title: sinatra in front of the basie band, arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones

text: What a great date. This is big band music at its modern best, swinging hard and Sinatra's genius on display. He is the greatest popular singer of the 20th century . His delivery on the' The Good Life 'demonstrates how to sing a song from build up to climax= perfect!!!


title: The picture and title DO NOT MATCH - you don't know what is for sale

text:
According to pacoweb.net (the best source of andean music info), the picture and title do NOT match.  Further, there are two similar CDs with the title shown in the picture.
Title - Best of Inka World : [...]

Picture shown - Inka World - Ancient Medicine Woman Songs [...]
Same title as picture shown  - Inka World - Ancient Medicine Woman Songs(note larger design on CD insert)
(note different tracklist):
[...]

Under the circumstances, were I planning to buy, I would not because I have no way of knowing what CD(s) are being offered (often other sellers 'me-two' based on the title or the picture), and no way of knowing which CD the review refers to.


title: Charijayac, Vol 8, New Generation - Inka Quechua

text:
I took a gamble on this (artist: Richard & Luis; title: Charijayac) because Charijac is one of the most famous bands from Otavalo, Ecuador.  And, the picture of the back of the CD had the name of Richard Cotacachi - I knew Sayri Cotacachi lead(s) Charijayac.

It turned out to be Charijayac, Vol 8.  I'm not sure why Richard Cotacachi and Luis Cotacachi are so prominent in the way it is printed that whoever doing the amazon.com listings turned it around, but I lucked into an outstanding CD for an excellent price.

Several of the tracks are well-known songs by Sayri Cotacachi - Cita en el Sol, Quemando los Nubes, Viajando en la Imaginacion ... Quilla is a lullaby for his daughter.

Group members are listed as Sayri Cotacachi, Quirpus Cotacachi, Richard Cotacachi, Louis Cotacachi, Mayu Quisoñes, Chasqui Tituaña, Raymi Tituaña, Yuyay Tituaña, Rupay Cachiguango; several guest artists (Colaboradoration) are also credited.

Pate de Fua is hard to classify. They are part of the Jazz scene in Mexico City, but I don't think a lot of people would classify their music as jazz. They initially classified themselves as "cafeon" which I think is about as close as I can think of - even if they are the only ones in the class.

Their playing is top notch, very talented musicians every one. Their musical style? Well, imagine yourself in a small cafe on a back street somewhere you want to be. Soft breezes blowing, a glass of wine, some cheese and a surprising house band. They are out there on their own, but in the right setting, it is hard not to relax, smile and enjoy.

Bueno!


title: wonderful representation of this beloved artist's original songs

text:
Michael Peter Smith, who died recently, is a beloved singer/songwriter:  poignant, clever, funny, thought-provoking, original songs.  This collection, recorded live, has just the right mix of classics and lesser-known tunes.  I think this may be the only CD with "Starfisher" (as sung by Michael; Anne Hills has it on a recording, too); it's pure poetry and longing.  "Crazy Mary" has hints of Dylan Thomas, in its lyricism:
".... So they went the summer years
Each one more fleeting than the last one
Rushing down the green and golden paths
And soon the woods were not enchanted any more
For we had grown
And we'd forgotten Crazy Mary"
AND:
"In the lamplight burning low
And dimly thru enchanted woods
We think about the sins that we commit
Along the green and golden paths of growing up
We light the fire
And say a prayer for Crazy Mary"

I think about Dylan Thomas' "Fern Hill":
"And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman, the calves
Sang to my horn, the foxes on the hills barked clear and cold,
  And the sabbath rang slowly
  In the pebbles of the holy streams."

Anyways.  "Zippy" is in this collection, the funniest, cleverest song ever!  "Sister Clarissa," a tender remembrance of a nun from childhood:
"Sister Clarissa is eleven feet tall
Her rosary hangs & it clatters & it clangs
When she moved down the hall
She writes Sister Clarissa up high on the board
The chalk won't dare squeak
The children sit meekly without a word
Somehow you know summer's over"

And of course, "The Dutchman" -- arguably Michael's most famous and well-loved song -- is included.

The entire collection is this good, PLUS you have Michael's warm humor between songs.  All his albums are fine, but I'm so pleased to finally have found this one.

title: AMAZING Recording!!!! Definitive version of Jongen’s Masterpiece!!!!

text: This recording of Michael Murray with the San Francisco Symphony was made during the inauguration week (April 7-14, 1984) of the Great Ruffatti Organ in Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. During this week, Michael Murray appeared with the San Francisco Symphony performing Jongen’s Symphonie Concertante, the Poulenc Concerto, and the Saint Saëns 3rd “Organ” Symphony. He also recorded a recital of works by Bach, Messiaen, Dupré, Widor and Franck which appeared as a companion to this recording, and which I will review next. Without question, this recording is a real barn-burner with VERY inspired performances from both Murray and the SF Symphony. Joseph Jongen’s Symphonie Concertante is without a doubt in my mind one of the GREATEST pieces of music ever written for organ with orchestra. The two forces are beautifully integrated as one gigantic sonic tapestry in music that is both instantly memorable and wonderfully varied. As the liner notes aptly indicate, this piece demands an organist with a “black belt in technique.” Indeed, this work is VERY demanding from the organist, especially the ending Toccata (Moto Perpetuo) which is absolutely BRUTAL and relentless in its difficulties. However, Michael Murray demonstrates ABSOLUTE mastery of this score and makes the challenges come off with utter ease. THAT is the mark of a truly great virtuoso!!! But Murray goes far beyond “mere” technical wizardry as he breathes so much life into this score with his BRILLIANT registrations, sensitive and careful phrasing, and a tremendous intuitive understanding of balance with the orchestra. The Ruffatti Organ is a FANTASTIC one, and I am lucky to live in the San Francisco Bay Area to be able to hear it in person!! Murray makes the most of Jongen’s score and really shows off this instrument’s ability to work with an orchestra. He takes many liberties with the registrations, but they are all so very musical and perfectly justified. After all, the Symphonie Concertante was originally commissioned by Rodman Wanamaker to be performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra on the COLOSSAL BEHEMOTH that is the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia. The San Francisco Symphony under Edo de Waart turns in a very fine performance as well, and they bring out all that could be hoped for in this great piece. Their passion in the Toccata in particular is palpable!! In my opinion this is the DEFINITIVE recording of this work!! Rounding out this disc are two masterpieces by Cesar Franck, who was also Belgian by birth. Here Murray offers the great Fantasie in A from the Trois Pieces (1878), and the terrific Pastorale from the Six Pieces (published in 1868, but composed between 1858 and 1860.) Again, Murray’s readings are FABULOUS, and it also my opinion that NO ONE plays Franck better than he!! Michael Murray EMBODIES the musical vision of this Great composer like none other!!! I must also point out that when this recording was made, the Ruffatti had 132 ranks and 7,373 pipes. One year later a 14 rank Diapason Chorus was added to beef up foundation tone and is available on the second manual. In addition, a Flute d’Orchestra was added to the Fanfare Division bringing the total number of ranks to 147 and the pipe count to 8,264.

title: Get Video Game Live albums instead...

text: So if you are reading this, it probably means you like music games from video games.  I have heard the pieces on this album on streaming sites for soundtracks, but my biggest issue with them is that the composition does not sound like the video game.  Now, whether this would bother you or not is really up to your personal taste, but judging on other people's reviews, why are you spending 3 times more money when you can get the awesome Video Game Live albums instead with just a fraction of the cost?


title: it's pretty much classic rock in orientation but uses a lot ...

text: i'm the artist so i'm biased.  my first cd which was a conglomeration of about 25 years worth of written material.  it's special to me as it has posthumously my friend, Steve Hamden, on drums on some tracks we'd recorded before he died.  it's pretty much classic rock in orientation but uses a lot of acoustic instruments as well.  i think there is some really good songs on it.  nope, it wasn't made in the record plant in NY or something, but it turned out well.  i think it's worth it!


title: Only 3 songs on this CD.

title: Da Queen hit'em hard wit dis one

text: Da Queen brought it all together on this one. She had already earned respect with her other albums, but this one put her on an even higher level than previous records did. She gave us everything on this one. She gave us Black Hand Side (catchy), Rough (the title speaks for itself), U.N.I.T.Y. (da anthem) and Just Another Day (smooth) and everything else in between. Most MC's can barely do more than one type of song, but she showed much versatility and that's why it is worth buying. This was the best Latifah album ever!

title: Definitely Raw Produce

text:
Searching for this album, i was genuinely shocked to see that this has absolutely no reviews whatsoever! So i thought I should be the first to spread a little light on this slept on gem.

