title: Track list explained

text:
For those (like me) who don't speak German, online translation reveals that "drei dutzend klavierfantasien" means "three dozen keyboard fantasies."  The printed track list for this disc is confusing.  Here's how it shakes out:

Track 1 is no. 1 from the first dozen, in D
Track 2 is no. 5 from the first dozen, in F
Track 3 is no. 6 from the first dozen, in F Minor
Track 4 is a duplicate of track 2
Track 5 is no. 9 from the second dozen, in E Minor
Track 6 is no. 9 from the third dozen, in B Minor
Track 7 is no. 10 from the third dozen, in D
Track 8 is a duplicate of track 6
Track 9 is a solo in C from "Essercizii Musici"
Track 10 is no. 1 from the second dozen, in C Minor
Track 11 is no. 5 from the third dozen, in G Minor
Track 12 is no. 11 from the third dozen, in E-Flat

I've not played everything from the disc yet, but I sampled several of the fantasies, each lasting in the neighborhood of 4 to 5 minutes, in figuring out the foregoing.  The performances seem perfectly fine, straightforward but making a good case for the composer, if not the last word in individuality.  Neither they nor the music strike me as coming even close to justifying the elevated price asked for the sole example on offer as of this writing, however.


title: Lifescapes Peaceful Retreat CD

text: I heard this CD at my massage therapists office.  It is so peaceful and relaxing.  It melts away tension. It's a must to have in your collection.


It was so nice to hear the original story of the Lone Ranger, Tonto, how he acquired his horse, Silver.  You can close your eyes and go back to "those thrilling days of yesteryear"  when we gathered around the radio to hear the sounds of the William Tell Overture and the wonderful stories of the Lone Ranger and his "faithful Indian companion, Tonto.  Hear how he met Tonto and hear the moral advice given to all the adults and children listening to those wonderful stories.

text: Great songs.  Kids love them!  A great way to learn scripture too.


title: Needs attention

text: Didn’t get it


title: The music is great! It's well worth the money to have this ...

text: The music is great!  It's well worth the money to have this in your collection.  I do leave one warning, it does not play on all recorders.  It will not play in my car CD player, have tried numerous times with no success, won't read it at all, which is the main reason I bought it, to listen in my car.  At least it plays in my home entertainment system, so not a total bust.


title: 4 Pages of Nothing

text: Don't waste your time four pages of nothing that you can't find on the internet for free.


title: So Beautiful.

text: The music is perfect for background music for any occasion, such as dreaming of sugar plums. Dinner, falling asleep.... Very relaxing, sweet and soothing.  Highly recommend it.


title: BEING IN HEAVEN

GOING & BEING IN THE FOX THEATRE WAS LIKE BEING IN HEAVEN.....WHEN I

title: No Problems

text: Came as promised no problems.


title: Worthwhile but not wonderful

text: The imagery in this guided meditation is very powerful. It is well written with three very distinct sections that truly help you to access your inner spirit. However, I found that it was too wordy in sections. Dr. Berlin seemed to want to reassure at every turn and to explain what you may or may not be feeling or experiencing in the meditation. I found these "side-bars" to be distracting, especially since the imagery is so wonderful and rich and full. I also found it strange that there was no background music during the guided meditation. It didn't bother me but I think the meditation would have been better with some drumming or flute music.

text: Excellent!


title: Presence of God

text: Darlene does it again with this CD!  Her voice and the lyrics of these songs will bring you into the presence of God.  I love Change Your World and all the others.  Thank God for Darlene Zschech, who has brought several generations and millions of people world-wide into the presence of God!  She is the real deal and believes what she sings, as is evident in her entire life living humbly at the feet of her Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ.  I just love her music and she also sings Michael W. Smith's song, Agnus Dei as well.  Awesome CD--you will love it!

title: Fantastic

text: I only wish there were more of these CDs available. It is a fantastic collection of cajun music, beautifully played and sung. The songs are traditional cajun favorites that make me homesick. There are a few tunes that I'm not familiar with that are also great, including as especially beautiful waltz on Track 11. If you have an interest in cajun music, you will love this CD.

text: [[VIDEOID:2e735874527425c223bb74dc5945d446]] Such  great music and History.


title: Try Raymond Leppard instead

text: I was very excited at first to receive these CDs. After lestining to them, I can't say the same. In every recording the harpsichord is not recorded to the same level as the other instruments. The stringed instruments turn out to be the hero each and every single time. It almost gives it a monophonic feel to it, and is not tantalizingly polyphonic. I really suggest recordings by Raymond Leppard instead if you like the harpsichord. Aside from the solos, Marriner reduces the harpsichord likened to a bass in a jazz ensamble, just to fill in the rhythm. I agree with the other reviewer saying Marriner is more interested in making this sound like big orchestra than Bach.


title: Music for Kids

text: Cassidy offers wonderful music for kids.  It is also music that adults can listen to and enjoy.  I recommend Nancy Cassidy's music to anyone who has kids or who works with kids.


