yokohama Live DVD (Jan 2013 release).

THE OVER is on the 7th UVERworld album. If UVERsingles are not in your budget, do go out of your way to try and get a copy of "massive".

The DVD is always a nice little thing to have. This one has one good live performance, a unique PV featuring animation by an American silhouette artist, and a little bit of promotion for the tv show for which THE OVER was written.

UVERworld's 20th Single - special edition version with DVD

**at the time of posting this review, amazon has the CD title incorrectly listed as "Baby Bongo". I'm hoping it will be fixed soon.**

Tracks:
1. Baby Born & Go
2. Kinjito
3. UVERbattle Royale #2 (not to be confused with the first one from the Core Pride single)

DVD:  NOTE - for this and all UVERworld DVD's, you need a region-free player.
Live from Zepp Tokyo July 2011
1. Mondo Piece
2. Core Pride
3rd track is the ubiquitous "special movie" - in this case, a montage of stage shots, studio shots, photo shoots, etc. set to Kinjito as background music.

If your preferred UVERmode is the headbanging energy of "Burst", "Nitro" and "Groovy Groovy Groovy", it's a toss-up as to whether you'll like these two new songs. BB&G and Kinjito have the tight, polished studio sound of "Isseki o Toujiru Tokyo Midnight Sun" from Life 6 Sense.

BB&G moves well and has attitude. I'm slightly more fond of Kinjito simply because I love the harmonies in it, and it begins with a SWEET brief intro where Akira and Katsuya play overlapping harmony with their usual flawless interaction. Both songs once again feature guest vocals by Asami, and Seiko's saxophone. While my own preference is not to have intruding guest vocals from outside the group, I have to say that Asami's voice blends nicely with Takuya's and it has a nice mellow quality. If they have to have guest vocals, I'd prefer that they consistently use the same people rather than have a revolving door of voices.

I'll sidetrack for one second to mention that I wish the band would quit relying on filming live takes at Avaco Studio for their PV's...the UVERnatives are getting restless.

UVERBattle Royale #2 is the reason I can't give this CD single 5 stars. This track is a variation on the first UVERBattle Royale. Unfortunately, this one doesn't work nearly as well as the original, and in my opinion it's a bit of a cop-out to include it as a track since it is just basically Takuya and Akira horsing around in the studio splicing and recycling bits of old UVERsongs. The first UVERBattle worked because all of the songs were in the same key and were of similar tempo, and the way they were spliced together was pretty creative and catchy. The current incarnation jumps all over the place with key changes and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why they used the samples that they did. It's fun to listen to once as a brain teaser, trying to identify all of the parts, but I got tired of it after that.

All in all, BB&G and Kinjito are well worth listening to and in my opinion are strong offerings. I'm hoping that amazon will post the "7th Trigger" single soon because it's fabulous.


title: Fantastic offering from UVERworld

text:
UVERworld's 21st single

Tracks:
1. 7th Trigger
2. BAABERU(barbell)-Kotei no atarashii fuku  (the Emperor's New Clothes - yes, like the children's story)
3. AWAYOKUBA-Kiru

I can't push 7th Trigger - the song - hard enough. It is absolutely the most adrenaline-producing, addictive song they have ever come up with. It moves at a fast, hard clip and has a chorus (and yes, a little whistle phrase) that you simply cannot get out of your head no matter what. When they started performing this song live recently (late 2012/early 2013) the audience just went berserk. Go and find a version online to sample and you'll see what I mean.

BARBELL and I have a love/shake the head relationship. On the one hand, it features some really manic drum and guitar work and it's just plain fun to listen to. Very headbangy. On the other hand, it's a purely nonsensical song that came from too many fans misreading the kana for "BARREL" on the "LAST" album. Takuya-san finally decided to write a song with a barbell for a theme and what he came up with is a twist on - yes, the children's story of the Emperor's New Clothes. Except in this version, the Emperor is fully aware that he's naked, and has been hitting the gym to give everyone something to stare at.

AWAYOKUBA is actually a fast-moving but quite powerful love song. It has an exquisite little break in the middle featuring the string section, and the rest of it has Seika-san's saxophone running through it. He's not the best on the planet, but he seems able to fill in where they need him to.

All three of these songs are on THE ONE album cd, so if keeping up with UVERsingles is not in your budget, you have another option. Note that BARBELL has an additional drum track (which I actually like better) and AWAYOKUBA has an intro added.

The deluxe version of 7th Trigger includes the usual short DVD offering. This one features flawless performances of "Itsuka Kanarazu Shinu Koto Wo Wasureru Na" and "Shousa Okubyoumono", both from the Life 6 Sense tour last summer. There is also an UVER retrospective that has a really great blend of then-and-now footage in it, starting with an ancient performance of Chance! (the text says 2000) and then cuts to the sellout at Tokyo Dome - a stunning and impressive contrast.  The cover shot of this version of the CD had UVERfans (and apparently UVERstaff) in a panic as soon as it was posted; the band is featured on the roof of a 26-story building and Takuya decided he wanted a better vantage point - he is sitting on the outer roof railing of the building.

