title: A Staple of Low Comedy

text:
Wagner was the George Lucas of his day, cribbing bits and pieces of authentic legends into a confused mish-mash of, in his case, fantasy opera, as Lucas later did in space opera.  Wagner was the apotheosis of the Central European late-Romantic tradition's devolution into pure bombastic excess.  As music could not develop further in this direction, in the 20th Century composers turned their backs on Wagner's overblown emptiness, freeing themselves to explore serialism, atonality, minimalism, ambient sound, and other previously unthinkable techniques.

The "Ring" cycle has since become a staple of low comedy, with the large, screaming blonde women in horned helmets, and the expression "it ain't over until the fat lady sings" (what impatient spectators were told while sitting through interminable "Ring" performances).  In "What is Art," Tolstoy gives an outstanding review of an early "Ring" production that may be the funniest piece he ever wrote.  His insight is remarkable - it's easy to make fun of Wagner today, but at the time Tolstoy saw it, the "Ring" was considered to be the highest art imaginable.  My idea of the ideal "Ring" would have all of the characters dressed as clowns, with Larry David as Seigfried, Rosie O'Donnell as Brünnhilde (lip-syching to vocals by Yoko Ono), and Justin Bieber as Alberich.  There should be plenty of pie throwing, banana peels, and eye poking á la The Three Stooges.  With the special effects available today, it should also be possible to show someone skiing through a chain-link fence and turning into a pile of ice cubes on the other side.

Suffering through the marathon of an entire "Ring" performance can be of value only to specialists in the history of music or obsessed completists.  Castorf's recent production at Bayreuth in honor of Wagner's 200th birthday was roundly booed by the audience.


title: Academic and expressive

text: Alfred Brendel is probably the most knowledgeable Beethoven interpreter that we have seen in the past half century along with Richard Goode. It also helps that he is a phenomenal pianist and chamber musician. When listening to these performances I got a sense of a warmer more intimate ideal for the works, not everywhere, it was as soloistic as these need to be, but the connection between melody and accompaniment was very well balanced right on par with Fleisher and Szell. Levine gives the music everything it needs and the Chicago Symphony plays wonderfully. The live recording gives these works a wonderful atmosphere and the audience is reverently silent. If you want to seek out individual performances of these concertos by all means do it but for a box set of them all I would recommend this as well as his more recent with Rattle, as well as Fleisher and Arrau. All of them are wonderful however this is by far the best live recording of these works. Highly recommended


title: Not even close to the quality of 21 and 25.

text: Normally, I love Adele.  There are a couple great songs here. Most of it sounds like a self-therapy session; most of the songs lack melodies and substance, other than self-pity.


title: the chair

text: This album came out around 1964. It was band from the radio because of the song the chair. I tried for years to find a copy of it and finely give up. I came across to copies of it last year and bought both of them. I feel this album is a must for any Marty Robbins fan.


title: Five Stars

text: great


title: As great as Eternal was, Oppressing is even better, wow!!!

text: If you loved Eternal Nightmare, and Vio-lence, this is a must have! Not only does this retain the guts, and aggressiveness of Eternal Nightmare, but this release is more refined, and organinzed, with big record label polish. Clearly, the band has matured, and has focused more on musical structure here, instead of just a crazy thrash onslaught. This release focuses more on song writing, song structure, and maturity. This is an amazing follow up to Eternal Nightmare, and is better! Again, like Eternal Nightmare, this is start to finish just a blast to listen to! I absolutely love it! It's a shame it didn't make the band bigger, as they are clearly talented. Songs like: I Profit, World in a World, and Mentally Afflicted just tear the roof off of a building!

title: supremely, wittily accomplished

text: There are at least five CD editions of this partial reworking in the French idiom of the composer’s brilliant Italian original, “Il viaggio a Reims,” the French version being as much a showpiece for the ensemble as for the individual singers.  Each of the six singers here – all French -- displays elegant vocalism, charm and wit. The high-lying title role is a test for any tenor, but its considerable technical hurdles are easily surmounted (OK, in a few instances avoided) by the late Michel Sénéchal, an irrepressibly sly scene-stealer in “character” roles in subsequent years. In fact, all the singers are beyond reproach as regards mechanics and textual clarity. The entire production is under the deft, spirited hand of D.E. Inghelbrecht – a “historical” figure, incidentally a close friend of Debussy in the composer’s final decade and a conductor who led the premieres of many important 20th century French works. There is some orchestral/choral untidiness here, to be expected in a single performance on French radio in 1959, but that adds to fun and realism. The sound is decent mono.


title: Get it while you can

text: The great novelist Stendhal may not be reliable as a biographer of Rossini, but in his eminently readable "life" of the composer he does regard this little known (today) treasure Rossini's "masterpiece in the buffo genre". Whether or not one goes along with that opinion it should at least arouse some interest considering the source.  And it turns out to be a delectably entertaining comedy, treating with deft satirical strokes the roles of critics and journalists, young love, and mistaken identity courtesy of Luigi Romanelli's libretto -- all catnip for Rossini, who serves up his most scintillating quick-tempo crescendos, patter songs, and a few grand arias with plenty of twisty fioriture. The performance, with which I've been familiar for some 20 years, is live -- recorded, exceedingly well, with it would seem, every footfall of the peripatetic cast captured with optimum presence. Which might sound like negative criticism, but in fact contributes to the feeling of actually attending this production at the 1993 Valle d'Itria Festival in Martina Franca, near the heel of the Italian boot. One (this one) assumes the edition presented is heavily cut, but what we have is treasurable. There are three outstanding vocal performances, by the mezzo Sara Mingardo, a few years into a significant European career; tenor William Matteuzzi, a noted tenore di grazia at the time; and a terrific -- in voice and verbal pointing -- basso-buffo named Josè Fardilha. The conductor, Bruno Aprea, leads with irresistible sparkle the endearingly scrappy Graz Symphony and the vibrant Sluk (there's a character with that name, or something close, in another sparkling Rossini rarity, La Cambiale di Matrimonio) Chamber Chorus of Bratislava. Get this recording while it's still around.


title: Del Monaco, Tucci, Gobbi -- an unbeatable trio

text: Del Monaco made at least two studio recordings of the title role: impressive of course, with that great, trumpeting instrument, but without the tonal variety (particularly with Karajan) required to make the character other than a ranting bully. Here, in a 1959 live performance in Tokyo, he is the tormented Moor to the bone: the voice as thrilling as ever, the inflections infinitely more subtle than in the studio, with a good deal of focused soft singing to boot. Tucci, lamentably overlooked by the recording companies, or perhaps she simply didn't like the restraints imposed by studio conditions, is the Desdemona of one's dreams (mine, at any rate): vulnerable, sweet-toned, accurate, never forcing her sound. And this is prime Gobbi: a dangerous, supercilious, vocally rocklike, never quite over the top Iago. Erede leads a crisp, driven performance with a decent chorus and orchestra -- with one lamentable patch for the latter, that eerie cello and double-bass ensemble following Desdemona's "Ave Maria," which is cringe-makingly out of tune here. The overall sound is more than acceptable -- real stereo -- with good enough balance of the vocal-orchestral elements. Audience noise/applause is hardly enough to diminish an overall accomplishment of stunning dramatic impact.