title: Hasta la raiz

text: Love the lyrics<br />Move my feelings


title: It is wonderful for relaxation

text: I've been looking for this for quite awhile.  It is wonderful for relaxation.  I also use it vor help getting to sleep as it covers up my tinnitus with out being noisy.  However only a few of the tracks work for Qi Gong and T'ai Chi.


title: Confused Seller?

text: It’s a fantastic cd; unfortunately I did not receive a “limited edition” cd......no bonus track, no patch....so seller, what’s up with that?


title: Five Stars

title: What Enescu contributed with his symphony is real and grounded

text: A quality professional package and an interesting, big hearted performance by an interesting middle European orchestra.  I had never heard an Enescu symphony, and it stunned me with its original yet sure instrumentation and balsy reliance on pure mastery of musical material.  On many repetitions, I gradually noted a heavy reliance on recording mixing to enhance the impact of the playing, but the musicians all really threw themselves into performing and making the recording.  On many repetitions, I gradually missed more and more structural detail in the performing but agree that if there has to be a tradeoff with having everybody really perform as they really do, I'll take it.  On many repetitions, the CD started to break down - sometimes it garbled and fitted and started, or it started on the wrong track.  But for the chance to make Enescu's acquaintance with this symphony in this way, I'd give it more stars still.  It was very inexpensive, and I got more than my money's worth by far.


title: so beautiful

text: excellent condition and sound quality--what a performance! Beautiful beyond words.


title: Not great

text: Was cracked


title: quintissential post-2000 indie rock

text:
If you like the Postal Service or similar bands, you'll like this. Top notch structure, very catchy (All the Arms around You rivals the Shins for pure hummability), with the sort of laid back vocals that are impossible not to like if all you want is something to chill back to.

This seems short, but there's not that much to be said. All the songs are solid, they vary in speed but none are ultra slow or ultra fast. Great music to serve as background to any laid back activity.

title: A Beautiful New Album

text:
Ever since I've started up my music blog, I've come across hundreds of new artists and found a lot that I've liked, and a lot that I haven't liked. But, there are only a handful of artists whom I literally count down the days until I can pick up their new album. This is the case with Ray LaMontagne, whom I've been a fan of since his first release, Trouble.

Gossip in the Grain is his most personal, emotional and well crafted album, and is easily one of the best albums of the year. It comes as an extremely bittersweet release for me, because a number of the songs hit so close to home for me that it literally knocked the breathe out of me during a couple of songs.

Gossip expands the sound of Trouble and Till the Sun Turns Black, building on the sound and feel of both extremely well, while not being boxed into any particular mode - this album represents an evolution in his sound - very similar to what Amos Lee did with his own third album earlier this summer, Last Days at the Lodge. The album opens with horns in the opening track, You Are The Best Thing. The playlist reads like a story - a love story, with all the hurt, joy and love with You Are the Best Thing, Let It Be Me, Sarah, I Still Care For You, and later, with Falling Through. This is the section that is absolutely brilliant, but at times, far too relatable, at least for me.

There are tracks that are easily some of the best that LaMontagne has done thus far. In addition to the aforementioned tracks, Meg White proves to be a fun listen to singer Meg White, of the White Stripes, Henry Nearly Killed Me (It's a Shame), and the title track, Gossip in the Grain. There's a wide variety of emotion and sound, and we see LaMontagne at vulnerable times, and when the cuffs come off and the sound takes right off. With this, there's a wide blend of rock, acoustic, bluegrass and country brought in here to build a fantastic sound.

This album is easily one of the best of the year, and its sure to make a high point on my end of the year lists. Its emotion, energy and spirit sets this far above most of the albums that I've listened to, and proves that LaMontagne is still capable to release better material as his music career ages, and that he is one of the best, and defining musicians of the decade.

I'm particularly excited to see LaMontagne live tomorrow night - he is one of the artists on my priority to see list, and it'll be nice to see his performance live. Gossip in the Grain is due out next Tuesday, October 14th.

title: Beautiful voice

text: Pleasure to listen to a wonderful voice. Great album to listen to and enjoy


title: Anointed!

text: This is one extremely anointed album!  Karen Wheaton has a passion for this generation and you can hear it through every song.  From a war-like battle cry, to an intimate love song about a journey to find Jesus.  All around, this is an awesome CD.  I recommend it to any and all!


title: Great jazz singer

text: If visiting Honolulu, put a visit to Lewers Lounge at the Halekulani on your list of things to do - to see a talented artist such as Maggie Herron. Hopefully she will include a stunning version of 'A case of you' in her set - truly magnificent.