A ridiculously underground Boston duo, evidently influenced by the likes of De La, A Tribe Called Quest/ other old school conscious pioneers, Raw produce maintain the formula of thought provoking lyrics over classy layered jazzy beats, bound to get any true music appreciators head noddin. Noteworthy examples include I Am Myself feat. Mr Lif (the first track I heard by them, and still my favourite - I Am myself no games to be played, no script to be writ, no scenes to be made!),  Cycles (their first single),  Perpetual motion feat. Esoteric, Weight of the world (the nod factor), and Rick Gerone feat. Akrobatik, to name a few. Their are 16 proper tracks on here, with 8 skits/interludes (with some unique samps, similar to madlib) that are all more than worthy of a play.

this album is more than listenable anyway you look at it, but most effective id say to be bumped during a good ol' buddwah session or equally on the move! (headphones or sumat to that effect) as the combination of eye-opening lyrics and captivating beats shouldn't be confined to your computer's shoddy speakers. so whether you're a hiphop fiend in search of more innovative material, or just a fan of a solid jazzy influence; check this out by all means. you'll thank me, best find in a while

Peace


title: a very culteraly modivated album

text: This cd shows how spainish culter comes to light, the artists featured on this album show how poetry and hip hop are basically the same thing. It is a great cd, not your average hip hop cd but it is close, trust me i highly  recomment this cd, it might be kinda hard to find, but if you ever see it  pick it up.

title: His Name is S.A.N.T.A.N.A.

text: Juelz is tight, like he says on the BLCC2 and I quote, "the difference between us and them is, we us and they them...that says it all!  BLCC is crazy and if you are a diplomat fan check it out...He is definitely a preview of the Matrix !2..


title: Excellent condition and impeccable sound!

text: Jewel box perfect. Booklet was practically brand new, not a scratch or blemish for a used CD is an achievement!


title: It Wasn't THAT bad...

text: I agree with Johnny: no one's ever going to be able to touch Whitney Houston's performance of "The Star Spangled Bannner".  There are some who don't like it or feel that it can get better, but they are just deluding themselves.  Now onto Beyonce's performance.  It was more like a 3.9, than a 4...I watched the Superbowl when she sang it (the Pats won that year)so I know that she did it well and that the sustained high note on the "free" was secure, but I just can't remember how she sounded.  They even replayed it on "Oprah" and I still can't remember.  I know Beyonce has an amazing voice and she has very good control over it, but I'm thinking it could've at least been a bit more distinctive, otherwise it wouldn't have faded so easily...

title: More Gems From A Master

text: These gems found on this 2 disc set, are just a taste of the genius of Tommy Bolin. This is Tommy in his element. Playing his music without any pressure. Just having fun with close friends. There are some  serious jams on this collection. Just a taste of what and where Tommy was wanting his music to go. A must for any Tommy Bolin fan. If you are not familiar with Tommy Bolin, then, I would start with Teaser, Private Eyes, Come Taste the Band, and by all means SPECTRUM.


title: A Jazz Gem!

text:
This album is a gem for anyone who loves jazz and all that the finest  jazz musicians can do when they are at the top of their game.
Ronnie Leigh an artist who brings immense raw talent, decades of fine tuning his instrument, and his most monster musician friends to this live performance.
Listen to this album and let yourself know and hear the best of what a true jazz vocalist and his outstanding band can create.  I would recommend specific tunes
but each cut is magic....ok...Blackbird, Ain't Misbehavin', All Blues, Stompin' at the Savoy, and Amazing Grace are pure gold.


title: Llego antes de lo esperado 🤍

text: Todo muy bien 🤍


This is a wonderful album beautifully sung by the Norman Luboff Choir.  I grew up listening to this and am so glad they have released it on CD.  Now I wish they would release Songs of the Civil War.

title: Once again for the third time!!!! ...

text: Once again for the third time!!!!!!! I could not play the DVD as it did not have a Region 1 on it, but rather a '0' and none of my three Dvd machines were able to play it!!!!!!!!!  How could you ethically sell something that could not be played in this country?????????? You probably do not even read these reviews which is why I have been continually asked for my review!!!!!!! L.G.


title: Exact item

text: It contains the exact piece of music I was looking for. No confusion like when I go to a music store with a huge selection of the same thing.


title: I do not recommend this DVD.

text: Many of songs do not sound like Rich.  Is this an authenic DVD?


title: purchase review

text: Love it


title: Three Stars

text: Not what I expected... This is a composite of songs not what I was looking for.


title: Rich but cheap

text: It's Rich Mullins, so the songs are great.  However the quality of this set just seems to be lacking something.  The packaging also appears to be sort of cheap.  Got damaged in shipping.  I would stay away from re-releases amd purchase used originals if possible.


title: THIS ALBUM IS CERTAINLY FULL OF LIFE

text: Joseph Williams is better known as the vocalist on two TOTO albums - Fahrenheit and The Seventh One and for his dad John Williams the composer. He has released four solo of which this CD I Am Alive and the following  album 3 are far superior to the other output. This album features the cream  of west-coast musicians - Michael Landau, Jay Graydon, Jeff Porcaro, Jason  Scheff and Michael Thompson to name a few. As you may expect the music is  top class and some of the songs are classic's. Just listen to Heroes,  Rather dance By Myself and I Believe In You and it will make the hairs on  the back of your neck stand up. There is also a fantastic version of that  80's classic - Cool Night by Paul Davis with backing vocals by Bill  Champlin and Jason Scheff (Both lead vocalists in Chicago) and a wonderful  guitar solo by Jay Graydon. This album is a worthy addition to any  collection and I would also advise you to search for Joseph Williams  "3" album which is a lot better than this release.

title: Beautiful, Gorgeous, Moving Music

text:
I should start by saying that Garrison and I were friends growing up in Pittsburgh thirty years ago, and that when I heard about his untimely death, I became obsessed with finding out what had happened to him.  Fortunately, I came upon this CD and was blown away!  Beautifully strummed 12 string guitars and a vocal passion that is rarely heard.  Full, powerful, heartfelt stories that take you on a journey and genuinely move you. His generous and sweet spirit comes through with a strength of emotion and passion that is invigorating.  After hearing this CD, I became excited and inspired to create.  This is no laid-back coffee room background music, this is folk music at its best.
This is currently my favorite CD.  I just love it.  My wife heard it in the car the other day and said "Who is this?  This guy is REALLY GOOD!"
If you want to hear great music that will lift your spirit, and fill you with emotion, check out this CD.  Beautiful, glorious music.


title: Excelente para principiantes

text: Tiene un aspecto muy profesional. Es fácil configurar y los videos y fotos son my buenos. El control es muy sensible y con buenas funciones excelente para aprender en un dron con muchas funciones avanzadas. Me gusto mucho la compra sigo aprendiendo con el.