text: Great album!  Big Wheelie & the Hubcaps was THE Rock n Roll band of the 70s in Buffalo.  Not just the 50s schtick -- great musicians who could really sing!

text: I love this cd. Casey Stratton has now become one of my favorite artists. DIVIDE is a gorgeous album that gets better with each listen. Impeccable songwriting, melodies and lyricist. I’ve bought many of his other albums over at Bandcamp which I highly recommend.<br />Fave track: The Wasteland

text: I have the US version of this, but recently purchased an all-region DVD player because I wanted to see the unedited British version. This is a fantastic mini-series, and the unedited British version is much better.

title: Five Stars

text: Loved it


title: Need to pay more attention to purchases

text: The music is good, but very overpriced. I clearly was not paying attention when I ordered this because with the Time Life label, I thought I was getting a huge selection of 70s songs. So go to ITunes and pay 1.29 per song rather than here. The price is 2.50 a song.

title: Loving Mark Lindsay!

text:
I have been looking for this CD from 2003 and finally found a copy here on Amazon.  Bonus:  signed by Magic Mark himself.  I am listening to it right now, and I am having fun, fun, fun.  Mark has done so many awesome songs over the years it has to be hard to pick just 26 to do for a show - but he managed to do the perfect lineup.  It is an eclectic mix and a reminder that Mark Lindsay can sing any genre of music that exists.  At the time of this show Mark was 61 years old.  Mark often says that "rock and roll will keep you young!"  Well, it must be true, because he plays his sax with the lungs of a 19 year old, and when he sings this fine group of songs he still sings like he did at 19.  Add years of performing and this show is polished into a sparkling gem.

The first of this two CD set starts out with a great intro by Dave "Records" Stone - then Mark bursts out of the starting gate with "Peter Gunn".  I have heard many versions of that song since it was the theme for a TV show way back when, but nobody plays the sax like Mark Lindsay.  Many of Mark's huge hits, all the way from the early 60s when he and the Raiders were in the Northwest, through the days of "Where the Action Is" and on into his solo days are here.  Mark rocks it out with favorites like "Steppin' Out" and the ultra sexy "Hungry" that take us back in time and makes us feel like we are in the 60s again.  We even get to hear "Action", the theme for the TV show that introduced the world to the Raiders and made many people run home from school to see it every afternoon. Then he does ballads that are just beautiful - "Little Girl in the 4th Row" (one of the many, many songs that Mark wrote himself) and a classic, "The Way You Look Tonight".  From there he ends the first disc with Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild".

The second disc starts out with one of my favorites which showcases Mark's wonderful and quirky sense of humor, "The Great Airplane Strike".  Mark wrote that and it is so much fun to hear him do it live.  After "Good Thing" we get "Arizona", Mark's hit from his first official solo album.  After "Been Too Long on the Road" (Mark says before the song that this was the first time that he had ever done the song live, and he does it SO well), and after "Cinderella Sunshine" he segues into a bit of Sly and the Family Stone's "Dance to the Music".  After introducing the band we hear "Love Music" and Mark does an all-time favorite, "Indian Reservation".  That song was done on an album as "The Raiders", featuring Mark Lindsay - but it was actually meant to be his first solo.  He decided to include the Raiders even though he recorded it totally on his own - and though they had many top 10s and 40s it was "their" only #1 hit.  Technically, that was Mark's #1 hit, not the Raiders.  Number 8 on the disc is a song that so many think about when they think of the Raiders - "Kicks".  Again, Mark takes us back to the days when music was so much fun.  People say that "Kicks" was the first "anti-drug" song and I had to laugh when I heard Mark say in an interview that when they did it he didn't even know it was about drugs.  That is so funny because ever since I first heard it I didn't realize that either.  Now it makes sense, but even Mark thought it was just about "kicks" in general.  I get my kicks listening to him do it live after all these years, sounding just like the original. Next is his amazing rendition of "Tobacco Road".  This show was on New Year's Eve, so they count down to midnight and Mark sings "Auld Lang Syne" along with the audience.  Mark ends with  "Just Like Me", "Let Me" (he lets out that same familiar scream as he did when he first did this song) and "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone".  Funny thing about "...Stepping Stone" - the Raiders did it first on the album "Midnight Ride", but not on a single.  Their version was given to The Monkees as a demo so they could do the song.  They released it on 45 so it was a hit.  If you listen to both you hear that Mickey Dolenz did it exactly like Mark did, every scream, every little ad-lib that Mark was so good at;  and if you do listen to both, you hear that Mark's version is the best.  There is a brief silence after that last song, but keep listening, as there is a personal message from Mark as track #14.  It's a joy for me just listening to him talk.  He is so articulate and has such a great sense of humor.

Writing this was hard because I wanted to comment in great detail about each and every song on this set, but I know when I am reading a review and the writer gets a bit too verbose I tend to tune out towards the middle or end somewhere.  I will just sum it all up by saying that if you can find a copy of "The Last Midnight Ride" give yourself a treat and buy it.  This set was for sale on Mark's website in 2004 and when they sold out that was it.  Now you can rarely find it, and you'll pay a bit more for it now.  I don't regret one dime.  My only regret is that I was not in Portland that night counting down to midnight with Mark and the audience and then singing "Auld Lange Syne" with Mark.

I am so happy that this was not the true last midnight ride for Mark Lindsay.  The man is timeless.  He has been a singer, musician, writer, producer, executive, DJ and has done just about everything that can be done in the music business - and did it better than anyone else.  His talent, energy, creativity and versatility are endless, and at the time I am writing this, he is 71 years old.  He is still touring and the CD that he released in 2013 is absolutely incredible.  All 14 songs are new and were co-written by Mark and Gar Francis of the Doughboys.  I can honestly say that there is not one song that I don't love on that CD.  Mark said he is working on #s 2 & 3 to make it a trilogy and I can hardly wait for more!  The CD is called "Life Out Loud" and you can find it here at Amazon or at bongoboyrecords online.  If you haven't already get yourself a copy.  Not only is Mark working on his new CDs but he is also still working on his autobiography (I cannot wait for that!) and is writing a Broadway play.  Considering the fact that Mark is a musical genius I will not be a bit surprised if that play hits Broadway and is a huge success.  I do believe that Mark's theory that "rock and roll will keep you young" must be true.  At 71 not only does he perform like the man he was at 25 - but he is also still incredibly handsome.  Rock on, Mark, and feel the love.


title: Edwin Hawkins

text: My son is a music lover and he did not have this CD.  He had been searching for this CD for quite a while.  He even had me looking for it in the stores and online.  Then one day I had decided to look again on Amazon and, there it was.  I was too excited so I ordered it.  This will be my son's Christmas present this year (I'm sure he will be surprised).


title: Illuminating

text: A brilliant sing thing! As a child,I was illuminated by these songs when my brother had a role in a church performance. Since then, it's been a bright spot in my memory. Recently, I was given a CD and expected a letdown after the build-up memory usually gives such things. No letdown at all. The voices are great, and the songs have a current feel to them. The struggles from 1980 remain. I especially enjoy songs like "What Would it be Like"-- A "Breakfast in America" kind of Song, "I'm going to Finish this Song," and "The Lord is my Light". I'd love it if some churches did it again.

title: Jessye Norman - Christmastide

text: Jessye Norman is one of my favorite operatic singers, and when I saw this performance on television, I was moved to tears.<br />The music, with the boys choir in the background, is truly inspirational.


title: Rare Japanese concert - Don't Miss this one!

text:
When these talented young ladies come on stage, their exuberance is contageous.  Camera and sound mixes are mediocre, but the music, smiles, and movement of the girls make up for any technical discontinuities.  The songs, for the most part, are original, but some Western culture sneaks in here and there.