I definitely recommend investigating these three songs.

title: Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66 Fans, You Can't Miss This CD!!!

text: Back in 1986 a local Radio Station played a track from this L.A. Transit CD, and I remembered the bands name until finally I came across this 10-track "Early CD".  The music here does not purport to be anything other than an updated visit to the sound and vision of Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66, and it does it very well covering Mendes Classic's "Mas Que Nada", "Wave", "Pretty World", "Zazueira", "Agua De Beber", "How Insensitive", "Tristeza" and more. The CD Features Vocals by Mendes alumni Grachina Leporace (his wife) & Carol Rogers, along with Oscar Castro Neves, Tom Scott, Abe Laboriel, Paulhino De Costa, Alex Acuna, and vocals & keyboards by Yutaka Yokokura. Some of you may remember Yutaka from his GRP Records releases in the 90's and he adds his special touch throughout the CD. I must confess I am a huge Sergio Mendes fan, and I wish he was doing more cd's like this one these days using todays top writers, and staying away from hip-hop production. Additionally A & M Records must have session out-takes from his years at the label, C'Mon A & M how about a comprehensive Box set before I die? Although this L.A. Transit CD is not that rare (as evidenced by the many sellers who list it here and in ebay), search for it at a reasonable price as they fluctuate alot from seller to seller. Also availible as MP3 at iTunes. Anyways, if you are fan of Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66 pick this cd up, You Won't Regret It!

title: My First TWICE Album

text: I decided to get this album since it’s the first mini album I ever fully listened to from the group a few years ago. I was pleasantly surprised with how well kept the seller kept the album despite it being a few years old. The only knock is that the top left corner was slightly bent due to the way it was sealed and packaged. However, this didn’t effect the pictures so overall not a deal breaker and I’d recommend buying albums from this seller.

text: They really should not have made this cd.  It is so sorry to hear Brian trying to sing.  But, it does show how badly he was doing at this time of his life.


title: A Live Recording by a Powerful Violinist

text:
Let me start off by saying that I love this recording.  Ms. Augustyn is a young violinist from Poland who got her degrees from Juilliard and Stonybrook, and not a violinist to be taken lightly. Behind the glamorous cover art there is a force to be reckoned with.

As an example, I have heard many performances of the Sarasate "Zigeunerweisen" that sound like the violinist was passing it off as a mindless bit of fluff. Not here!!!!  Ms. Augustyn brings out rhythms and voicing that forces a listener to take the work very seriously and listen to it as if they are hearing it for the first time.  The same is true for the Kreisler "Liebersleid (Love's Sorrow)".

Several of selections on the recording are transcriptions of works by Chopin (the Nocturne in C-sharp minor and the Mazurka in A minor) and Bartok (Roumanian Folk Dances). She also plays the powerful "Wieniawski "Fantasie brilliant on Themes from Gounod's opera Faust" and the wonderful "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso" by Camille Saint-Saens

While this recording, which was recorded live at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music in New York City, is called The Romantic Violin Recital it is romantic with a very solid classical underpinning. In the end, her performance of "Thais Meditation" by Massenet will leave wanting more.

Ms. Augustyn's name is not well known, which is a shame. She should be a well-known phenomena. Her playing is strongly accented by the wonder piano accompaniment of Evan Solomon.


title: Love KPIG

text: Great album with a collection of eclectic songs that go great together.


title: Great music

text: Now this is real rnb no filters whatsoever the originals cds plus edited versions it would be complete if motown cds were included this is the most inexpensive way to find stacy lattisaw cds but no art work it's in card broad sleeves with original front and back like vinyl it's worth the price


title: Must have

title: The 2 CD of Frank is Essential Amy

text: My favorite Amy Winehouse collection - some of her most jazz-based and lyrical music before the lowlife boyfriend, drugs and alcohol forever extinguished her bright burning flame. Be sure to seek out the 2 cd set. The bonus 2nd cd includes numerous tracks that cannot be found elsewhere. Listening to Someone To Watch Over Me very nearly channels Ella Fitzgerald. Yes, B2B ought be part of any Amy collection, but it has a different tone and motif on several levels, knowing she was spiraling lower. However, Frank is only up, energetic, the future wide open in front of her, which can be heard in her voice and choice of songs. This is how many want to remember her. Perhaps, even, how she would want to be remembered.