This melodic orchestral music evokes nostalgia and images of Greece and is a tribute to the anonymous gentle woman that inspired Manos Hatzidakis to write it. It is equally a tribute to the gentle mother, to the gentle woman, that has touched each of us. It is some of the most beautiful music ever written.


title: Great Music

text: During Christmas I heard one of these songs on the radio and couldn't find it available anywhere online so I found the CD and bought it. I'd never heard anything like it and it was very moving so I had to find it again.


title: I was expecting a CD but no a Tape arrived........

text: No mention of it being a Tape.....


title: Love this album!

text: I love this comeback and loved the packaging. The sleeve was soft and feels good. So happy with this purchase... Only one thing, instead of giving me the bad boy poster, they have me the Peek-a-boo one


title: I bought 2, one came with NO stickers...

text: I bought 2 of these thinking that I would get different versions for both, but they sent me the same kind. Which was kinda okay. And when I open both of them, one of the albums DIDN'T CAME WITH STICKERS!! I can't help but be very disappointed 😥. I don't know what to do since I already opened the album...


title: I'm missing items 😔

text: Great and all but I didn't get the 9 limited photocard set and the other poster... Who can I contact to fix this issue


title: excellent 90s black metal

text: Excellent 90s black metal with some other influences scattered around. Everythings well played, nothings really out of place, despite there being a few parts you might not expect going into this. The best way to describe this....probably would be to say that it mixes kind of a typical 1995/1996ish bm sound, complete with the keyboard use that was getting so popular around the time, mixed with some death, and to a lesser extent thrash and doom influences. Don't let the keyboards steer you away though, I love this and I can count the amount of metal albums with this many keyboards I like this much on one hand. The keyboard use kind of reminds me of mystifier....or early nocturnal mortum at times, but nowhere near as cheesy or over the top. And this really is pretty far removed from the softer stuff that was coming out of Norway. Honestly the keyboards came off a bit upfront on the first listen but whereas a lot of other "metal" bands that use keyboards, and have all the room in the mix, the guitars really have the focus here. Riffs are great, staying mostly in 90s black metal fast picking, with some thrash palm muting, some nice lower end death metal tremolo, and a couple of crushing doom parts. Drums are standard, competently played nothing flashy.  Production is pretty clean considering this is a no-name polish black metal release from 1996, everything is mixed really well and the guitar tone is nice and thick compared to the trebley sound that makes so many black metal bands sound like flying gnats. This is definitely straight up black metal, but its production value, and its tendency to be pretty heavy sometimes make this appeal to someone who really prefers death metal 99% of the time. Recommended for 90s black metal listeners, but I really cant say that applies to me, so I can recommend this to death metal listeners with mild interest in black metal as well.


title: 2 true masters

text: Perazzo and Rekow demonstrate sheer mastery of their instruments and their arrangements are ripping with exciting and dramatic flair. This CD is a must for percussionists everywhere, as well as for anyone who loves roots n rythm. One my absolute favorite recordings of all time. There is plenty of cultre and pureness on this CD and it demands the attention of any listener. The skill level of the musicians is of the highest form. Without a doubt, this is one powerful and entertaining CD. Roots n culture to the max!


We've loved all three of these collections for years. A great combination of familiar pieces and new-to-us gems, it's introduced us to composers we hadn't known.

This is like a backhanded compliment. I am in AWE with The Piano Guys work. I can't wait to see more and that is why, I'm sorry to say, but I feel cheated! I SOOO LOVED seeing them in concert in Charlotte, NC for my birthday. But my family couldn't attend with me. So I bought this for them.  Why did you cut so much out of your concert at Red Butte? There MUST be peices missing. And your true "showmanship" shines in your comedic transition between pieces. Don't cut them out!!!  My complaint is with the editing!  Too much of it!  I want the entire concert next time please.


title: Great Cd

text: First and foremost if you have never been to the Basilica of San Juan in San Juan Texas and not heard these guys live in a mass your really missing out. I have been a lover of Mariach Music forever and never heard anything so beautiful. These are very talented musicians that put their talents in good use for not only making a Catholic mass enjoyable but also of great service to the Lord. The brass players are incredible. I am a trumpet player and articulation and their technique are very well rounded. There is nothing against padre Juan Nicolau but some of the singing that he does is not very good. Im just giving an honest critique of this CD. Im not going to lie the first time I heard him sing Un dia la vez I started to laugh. He sticks out pretty well. But if you listen to it over and over you eventually get used to it. I also like that some of the songs are billingual so that everyone can understand some of the songs. I HIGHLY RECOMEND THAT YOU HEAR THESE GUYS LIVE AND ALSO BUY THIS CD.


title: GREAT MEDITATION CD

text: Love this meditation CD.  Short and long meditations to meet your daily schedule!  Wonderful for a quick rebalance before work, etc.  LOVE THIS.


title: Great Album By A Very Good Band!

text: I'm a friend of Morgan, the singer on this album, so this review is somewhat biased.  While not as good as his later work in High Treason and Vicious Rumors, this recording by his first major band showcases what's yet to come.  Soaring vocals, well-written songs and good production make this a "must-have" for any fan of the Milwaukee music scene.


title: No one is better than Engelbert

text: All of these songs are fabulous as Engelbert IS always fabulous!!!!  I recommend everything he sings.  This CD is no exception. Wonderful !!


title: Absolutely Fabulous CD

text: This is an absolutely fabulous CD.  Track 10, "Mana Mou Ke Panayia" is possibly the most beautiful song ever recorded.

If you like 1920's-1960's jazz, these guys are utterly fantastic.  The band, "Ms. Liz," the lead singer, the tap dancer will knock you out.

We traveled to Greensboro, NC to see them a few months ago - even better in person.  Follow their website to see if you can catch them live.

If they will not be in your area, look for their "subway" piece on YouTube - if you are sold on them by that, buy their CD's.  If not, have a family member call the undertaker.  You have, sadly, already died, and have just failed to notice!


title: Incorrect description

text: The disc seems to  be in good shape. However, I chose this particular one because it said it was still in the shrinkwrap. When it arrived it definitely did not have the plastic shrink wrap on it. It had been an open CD.


title: Great Album --- Just a Tad Long

text: Excellent synth-pop put together without synthesizers.  Good songs, good performances, singing can be a bit flat at times.  Worth adding to your collection.


title: Great music for before, during or after praying

text: This is an inspiring music CD. No lyrics, perfect for meditating, praying and establishing a beautiful conversation with God. I bought it about a year ago and I still find it as inspiring as the first day I played it.


title: I learned that the great pipe organ is no longer serviceable and is in ...

text: I have a copy of this album that has been in my family since it was issued over 50 years ago. The selections and the performances are magnificent, and, with a decent turn table and half robust stereo system, it is guaranteed to bring down the rafters of your music room, if not your whole house. In addition to the four selections noted above, the album includes rousing performances of Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance March No.1" and Camille Saint-Saen's "Bacchanale" from "Samson & Delilah."  Richard Ellsasser recorded this album on a 10,000-pipe organ at the Hammond Castle, a medieval-style fortress overlooking the Atlantic Ocean near Gloucester, Massachusetts. The instrument was then the largest privately-owned pipe organ in the world. Sadly, while visiting the castle this year, I learned that the great pipe organ is no longer serviceable and is in need of restoration.  If you are interested in great pipe organ music, you will not be disappointed by this magnificent recording.


title: EARTH SHAKING!

text: I got delivered through the CD. I believe there was massive healing and breakthrough. Thank you HOLY SPIRIT!


title: Perfect listening

text: Great written 80’s Tunes, under rated Artist of his time for sure.


title: Was exactly how it should be

text: New and in perfect condition.


title: Highlife music collection by Osadebe

text: Is the greatest Hits by Chief Osita Osadebe. Good music collection. Music is rare.


title: Five Stars

text: Good Gospel album.


title: Where do I start?

text: Is this a Brandon Flowers solo effort or a Killers album?  Quite honestly, this is too weak to be either. Pure adult contemporary rubbish. I didn’t think it could get any worse after Battle Born, but here we are. Most of the songs are indistinguishable from each other. Where is the energy and passion? This will sadly be my last Killers CD.<br />Yes, Brandon, seems that all of the songs have been written...


title: Fun Listening

text: If you are looking for that old school indie-pop/rock, or simply looking for som high-paced tunes as you're preparing for your night out - Check this out! Excellent listening to kick up the mood!<br />** PLAY REALLY LOUD **