This is an excellent worship CD.  I pursued two, one for my mom several years ago.  She play it every night before she goes to sleep. She said it relaxes her and plus that is her time to worship our heavenly Father. Love it

title: Still have the sound and maybe better

text: Going way back to the "Muscle and Hate" days of Join in the Chant I was pleased to hear these guys blossom with more "musical" pieces from Ebbhead.  This album is a continuation of the trend showing years of additional experiences to make a very complete sound with their old flavor still predominant!  If you're still desiring the monotone earliest industrial sound, this may disappoint you but for the maturing musical fan, this will be a great blast from the past with flavor to savor from "today".  I've always liked "comping a few songs" better than complete album listening but I've gotten through this a few times back to front with a strong start and cool finish.


title: Heiller at the pinnacle of the organist's art

text: Anton Heiller was one of the towering giants in the organ world of the 20th century. He could easily have had a career as a conductor but restricted himself to the organ throughout his professional career. Heiller suffered from insomnia so in the early morning hours he would study Bach scores. This study brought deep insight to his playing. Heiller' technique was always rock solid, his rhythmic control legendary, and always he played with elegant articulation. This recording of the Eighteen Great Chorale Preludes represent a high example of the organist's art. A word of note is that Heiller was known for his ability to record in one take as his skill was so assured. This recording is a pinnacle for how these chorales should be played.  I believe the organ used for this recording was that of St. Mary's in Halsingborg, Sweden built by the Danish organ builder Marcussen known for their outstanding mechanical action instruments and faithful restorations of historic organs .


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome song selection and an incredible cause!


title: Jazz rock classic

text: This LP (back when it was issued) is a classic of Keaggy on guitar and a super group of very talented musicians. Its one that I play over and over (only now on my computer!). Its a must for anyone that loves the Lord and jazz muzak!


title: wow

text: NewS has definitely improved by leaps and bounds from their last album efforts. All of the songs are well produced and delivered. My personal favorites are Track 5 (Forever), Track 6 (Mola), Track 9 (''''''''''''''''''Give'Take'''''), and Track 10 (''''').  Excellent buy.


title: GREAT old-time radio set!

text:
This set is a very interesting concept.  It features the very first episodes of 60 different old-time radio series, most of which I had never heard before (and some I had never even heard OF).  This set has a bit of everything.  Detectives.  Comedy.  Even a few super-heroes!

Recommended!


title: "Very nice selection"

text: I purchased this as a gift. He loved it!


title: Great collection, but with one mystery

text: I was working at Burger King when this promotion was out. It is a great collection. There's a bonus track on discs 2 & 3 though that has been puzzling me for years. it sounds like the title of the song could be "That's My Religion", but I have no idea who sings it or how it ended up recorded on the album. It's a great song, but it sure isn't the Backstreet Boys singing it. Can anyone help me solve this mystery? Thanks.

title: A great find, singing the Chakras is an amazing experience

text: this is the CD that guides you through singing your chakras. Normally this is available through OHI in San Diego. This is a real find and surprisingly difficult to locate.


title: What a GREAT CD!!

text: This CD is both a suprise and pleasure in listening.  It is totally spontaneous by a team that shows it is possible to be one in Jesus in worship.  There is a cut on here as bluesy as anything you would hear in New Orleans and still worshipful.  You might ask how that can be?  Well, obviously this group believes that all musical avenues can be turned into worship.  If you want proof then you need to purchase this CD and find out for yourself.  Warning: some of these songs will get into your psyche and you will find yourself suddenly, out of nowhere, singing them.


title: A must have

text: If you have longed to have music that celebrates Jesus in utter abandon then this is the CD for you.  Kim and the team just know how to enter into God's presence and take you along for the ride.  It is a totally non religious and wonderful experience, especially with Charlie's thumping bass that rivals anything I've ever heard in rap or bass driven CDs.  In fact, I had to cut down the bass in my car or risk blowing my speakers.  I mean, it thumps and it sounds so swwwweeet!!


title: Excellent. Amazing worship music

text: Excellent.  Amazing worship music.


title: Christa Ludwig as Elektra

text: I have the old LP versions of these performances, rather than this CD version. Nonetheless, I want to recommend this disk to any and all fans of these Strauss operas, as well as to those who want to hear Christa Ludwig, in her prime, sing the Immolation Scene, which she does with great authority and solid tone. For most of us, the real treasure here is the Recognition Scene from "Electra," where she and Walter Berry prove to be exemplars of what these roles should really sound like. Orestes is so often a snore, but Berry is alive to every nuance of the drama and sings with unbelievably lush tone and great moral gravitas. Ludwig's freedom at the top of the staff is quite remarkable, especially for a mezzo in a dramatic soprano role, and she is the ideal actress. If only she had made a complete recording.

text: Great book for kids to sing along with. My kids loved it and now I got it for my granddaughter to love too


title: Remarkably bad sound quality

text: I think the sound quality is even worse than the other reviewer indicated. Sounds like a high speed CD-R of tracks downloaded from MP3s - if you can find a blog to download these tracks from, you might as well do that instead (this looks like a bootleg compilation, so I doubt the former band members are getting anything from the sales of this CD). AVOID.

title: Top-notch live performance by Tony-award winning star

text: I became an Ebersole fan after seeing her on Broadway in Grey Gardens. This CD is hard to find and is expensive although you might luck out on eBay. She is spectacular, excelling at singing, comedy, patter. Her songs run the gamut from touching to romantic to comic. Too bad there are few CDs of this wonderful star.