title: Bernard Herrmann's Overlooked TV Score Finally on CD

text: Bernard Herrmann is a master when it comes to atmospheric movie and TV music. I was happy to find this CD containing music from "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour." I love listening to it. Even without the images the music was intended to accompany, the score is outstanding. These selections don't rank with Herrmann's music from "Vertigo," "North By Northwest," or "Psycho," but they will remind you of his eerie and suspenseful background tracks for the original "Twilight Zone."  For Herrmann fans, this 2-disc CD is a welcome addition.


title: Great!

text: I bought this cd for my dad. He loves Al Green's gospel music. I'm sure he's loving it. I do recommend, and will buy again.

text: I found the artist by accident while listening to iHeart Smooth Jazz channel, and her song "Sun's Out", and then on Amazon I sampled her other music and found I liked this entire CD of popular songs by other artists all done on a Piano. I can listen to this all day.


title: One of my Favorite Musicals of All Time

text:
This is one of my all time favorite musicals.  Our church has performed it over the years and I've greatly enjoyed watching and listening to my family and friends sing these lovely songs.  The singers on this disc are specifically chosen for their voice ranges for the individual songs and are among the "best of the best."  Although the musical is somewhat dated, when I listen to this music, I feel the freshness of the anointing of God as though it was written last week.

Obviously, the talent in the worldwide church is not as known as the talent among secular musicians unless they cross over and perform both.  Most of the singers on this CD perform mostly to Christian audiences in churches and other venues that appeal to church folks, so many people have never had the opportunity to hear them perform. They are all amazing.


title: Glorious is "Glorious"

text:
Paul Baloche's prominence on the worship scene apparently began to be felt in 1992. He's a recognized gifted songwriter and worship leader among his contemporaries within the praise and worship genre, with his songs being recorded by various well known artists.

He has also been instrumental in providing visual instructional resources for church worship teams. In 1995, he released The Worship Guitar Series, a set of three videos. Between 2002 and 2006, he released The Modern Worship Series, a set of eight instructional DVDs focused on helping church worship teams increase their skill and confidence. In 2005, he released the book God Songs, a practical resource for worship songwriters, currently in its 8th printing.

When Baloche first came to my attention about one year ago, I couldn't believe I hadn't previously been aware of his authorship of some of my music selections.  But, for several years, I had not been as attentive to current happenings within the industry.  I had certainly heard his music - I just wasn't aware of the person who had written it.

This CD has one of my favorite worship songs on it.  I can listen to "Glorious" nonstop for hours.  I know - crazy huh?  But, that's how I roll.  I have his songs starred on Spotify and I listen as I work.  Yes, I do.

1. Glorious
2. You Have Saved Us
3. Just to Be With You
4. Wonderful God
5. How Great is the Love
6. To the Cross
7. Today is the Day
8. Shaken
9. We Will Hold On
10. Almighty
11. A New Hallelujah


title: I thought it would be read by the author

text: I had hoped that this CD was read by the amazing, talented, dynamic author, Margie Palatini. Instead it is read by some boring man. It did not keep my attention or the attention of the child it was intended for.


title: Five Stars

text: Good listening


title: Pop loved it - glad it was on cd

text: New truck didn't have cassette, thought he would never hear it again.  Thanks for making pop happy!  Thank for being  there.


title: Elvis Was So Spiritual!

text: It was all that I expected it to be. I'm glad to have this classic Elvis album.  Elvis is just as romantic with God as he is singing to a lady. "In the Ghetto" was very thought-proviking and sad!  I liked best "Crying in the Chapel,"  "Amazing Grace" and other "romantic" ones better than the rockin' ones like Joshua Fit the Battle of Jerico; although they are all well done.  There's a history of the "Negro Spiritual" genre in songs like "I'm Gonna Walk Dem Golden Stairs" that I personally wouldn't have if it wasn't for this album, and that reminds us that maybe we are  getting "more spiritually mature" these days!

title: Love this CD!!!

text: The Stars vinyl album was the soundtrack of my Senior year in high school. I loved this album and was quite bummed when they didn't issue it in CD form. Fast-forward to this year, and I saw this collection available. Not only is Stars fabulous (just like I remember), but I'd Rather Believe in You was one of my faves also, and I was reminded how much I loved THAT album when I heard the songs again. Cherished is good, but I don't remember it back in the day, so I didn't have the vinyl. It's worth the purchase for any Cher fan!

title: Terrific album. Great service.

text: One of Van’s best post -70s albums. Effectively moody arrangements and some great songs including the amazing ‘In The  Days Before Rock an Roll.’ Highly recommended.<br />This was expensive, but the seller got it to me quickly and in great shape.


title: It's great!