These CD/DVD sets are becoming quite rare, and were not meant to be released to non-Japanese or Chinese markets; not a word of English is on the dust cover, nor the titles of each song that are shown prior to each section or track.

All said, this one is a "keeper;" dont miss it!


title: Pure, raw punk at its finest

text: The songs on this CD were recorded in 1981 & 1982 and capture the early, raw punk energy from that time period very well! I like every song and wonder why I never heard their music anywhere before. I feel like punk this good should be more well known. FYI - it's Eaglebauer from 1979's Rock N Roll High School movie with the Ramones!!

title: The Fire Meets The Fury - Special Limited Edition 1989 tour sample with S.R.V & Double Trouble and Jeff Beck .

text:
I'd been looking out for this Album for a while but it was either too expensive with no international shipping at the time till recently picked it up for a great price and I thought it was supposed to be a live recording but is a promotional disc by CBS Records for the Jeff Beck & Stevie Ray Vaughan 1989 Tour : The Fire Meets The Fury with 16 tracks :

Stand on It 4:56 Jeff Beck - Tightrope 4:37 S.R.V - Going Down 6:49 Jeff Beck -  Pride and Joy 3:40 S.R.V - Guitar Shop 5:00 Jeff Beck - The House Is Rockin' 2:24 S.R.V - Blue Wind 5:53 Jeff Beck - Couldn't Stand The Weather 4:40 S.R.V - Savoy 3:51 Jeff Beck - Crossfire 4:08 S.R.V - Freeway Jam 4:54 Jeff Beck - Look At Little Sister 3:09 S.R.V - Superstition 4:17 Jeff Beck - Superstition 4:46 S.R.V - Beck's Bolero 2:51 Jeff Beck - Willie The Wimp 4:38 S.R.V - 16 Items and 70 minutes long .

Touring with Jeff Beck at the time a 3 piece band Terry Bozzio : Drums & Tony Hymas on Bass and what appears to be one live J.Beck track on this CD : Savoy , half way through the song there's cheering from a crowd and 2 live recordings from S.R.V : Superstition & Willie The Wimp Makes this Special Limited Edition CD a Must Have for Fans & Collectors alike and the only negative thing I can say about this Album just lacks volume : bass & tone on some tracks in comparison to todays recordings however this disc sounded way better after a good clean .


title: Disappointing!

text: How the music was played didn't suit me much. They made a major production out of each group of songs. The introductions were too long and too many songs were squeezed into the album so I couldn't enjoy their melodies for long. Too much pomp and circumstance on every single song. I couldn't relax and listen. If it weren't for the violins and cellos, I would think this was music written for a marching band! All in all - boring!


title: Fabulous player

text: Love the sound and professionalism


title: The Clash of Civilizations

text:
This may well be the movie of the year. Helen Mirren, as just about everybody has rightly noted, turns in another wonderful performance, this time as the restrained "duty first, self second" monarch.  Her particular trial here is having to face a clash of civilizations, not between nations as during World War Two, but now within her own country.  A culture of heroes, of maintaining a stiff upper lip during crises and of "good show, flying colors" as the behavioral ideal, has slowly eroded and been replaced by one of vulgar celebrity and "letting it all hang out." In the middle of this clash stands Tony Blair. He must induce the noble yet now unintentionally comic, because isolated, queen into an awareness of how her society has been "Oprahfied," an insight that would not naturally occur to her since she sees Diana's death as calling for little more than royal privacy and a family removal to Balmoral. Herein lies the movie's subtlety. The high-minded, stoic queen, for all her wit, nonetheless values brute animals more easily, apparently, than she does people. She quickly sees, for example, the beauty of a glorious stag pursued by royal hunters, but has little sympathy for the beautiful Diana pursued by equally murderous reporters.

 As regards Tony Blair, we have equivalent complexity. For all the film reveals of his political opportunism and readiness to take advantage of changed circumstances, for all the emphasis on generational differences between him and the queen, he is allowed by the well-written script to genuinely recognize the queen's essential fineness. His awareness here leads him in an emotionally charged scene to berate some of his own staff in private after they openly express their shameless glee at the queen's discomfort. At the same time as he recognizes that the "duty' agenda of the queen will allow him to talk her into doing what has become in present circumstances "the right thing," he also reveals to us his clear awareness that something fine has been compromised in the process.

title: Heavy...

text:
Stumbled across this one while perusing the Dorobo catalogue. Loggerhead (aka Francois Tetaz and Milton M) have a few tracks that appear on some Dorobo comps. Took a while but finally tracked down their only full release.

It's a startling surprise. Heavy bass experimentation. If I had to draw comparisons I'd lump it together as a Tool, Soundgarden, Bill Laswell kind of hybrid.

Really heavy. Not be the heavy born out of rage but the kind born out of a bunch of educated guys with strong opinions expressing their view by experimenting with noise.

Definitely worth checking out.

P.S. Ignore the Kid's Review below.  Clicked the wrong button...no way to delete.


title: Open your mind to what music is...

I've been a huge fan of the Dorobo label for a long time.  It was through this label that I would come to discover Australian artist Alan Lamb.  Alan Lamb is not your typical musician (he's also a biomedical researcher and General Practitioner) and this is not what you normally would associate with music.

But, just as we can find a beat in the clicking of a gas station pump, rhythm in the hypnotic motion of windshield wipers in the rain or the pulsating pounding of stamping presses, so too is music available all around us.  This album reflects that spirit.

"Lamb's formal investigations of The Wires started in 1976 with his discovery of a 1km stretch of abandoned telephone wires on a farm in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, the 12 telegraph poles and 6 unsheathed wires made a soft "singing" noise.

Lamb called these wires the Faraway Wind Organ, and learnt to record them and later devised compositions with these recordings. Typically, Lamb would spend days to weeks with the wires, sometimes gathering continuous 24-hour recordings that reflect cyclic changes of environmental factors. These recordings led to the sound designers for the Star Wars (George Lucas) films to approach Lamb about how he used The Wires to create pinging laser beam like noises." ([...])