title: Selah delivers great music every time!!

text: Selah music as great as all the other albums. Only downer was that it comes in a cardboard slipcase and not a hard case. The description may or may not have listed it, I just didn’t think to check for it. Other than that, all great.

title: Chipmunk Rarities

text:
This is probably the rarest Chipmunk cd you will ever get your hands on.
I happened upon this on eBay for $10, which was an EXTREMELY good deal! I've talked to people who paid over $200 for it! Not only is it collectible, but the music is outstanding! Ross makes a great "rap" appearance in the title track "Rock The House". Also, The Cradle Of Love is my favorite! It starts out with Theo singing a lullaby, and leads into Alvin rocking the house!!! Some of my other favorites are "Freedom", Joyride", and "Hangin' Tough".
Here is the track list since it's not on Amazon.

1. Cradle Of Love
2. Freedom
3. Roam (The Chipettes)
4. It Must Have Been Love (The Chipettes)
5. The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)- The Chipettes
6. Express Yourself (The Chipettes)
7. Joyride
8. Rock The House
9. U Can't Touch This
10. Wiggle It
11. Cold Hearted
12. Unbelievable
13. Hangin' Tough
14. Ice Ice Baby (Ice Ice Alvin)

In other words, if you come across this cd or tape- GET IT!

title: Awesome and memorable

text: We did this musical at church when I was 8 or 9 years old. I still remember the songs - The Perfect Ten, Angels Aware, If It Were Up To Me...  It's all from the Angels perspective as the wonder how Jesus will go to earth - a mighty king, soldier, famous star, etc.  I still use the son The Perfect Ten to teach children the Ten Commandments today. Great musical and I'd use it today with my children if we could afford it.

title: Quiet and Lovely Jazz/Bossa

text: This is one of my favorite CDs, terrific vocals with elegant boss-style finger-picked guitar, and that's all. Like a haiku: simple, tasteful, lovely jazz. Ms. Gustafson can definitely "bring" it; check out her other CD, [[ASIN:B000008B4I You Taught My Heart to Sing]]. Here she elicits a beautiful, quiet June Christy/Julie London vibe. If you want jazz for the late night, grab this one. You'll be glad you did.

text: The best customer service I have ever received. Love the album


title: Five Stars

text: Everything is great and had wonderful, timely service!


title: Great CD, wonderful booklet, lots of extras -- BUT CD not housed in a secure recess or case

text: Pretty pricey for a one-song CD -- Cupid -- but the song is absolutely beautiful and the CD came with lots of extras: beautiful booklet of the idols, lots of photo cards, posters, etc.  MY ONLY CRITICISM IS THAT THE CD WASN'T PLACED INSIDE A CD RECESS, BUT INSTEAD, IS ONLY SLIPPED INTO A THIN COVER WHERE THE CARDBOARD SLIPS WHEREIN THE CD IS HELD WILL DEFINITELY BREAK IN THE FUTURE. I would much prefer a better CD case to house the CD more safely, than this flimsy CD case.


title: Brief mini-album (relatively short tracks), but pure perfection -- well worth the money

text: All tracks on this album by Fifty Fifty are musically gorgeous. The box that came is very sturdy and the box was full of wonderful extras: more photo cards than I've ever received in other Kpop cd orders, in addition to the standard color booklet, etc. Great cd to have by a fabulous group of singers who are as good as Mamamoo vocally.


title: Terrific CD with wonderful small booklet and 1 card (pulled Jen)

text: I'm happy with this most affordable CD. I basically wanted the song "Cool" by NMIXX, but for the same really low price got a small booklet, a card of Jen, all in a pretty and sturdy Jewel case. Great great deal!


title: Really nice variations on the original song -- but no tracks sounded like the original K-pop hits

text: I enjoyed this CD, especially for the low price, but none of the three CDs sound exactly like the original K-pop tracks: close, but much slower tempo. CD 1 sounds most like the originals, but either someone else is singing the songs or this is a very different version. I actually own some of the original CDs of these K-pop stars -- e.g. K.A.R.D.'s "Hola Hola" album, and the group did not sound exactly like them, but very similar.  My favorite CD is CD 2, where all of the songs are beautiful unique jazz versions of the songs. For me, that was what made the purchase worthwhile.  Otherwise, I would have been a bit disappointed.  CD 3 is like a techno version of the songs: good background exercise music but not my favorite.  I would have given this collection either a "4" or "3" because the songs do NOT sound like the originals, even in CD 1, BUT the jazz versions in CD1 were so wonderful that I just had to give the collection a "5".  In fact, the versions on CD 2 sound much more artistic than the originals. The musical arrangements are more beautiful and suave. Really great listening, but not the original sounds.


title: I love this CD. It is perfect. Cherrsee is a great J-pop group represented by a Kpop company

text: Don't hesitate on buying this CD. It has numerous wonderful songs and is one of the best J-pop groups ever.  They are represented by a Kpop company in Korea.  Cherrsee is a superb group. I also recommend FAKY (Surrender, Bad Things).


title: An amazing Kpop group and CD -- EVERY song is fantastic. Buy immediately!

text: This is a perfect K-pop CD by a perfect K-pop girl group that is not well known because their company is very small. If they were managed by one of the big three -- JYP, YG, or SM Entertainment -- they would be as big as Black Pink, Twice, and Momoland.  They sing as great as the better singing groups like Mamamoo, but with younger voices. So great. And they dance as wonderful as (G)I-dle and H.U.B.  Simply a very talented young group that needs to be supported.