text: Excellent. It was worth the wait!. Love it! MOTH INTO FLAME :)


title: The best

text: If you are fed up with the mumblings of Gould as he plays, and even if you like an offbeat approach such as with Dinnerstein, get this if you want what Bach probably had in mind when he wrote this piece (while acknowledging that it was not written for the piano, of course).  I had never heard of Ishizaka, but this rendition sounds perfect to me.  I am sure Bach would have been proud.  Maybe some musicologists can find some fault somewhere, but as far as I am concerned, this is the new reference for this piece.  As for Gould, his albums are now hanging from my back porch and serve as wind chimes.  Heresy?  Listen to this and come to your own decision.  Ishizaka is gentle where she needs to be and can take off in overdrive when the music demands it.  She makes the piece come alive.  And for those with high-end equipment and are particularly fussy about such things, the recording is also perfection.  I am looking forward to more from the group involved with this recording.

title: It takes you back to a very happy time in my life

text: Love Love Love this , that all I can say I listen to them all the time


title: 4 more would have made it better. There is an autographed ( by both) replica ...

text: Mark Lindsay (of Paul Revere and the Raiders) and Susan Cowsill (of the Cowsills) are paired perfectly on this CD. The songs are from the 60s' and there is one song written by Mark. The highlights of this CD are "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" (the first time I've heard it sung by a man and woman), and Bobby Darin's "Dream Lover". The only complaint I have is that there are only 6 songs; 4 more would have made it better. There is an autographed ( by both) replica of the album cover as well and the back cover is initialed by ML, also. If you are a Mark Lindsay fan, you will love this.


title: excellent concert

text: The sound quality is excellent throughout this cd.Justin was touring after the release of "The View From The Hill". There are some songs from his solo albums,some Moody Blues essentials,and some Moodies songs that haven't been done often in concert,such as Watching And Waiting.An excellent concert for Moody Blues and Justin fans.


title: Five Stars

text: everything.


title: For Swervedriver completists only

text: I'm a pretty big Swervedriver fan and have managed to accumulate most of their semi-obscure singles. Sadly I must say this is one of the least interesting. They have done far better classic rock covers (e.g., "Jesus" by The Velvet Underground) and better Who covers ("In the City"). Their version of "Magic Bus" is a little too faithful to the original and doesn't feel different enough to justify itself. The full-length version at least has a little jamming at the end that perks up the ear, while the edited track is pretty much a dud. The songs by Happy Campers strike me as the sort of instrumental Muzak one might have heard in a hip restaurant or department store 10 years ago.

title: Helen doing late 80's soft rock

text: "Vagabond" is Helen Schneider delving into late 80's synth-laced soft-rock, at certain points reminiscent of Gloria Estefan's solo work of that time. Helen is in great form here, though she has less of her usual edge so it's a much smoother performance. The production is rather lackluster, but the actual material chosen is nice. A must have for any Helen fan.

title: Lovely music!

text: I bought this CD to replace an original that I lost somewhere years ago. I love this music; it's very relaxing, and I play it at night while I read in my living room.


title: Surprisingly catchy, female-lead, sex-fueled power rock/grunge from Boston, circa early 90's

text: Plaster of Paris Texas (or POPT) was a Boston rock trio from the early 90s, reminiscent of Hole but with less angst and more sex-fueled power rock. Self-published album. When I first picked up this CD I wasn't a fan and stuck it in a box, but after pulling it out and giving it another listen it really started to grow on me. The best track is Brown, a song that showcases just how much ass female lead Jhen Kobran could kick.

text: The performances are exellent and well recorded.  However, unlike most choral recordings, there isn't much of the hall ambience you get from a more resonant venue.

title: El Musico Bonito

text: Truly outstanding. Where else can you hear "La Llorona" and a Brandenburg Concerto on the same disc? The musicians are men and women of many talents, their choice of selections interesting, varied, and well-performed. "This Land is Your Land" in Spanish is to the point and moving to hear. I haven't taken it off my CD player since I got it. Vivas Sones!

title: Great Beatles history and nostalgia

text:
I loved this CD.  The sound is terrific considering how long ago it was recorded.  As a huge Beatles fan, its amazing to listen to recordings from before they were famous.  It is like going through a time machine.  You can hear the raw talent that would eventually take the world by storm.

Its interesting that only one song has John Lennon singing the lead.  The rest are all Paul McCartney or George Harrison.  You can still recognize their voices.

Their later albums didn't include very much of George Harrison, even though he may be the one that is most remembered in future generations.  His later recordings when he was solo, are some of the most haunting beautiful songs ever written. But he is very prominent in this CD.