This album is, in essence, the sound of abandoned telegraph wires in the Australia outback making music in the wind.  There is something fascinating, haunting and soothing in these recordings.

Highest recommendation.

title: The best mix of the BTM series...

text:
I have enjoyed all of the Back to Mine series.  All the artists put a different spin on their track selections and the variety is what makes this such a cool series.

Dave Seaman's contribution is unique that I've found.  He has actually created a mix.  The other ones have given us a mix in the sense that it is a variety but not a mix as we think of DJs doing their thing.  His is consistent, down-tempo, chilled out bliss that is seamlessly mixed.  Whereas some of the othres jump around from rap to chill to funky to disco in one mix this one just flows.

There is a great, rumbling bass line running throughout the whole thing and the tunes are dreamy and chilled out bliss.

title: Rich Mullins produced this album

text: I discovered this album by watching the Ragamuffin movie which lead me to watch you tubes of Rich Mullins. The music is of St Francis but renamed St Frank to give it s western flare. I love listening to it!


title: What memories this CD brings to mind...

text: I first heard "Seven Dreams" while with about eight of my classmates.  We were at the what we used to call, "Lover's Lane", overlooking the Missouri river.  Since none of us were actually... dating couples, we went there just to laugh and gossip.  Honest! The radio was on, we were laughing loudly, and suddenly the alarm went off.  We sat in what can only be called, rapt attention, entranced by this new music being played. No one said a word during the entire albums premier. And I suspect few who were in the car have forgotten the 'Seven Dreams.'  I am so glad I finely got up the courage to order from a business on Amazon.  They were prompt as promised, and the price was right.  It is a re-release and therefore brand new. So I bought several more for family and friends. My LP's of the Seven Dreams long ago went to old vinyl heaven.

Superb music. Utterly engaging and zestfully interpreted. Order now!


title: Great Music. Great Enjoyment

text: These gems really deserve to be performed more often. Sumptuous music dashingly played with the greatest of vim and vigor. A must purchase for all serious music cognoscenti.


title: You overlook this recordingto your own loss.

text: Jomemeli is one of the most underrated composers of all time. I am have purchased all his music on cd and am urging him on friends. You will be astonished by the beauty  and gracefulness of this music and this composer.


title: Unimaginable delights await.

text: I have been achingly to hear more by this composeer. If this cd is any indication of Fumagali creativity, genius, capacity to write tender melody, then I encourage you to audtion this cd. Highly encourage purchase Unimaginable delights await.


title: Scintillating

text: Without doubt Giornovichi is the greatest composer I have discovered in 2015. This music is captivating as well as scintillating and one can almost imagine sparks emanating from the violin. If you like the Mozart violin concerti, you will love Giornovichi's more.


Every single concerto on these 2 cds is a heavenly planet unto itself. It is stunning how Albinoni was able to write ream after ream of musical genius without repetition of inspiration yet they all adhere as a whole. A confident purchase for music lovers of all stamps.


title: Glorious music

text: Glorious music. Angelic melodies.  Having listened to this volume---the music was so enchanting--I purchased the remaining 16 in the Complete Set. Imagine that. I look forward every evening to listening to one of these Cds.


title: Elevate his presence in the Musical Pantheon

text: I consider this discovery of the composer Somis, and his music, to be the highlight of this summer's musical exploration. It begs the question that we need to value this composer and his compositions and elevate his presence in the Musical Pantheon.


title: Wonderously wrought

text: I find these sonatas to be noble and notable from every listening point of view. I intent to spend a lifetime listening to these works and seeking out more of Wolfl. His music is addictive: wonderously wrought.


title: Allure and acquire

text: This music is absolutely sublime. I knew nothing about this composer nor his compositions. I was thunder struck by their beauty, power, and allure. I wish I had the means to buy every lover of Classical music this CD. And, moreover, the means to propel this composer's music in the concert hall. Another unfortunate musical casualty. We can change that. One is not taking a chance purchasing this music.

title: Some Russian, some other, but all were stored away in Russia and practically inaccessible.  Cecilia Bartoli did it again!

text:
Cecilia Bartoli is truly amazing.  She had to learn how to sing in Russian and had to obtain permission in Russia to even access this music.

Because of a splendid voice that must restrict itself to what is correct for it...not a Wagnerian huge and aggressive voice....she has selected various venues that are of Classical and earlier periods as that is what a coloratura voice does in range and quality.
This is lovely music.  She is an exquisite singer, as always.

title: Very nice...

text: I had a tape of this from around 1983 or 1984... I am a James Bond freak...and I like the music... this is a stage orchestra presentation, and not the original arrangements for the movies... but a good rendition.... My tape went bad with fading spots...must have been around a magnet or something..<br />  This tape was very good...very clear.... I am very well pleased with it... I play the tape through my Sony Sportsman into a Yahama receiver and 150 watt Infinity speakers... Very Nice....Good price.

text: Love hearing his voice in a different setting, but the new arrangements are not very good or complementary.


title: Excellent!!

text: A must have for all!  Excellent!!!


title: Very amazing!! Although the Album comes with a rip ...

text:
Being noticed this is a second Album of Lay Zhang, another surprised given to me on the design of the cover.  He is very talented in composing all the songs and writing the lyrics himself.  His songs can even draw my attention to listen even though I am not used to hear the rap/hip hop songs.  Very amazing!!
Although the Album comes with a rip on the front and back pages of the Photo, the CD still intact and played well.  Since the photo album is ripped, I have to return it back to the seller and purchase it again.
Another question is I have seen this Album did come with a case on the Lay Zhang 2017 Show Expo, not understand why when I purchased this Album, it had not come with the case.
Overall, the design of the Album and the songs played in the CD are really great, I want to give a 5 stars on this Album.
Definitely worth to purchase and keep it as a souvenir.


title: Very good design on the album

text: Very good design on the album.  This is a mini album, only includes 6 songs in it.  Songs are great, I played the CD while driving home from work.  I am so glad I have purchased this Album.


title: Masterfully done!

text: So very well done, beautiful images, costumes, sceneries, and music. Acting is superb!!! Gorgeous characters. The touch of humor is perfect. Production is excellent - perfect timing and coordination. A very heart-warming ending. The entire show is believable and delightful! Appropriate for children as there is nothing objectionable, yet wonderful for adults too. THIS IS IN GERMAN, but even for a non-German speaker, it s great, as we all know the story. Bravo!

title: Another classic Doctor Who adventure!

text: A solid historical adventure from William Hartnell's era of Doctor Who. This was one of the many adventures that the BBC in their stupidity destroyed in the early 1970's. Thankfully, thanks to intelligent, dedicated fans of the day, the soundtrack exists in its entirety and is presented with linking narration that allows the theater of the mind to take over. Definitely worth purchasing for fans of Classic Doctor Who.

title: This group is dynamic, fresh and so artful!

text: Love their music! 1st purchased album. Their mix of cultural instrumentality, rock/jazz licks, vocals and downright tight performance catches my breath. Of the genre, they're leaders in their field and I hope they break into US markets. At 60, I'd pay serious coin to see them if they tour here in California!!!


title: Had been unavailable for a while.