As if following up four consecutive, near flawless albums isn't a daunting enough task, hip-hop legends Guru and DJ Premeir find themselves re-entering a hip-hop scene much different than the one they left 5 years ago. It is a testament to Premo's musical dexterity that he was able to simultaneously update his signiture style while maintaining its essence, and in the process craft one of the most well produced rap albums of the year.
  Guru on the other hand, sticks with what has worked so well for him in the past: a straight forward, conversational flow and healthy doses of lyrical braggadocio sprinkled with the occasional jewels of consciousness. When Premo's intricately crafted 2K3 beats manage to complement Guru's 1994 flow, accenting the rugged beauty of it's simplicity, the album soars. The menacing "Rite Where U Stand" can hold its own along side any of Gang Starr's mid '90s classics, with it's rumbling bassline and grimey keys merging with the no-nonsense rhymes of Guru and Jadakiss to create timeless hip-hop. "Deadly Habitz", "In this Life" featuring a focused Snoop Dog, and "Zonin'" follow in the tradition of other mellow, jazz inflected Gang Starr classics, but with a cleaner, slightly more refined sound. And "Who Got Gunz" follows in a long line of classic Gang Starr posse cuts that are fully capable of inducing a riot. This time the guests of honor are Fat Joe and MOP.
  As consistantly enjoyable as The Ownerz is, it appears at times as if Premo's new millenium beats have out grown Guru's flow. With his rugged monotone and swaggering attitude, Guru is at his best over grimey tracks, street anthems. Much of the production here has traded in some of the grime for a musical intricacy that Guru's monotone cannont fully utilize. Even on "Rite Where U Stand", where Guru comes off lovely, he is clearly outshined by Jada. And on solo cuts like "Riot Akt" and "PLAYTAWIN", his rhymes simply fail to leave a lasting impression, despite A level production.
  But overall, Gang Starr at 80% is still better than most of the rap ground out. The Ownerz is also a welcome breath of fresh air from the formula driven hip-pop that has dominated the air waves in recent years. A must for listeners who like their hip-hop in its purest form. And for those new to Gang Starr, also cop Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr while you're at it.


title: Honestly, one of my favorite 5 albums-E.V.E.R.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

text:
I bought this CD & I am totally happy with it.  I only have 5 favorites, and it is hard for an album to be on my top 5 favorite list, because I have to like every song on the album a lot, for it to be on the list.  Now, I will start my review.  I gave every song 5 stars.  Read my review, buy the CD, & hear how great it is!  *REMEMBER-ALL SONGS ARE 5 STARS!*
1)I Wanna Be Bad= Great, great song.  This song, can never get played.  It has a great pop vibe, with a little dance & r&b.  Very unique song, and has a vibe that is just "get up, invite your family & cousins over, & D.A.N.C.E.!!"
2)Did Ya Understand That= Great, hot Spring or Summer song.  Mid-tempo.  She hits some high notes on this.  Very, very excellent song!  In the beginning, it sounds a bit like Jessica Simpson's "Irresistible."
3)Ooh Ooh= A bit of an explicit song, but great.  It is such a great song, that you can picture the WHOLE video in your head.  Makes you wanna be a director (maybe try to be one & direct Willa's videos!!)
4)Tired= Ahh, finally what I wanted.  She disses her old record company-for firing her because she didn't want to be a star like britney (who CANNOT SING AT ALL!!!!!!!!).  She also disses britney, thank goodness,britney can't sing & I am so happy Jessica Simpson is on top- BECAUSE JESSICA HAS AN EXCELLENT VOICE & IS VERY RELIGIOUS!!
5)Jokes On You= Great pop song, and should be released as a single-if it was for me, this song would hit #1!
6)Tender= A ballad.  Great, great, great, great Summer slow ballad!!  It is featured on the "Spyder Games" soundtrack-I LOVE THE SHOW!  She hits a really high note!
7)Don't You Wish= Great, great pop song.  Would do probably great if it was released as a single!
8)Prince Charming= Its going to go to #1 in my world!!  Great, great pop song!  I love it SOOOOOOOOOOO much!  It is one of my favorite songs ever!  It is so hard to explain, but listen to it!!  GREAT CD ALERT: BUY THIS CD!!
9)Somebody Take The Pain Away= No matter what upsetting or mad situation you are in, this song will help you get through it.  #1! ! ! ! ! !
10) Haunted Heart= Starts off like a slow song, but gets into a fast song.  I like it & it should be released around Halloween!  If it is, it will probably go to #1! ! ! ! ! !
11)Dare= Great song.  Sounds a bit like her #1 Japan hit "Nastified!"  Great song-buy the CD, cause its hard to explain.
  Willa wrote basically all the songs on the album, except "Tender" & "Somebody Take The Pain Away"!  Congrads Willa, & congrads to you who bought the CD, & of course, God-for making her!!


title: my fave album

text: Item was delivered on time, was as described & came with the original case & artwork & played perfectly ..this was a great addition to my cassette collection :-)


title: poorly packaged and with damages


title: Messed up audio

text: Case was heavily cracked but that was ok as long as the cd worked. The first couple of songs in the album worked fine until halfway through the audio was off.


title: Five Stars

text: Received in time and in good standards!


title: MMLP3 is so Hilariously Bad.

text: I'm not stupid and know that there is no MMLP3. I want this not for the music, but as a trophy.


title: Is The World Still Spinning Around?

text: I waited for this cassette box set! When it finally came, I knew this would be the perfect soundtrack to my morning. The sound quality is perfect and like cassettes do, they highlight certain sounds you don’t hear on a CD or vinyl. Great experience all in all.


title: Radio Broadcast of legendary Englishtown, NJ show

text: So know I've heard both recordings...The Dick's Pick's SB release and the radio broadcast.  I actually like the sound of the radio broadcast better!  It's punchier and more full of life.  If you love this Englishtown show, then you MUST own this.  The He's Gone performed here is hands down the best ever.  This is coming from a huge fan who has spent way too many hours listening to this band:)


title: Excellent

text: Received as advertised


title: A decent show marred by surprisingly poor sound

text:
This setlist looks masterful and, taking place just prior to 12/26/79 (which was released as Dick's Picks #5), this performance should be a no-brainer purchase. I say "should" because the recording and mix are so poor, I really can't tell you how well the band played that night. I honestly thought someone had messed with my stereo settings; the vocals and keys are very loud and everything else is a soft rumble in the background. I've spun the show front to back a few times but I find myself constantly raising the volume during jams and lowering it during verse/chorus sections.

Every source tape has its own limitations but Dave's Picks #31 sets a disturbing precedent: it's the first "official release" that sounds like a cheap-o, grey market bootleg. It also begs the question that hungry Dead Heads always ask each other, "how much is left in the vault?".


title: This is a better sounding Dick's Picks 15...

text:
... and for a fraction of the price. Rest assured, you can hear all the musicians clearly, including Phil (the guy who tends to go missing on bootlegs). You needn't worry about disc-jockey chatter or other station interruptions. It's just the whole, glorious show. This release rivals the actual Dick's Picks release so well, my iTunes uploaded the discs automatically as Dick's Picks 15. They're that identical.

By and large, I stick to the band's Rhino releases but there are some deals I can't refuse. For further listening, seek out another GD bootleg on this label, "San Francisco 1976".


title: Worth every cent !

text:
For everyone reading this dicks picks 7 is a winner , but you have to remember I've been  going td ad shows since 1981 so what I like is different
Than what someone who was at the Fillmore  in 1971 . And every person hears a show that they went to differently  than a show they didn't .
 The other thing is how a show was recorded ,  why do you think the spring tour 1990 sounds so good ,( even though it is that good) !  We all hear what we want to hear .  So just because some gives a show a good review , or a flawed review ,  pick what you can afford  There all excellent,if you don't like it give it to a friend, or sell it .  There's always a dead head that want it , (like me )  I just can't sell any of mine.


title: Great  needs a extra  filler

text: Excellent music  could put a little  filler on these dicks, nice mix though


title: Very classic early 1970-71 DEAD ,VARY VERY GOOD SERVICE BY SELLER

text:
Soooo... Happy  this show rocks ,it was history of the dead Bo didn't know he was one of the fathers of the grateful dead !
Nor did the dead know that the academy of music was the father , of Europe  72 ! ,and finally the  seller was great ,on time and factual .
Very happy with the condition . CK


title: Historically  a must for fans of the early dead

text: I wish you and I where there love the different versions ,the change in tempo ,the young vioces


title: Great collection of live shows and unreleased and alternative tracks

text: As a long time fan of Uriah Heep I was pleasantly surprised to discover this package. It has some great live concerts and alternative tracks of songs from their first three albums. It is a bargain at the price!


title: Close

text: This is not Madonna. It is close enough.<br />Great song selection. Close to Madonna as you can get. The only thing wrong is the number sequence on cd is not in order with cd.


title: Bobby's Girl

text:
I bought this for my husband's 75th birthday in November, so have not actually listened to it yet.  Did not even know it was out there!!!