This is a great CD.  Any Beatles fan has to have this in their collection.


title: Redux 002:  Short and Sweet

text: A strong EP in the Kaskade Redux trilogy.  Not as popular or creative as the Redux 001, or as long and innovative as Redux 003, but overall it is a good release that bridges both other albums.


title: Pretty Bland

text: The lack of strong songs and minimal use of Stonebridge's beats made this release really dull. I'm not surprised on how unpopular it was on the dance charts. Skip this and try Stonebridge's full albums which feature Therese.


title: Just as expected!

text: Seems like anything Juan Carlos Lozano makes is pure ear candy. This album sounds somewhat different to his past albums with the band Morbo, but he still manages to create beautiful soothing sounds and catchy hooks. The tempo of the songs is also slower and the lyrics more personal, never intending to possibly land any hits on the charts and therefore the production is noticeably crafted with care. Because he will always be linked to the band that brought him to the spotlight, Moenia, it is fair to compare this production with his fellow former band member Alfonso Pichardo, whose solo release went unnoticed but it was due to being hardly an effort or anything novel. That isn't the case with "Nada Haces Por Mi." Repeat listens will be required but simply because it is very enjoyable album.


title: Sia, marry me?

text: I discovered Sia very late, but I am glad I did her voice is drenched with emotion. Suffice it to say this CD  is on heavy rotation.


title: Nostalgia from RD Music

text: This has been a wonderful replacement for my damaged disc. These melodies carry me back to years ago when I listened to family favorite melodies on the then very old grammaphone in our parlor. RD has gathered a fun list for us to enjoy.

title: I guess I didn't really understand what was "up" here?

text:
I've had other "Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble..." releases,....so I expected actual classic psych/prog rarities mixed into a long suite of sound....like the "Antipodean..." set from a few years ago,....but that's not what you get here.

This CD looks to be another of their mixes of lost gems in the progressive and psychedelic music field , but here you get a rambling remix of their album with Peter Hammill on vocals.  The part that throws me off is it doesn't go very many places that are interesting.  That and that Peter's vocals are limited to just a few lines from the other album,.....it is trippy but just seems a lot more "lost"  than other mixes they've done.

With time I may like it more,....but for now I am a bit let-down that this isn't a bit more "meat-y" and just trips-out laying there in a heap.

 I really think the problem is that this time the band has assumed that they made an instant classic(with their "We Persuade Ourselves We are Immortal" CD) ...where I feel that they took an old idea that music "dealers" had pushed for years,...the idea that a new Progressive Rock album sounds just like any random two of your favorite bands, this time Pink  Floyd and VDGG, and made it real using some pretty cliched elements of Floyd.  Now stretch that to a longer re-mix...and it's a bit weak.  The other album ...."We Persuade..." is the one to get.


title: I can say "official" ....OK?

text:
I was just on another web-site that said this was "unofficial"....well, I bought mine at a Guided By Voices concert at their own MERCH table....so I can say this IS official!  OK?

It may be a bit lo-fi but it's one of the most fun live albums by GBV.  It must have been one heck of a party....and it sounds cool. If you can deal with the "Lo-Fi" on their early LPs ....then you can deal with this.


title: The SHOCK of where it began!!!

text:
Others here are saying "badly recorded" and "a collection of gibberish"....imagine this audience witnessing the weird birth of minimalist music when no synths or much electronics were available in 1970!  I feel we are lucky to even be able to hear this band's ragged beginnings (and I say that with respect for their early sounds).

This is a wild early recording with Von Himmel Hock channeling the war sounds of fighter planes and bombings,...and then a selection of instrumental minimalism made with organ and drums , flute and lots of reverb and overdriven sounds!  This is the band when they were influenced by the early electronics experimenters ....yes, "bloops and bleeps" were their influences....just as later Kraftwerk were influences on many others who had never heard those other "men in lab jackets" playing with tape and frequency generators....this was their formative years,before synthesizers made it much easier to manipulate the sounds of instruments and voice.

Listen the right way and it's pretty exciting to be able to actually hear where Kraftwerk came from themselves....the afore mentioned "badly recorded" comment is in slight view, only because the sound man here was obviously stunned by the band's sound and did not know who to mix as "lead" instrument!!  It is all audible ....although at times a little unbalanced(even though I think it's still very listenable as a document of a rare show).

Crazy times , a new world in the making....hear it right here!!  No other document exists .....make your choice.  I'm happy to hear this....I can imagine the shock of the audience listening for the first time.


title: Really great for true fans!

text:
Here you get three eras of Kinks live!  That's the best news.

Now I started with disc two in listening....and I thought that the sound could be better....but I'd read of these first tour back after the Kinks-ban shows...and yes, they are drunk ,but pull off an entertaining set in the end.  It's a ramshackled set,...but comes off charming in a way.  That's where the "true fans" will have to deal with the "lesser sound" and hear a gig rarely heard.

NOW THE BEST news is that disc #1  is a set of very clear and rough and rockin' classics that ANY Kinks fan will LOVE from BBC sessions!!! They seem a bit punchier than the official BBC live set?

THEN....if that weren't enough for the price you get a great jacked-up punk-y set from Japan on disc #3! With an improvised song sung just for Japan added as a bonus ...this set blazes from start to finish,from the 1982 tour (not well documented either otherwise also).