Was originally going to return it and get the CD, but I didn't wan't to go through the hassle of re-packaging and all that, so I instead bought a record player. I am SO glad I kept it. Vinyl sounds much better than all the CD's I own and the digital copy I got with the vinyl. I do have to say, it was very dusty once I took it out, but a cleaning fixed it up nicely. Not many pops and clicks, so can't really complain. The lyric sheet font size was very small, but still readable, just wished they made it bigger by making it fold-able or something. But overall, I got what I paid for.


title: Great voice

text: She has a magical voice. This was a steal of a deal. She is loved by many in the DC area. Her CD is  a mus for ANY music lover. Truly a worth while purchase


title: Her voice is out of this world.

text: If you have ever wondered what a voice from Heaven would sound like then put this CD on, relax and snuggle up in your favorite chair, close your eyes and feel the Light descend upon you.


title: Great songwriting!!

text: When this EP was released there was nothing else  like it happening in the CCM market. It was groundbreaking. Great songwriting and creative  production. It was one of  the best (if not the best)  records put out by that market during the late 90’s!

text: okay like the packaging was just a little bit damaged and the spine was slightly askew but I don’t really mind. I’m really weird about actually liking my albums to have (from the actual manufacturing company, not from shipment) defects. it’s kinda cool. but I’m a huge history and everything came as promised! (I thought I’d add a bunch of photos bc there were none when I bought it ^^)


title: Wonderful sound

text: Listening to. these wonderful old songs sung by the inimitable Tony Bennet and the extraordinary Lady Gaga is a treat I keep giving myself as I drive around town.

text: I had just gotten back from a tour of Ireland where the tour guide introduced us to Noel Ginnety's comedy by putting in a CD while we were on a long bus ride.  I found myself laughing outloud with all my fellow passengers. What a treat to find a standup comedian where every other word doen't have to be bleeped out.  This is fun for all ages.  Try it!  I think you'll get a kick out of it.  I plan to purchase a couple more and probably in DVD format so I can actually see his facial expressions.

title: The Epitome of the Death/Black Metal Genre

text: From the opening moments of this disc all the way to the closing note it is quite clear that Aurora Borealis mean business when it comes to their musicianship as well as their conceptual approach to their songwriting. Where as other bands rely on imagery and gimmicks to capture listeners Aurora Borealis lets listeners create their own visions through the soundscape of perfectly blended atmosphere with brutality. It is also noteworthy that this release was recorded at the almighty Nightsky Studios with the main man of the band himself, Ron Vento. I also think the price of the cd is well worth the purchase. The packaging is stellar and all the artwork is done by the Visual Darkness artist and mastermind Mike Hrubovcak and captures the vibe of the release perfectly. For a band that has never played a live show or relied on airplay Aurora Borealis can still stand with the elite of the genre and still sound fresh even after 25 years of existence. Check them out!


My two daughters (age 17, 15) , son (age 11), and myself completely enjoyed listening to "With Lee in Virgina".  It was fast paced, adventurous, and funny.  Sound effects and voices made you feel like you were there.  Providing character to the context brought out the issues behind the Civil War and gave meaning to this historical time in America.  My only caution is that the battle scenes might be to graphic for those under the age of 9.

title: Caring seller

text: The first one came dented on 3 corners. The seller was very quick to apologize and offer to replace it. Her stock in SK cannot be shipped to US yet, so they are shipped from the US stock. She had no control over the packaging (not bubble wrapped), so I do not blame her. I ended up reordering it instead of replacing it and returning the dented one. It came perfect, no dents at all. Came with 5 photos, a photocard (larger than the usual), a cute BTS mirror, and the poster. Very happy when I received it today. Customer service was great 👍

Just something you should check out if you're reading this.

Aside from the particular style of this album that I'm fond of, Young is an excellent lyricist, and is in fine form here, as is her way.

title: Review for physical product, not music itself.

text:
All audio on the audio cd can be found for a free (band supported and sponsored) download on Nine Inch Nails' website:
[...]

This product is for the dedicated NIN fanbase. It does not disappoint.
This physical verison of "The Slip" brings back meaning for "Limited Edition." The term has become somewhat of a marketing gimmick as many companies label their products as "limited" and yet they remain in production years later. I was very pleased to find a unique xxx,xxx / 250,000 printed on the back of the of casing.