I had been wanting to get a copy for awhile.
When I was ready to get it it became unavailable.
So I hurried up and waited for the remastered version to come out.
The wait was worthwhile.
This version sounds great!

title: That old school hiphop

text: Whole album is sweet. Beats are reminiscent of an era long over, when the beats were fire. Sounds like the old wicked clown stuff. I felt like i was listening to 90s rap again and it caught me right in the feels. Even if you are not a fan of shaggy or icp but you like old school rap you will probably still like this

I listen to my music on my MP3 devices.  I buy the CD-ROM, make a backup, and listen to the copy.

Kudos to the DRM engineers: this CD-ROM can't be archived.  If you lose it, you lose it.  If you want to listen to it somewhere you don't have a CD-ROM player, then that's just too bad for you.

title: LESS THAN IDEAL

text: Like at least one other reviewer, I am giving this rather unsatisfactory set three stars simply out of gratitude that someone bothered to record them complete. My complaint isn't with the music itself; several reviewers have made the totally irrelevant observation that Telemann wasn't Bach. But neither was Beethoven or Rachmaninoff, so what's their point? If you wanted Bach, buy a recording of Bach's music. No, my complaint is with the performer. Her performances are overloaded with "agogic accents," that currently trendy device of slightly prolonging certain notes, ostensibly to give them greater weight, but in the process derailing the pulse of the music. The very first Fantasia on the first disc gives you a good foretaste of what lies in store on the rest of the recordings; virtually every note at the beginning of a downward scale figure is stretched out, giving the impression that either the note is dotted, or that the performer is sight-reading and unsure of what the next note should be. It is true that decades ago, too many performances of Baroque music were overly rigid and mechanical-sounding, but too many young performers over-compensate, perhaps thinking it makes their interpretations more "artistic," but instead making the listener feel uncomfortable. It is also clearly evident that the performer is hitting the keys too hard, especially with her left hand, producing an audible knocking sound that is the hallmark of a keyboardist who hasn't mastered a proper harpsichord touch. This set is adequate as a reference resource, but is not one I return to with any frequency for sheer listening enjoyment.


title: DON'T BE FOOLED BY AMAZON'S MISTAKE

text: When I ordered this item, it was listed as being performed by Il Giardino Armonico. The one I received (and which inexplicably appears on Amazon's page devoted to that ensemble) is by the Sudwestdeucsches Kammerorchester Pforzheim. When I ordered it, there was no illustration, just that bizarre panel they use with a test that looks like it was written in Klingon. Don't be fooled by this blatant bait-and-switch!


title: A MIXED BAG, BUT WITH HARPSICHORD!

text: I’ve owned this recording for many years, having the LP edition released on Decca’s bargain Richmond label, but since I rarely if ever play LPs anymore, I hadn’t listened to it in quite a long time. Overall, I find it more pleasing now than when I first heard it, but it is still a mixed bag. Almost all of the vocal soloists are excellent, particularly soprano Valerija Heybal (spelled Valeria Heybalova on the Richmond release), aside from a few strident notes in her final scene. The unfortunate exception, and it’s a big one, is the Herman of Alexander Marinkovic (Marinkovich), and sadly his is the main role in the opera. His tone is thin and wiry, often sounding strained, and prolonged listening to his singing is an uncomfortable experience. The orchestra is competent and often produces lovely sounds, although the trumpet at the start of the third act is badly out of tune. The conducting of Kresimir Baranovic (Kreshimir Baranovich) is efficient, but too often glib, with a feeling of “this passage isn’t very important, so let’s get through it as quickly as possible.” (The Act II pastorale particularly suffers in this respect.) If I were traveling through Central Europe and happened to take in this performance, I would consider it nice but nothing to write home about. The one area where I give it high marks—and an extra star in my rating—is what I consider the set’s biggest attraction: it is the only performance I know of that uses a real harpsichord in the second scene of the first act. Although the libretto specifies “Lisa is seated at the harpsichord,” every other performance I’ve seen or heard uses a piano, a cheap and unsatisfactory substitute. Tchaikovsky had an unerring ear for instrumental sonorities, and I can’t believe he would have overlooked that enormous difference in the sound of the two instruments, and his writing for the keyboard is wholly idiomatic for the harpsichord. If for no other reason, I find this set worth acquiring on CD. Decca is to be congratulated for its series of “Eloquence” reissues.


title: FORGET THE INSTRUMENTS--IT'S A GREAT PERFORMANCE

text:
A sticker on the cover of this set proudly proclaims “First time on period instruments.” Fortunately that is not the only attraction on this recording. To be honest, I don’t hear anything really different in the sound of these “period instruments.” There is no moment while listing to this recording where I found myself thinking, “Wow, I never really heard the music articulated that way before.” I think the further along the spectrum of music history you advance, the more diminished are the returns on using “authentic” instruments. I suppose eventually we will have a recording of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” performed only on instruments built before 1924—which some purists will no doubt hail as a “revelation.”

Forget the instruments; what is most salient about this recording is that it’s simply a great performance. The chorus and orchestra are first-rate, bringing out every detail without making a fetish of it, phrasing beautifully while wringing every bit of excitement out of the music that Verdi composed into it. For this I credit John Eliot Gardiner’s sensitive and insightful conducting, not the supposed authenticity of the instruments being used (I have heard Gardiner achieve the same level of musical artistry in live performances of other works with modern symphony orchestras), and the recorded presence is stunning—this Dies Irae will knock the grille-cloths off your speakers and can stand alongside the best of them. The quartet of solo voices is lovely, perhaps not with the powerhouse operatic star quality evident on some other recordings, but they seem to suit Gardiner’s conception. Rather than expressing dramatic fire, horror and dread in broad, Technicolor strokes, they seem to focus more inwardly on matters of mystical faith, a completely valid approach for such a work. I would never want to be without Solti’s recording, which features four of the greatest operatic voices of his time, but no one should hesitate to acquire this superb reading, whether you intend to supplement it with other versions or not. Although to be sure this is one of a handful of masterworks that deserve to be represented by more than recording in your home library. The Four Sacred Pieces included are also exquisitely sung and make a fine bonus, but the Mass performance would be worth buying even without it.


title: COME FOR THE INSTRUMENTS, STAY FOR THE PERFORMER

text:
I stumbled across this disc by accident and bought it on a whim, mainly to hear the two instruments featured on this recording, a 1756 Kirkman and a 1638 Adlam Burnett modeled after Ruckers. They did not disappoint--the instruments sound gorgeous, and sound engineers Gef Lucena and David Wilkins flawlessly captured their sound, which has presence and a pleasantly resonant ambience without the excessive echo that mars so many harpsichord recordings for some reason.