So, if you LOVE the Kinks here is a great set with at least two discs in great sound....and one for completists with OK sound (with the band goofing off a bit!).

A great deal if you can score it while it's under $20!  KINKS fans buy it NOW!


title: This is a review of the album...not this specific CD....BUT....

text: Club Ninja was the worst BOC album....the band was almost phoning it in here. There are one or two songs that are like the older material the band released....but many songs here are about karate fighting and other "off the wall" things that most BOC fans will be shocked with. NOT a very good release....the lowest in the whole Blue Oyster Cult catalog. Buy last....and not for much money either. You will not miss much not owning this one....the best cuts are on the "Workshop Of The Telescopes" CD set.


title: Wonderful....

text: Wow! Someone had great taste to assemble this set of great music . So hard to get now....back when German Rock was the rage the separate albums were plentiful on CD reissue. Now here is a fine collection of prime cuts, from one of CAN's most important members.


title: A very cool release

text:
Ok, just so you all know ….this is the Koln 1970 concert to buy,...and NOT "Elemental Child live" (on London Calling). They are the same show, but the one on "London Calling" is re-arranged to make it look like a different show, and adds what they say is "Elemental Child" , but it's just the actual ending from "By the Light Of a Magical Moon" lopped off and moved to a different part of the show! This CD rights those wrongs.

These Easy Action titles help Marc's son Rolan Bolan and are family sanctioned!

THIS CD ("Crown of Dark...")is sourced from a live tape and not from hissy radio tapes...the booklet is also very good and informative with relevant photos also.  If you see the company name "Easy Action" it is a release that will benefit Marc's only son.  This has very passable sound,so never fear.

The show here is on the cusp of T. Rex...and has part acoustic guitar songs, and trials at electric guitar jams that set it's foundation firmly in the Beard Of Stars era. It's pretty innocent in a way ,and still has the psychedelic whimsy of the early band.  It's cool to be able to witness this era through this live recording.  Beard and the self titled T. Rex have a special place in my heart...and if you feel that way too, you'll like this release.


title: Really interesting "horn rock" that goes way out to Zappa proportions!

text:
Checked this out ,because of the wild artwork, on YouTube and found a band that has a bit of a taste of Chicago (now don't run away yet) in the Chicago III vein (their most aggressive and progressive album),and has nice LONG tracks that stretch out into avant angles....some very like Frank Zappa's "Waka / Jawaka" era.

So while the songs start out with vocals and horn arrangements, they soon have hard guitar solos and also humorous arrangements with darker ,twisted passages throughout.  Hot jamming makes this worth a good listen!

Grab this and give it some time , and I think you'll like it if you dig Grand Wazoo, and other Zappa jazz/rock albums.


title: I DO NOT know what all these 5 stars guys are hearing....

text:
I was late in hearing of this release,...and HAD to beat myself to get a copy!  It took multiple orders over a 4 month period to track this "superb" album down,....only to find out it is VERY GOOD sounding for a monitor mix,but in NO WAY superb.  Yea, the vocals are "up front", but the guitar mix is erratic at best.  This band was known for it's multi-guitar attack,and here there is always at least one guitar just hardly audible.

So after reading all these superlatives about the CD....and all the mess I had to go through to get one through customs (because it is an "embargo" item) I have to say , "Do NOT kill yourself to obtain this."  It is a bit shaky in sound...although it IS a complete show....Alice is all crazy and forgetting lyrics ,and that guitar mix problem makes this one just for the Alice Cooper Band freaks(but don't expect anything in the least perfect!).

Grab it if you are "nut" like me,...but expect a very good "mix board tape" and nothing more. It's a really good show, and it's complete.....but the mix really is  not that great, Alice sounds good but he's blowing lyrics left and right, and that makes a major difference.

Sorry 5 star people.  I HAD to lay the "truth" down. It took far too much effort for me get one to let some fan beat themselves to obtain this OK release.  Nice to have a complete show....but WOW I'm gonna have to adapt to this weird mix that you "other reviewers" did not warn me about. It is NOT a perfect , 5 star recording, sorry guys.


title: The good and BAD of it......

text: I will say that this single CD version of this "memorial" (?) is a nice selection of cuts by Chris,and I enjoyed the unreleased song a lot.  But I just can't get by the sadness of the thought of an artist that meant so much (with his , mostly uplifting lyrics) having taken his own life.  This single disc has enough on it to show anyone the strength and soul in Chris' delivery in many styles of song.  When he was alive his songs helped me through some tough times,all the way to "Rowing" on the last(?) Soundgarden , that helped me  feel like I wasn't the only one feeling daily struggle of life was getting out of hand. But now here we have what may be the last word in Chris Cornell's life ….and like how I feel about a few friends of mine who took the same route out....I have to feel sadness and anger.  Obviously "sadness",....but anger that Chris couldn't even take his own advice and keep on  "rowing" with the rest of us who felt his words and were helped along.  Yeah, it's great stuff here,....but damn there should have been more.  Years more. I lost two  friends named "Chris" in only a few years....damn why couldn't you both have held in there?  Here's wishing some "peace of mind" to other fans.  I guess my cycle of grief isn't complete yet?