Inside you'll find the complete slip audio cd, 3 random artwork stickers for tracks off the album, a artwork/lyrics booklet, and a rehearsal DVD featuring 5 tracks; 1,000,000, Letting You, Discipline, Echoplex, and Head Down. The rehearsal DVD is my favorite part of this product as I prefer to listen to Robin Finck play lead guitar on all of these songs live over the album versions (especially Head Down.) I look forward to extracting the audio from the live recordings.

This product is a must own for anyone who openly refers to themselves as a Nine Inch Nails fan.

If you haven't heard the album, I suggest you download it for free (above) before purchasing this and possibly lowering it's product rating with unnecessary ignorance.

text:
Saw this in my favorite music store. It looked interesting and I thought, "what the heck....why not."  I am so glad that I did.  This is far better than the syrupy Let It Be or the Naked Let It Be.  I cannot fathom why the Beatles would have rejected this version in favor of the Phil Spector take.

If you like the Beatles, you won't be disappointed here. It rocks; reflects the humor of the group, and is, after all is said and done, a fine musical statement of where the band was at the time in their career.

title: I am disappointed

text: It's not very good.  I expected an acoustic collection of music and it's not, and the vocals are rough.  I liked 3 songs out of both disks.  I really love the Eagles music, but for me it's better to stick with what they already have out.  I am disappointed.  Spent too much.

If you grew up on traditional country trucker music and are longing to hear that in a newer sound these are the guys for you. I found a song they did called fourteen gears which I can't find on an album anywhere but wish I could. My dad was a trucker and their sound brings back so many memories for me. I absolutely love these guys and they make it look good. You can't go wrong with Midland!

title: Well Worth the Money

text: If you remember and LIKE Peter Rivera's voice on "I Just Want to Celebrate", you need both albums.  I think the songs Rivera did not sing on are worse for it. Why replace a distinctive voice for a generic voice? He could complete a song just by singing it.


title: Hauntingly Beautiful!!

text:
From the CD cover design to the choice of repertoire, INCANTATIONS is beautifully detailed, slightly sinister, and playfully subversive.

Staying true to its Seattle Girls' Choir lineage in this recording, Ancora effortlessly spins out beautiful, pure tone like a delicate but tensile silken web. The repertoire makes choral music approachable to the novice and surprising to the devotee. Still skeptical? Just treat your ears to the melodic shrieks and cries of the woodland creatures and witches in Mulligatawny Macbeth.

Simply put, Tess Orozco and Ancora cast a spell on the listener with each beautiful interpretation -- simple and magical. The debut of INCANTATIONS is yet more proof that talented women are a powerful force to be reckoned with. I for one can't wait to sample their next brew!!

title: Underexposed Canadian Rock That Deserves More Attention

text: I bought this cd as an important along with its predecessor, "Starry". That proved to be money well spent. Sometimes, music doesnt need to be deep or finely-crafted to be great. This is a case in point. There arent any moments of genius on this album, but it contains so many songs that are catchy and fun to listen to that musical value means little. The manic opening track, "Rave And Drool", I consider one of the most exciting songs recorded. This is music to listen to when your looking for nothing more than a good time. Its good driving music, too. I personally could do without "Space Girl" (a solo by, I believe, the drummer) and "Grown Up Scared", 2 songs I consider unneccesary and needless. I would love to have seen how this wouldve done had it been distributed officially in the USA. I give "Starry" 4 stars as well, with a slight preference. I recommend buying both and deciding yourself which one is better.

title: Nothing Is As It Seems - Intriguing and well written, gripping!

text:
This was the first book in the David Raker series I have read and it was very easy to read as a stand alone novel. Tim Weaver writes impeccably with a wonderful grasp of what the reader wants in my opinion. A very good plot that twists and turns wonderfully adds to what is good in this book.

When Leonard Franks and his wife Ellie leave the clamor of London for a dream retirement on the seclusion of Dartmoor, everything seems perfect. But then the dream shatters. Late on a January afternoon, only two years into their new life, Leonard leaves the house to fetch firewood - and never returns. Nine months later, he's still missing.

With the police investigation dead in the water, Ellie and her family turn to David Raker. Raker tracks down missing people for a living. He knows how they think. But nothing can prepare him for what he's about to find.

Leonard's disappearance is out of the ordinary, no clues were left behind as to where he went, why he went or indeed did he leave or was he taken, it seems he vanished into thin air on the moors of Dartmoor not far from his home. It seems an impossible thing, yet it happened.

Leonard is a retired high ranking police officer and his daughter, Melanie Craw is a police officer too. Melanie has come across David Raker in the past, in her career under different circumstances and it is she who asks Raker, with his private investigation skills to find her dad.

As Raker begins his investigation there are a lot of brick walls and diversions, it's not a clear cut path for him at all. This is where the author really shines with his writing as he hold the readers interest during each and every moment of the plot rolling out. It's fascinating to watch the pieces of the puzzle start to come together as we watch Raker dig deep to find answers.