But the real revelation to me was the playing of Maggie Cole. I have never heard her before, but judging from this one recording, she is a spectacular performer. In addition to all the dazzling technique required by this music, she also possesses a fine sense of rhythm that is supple without being erratic, and a flawlessly legato touch that makes these instruments sound like butter. I immediately went online to search for more of her recordings. I own many recordings of Scarlatti sonatas, but none that is better than this.


title: A gift to yourself!

text: The music on this disc is totally relaxing. Good for those with stress!!

Not often you find an album that you can play through the whole thing without skipping a track or two.

Grew up with this album. From start to finish, just an amazing collection of songs.

If you need to mellow out for the holidays or are just looking to get into the spirit, this is my go to.


title: GO COLE!

text: As I listened to this CD it felt really familiar. Then I looked at the credits and I see Larry Batiste and Clayton Richardson (Castlemont High) and Vincent Lars (YMP-UC Berkeley) and it was all clear. I was almost ready to anticipate an appearance by Rodney Franklin as a reunion.<br />Great work Nicole! Don't be surprised if you hear a bass line or two in church Sunday! lol

text: I had the wonderful opportunity to hear Gary perform at Mount Hermon in Ca. It's an awesome partial outdoor setting in the early evening...what a talented, kind, humble man he is. Purchased this CD after the live performance and had Gary sign it for me. So precious to me to have in my collecction. Normally I listen to Third Day, Sonic Flood etc, but to have this instrumental so powerful but so gentle & moving for a quiet calm morning when I need to be refective & close to God or an evening after a long day when my heart just longs to draw near to God...this collections takes me there.  There are some classics, "great is thy faithfulness" and some newer songs, "awesome god".  Can't go wrong with this CD in your collection.

title: Not good for what I needed it for

text: I purchased this CD with the intent to listen to it at night, like a white noise, to help me falling asleep and covering the noises made by my neighbor.  Unfortunately it did not work because this cd contains a variety of sounds  (especially bird's chirping sounds)  that for sure do not help a person to fall asleep. If your idea of falling asleep includes birds chirping then buy this CD, if doesn't ...then stay away from this CD. Waste of money for me.

title: Calming, and anointed.

text: Takes me back to when I first listened to this back in the 80's. Calming and anointed. They don't write them like this anymore. Get alone with God with this one. Turn your phone off, turn off the TV and get ready for God to speak to you. Before you know it, your hands will go up, tears will wash your face and you'll wonder how you've gone this long without the presence of God in your day. ✝


title: Great cd

text: Was happy to find this in the day of pc


title: Buyer beware

text:
There's nothing wrong with the performance: it's Gershwin himself, according to the editorial review, taken from a piano roll. "Music Experience in 3-Dimensional Sound Reality" it says on the packaging.  All I can say is, it's a thin excuse for a surround-sound DVD-Audio disc: the one track is the only thing on it. Maybe 15 minutes, total, though nowhere on the disc or its packaging does it mention the track list or the timing. Or that it's remastered from a piano roll, for that matter. And all at a premium price? You've got to be kidding!

Watch out for the entire DVD-Audio series by Alexander Goldberg Jero. I bought several, to fill out my DVD-Audio collection, and none have lived up to expectations.

title: 60's All Original 60's Hits

text: gOOD SET of cds==most of the songs were great and well remembered.  there were some I did not remember and most likely would not have listened too back in the 60's ...but for the most part they were good to listen too and I enjoyed most of them


title: Burl Ives

text: All I can say is that I am a Burl Ives fan and I love the album and his voice.


title: Outstanding performance

text: A real collector's collection of the legend Artur Rubinstein playing Chopin.  He is absolutely wonderful.  If you love Chopin, you will love this performance by Rubinstein.


title: slick marketing

text: The last reviewer said something about the lack of gimmickry. I beg to differ with this release.<br />My main gripe is the song Valentine (from Boys and Girls) is titled as "Instumental". It has had the vocals removed along with several other layers from the original mix, leaving something that is totally unrecognizable as Valentine. This is hardly an instrumental. Throw in a few B sides from singles and a smattering of Taxi and this is the result. I paid handsomely for a second hand copy and am totally underwhelmed!!!


title: brilliant, brilliant single for Hari fans

text:
I was fortunate to find this gem at a second hand store way back in '96.

Looking at the prices on amazon I have myself a treasure to be sure. I paid $3 Australian!!!

The best thing about this is the reverse end version of When We Was Fab. It not only seems to come out sounding like the original melody but there also is that sly dig at the Beatle's psychadelic period with the sitars etc.

If you can find a copy grab it immediatley!!!

title: Item cd

text: Thanks you so much is a perfect item!!


title: Great CD!

text: I actually know this artist, have heard him in person, and have purchased each one of his CD's. I definitely recommend his CDs and look forward to the next one.


title: Great CD

text: I had this CD before but it got messed up in my cd player in my car. Just now getting another, forgot how much I loved this CD been playing it since I got it.


title: More great music, but frustratingly short!

text: I'm a big Brandi fan and this album does not disappoint, but it is so short it left me craving more!  I also love live albums because you get to learn a little about the artist and its always fun to compare their speaking voice to their singing.  I can't wait for her next full album release!


title: entertaining movie with a couple of slow spots

text: I don't understand all the negative reviews of this movie by the film critics.  It is better than the "Phantom Menace" in the sense that there is less Jar-Jar and more action.  The acting could have been a little better, but the same could be said of all the Star Wars movies.  The special effects are much better in the last two movies than in the previous trilogy.  In fact, I have a hard time watching the original movies now because the effects look so poor in comparison.  The plot is a little slow in the middle, but I think the rabid fans want as long a movie as possible so they won't complain.  Overall, I would say this is the best installment yet, which is high praise since sequels usually are not as good as the original.


title: Probably good in its day.

text: Outdated and if you actually get on the road early as suggested, and we did, you'll miss out on alot of the sites as they don't open til later.


title: Magnificent Serbian/Croatian Traditional Music

text: This CD was produced in Szentendre, Hungary at a concert in the churchyard of St. John the Baptist Church in Jan. 1997. It reveals the complex musical heritage  and diversity of ethnic groups that exists in Hungary today. It is my absolute favorite Vujicsics CD to date. Whenever I listen to the music of the Balkans, I become nostalgic for my dancing days, when I did the Serbian kolos and the complex intricate dance steps of Macedonia. The musicians on this CD started playing together and collecting this wonderful music in the mid- to late 1970s. They have honored their teacher and mentor, Tihamer Vujicsics, an ethnomusicologist and former pupil of Kodaly, who passed away at a relatively early age ...<br />Track #1, is one of the best, "Adano Oro". It is filled with great Balkan brass and percussion which increases in speed, rhythm, and intensity, to a terrific tapan beat. #2, "Dvi Dvojka" has a great rhtyh, nice tambouritza sound, very pleasant and authentic. Track #3, is a wonderful kolo which in addition ot the various types of tambouras, includes a surprise, ocarina accompaniment. "Udvarsko Kolo" #4, is just about the finest example of kolo music on this CD. Difficult to describe but easy to dance to ... I love #6, "Oro Gajde", because this is authentic bagpipe music, as played by shepherds, and includes the beat of a tapan and later a zurna, both of which crescendo and decrescendo along labrynthine pathways, making one's hair stand on end, it has such a strong emotional impact. track #7 includes shepherd's pipes in a pleasant enjoyable melody which could leave the listener eventually jumping and dancing to the tunes played. The melody of #8 is very familiar, tambouritza music extraordinaire, along with male vocals. In my mind's eye, I can easily picture the fancy footwork of the dancers. #9, is a great piece sounds very Meditarranean, from the Dalmatian coast, lovely music strummed, like the waves splashing onto the shore. Very relaxing and serene ... #15 "Rastanak" is of Turkish origin, an introspective zurna solo winds and curves musical pathways in a mesmerizing, hypnotizing manner. What a finale. I wish it kept going on and on and on ... And it will on their *next* CD. This is one highly pleasurabel musical journey to the Southern Slavic regions of Hungary ... former territories, honored in music, *never* to be forgotten. Erika Borsos (erikab93)