I was so excited to find it.

We have "Oh, Carol" by Neil Sedaka (me).

Will play it at his party this year, I am sure it will be exactly like I remember it!!!

Also, have "Bobby's Girl" as a tatoo on my shoulder.  We are both Seniors...and having fun!!!

Thank you, Carol St. John

title: 4-disc tour de force!

text:
It's not much of a secret that Led Zeppelin (and the whole heavy metal genre that arose in the group's wake) had their roots deep in the blues, and there are several sets like this on the market that explore those roots, collecting source 78s and performances that influenced the band, whether they were acknowledged or not (anyone who thinks that Robert Plant and Jimmy Page actually wrote that line about lemons and squeezing them really needs to check out a set like this one). The Zep had collective good taste, though, and any compilation that has old blues classics like Booker White's "Fixin' to Die Blues," Leadbelly's "Gallis Pole," Memphis Minnie's "When the Levee Breaks," and Sleepy John Estes' "Girl I Love, She Got Long Curly Hair," as this one does, is well worth a listen. But the real highlights of this disc are the final two tracks, "Psycho Daisies" and "Dazed & Confused." The former was the B-side of the Yardbirds' single "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago," recorded late in that group's legacy when both Page and Jeff Beck were members (Beck actually takes a rare vocal turn on the track), and it exhibits a fun, hard sound that somewhat prefigures where Zeppelin would do on their debut album in 1969. The version included here of "Dazed & Confused" is from 1968 and it is fascinatingly sung and performed by the man who wrote it, Jake Holmes. In Zeppelin's hands it morphed a bit, pumped up on metal DNA, but Holmes' version is the obvious blueprint. Play this set and then listen to Zeppelin's Atlantic debut immediately after it. It's all clear. Nothing comes out of thin air. ~ Steve Leggettt

title: Most surprising and diverse!

text: Harris' final album with longtime producer (and husband) Brian Ahern is among her most surprising and diverse, perhaps the closest she's ever come to a straightahead rock LP. Among the unusual cover choices: Johnny Ace's "Pledging My Love" and Donna Summer's "On the Radio.


Oh my God!  Listening right now, and I couldn't help but to write a review!  The level of musical conversation and improvisation on this recording is astounding!  A duo setting of just McShann on piano and Tate on tenor, with neither hogging the spotlight.  McShann sets the rhythm, lays the bass, and keeps the tempo all with ease; while also changing keys and venturing off into solo flights of tremendous spontaneity.  Tate also plays with relaxed assurance, and matches McShanns' creativity in his own soaring solos.  He produces such a beautiful, full Texas tone; perfectly suited for ballads, but also creating a good deal of heat.

Two under-rated giants, at the top of their game, and a beautiful recording.  May it never be issued on cd!  Truly, a match made in heaven!

Steven Havenner


title: Reflection and introspection by the Master

text: This 1965 collection of autumnal compositions, arranged and conducted by Gordon Jenkins, shows Sinatra looking back on his life and marveling quietly over his loves and losses. The mood is one of reflection and introspection. Even though he would go on recording for decades to come, Sinatra was at a point in his life where he had enough history behind him for 19 men, and his experiences come out in the heartfelt renderings of the songs here.While SEPTEMBER OF MY YEARS is best known for the wry, bittersweet "It Was A Very Good Year," there's much more to this album. The title song is an evocative summing up of the excesses and naivete of youth, leading up to the hard-earned wisdom of middle age. Kurt Weill's haunting "September Song" finds Sinatra making fine use of his storytelling abilities in service of an older man's cautionary tale. Upon this album's release, it was obvious that Sinatra still had many very good years to come.


title: Wonderfully eclectic music!

text:
I saw the ARQ, first time, at a small bar in North Carolina....I went with a friend who had previously seen them. He told me...'this might be the best band you've ever seen'.....He was right!

I was blown away, to say the least. If you are a fan of 'jam bands' or fusion, or a rock musician, this will be a gem in your CD collection. I would tell my friends that the cats in ARQ are 'the BEST at what they play'...and I would challenge anyone to listen to the disc and dispute this. Jimmy Herring on the guitar is like a Steve Morse clone and is freakin' killing on his solos...Oteil Burbridge is a bass GOD, Matt Munday (where'd you go?) doubles J. Herring on mandolin (yes, MANDOLIN!) and Apt. Q holds it all together with his behemoth groove on drums. I saw the Dave Matthews band open up for ARQ and was sad for DMB as they couldn't compare, (and I like DMB).
This disc stands on it's own, and serves as a good stepping off point to follow the careers of some extraordinary musicians.


title: With guests Suzy Bogguss and Riders in the sky

text:
What I particularly appreciate about this album is that it is radically different from any Christmas album I've come across, yet it is an extremely entertaining album (albeit slow to get going) that might appeal to some people who wouldn't normally listen to country music in general or cowboy music in particular.

The inspiration for this album was a particularly severe blizzard that hit New Mexico in 1990. Michael's family was snowed in. Power and water supplies were cut. So it was, in many ways, an old-fashioned Christmas more like those of the nineteenth century. Michael wanted to recapture some of that spirit in his music. The album is programmed so the first nine tracks are about Christmas on the range, while the remaining ten tracks are about Christmas at the dance.

Christmas on the range begins with three spoken poems, two of them against a background of carols. In each case, Michael sings a few lines of the carol before Waddie Mitchell narrates the poem. Starting this way, the album seems slow to get going but, with the poems out of the way, the music takes over. Next comes Christmas on the line, a nice ballad. Then the tempo picks up as we get the first of several appearances by Suzy Bogguss on the medley of Sleigh ride and Jingle bells. The Christmas trail, a cover of Merry Texas Christmas you all (Ernest Tubb), a cover of Riding home on Christmas eve (Riders in the sky, featuring the group) and Corn water and wood (co-written by the brilliant songwriter, Wendy Waldman) complete the first part of the album.

Christmas at the dance is the most exciting part of the album, with several brilliant medleys. Christmas cowboy style and Pearls in the snow are great original songs, while there is a wonderful cover of Log cabin home in the sky (Incredible string band).
Cowboy Christmas ball is a song that Michael originally recorded for a various artists Christmas collection, A Christmas tradition, in the eighties. He re-recorded it for this album but it is even more exciting now, with help from Riders in the sky and Suzy Bogguss. Two-step round the Christmas tree is a song that Suzy co-wrote with her husband, Doug Crider. This version is a duet between Suzy and Michael, although Suzy has also recorded two solo versions of the song (first for Capitol and more recently for her own Christmas album). The dance ends with a brief Goodnight ladies followed by a poem narrated to the tune of auld lang syne.  Review by Peter Durward Harris

title: NICE

text: thats my girl


title: Excelente...pero falto algo!

text: Me encanto el video de este formidable concierto de Miguel Poveda. Desafortunadamente no incluyeron el tema que, para mi, fue su mejor interpretacion de esa noche..."Y Sin Embargo Te Quiero". Una lastima, pero lo pueden ver en youtube pues SARAO Films lo pudo escatar.....


title: Awsome bolero jazz!

text: Great CD!!!! Awesome selection of themes. Recorded live at Upstairs Vitello's Jazz Club in Studio City, Cal.<br />A must have for jazz and bolero lovers. Candi Sosa and Victor Cegarra....an outstanding musical production.


title: Some of the best old Country music

text: Great country / bluegrass that has inspired a lot of later artists.  The harmony arrangements of the Louvin Bothers recordings are excellent.  This package covers most of their best music.  The CD sound quality is very good.


title: Ex. Cd

text: One song they mis spelled instead of Polk salad Annie they have pork salad annie


title: If u dont like what u order  then send it back !!!