With a cast of strong characters, Fall From Grace is a memorable read, a slightly different take on most crime books I read, it's interesting having it coming from the angle of a PI rather than an entire police team. The characters are fascinating, many of them dual sided with depth.

This is a book where nothing is as it seems, it keeps you guessing all the way along, even to the very end. I could not predict the outcomes and situations that Raker was going to come up against, very cleverly inserted into the book. Just when I thought I had it all worked out I would be flipped on my head to realise I had worked nothing out. It really doesn't expose it's secrets easily this book.

The plot is excellent, it moves at a steady pace, with consistency. Some of the settings for the story are fascinating and I liked the way there was so much movement from location to location. From metropolitan London streets to the moors of Dartmoor, to little towns in Devon and more. It had me sucked in to the scenes well and truly.

As Raker uncovers more than he bargains for and the answers start to come to light the final few chapters really move along with plenty of revelations and action as long hidden secrets and lies are exposed and the victim, perpetrator and bystander roles all seem to meld together until you don't know what is what. But then the mist clears again.

My ONLY criticism in this book is I felt the ending was a touch rushed and it was a bit of an info-dump, lots of conversation and things being revealed but it felt a bit forced, again, it's a minor criticism as the book is an excellent read.

It's not a graphically violent crime novel, it's pure sleuthing and it's done with finesse and style. I can highly recommend this book to both old and new fans of the David Raker series, and newcomers to the books don't be shy either, I will certainly be reading more of this series now I have had my first taste of it.

4.5 stars for Fall From Grace. A very good read.
Comment


title: No drama, no exitment

text:
Villa-Lobos is the only Brazilian “classic” composer that ever made to the mainstream. Besides soccer players and retired or dead F1- racers, Brazilians don’t have a lot of cultural or national heroes. They hear a lot about Villa-Lobos, as if he was the ultimate genius that “shown Brazil to the world”. Brazilians are very sensitive about their own image and enjoy to be noticed by the rest of the world, something that barely happens. The nationalism propaganda in Brazil turned Villa-Lobos into a cultural giant that amazed the whole world, promoting Brazilian ingenuity.  Villa-Lobos made - and still makes - Brazilians proud of their country even if they hardly know his music.

Villa-Lobos is popular with classic guitar players because of his collection of Prelude and Etudes. These compositions are often compared to Chopin’s homonymous compositions for the piano.

The Bachianas Brasileiras are great compositions. The #5 is by far Villa-Lobos’ most famous work.

“Floresta do Amazonas” is a true masterpiece. Unfortunately, it is seldom performed. It reminds me of Respighi. Although, it is better than Respighi.  But you wouldn’t know this from this Neshling performance.

I discovered this music when I listened to it on the radio in Rio about 35 years ago. The recording that played on the radio was probably the only one at that time. It is a recording conducted by the composer in the early days of the stereo era. I could not believe when I saw the CD of this recording at Future Shop in Canada about 20 years ago. For what I see, it has been out of print.

I read or heard a while ago that Villa-Lobos was a great composer but a lousy conductor. This Neschling recording made me realize how great conductor Villa-Lobos was. All the excitement and drama from the Villa-Lobos recording are nowhere to find in Neschling’s. Neshcling is also slower. On the hypothetical plus side, Neschling brought the complete score. It is only now that I realize that Villa-Lobos’ recording had cuts. But I dispute the quality of this extra music. I wonder whether Villa-Lobos was fond of this music and decided to take them out from his recording. Or maybe the reason was that his recording was intended to fit in only one LP. The truth is that the final product in Villa-Lobos’ recording, with the cuts, is preferable than this complete score. Villa-Lobos knew better.

On the Villa-Lobos recording we also had Bidu Sayao in great shape. To fully appreciate Villa-Lobos genius, you have to find his recording (it is on youtube, btw). After you listen to that one a few times and get familiar with the music, give Neschling a try.

Two stars because the sound recording is pretty good.

Absolutely couldn't put this book down.  I read this one and the previous book in about a 10-day timespan.  The author's writing skill, plus the subject matter, makes this a wonderful page turner.  However, this isn't because it's mindless fluff.  Although some of it is fictionalized dialogue (we obviously don't know exactly what was said day by day at Valley Forge), the historical dates, people, and actions is 100% accurate and since the author uses letters and other historical content as the basis for the dialogue, some of it is actually the real deal.

I know what the history books say.  Schaara's books are a wonderful way to relive the Amercian Revolution from a different perspective.


title: One Of The Best Baseball Stories Ever Told!

text:
With an idea birthed in 1961 after the death of Ty Cobb, "The Glory Of Their Times" is filled with first-person interviews of some of the most note-worthy baseball players of first quarter of the 20th Century Baseball (such as Stan Coveleski, Sam Crawford, Fred Merkel, Rube Marquard, Smoky Joe Wood, Fred Snodgrass, Goose Goslin - to name only a few) and several from the second quarter (such as Hank Greenberg and Paul Waner).  Also included are interviews from many baseball players that you've probably NEVER heard of including Davy Jones, Bill Wambsganss, Tommy Leach, Hans Lobert, and Jimmy Austin - all great players in their own right but for whom time has largely forgot.  Not only do these players talk about growing up playing baseball, their sometimes circuitous and or tortured routes to the major leagues, and their playing careers, but they also talk at length about their peers, memorable events and games, and such immortals of the game as Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, John McGraw, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Frank Chance, Honus Wagner, and even Jim Thorpe and the 1919 Black Sox.  Recorded over a five-year span, the interviews that author Lawrence Ritter taped are both unforgettable and irreplaceable.  Back when baseball was more a team sport and the men played for the love of the game and not the money, the stories in the book make for an interesting and telling comparison to many of today's players who seem to have trouble talking about anything other than themselves.