title: Exciting & Original, Poetic, Lyrical  with Ancient Roots

text:
The music is original, it is nostalgic and captures a feeling of ancient roots and a certain rebellious, revolutionary, heroic spirit. The connection with the past, the sense of belonging to the tribe is over-powering ...it is visceral music. Some of which sounds as if it dates back to the medieval and renaissance era. A few tracks, can be traced to the very ancient past, when the Hungarian tribes camped out, after travelling several hundred miles. It seems as if they are recalling their journey of several thousands of miles -- as the pentatonic scaled Hungarian music is played, there are echos that vibrate way back to Central Asia. The music is haunting and poignant. The lyrics are poetic and starkly beautiful in their simplicity. Much of it, covers the feelings of how the common people may have felt about life, love, hope. There are references to the king, youth, love, and hope, and even how human life resembles that of monkeys ... These highly talented musicians express themselves in poetic artistic terms and expand their musical horizons back to the past with ease and astonishing results... Any person of Hungarian ancestry will be captivated by the music. It is even more impressive if one understands the Hungarian lyrics. The themes within the songs and the sound of the traditional musical instruments leave a powerful impact on the listener ...

Track #1: I get the feeling that the ordinairy people, the peasants are paying homage to their king, when in their hearts, they just want to live and be free. There is a veiled reference to the king not caring for his dogs, who are bone-bare and have blood-shot eyes. The youth are shouting near the castle, which is left unprotected, without a moat. Essentially, the king is left "naked", he is being threatened, which I interpret as he could be deposed, if living conditions do not improve. The king delares war oblivious to the effect it has on the people.  Another evocative song starts out with a chant as if one were hearing a Catholic mass, it sets the feeling and tone for the rest of the piece, which is soul searching and original. One of the most impressive tracks is #4 "Koldusok" ("Beggars") in which an elderly man, possibly the father, is admonishing his son to not steal, there is a dialogue between the young man and his father that is touching, and heart-wrenching. It reveals the dire circumstances of the beggars who want to live like others, have children, but worry about where their next meal is coming from, in fact the father tells the son, don't spend money on masses for my soul, after I die, buy food, buy sausages instead. The father asks the youth does he not fear he will go to hell. The youth replies, I just want to live ... Other tracks have strong Balkan rhythms and melodies, possibly with a Turkish influence, played on Hungarian instruments. This whole CD is amazing -- the musicians use bagpipes, saxaphone, drums, cimbalom, plus a few other traditional instruments to create moods of nostalgia that remain with the listener, long after the music has stopped playing. This CD receives my highest recommendations. Erika Borsos (erikab93)


title: Soothing Music for People and Pets

text: It's a wonderful CD that I bought to play for my pets - they calm right down when they hear it starting.  The reason I gave it a 4* is because the 2nd CD "Sleepy Time Again" is my favorite 5+++++ rating.  Pets love it and my husband and I love it too - great relaxing music to read by or just doze off.  The first one I bought was from Hallmark and played it for my grandchildren when they spent the night/weekend.  They're both teenagers now and will still listen to it because it takes them back to when they were little girls.

Brings back a lot of memories!  I especially love the New Attitude song by Patti Labelle, she rocks!

title: A  Queen in a gilded cage

text:
I really liked this movie and Helen Mirren -- as usual -- does a fantastic job of portraying the Queen and her royally dysfunctional family as complex anachronisms.  Ms Mirren absolutely deserves the kudo's she has received and could easily capture an oscar for her performance.  She is definitely aided by the makeup and costumes which also deserve mention as being outstanding.  Several things stand out in this movie which I felt served to capture the royal family, its isolation, its dislike of Diana (and why), and its weird family dynamics.  The line "Diana is even more annoying dead than she was alive" I thought captured their real dislike of her as a person.  Even more distrubing was the reaction the Queen had to the death of the stag versus her reaction to the death of Diana. Heart felt emotion for the stag, nothing for Diana.  The flap over the flag was a real indication of how this family is trapped by tradition and protocol, which is more important to them than people.  In fact this film, which may be close to the truth, shows that the royal family lives in a gilded cage constructed of tradition, protocol, slavish minions, and isolation from any real people.No one dares tell them the truth or to disturb the tranquility of their placid and unreal existence.  Clearly this is why Diana was so despised by them.  Diana was outgoing, hated the protocol, the stiffness and almost total lack of emotion, love, or family.  She was everything they hated but everything they needed.  Of course they really never understood that and even today they have little grasp of how outdated they are as an institution.  This is a totally dysfunctional family and you see Prince Charles as a grown man incapable of making his own decisions because he must get permission from the Queen.  Prince Phillip -- one minute he is husband and the next he is subject, but clearly he is the most isolated of all -- and likes it that way -- unless he doesn't get his way.  These are living anachronisms and Mirren manages to convey that even they are beginning to realize that.

The Tony Blair character (Sheen) is well done and really shows the schizophrenic attitude the Brits have toward the Royal Family.  The PM of England is certainly one of the most powerful men in the world, yet we see him bowing and (gag) kneeling to kiss the hand of the sovereign.  It shows how he has the power but his power is fleeting while the royal family has the influence which remains as long as the monarchy exists.  Which the film clearly shows is on shaky ground due to the isolation of the royal family.

I only gave this 4 stars because I thought the cinematography was distracting at times and there were too many gratuitous shots of Diana, but Mirren's performance is well worth the price of admission.

text: She awesome singer and great message.


title: Excellent in every way

text:
It is often difficult to record live performances in their appropriate setting for Choral music,and here there is a small bit of "ring" and some muddiness on the sound capture, however, it is all forgivable for this selection is masterful. Poston's "Apple Tree" is among the best ever executed, and every other Britten classic is here as well.

Music Director Robert Tate was at the height of his powers directing and encouraging the St. Cecelia's Girls Choir during this time, and he has trained and produced a tremendous sound from these charming voices, not captured timelessly here for posterity to enjoy.