text: Any album KANSAS  has made  has been worth waiting for i have all there best of  and  there Box sets and they r all GREAT !!!! and no matter what they make  its always  been  GREAT!!!  this 2 cd set is great also .  guys thank u for all the great music u given us !!  Peter Vasky


title: A thoroughly refreshing take on metallic jazz

text: Metallic jazz? Yeah, that's what comes to my mind. Not jazz progressions with metal guitars, but a jazz mentality with a hard rock taste. Instead of progressions ala trad jazz, you have some serious riffs upon which you have a talented trio rippin it up and tearing it down. Jedd Haas, the guitarist in this power trio, wrote all the originals here, and the band turns in a sweet cover of Bill Frisell's classic "Strange Meeting". The songs are completely instrumental, and like Freddie King's instrumentals of yore, they serve the song in ways lyrics can't. These aren't loose jams, these are tight songs with themes upon which three energetic musicians jam their asses off.<br />Now...why three stars? Because there's less than a half-hour of music here, and above all else, my copy is on a cd-r. That leaves me with an unsettled feeling as to whether it was burned or pressed. I don't want to have to buy this record again because my first copies' burn pattern eroded. As for the music...five star quality in composition and performance. Hope to hear more from them in the future.


title: Delivered fast

text: Great cd's


title: Great Music, Short Album

text: Bought to listen to in the car (my car is old and has a cassette player) and I love the music. My only complaint is that it’s over too soon.


title: Just wondering if the remastered version is any better than the bad original lol recording?

text: I just wanted to say that the original album when it first came out was never a very good sounding live recording which always bummed me out because it could have sounded so much better,so I am wondering if the remastered version is any better than the original bad recording.


This CD had been somewhat hard to find, up until its recent re-release this winter. Good sound quality and a great night captured on disc. Packaging is excellent and it's hard to go wrong with such great songs from George.


title: Excelente disco

text:
"Corazón Sangrante" es probablemente la mejor producción musical de Astrid Hadad. El disco no contiene momentos débiles y es alegre y agradable al oído. Si tienes que comprar sólo un CD de Astrid, que sea "Corazón Sangrante".

NOTA: La edición actual del disco contiene los temas en un órden distinto al siguiente:

1. La Sombra Negra

2. Mata Que Dios Perdona

3. ¿Qué Viste?

4. María Cristina

5. Qué Padecimiento

6. Amor Fingido

7. Corazón Sangrante

8. Tanta Vanidad

9. Lágrimas Negras

10. Babalú

11. Cuerpo Sin Alma

12. Una y Otra Vez

13. Desdén

14. Camina Como Chencha


title: Electric Shocks

text: This was a brilliant album by Roger Ruskin Spear, and in the same way Fawlty Towers is more consistently funny than Monty Python, so it is with this album compared to those of the Bonzo Dog Band, of which Roger was a part.  Every song is a classic.


title: Great collection!

text: 5 classic recordings in one set, for a great price.  Shipping took a few weeks, but I knew that upfront so it wasn't a big deal. A couple of these are getting hard to find and prices are skyrocketing, so it's a great deal.  Each cd comes in it's own cardboard sleeve like a mini vinyl.  There are no album insert/booklets, but if you're looking for uncompressed wave quality recordings, this is a great deal!!  Very Hsppy with this purchase.

text: This is absolutely one of the best indie chillwave albums in existence. Great to listen to on a sunny day, on the beach, or just chilling.


title: Return item

text: Disc was scratched apparently because it skips while playing. Would like to return for a refund and I will order something else.


title: Hard to find

text: Origional


title: SO WORTH IT.

text: I simply adore this recording more then the London or the Australian. I don't know or speak German, but this recording is spectacular and was worth the money. Like the Australian this is a live recording. The orchestra has a full, lush sound, I would say better then the London, way better then the Australian. A lot more of the show is recorded in this 2 CD set, including a good amount of speaking parts before each song. The cast sounds fantastic. Annemieke Van Dam (Mary Poppins) is by far my favorite …..next to Julie Andrews. Annemieke has a warmth in this recording that the others are missing. David Boyd (Bert) adds humor to the role (even in German) bring his Bert closer to Dick Van Dyke's version of Bert. Hearing this recording only makes one wish you could see this version in person. Fans must have this recording in their collections! Hit the buy now button and let yourself be charmed by this wonderful German recording of 'Mary Poppins'.  I will happily add this to my other German cast recordings.<br />Bonus: Very fast shipping from Germany.


title: Fast shipping

text: Great fan of the Movie


title: Interesting, but overrated

text: This is certainly one of the more creative efforts to emerge from the late '60s scene, blending a variety of folk, psychedelic and pop styles. Yet the disc simply doesn't live up to the lavish praise critics have heaped on it since its reissue. There are too few hooks, and the production sounds both too slick for its time and outdated for this time. Witness the Herb Alpert-style horns and the kind of string arrangements that turned people off of The Doors' "Soft Parade." If you're looking for a forgotten masterpiece from this era, you're better off searching out Quicksilver Messenger Service or Moby Grape.


Having only listened to it for a week, it hasn't helped my chocolate addiction so far.  However, I have tried several hypnosis CD's and this one is the only one that I really like.  The voice is relaxing, the background is soothing and listening to the sleeping track puts me to sleep very well.  I typically wake up at around 3 and worry about everything but I don't on nights when I listen to this.  Even if it never helps me with the chocolate addiction I will still listen to it just for the sleep I get.

title: Fantastic Audio Drama

text: This is a fantastic and very entertaining series of audio dramas. We have Seasons One through Three. My son is enthralled by the stories and as his dad and mom, we are very glad his imagination is being fired up with wholesome adventure stories that are building into his spiritual life. Because they are creatively packaged, I found these CDs to also be great Christmas gifts for friends and family.


title: Jewell Case Protector

text: Arrived timely and in great shape. Easy to snap on and very pretty. These are not stones that can loosen but look like they are. I've already dropped it a few times and the case is still fine.


title: disapointed

text: when I read a review of this c.d. it sounded great,however I was disappointed in it,it was not what I expected after reading the review,no fault of the band,but the reviewer did'nt know what he was talking about,


title: Fantasti-Quo

text: Im not a hardcore fan of Status Quo, but i must admit this is a real treasure for rock fans of boogie-blues-rock style. It worths every buck you spend. The DVD is also great with a lot of stuff really enjoyable. So, either if you are a hardcore fan or a casual fan, this is for you. It gives you a great overview of Quo's entire career, including the pre-Quo era. Highly recommended. The booklet has a lot of info and amazing pics. Status Quo and BBC, what a great combo.


title: raw yet brilliant

text: This album consists of raw doom metal with a heaviness that would make kirk windstien smile. Yes... one could make a crowbar comparison based on the heaviness and a similarity in some of the riffing as well. This is a more traditional doom metal sound though. I must also point out that this album has one of my favorite singers (yes... actual singing!)in krista van-guilder. Her powerful bluesy vocals are quite appropriate for this style of music. Her vocal melodies ride on top of her bludgeoning riffs (that's right... she plays all guitars on this) to great effect, although, there are some parts that sound like they weren't worked out properly before recording them. This easily rivals most of what people consider to be the ultimate doom albums. Krista left the band after this one so this is a "one of a kind" situation here. I'm never letting go of this one!!! The band's second album sounds too derivative of sleep's work for me to consider as their own sound as well as the new vocals being a very generic "growlspeak" style. Oh well... at least this first album was as impressive as it is original.


title: brilliant in spite of itself

text: This falls into the category of what I personally refer to as "goof grind".This fist OLD album is NOTHING like the other albums that they would later release.I hesitate to call this a concept album but it does meet the requirements. It's basically a whole bunch of wonderfully blasty songs about the life and times of the elderly woman.The beauty of this album lies in it's "youthful exuberance".It's precisely what made that first megadeth album so amazing.Much like megadeth's "killing is my business"... this one also has that feel of "To hell with precision, let's just grind away and capture our songs the way that they come out!" The vocals are an almost "proto-blackened" style (along with the occasional old lady immitation) that works great with these deliciously immature grind songs. Earache practically refuses to re-issue this! Apparently... earache re-issued the spazztic blurr (also recommended)album on cd at someone's request and they have been stuck with most of the copies sitting around their offices ever since. Good luck getting one at a decent price!

title: Schenker Loses touch with reality

text: This album is by far the absolute worst release EVER from the "Mad Axeman" Leif Sundin's vocals are flat and boring and Schenker's songwriting is a complete disaster on this release. There are no "standout" tracks at all. I've had this album since it's original release and I think it's a waste of space but if you are into collecting cd's by Schenker as I am you will want this just to have your collection complete but it's not even worth my time to take it out of the case and put it into my cd player. I have better albums to listen to. Hell, I'll even put in a Britney Spears cd before this junk and that's saying quite alot!

title: I can't believe what I read there

text: I think Victor Young is one of the greatest American film music composers and I own many of his scores on CD. I watched and enjoyed his music for SHANE. However, I remember having bought  this CD at the time of its release and was so disappointed with the lousy sound quality that I tried to sell it back. I didn't succeed and finally put this thing in the garbage. No regret. The tree stars rating is for the music heard in the movie, the La La Land release would deserve a maximum of two in my view.

title: The Best Way to Hear These Legendary Recordings in Quad

text:
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I love this disc and would strongly recommend it.