title: Gris Gris , New Orleans,...and before and beyond!

text:
Great show!  Just on the borderline between his gris gris albums and his mainstream success.....in other words, just when YOU SHOULD have seen him in his day!!!!!  The sound is very acceptable,....and the disc includes a short interview where the announcer says "some magic is going on here...." ,and you know what , he's really right on!  The whole show starts with a few of the Doctor's VooDoo classics ,then goes right into great rockin' sounds from New Orleans.  The Right Time also is here ,and they nail it!

Get this before it's all gone.  A classic set.....well worth your time.


title: Take a deep breath.....and ..........

text:
Cool recording (audience....I think?) of the Floyd's Animals tour.  Slightly bass-y but not bad at all,variable vocal volume,but quite listenable! Much better than my old vinyl copy (which was called "A Great Set").  Here you get Pink Floyd on the infamous Animals tour that got more and more aggressive until Waters spat on a fan late in the tour(it WAS the time of "punk", you know!).....and he thought, "What the hell am I doing....?" and wrote the WALL because of the loss of fan/band sympathy.

But this isn't any love-fest,....NO the band seem a bit riled-up and sing aggressively at times too.  Are they tired,are they fighting each-other, are they close to breaking up......God (and they) only knows??  In any case it's a weird time for Pink and the boys(just joking ...ya know?).  But I still find this a good listen.  If you don't mind a bit of off notes (in voice and instrument), or a few times when the (well known ) vocals are a bit lost to the instrument volumes....and you just NEED to audibly witness these songs that are rarely played ,......then this is a fine way to check it out.

At one point during "...Crazy Diamond" I think the on-stage fireworks blow out more than just sparks.....and cause a moment of confusion and shock too.  Remember.......it's all purely LIVE.....no over-dubs.  Warts and all.......I think this is the best we can hope for as far as a document of the 1977 Pink Floyd shows.  I still really love ANIMALS,......and this does me just fine ,since I couldn't "be there" at the shows.  Take a deep breath .....and listen.


title: Another fine ,twisted electronics release....

text:
I give this a four star rating only because Intersystems' next release ("Free Psychedelic Poster Inside")seems to me to be their best.  But this is certainly another wild and fun album.

  Here on "Peachy" you can find the same sort of almost "beat" poetry spoken during wild bursts of sound and effected voice snips swirling around your speakers,...but maybe a bit more "dark" in subject matter this time around.

  Come and hear early free-form sounds of an electronic nature and thrill to stories about "caves", "guns" ,and what happens to the men who find them!!!  Yes,thrills and chills ....they are all here. All this in a swirl of fine late 1960's electronics!  Their next Lp would seem to be their best,....but here is more twisted elcetronics fun for your mind's eye.  Get it while you still can.

title: As Moving as the Movie

text: If you have sen this movie, you'll understand. The music captures all of the turbulent, painful, beautiful, loving, human emotion which the dancing of the film does so much to represent in ways which words can't. It turns out that Lisa Niemi and her husband Patrick Swayze are far more than accomplished actors, writers, and producers: Mr. Swayze himself sings on at least one track, and they are both wonderful dancers (although I am not, I hasten to add, especially qualified to judge; except that their dancing and that of the rest of the cast spoke to me in ways I didn't think dancing could). The whole is only more poignant still because of the untimely death of Patrick Swayze a few short years after the movie was made. The music matches the breadth and depth of the moods of the film, and if you have an audiophile system, the sonics of the CD are really quite good (especially the three dimensionality and the percussion which is so dramatic and dynamic, it'll take the paint off your walls!).


Once you hear "1492, Who Found Who" you will be toe-tapping happy. Clever, important lyrics with an uptempo beat. Perfect Thanksgiving song.

title: One of Four Jazz Classics

text:
My wife and I were at Chautauqua Institution week 9 last summer where the theme was jazz, and the week was organized in conjunction with Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center. Wynton and his associates provided fabulous lectures as well as a number of performances and longer special studies sessions. My wife and I went into the week knowing little about jazz and were mesmerized. At one of the special studies sessions we were given a list of the four most important jazz recordings, or something to that effect. The list was:
Time Out 1997 by Dave Brubeck,
Kind Of Blue 2011 by Miles Davis,
A Love Supreme 2003 by John Coltrane, and
Getz / Gilberto 1997 by Joao Gilberto and Stan Getz.
We have purchased and are enjoying CDs of all four.
I suspect that others more knowledgeable would debate this list of four, and whether four is an adequate number!

title: Forget Your Expectations

text:
In some ways, Speedy Ortiz fits comfortably in an endlessly talented field of female-fronted power-pop bands like Dude York, Diet Cig, and Charly Bliss, to name just a few. On Twerp Verse, tracks like the lead single "Lucky 88," "Villain," and "You Hate the Title" combine earworm melodies and quirky, Apples In Stereo-esque synth noodling with great success.