This is a well-selected group of carols that is a wonderful addition to your Yuletime music.

text: This completes the 3 set Anthology collection for me. I was looking for the early years compilation and all of the good notes/speeches/chats that come along with the music. I must have for any Beatles fan who wants to know all they can.


title: I jones for this stuff

text: If you're here you probably know a little about John Petrucci anyway, so I'll just say that this is probably the instrumental album of the year.  Period.  I listen to a lot of instrumental music and this is near the top in composition, technical prowess, and just good stuff that you want to listen to over and over again.  Someone else compared this to Liquid Tension Experiment, which I can see to an extent, but that session seemed a lot less focused than this one, more goofing around.  I like this even better than LTE.


title: Beautiful Guitar Work

text: I came across Don Ross in my never-ending search for great guitarists.  Acoustic, electric, slide, dobro, whatever, I like them all.  Don is a fingerstyle player who incorporates many rhythms and tonalities to his playing, and who shows many influences in his work.  My first introduction to him was Passion Session, from 1999, which I still rate among his finest works.  This is two years earlier, and, while it still has many of the elements that make Passion Session great, there are those annoying vocals that keep cropping up, which PS has none of.  In my way of thinking they interrupt the purity of the music, although some examples do add something to the mood of the song.  There is a sung cover of 'Can't Find My Way Home', the old Blind Faith song, but to be fair, I don't think anyone can match the mournful delivery that Steve Winwood lends to that song.  'Wave From your Window' comes across much better.  My faves here include track 9: 'Bruy Re', and track 2: 'Meanwhile Road'.  Definite recommendation for anyone who enjoys good acoustic fingerstyle.

title: The best

text: This cd is hard to find, but when you hear it for the first time it brings you to a place of complete peace and relaxation. This is one of my favorite music collections. A compilation of the best songs from this artist. This album needs more recognition. Absolutely beautiful music....One of a kind..

text: Music is always a matter of personal taste.. some CDs will "work" for you and some won't ... my gold standard is two fold..  1. do I like most of the songs on the CD and 2. how long does it stay in my rotation.. .. I keep about 15 cds in my car and rotate them out as I get bored with them ... this one has been in my car a long time .. I love every song and I don't think I'll be pulling it out any time soon .. am I a music critic ??  no but I do know what "works" for me and this definitely does


title: Beautifully Haunting

text: I have always loved NIN. Despite Reznor’s incredible vocals and lyrics, some of my favorite pieces are purely instrumental. Songs like “A Warm Place” and “Hand Covers Bruise” are truly haunting and transcendent. If you appreciate such tracks, and enjoyed the score to “The Social Network,” you will simply adore Ghosts.


title: One of the BEST modern musical groups today!!!!

text: This CD is absolutely amazing!! Every song, every harmony by this ridiculously talented group of young men should be enjoyed by everyone!! Please, do not think one needs to be Jewish to appreciate such talent!! I'm not and I do!!


title: Their last one, but it's right up there as one of there best!

text: Move like this(2011) The Cars.. well they all came back, except for the loss of  Ben Orr and sure he is missed on this swan song but these guys created a bittersweet record, familiar sounds to their back gems but with Orr this set would have taken on the sublime with his vocal brilliance that always balanced so well with Ric's quirky pipes, Move like this is a brisk collection of tunes that gives the band a modern twist yet has a nostalgic vibe, darker than all the other Cars albums, it just can't escape the loss of what Ben brought to the band but none the less, the set shines with the brilliant touches of  bandleader Ric Ocasek (who we lost also in 2019),  I put this on after not hearing it in many years and it's still brings back memories of my younger years(and earlier Cars gems) and one of our best New Wave Rock synth bands from the 1980's, well worth getting, especially with Jacknife Lee producing..


title: An old friend still sounding so good..

text: Picked up this 2018-2019 Karla Bonoff collection CARRY ME HOME and it includes many classic dusted off re-recorded cuts many of us all remember that were around during those times back in the late 70's into the 80's.  Included are several new recordings and that still pristine, melancholy vocal and the most intimate settings for these songs. Stripped down to only the essentials, piano and elegant Nina Gerber guitar stylings, this is a real treat, a haunting & memorable recollection of such a different time in the music business when artists were left to find their way through their talents, she pioneered many of the 90's singer/songwriters, a peerless singer of such heartfelt songs(its like she singing to you, so intimate) songs recorded by the likes of Bonnie, Linda and Wynonna just to mention a few on the top shelf, CARRY ME HOME will put a smile on your face, its mellow, brilliant touches keep that voice right out and front and the words shine bright. Thanks Karla for your gift of music and songwriting, and getting out their on the road all these years. Excellent stuff!


I have all these collections, this music is so unique, personal, adult songs filled with great musicianship and sentiments, fell in love with this NZ artist when I heard her music in the 80's on college radio stations in the Boston area, and her powerful videos for Soviet Snow and Glad I'm not a Kennedy but she's got some great tunes on all these 5 classic gems. Thief to silver, across the Irish sea, Fear of falling (to name a few) just one of those artists that deserved to be heard an appreciated in America, so glad I found her music, happy to read about her NZ recognition to the hall of fame etc in her home country of New Zealand.  . Got to see her live in Boston in the 90's, always a favorite of mine.


title: ....what more can you say?

text: This is another great collection of songs, listening to "The day before you came", "The cappuccino song", Stop listening", "I think of you" "Back in your arms",  brings on such an intense enjoyable sensory overload, just lay back and  close your eyes to these tunes and she write songs, so unusal, like no one  else. This music is fun and wordy, a challange for American radio music  formats but well worth it!


title: I don't know about the condition of the disc for sale, but the music on it is TIMELESS!

text: High & Lonesome started out as a college band in Iowa City, Iowa. Lead by frontman Dave Zollo, who's got the voice of a fallen angel, dripping with pain and angst and all the making of a broken hearted love story. These boys are brilliant in their gritty blues-rock music, their heart-wrenching melodies, and timeless lyrics. With songs like "Straight Ahead Boogie" ("I told the boys down at the liquor store, oh, don't you look at my face no more! I'm going way on down to New Orleans way...), to "Shining Softly", a classic love song that I, for one, will have on my wedding party playlist! Unfortunately, there were only so many copies of this debut CD put out, and they are EXTREMELY rare to find... if you happen upon one, be sure NOT to miss out the chance to listen to it! It will change your life! It surely changed mine!!!

text: Saw this on stage in London back in '63. Though I was sitting near the roof of the theater I was moved by the songs and taken by the grit of the British people.


title: An amazing and remarkable recording!  Original and brilliant!  A must!

text: Whether you're a flutist, or just love and appreciate improvised music, you will be amazed at the originality of this recording -- Jeremy not only creates entirely original riffs and compositions employing the flute, but also overdubs accompaniments created by blowing across bottle tops.  This is a remarkable achievement.  In fact, it should be required listening for every flutist, jazz and classical.  You will be blown away!!!  This was not widely available until recently, when Jeremy's widow was kind enough to make it available on Amazon.  Grab this while you can.  It is a singularly brilliant and original.