For this disc, contrary to the implications of the other review, this disc is original quadraphonic recordings from the 70s, the Rachmaninoff being released as RCA ARD1-0031 and the Saint-Saens/Falla being R4C 2009 (the latter being the cover used for this CD/SACD).  As for being manipulated, these are the original quadraphonic recordings from back in the day, transferred directly by UK-based Dutton to SACD without further manipulation.  Dutton has been in the classical release game for a long time (I've been a fan of their CD of Barbirolli's Mahler 1, originally on Pye, for instance), and their expertise shows in this release.

The performances are pretty much legendary at this point, so I won't spend excessive time on them; my suspicion is that if you're buying this disc you know that Rubinstein was in his twilight years, with occasional slips of technique being more than compensated for by a sense of musicality and familiarity with these scores.  I believe Rubinstein had known all three composers represented on these discs, and had recorded all these pieces before - what you're hearing is all that experience poured into recording form.  The Philadelphia Orchestra and Ormandy were on their home turf here - Ormandy had a long close relationship with Rachmaninoff himself, and the other pieces were very much in his wheelhouse.

Of course, you're really buying this for the sound and to hear these recordings in quad.  On that front, the Dutton SACD accurately represents the quad LP sound, only with greater clarity and range.  The one caveat for this disc is that the original quad mix was always a bit distant and yet active at the same time - cranking up the volume helps a lot, but this recording is never going to be an audiophile classic.  It is however a classic recording musically, and if you want to hear the quad version of this recording in the best quality it is ever likely to be in, get this disc.

title: Let down

text: Received the album it plays good but it is warped this should have been in the description


title: They may not be vampires...

text:
If you have not heard of Laethora, you are not alone.  I was scanning a popular metal review website when I saw something that made me stop to read.  It wasn't, as I came to find out, an article about a certain melodeath band that rhymes with Lark and Quillity, but a death metal band called Laethora.

At this point, I was already intrigued.  Let it be noted that Laethora does NOT resemble the aforementioned band, other than the fact that one Niklas Sundin plays guitar for the band.  The review was a glowing one, but being a sucker for DT, I decided to go check them out.  Their musical style blew me away.

Laethora plays a certain brand of modern death metal that has some sweet atmospheric underpinnings.  I would compare thier sound to Miseration, although they are not quite as brutal as said band.  Let me be clear that these atmospheric moments that underlay raw death metal sound are not done with keyboards, but with guitars.  It must be (if you'll forgive the expression) Sundin's time in the light.

As far as the rest of the sound, this doesn't have all that much in common with tech death, either, which I admit, was what I was looking for.  They play blast beats, but these blast beats are not so numerous as to overtake the album.  The melodies are noticeable, but are not the center of attention.

This music sounds very raw, but that does not mean it was underproduced.  Other reviews were going on and on about how loud and heavy this band is.  They are indeed heavy, but there are more brutal bands out there.  The vocals on this album sound very average for death metal and seem to stray into grindcore land pretty often.  Then again, it is the music we all listen to, is it not?  I'm not saying the vocals on this album are bad, they are just average.  They don't knock your socks off but they don't make you sick, either.

What else is there to say?  Oh, yeah that.  The cover art is awesome.  It looks like a headless vampire in a long trench coat wandering through the fog.  I like it.

If you don't know about Laethora, it is time to get on board.  This is a great album.  Even if you can't stand DT, you'll find something you like on this album, and I'll gaurantee it.  The Light in Which We all Burn gets a toasty 4.4/5 stars. Very original stuff.  You won't be disappointed.


title: The best Death Metal CD You never heard

text: This is without a doubt 1 of the 10 heaviest CD's ever produced. It is 25 minutes of pure anger. It's just as pissed off as anything Billy Milano/S.O.D ever produced. The sound is downtuned (but not muddy) & punishing (almost Hardcore like). This is not for speed freaks into grindcore (it's not very fast), it just beats you into submission with its unrelenting brutality. The CD is only 25 minutes long, but you almost feel exhausted after listening to it, 25 minutes is the perfect length.  This is break-the-mold death metal that has staying power. After reading Terrorizers review of this (5 stars by the way) I stopped in at Rock-N-Roll Plus (RIP) on South Street (Philly) & bought it - 10+ years later, I can't figure out why it never caught on ... hell, Cradle of Filth are still around & they've always sucked. Anyway, at the ripe old age of 26, I found myself tossing out my metal CD's, moving on to older jazz fusion & groovy rock albums. I gave up my Borknagar and Haunted cd's for Miles Davis, the Aquarium Rescue unit & Frank Zappa (my all time favorite), but of the 10 or so metal Cd's I still come back to, this is tops - and it's still perplexing that it never caught on, it is that good.

title: black version missing the transparent photocard

text: Beautiful album, beautiful music. Got photocards of each member but the transparent photocard that is supposed to come with the black version is missing. So in total I got 8 photocards not 9.


title: I expect the cd that I ordered to be brand new,  no scratches and to play perfectly.

text: I like this cd because it is the music that I listen to.  I already had this cd but I had a new car stereo put in & the cd player refused to eject my cd & kept saying cd error so I had to send the stereo back for a replacement.

For pediatric nurses everywhere (especially School Nurses) this CD advocates the importance of the role of adults in helping children in our society to become all that they can be. If the author reads this, please contact me as I would like permission to utilize it!


title: Standout Boyz

text: We saw these guys live at the Kappa Alpha house at Millsaps College in jackson, MS.  They were awesome.  They did two songs and then skeched out and smoked rocks on the porch.  One more song and they were gone.  I thought I'd never hear about them again and then I saw "Standout Boyz" at Bebop records for $4, so I had to get it.  It was so worth it... even for the only TWO tight tracks.  These guys have potential... if only they could put the pipe down and maybe forgive Jeck G....


title: Excellent rendition of complete Sibelius symphonies

text: I had not heard of this symphonic Finnish orchestra before I bought the CD set but the conductor and the players capture the essence of Siebelius's evocative sound in every movement. I would recommend this set to anyone who enjoys listening to Sibelius.


title: Checking out!

text: Sounds like they had a blast making this album. Just as fun for the listener.


title: Loved it!

text: What's not to love?!!!


title: Beautiful acoustic guitar

text: I was first introduced to Arnold Mitchem when I bought his other album "Mojave Moon" on an impulse.  It's so good, I wanted more and picked this one up as well.  It is much mellower than Mojave Moon, many pieces being simply a solo on the acoustic guitar.  There is also much more of a Native American influence on this album.  Mr. Mitchem's guitar playing is absolutely beautiful, a genuine pleasure to listen to.  The pieces are soothing and make me feel like I'm relaxing in warm dry weather in the desert southwest.  If you enjoy instrumental music with some depth, get this album!