The way the band sets itself apart from others in the genre, though, is the way they sacrifice conventionally satisfying hooks in favor of a darkness and dissonance that better fits the difficult themes their lyrics confront. The album's opener, "Buck Me Off," celebrates the power of embracing your dark side with clashing minor chords and stalking, sinewy verses. Whenever it seems like "Can I Kiss You?" is approaching a melodic resolution, it instead leans into a sour note to flip the bird at your expectations. And don't let the sunny title "I'm Blessed" fool you; the track pricks like barbed wire, droning metallically and punctuated with tiny bursts of discordance. These moments undoubtedly make the band's music less conventional, but also, by design, more challenging to listen to. Though Speedy Ortiz never gets anywhere near the alienating cavity pain that a band like Joan of Arc aims for, they clearly revel in eschewing the chords that "feel right" to the casual listener.

Lyrically, frontwoman Sadie DuPuis is among the best on the scene today, unpacking everyday injustice with equal parts ennui and quiet rage. Her writing evokes the unsettling surrealism of a Dali painting, even when she's singing about prom or vampires. She toys with words the way a cat does a mouse--batting, stalking, pouncing--and she boasts the kind of sneaky eloquence that can only be fully appreciated with your nose buried in the liner notes while you follow along to the songs.

Twerp Verse sparks with attitude, sneering at sexists and mansplainers and bad boyfriends. It is unapologetically itself: jagged, unpolished, aiming to show its teeth. If you're looking to feed your bitter side a bit, this record wants to commiserate and help you harness what you're feeling.


title: Q

text: Great CD. Hard to find.


Like other reviewers, I encountered the artist playing his hammered dulcimer on the street, while going to lunch. I don't remember whether I actually made it to lunch, I was so fascinated by the strange, other-worldly sounds emerging from his instrument. I thought I knew the dulcimer and what sort of music it produces. Not so. Michael Masley has converted it into an inner spaceship, with which to explore yourself and the mysteries that hover within you, waiting to come out. Come, take that journey within. There is so much to find, so much at which to marvel.


This album is a silly and wonderful glimpse of the Dead before they became the Dead. It's a live recording from 1964. The album starts with an announcer introducing them. Listen in, for what he has to say really does sum up this album:<br />"The next group is Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions. These guys are just a panic to watch. They fumble around on the stage and they bicker and eventually they come out with some pretty weird music. I think you're in for a treat and a real thrill..."


title: Delicious sounds - gentle, loving and addictive

text:
There are six tracks on this CD.

In the first one, "Pineal Dimensional Attunement", you should focus on the central area of your brain and imagine that the sounds are emanating from the pineal gland. This should have the effect of stimulating your pineal to "respond to the higher realms of spiritual light".

I found the second track, "El Ka Leem Om (Chant of the Elements)" challenging. You have to identify certain sounds, which was the challenging part (or perhaps I didn't listen carefully enough), and then send feelings of gratitude to the outer element in question and then to the inner element in your body, and so on. (The sounds are fine, it's only what you have to do while listening that's challenging.

The third, fourth and fifth tracks ("Heart Mending Song", "Manna" and "Heart Dimensional Attunement" I found delicious. In "Heart Mending Song", which is for emotional healing, you focus on the heart chakra, or the physical heart, feel the arising emotions and let the sounds vibrate through the areas of your body where you feel the emotion/s most strongly. When listening to this track, it seemed to me that time slowed down or stopped.

Tom K. states that Track Four, "Manna", has "potent healing and regenerative properties". Since energy follows awareness, "the nourishing and regenerative properties" of manna will come to those places where your attention is focused. The heart chakra is stated to be a good place, or areas or organs in need of healing. This is a lovely track with gentle, loving sounds in a simple "refrain", if this term can be used, that cleansed my heart chakra. I found this track, like the preceding track, to be addictive, and I listen to them both again and again.

In Track Five, you should imagine that the sounds are coming from your heart chakra, Both this track and the "Pineal Dimensional Attunement" track can cause psycho-spiritual cleansing reactions if listened to for too long. See Tom K's web site to read about this phenomenon.

The final track, "Worlds Ascending", was created as a "sonic background for the Holon of Ascension". Again, see Tom K's site for information about this. But you can just listen to the track, focus on it, and thereby "travel into your own inner worlds". These are, again, gentle, loving "refrains".

I strongly recommend that you get hold of this wonderful CD.