title: Best self-published album ever

text: I stumbled upon this cd at a listening station at the gift shop in the Living Desert in Palm Desert, CA.  The style is somewhere between southwestern flamenco (similar to Ottmar Liebert, but much better), acoustic guitar jazz (similar to Acoustic Alchemy, but again better), and new age-ish (like Mike Oldfield, and on par with his best).  I bought it on an impulse, and to this day it is still one of my all time favorite albums.  It's really tragic that someone like Arnold Mitchem, who A). composes better music than most commercially successful acts, and B). plays the guitar beautifully, has gone almost completely undiscovered.  The sixth track "The River" is truly a standout.  If you get a chance to get a copy of this, do so.  And Mr. Mitchem, if you read this, please make more music like this!

text: R2H had us captivated the entire drive! It was so neat to hear about the history and uniqueness of each stop as we traveled there. We would have missed SO many breathtaking stops (and YUMMY treats) if not for this guide! It even helped with time planning so we would have the perfect amount of time left to hike and enjoy the back drive home of Hana. Can't say enough about how great this guide is!! A must have if driving the road to Hana!


title: The Most Mystical Journey of Your LIFE!

text: Okay so the Road Hana is awesome and I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Maui.  However, I feel that this CD did not help the ride.  While it does have some useful information, I feel that the commentary builds up each stop in an unrealistic manner.  Your expectations get built up so high that each destination seems dull compared to the described experience.  In fact I found that the stops that were downplayed were the most surprising and spectacular, while the ones the CD built up were over-crowded and stressful.  The CD does have nice music and the stops are essential for understanding where you can stop and where you cannot.

text: Great to have on our first trip to Maui! A nice insider to which mile markers are worth the stop. It was worth the purchase just don't get confused at the beginning like we did, it gives a run through of the mile markers before it begins the actual tour, which at first we thought we may had missed some.

title: Still The Best Version Of This Tricky Symphony

text:
I have owned a version of this recording since I found it on LP years ago. It was my introduction to Bruckner's Sixth Symphony, which was not played very often anywhere at the time. It is still something of a stepchild at the concert hall. It was a revelation then to discover this great piece of music, so uncharacteristically upbeat and triumphant. I have always regarded it as Bruckner's Eroica. It may be the most personal of all Bruckner's works. I often think that one day he got up and out of the opposite side of the bed and had great positive feelings that left him later on.
There is basically only one edition of the Sixth, so you don't need to worry about versions.
Joseph Keilberth was a German conductor during WWII. He survived to 1965 when he died conducting on the podium. His career was mostly in Europe. The recording of his Ring Cycle at Bayreuth was unearthed and highly praised long after his death. I gather he was no glamor guy like von Karajan.  More importantly, Keilberth plays this symphony naturally and energetically, like he had lived with it for a long time and loved it. That helps. No phrase is taken for granted or played on autopilot. The sound has held up remarkably well. It is true early stereo, and the Berlin Philharmonic plays like the great orchestra it was then.
After hearing the many, many other renditions (25 plus) that have followed, and concert performances that have followed (Salonen gave a splendid one at Disney Hall in 2007 when this review was first written,) I still go back to the Keilberth as the benchmark. Others have their advocates, but this is still the yardstick for me. Yes, it is a symphonic boa constrictor as Brahms dubbed Bruckner's symphonies, but a very nice one that does not play itself. Many, like Klemperer and Jochum and Haitink and Blomstedt, come very close, but it is surprising in how many hands the needed inspiration can flag and sag.  I have heard the Bernstein NYP live  performance recording and surprise, surprise it was not bad. Sorry he did not make a studio recording. Some Brucknerians like Van Beinum, Giulini, and others steered clear of it. Several others should have. You cannot just beat time through the 6th. There is something going on in Bruckner's symphonies that is difficult to define and more challenging to bring off. More modern conductors get Mahler "right" than Bruckner. Why is that? The sixth for some reason is more of a challenge  than say 3,4,7, and 9.
This version goes in and out of the catalogue and may be hard to find. Survey reviews of the best version of the 6th often overlook it. They shouldn't.
Buy it and enjoy! I hope it never goes out of the catalog again.


title: A veteran (and venerable) version reappears in the digital era

text: Those who are attuned to modern performances that include period instruments, double-dotting, Baroque phrasing, and counter-tenors may be horrified by this old version recorded in London in 1958. Listening again to it, which was my first introduction to a reasonable complete version of this remarkable masterpiece which is played to death every year, I am struck by how good it remains. The Czech emigre Walter Susskind must have been a surprising choice to conduct this at the time, given all the native talent sitting around England in those days who had this in their blood. He's no John Eliot Gardiner, Christopher Hogwood or Neville Marriner, but he was persuaded to clear away decades of Victorian accreditions to the score, reduce the choral bloat and pick up the pace somewhat. (it will still strike modern ears as on the slow side, although not perversely so. ) Certainly the London Philharmonic and Chorus as well as chorusmaster Frederic Jackson, knew this piece like the back of their hands. What is really remarkable is the participation of a very audible harpsichord and a discreet baroque organ ground that captures the style sufficiently  to warrant its reappearance. The four soloists are really first rate. Soprano April Cantelo (the first Mrs. Colin Davis, Contralto Helen Watts who may hold the record for performances this work, Tenor Wilfred Brown (a name less well known to me) and Bass Roger Stalman a name known hardly at all, compete well with other quartets who have commited their performances to record. Pye, which recorded this originally, was a bargain-basement concern from the early days of stereo who snagged talent like Sir John Barbirolli and Adrian Boult and John Pritchard for other projects on the cheap when Britain was still recovering from the War. Given that, it is surprising this turned out as well as it did. It has been recycled many times over the years, but I still have great fondness for it. This iteration lists all the participants, often omited. It has the texts and a general history of the work. The sound has cleaned up very well. I know some modern recordings that don't come across as vividly. I wish the packaging did it more justice. I looks like the Walmart Double Discount version, but one can't everything,  particularly at the advertised bargain price. I was happy to be reunited with this old and beloved friend. I think there are others who may feel the same way. Not for purists or lovers of more caffeinated renditions, but for those who want a kinder, gentler experience.

text: Petrucci's debut solo effort takes the listener on a journey through musical soundscapes with his signature shredding combined with melodic compositions that are sure to delight his Dream Theater fans, as well as new listeners. "Suspended Animation" spotlights the brilliance of Dreg's bassist Dave LaRue and drummer Dave DiCenso who lay down an incredibly thick rhythm foundation for John's guitar acrobatics. Petrucci's mix of insanely intricate guitar riffs, brilliant songwriting and instinctive sense of melody has earned him praise and respect in the international guitar community. With legions of rabid fans that consider him the new guitar icon for the 21st century, John's compositions and playing on "Suspended Animation" represents a razor edged rediscovery of the limitless boundaries of the electric guitar.There's a little something for almost everyone in here including slow stuff, fast stuff, solos, fresh melodies, shredding heavy enough to incite headbanging -  definitely something fans of most genres can enjoy.


title: Listen with focus.

text: Circus sounds smoothly blended with organ and electronic music. Too bad there is no digital version- just used vinyl record


title: the music hunter

text: This one should definitely be an MP3 download. Cerebral, yet riveting - truly Sanborn's best montage of the spirit uplifted.

title: Third Rate Oi!

text: Im a big fan of the Oi! genre, any time an Oi band play in my area I make a point of getting along to the gig.The glory days of Oi may have passed, but in the last 15 years the scene has produced many excellent bands such as Retaliator,The Corps, London Diehards and Marching Orders to name a few, non of them seem to get mentioned in the mainstrem British Music press,but every time Hard Skin release a CD they get reviewed by segments of mainstream music press.If you dont know the modern Oi scene You could be excused for thinking that Hard Skin are the best band that the scene has to offer, when in reality they aren't fit to lace the Docs of the Oi bands I mentioned earlier. If there was a no star option for this album I would have opted for it as some of the songs on this disc like  Two Bob C*#t, sausage man and Another Terraced anthem are just down right rotten and things get worse when the female sings. Truly terrible !


title: Do You Have a Blood one ?

text: This CD is limited with Handle-cracks and a few Blood-Handle - Cracks from good old Folke Jensen. He made the never played Symphonies. AMOK is a right said; take it in one breath with Gerty Molzens - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me ; Germany`s 12 " Part 2 .it should have been played at The Warhol Factory 77, but the songs were written 4 years later.