Many of the stories I liked best in the book were of the "challenged player makes good" variety.  Read about Smoky Joe Wood going from lights-out World Series champion starter to useful outfielder.  Or Chief Meyers' & Hank Greenberg's stories about overcoming racial prejudice.  Or 19 year old Paul Waner showing up at training camp with the San Francisco Seals and going from a sore-armed starter into a Hall of Fame outfielder.  Or how Sam Crawford could be one of the most under-rated players in Major League history (despite being in the Hall of Fame) due to sharing the same outfield with Ty Cobb.  Or how the deaf and mute "Dummy" Hoy overcame his seeming disabilities to craft a very good 14 year career.  Stories like this are very seldom found in baseball books which focus on the stars of the day to the almost complete absence of everyone else.

As if the book needed anything else, the pictures that are included in the book are fabulous.  One of the reviewers has already mentioned a photo of Walter Johnson casually standing next to friend Clyde Milan and almost all of the interviews include at least one photo of the player in question and also included are many of the players, teams, plays, and places that these old timers describe in almost unbelievable detail 30-40 years after the fact.  It's useful to read the author's notes and the forward and he illustrates the path that he took in creating the book and states that much time was spent in corroborating the stories, plays, and stats that the players seemingly threw out off the tops of their heads.  The glossary at the end of the book is also useful as a reference if you want to go back to a story about a particular player or team.

All put together, this is an engrossing tale which every baseball fan should own!


title: Beautiful performance!

text: After a quick cleaning, I found this vinyl recording from the 1970’s to be in excellent condition. The performances captured in its grooves are superb and enchanting. I will listen to it many times!


title: Nostalgia at it's finest.

text:
I love the Big Shiny series.

Disc was used but arrived in good working order.


title: Classic

text:
Being a 90's gal in Canada, Big Shiny Tunes was standard fare. Nice to be able to relive my past! :)

Order arrived promptly and in good condition (was a used disc).


title: He Touched Me

text:
Disc 1 is so bad you can't bear to listen to it. The quality is horrible.  Disc 2 is fine.  I don't want to return it for a replacement because I  think all the CDs in this batch are bad.  First disc is so bad at times you don't recognize the song. I could only stand to listen to the  first 6 songs.  I would really like to return it  for a refund or credit.

Amazon replaced it with a good one  It is beautiful!


title: ONE OF THE BEST!

text: MUSIC TO RELAX BY, EVEN FALL ASLEEP TO.  For years I have plugged in my headphones and drifted away with this music. I was surprised to see there were no reviews. This is the music I use when life's stresses get to be too much.


title: Buy for the memories

text:
My husband had recorded this from a cassette (kids, look up cassette tape) to CD (look up CD as well).

He's glad to have the real version and listens to it constantly.


title: Five Stars

text: Love the CD


title: Heart fans, perk up.

text:
I first heard this in a 1993 radio broadcast and recorded it on cassette.  That crappy copy is all I've had of this since then.  I was very pleased to see it pop up unexpectedly on Amazon.
This was recorded after the 2nd incarnation of the band imploded, therefore it is billed as "Ann & Nancy Wilson".  If one needs a HEART point of reference, this was just after 'Desire Walks On' and just before "The Road Home".  This CD sounds more like the latter.  Great sound quality, as well.  This in-between period for the girls yielded some nice sounds.  They seem to be enjoying themselves and it's clear they've taken the band's sound back.  All the glitz, glam and over-production of the cocaine fueled 80s sound melts away here and leaves us with a stripped down, more organic sounding Heart.

Since no track list is in the description, here you go:

1-DJ Intro
2-Back To Avalon
3-Cherry Blossom Road
4-Love Mistake
5-Anything Is Possible
6-DJ Commentary
7-Battle Of Evermore
8-These Dreams
9-Crazy On You
10-Ring Them Bells


title: Icelandic folk music, what's not to like?

text:
After years and years of searching, I accidentally stumbled upon this Islandica release.  I had recorded this version of Maistjarnan (track 2) from radio to cassette in the early nineties but never knew who it was.

It was a pleasure to find that the entire CD is quite good.  Icelandic folk songs with a very atmospheric, almost New Agey flavor.  Stark arrangements and wispy 'into-the-void' vocals peppered about make this a wonderfully pleasant listen.  If you're a fan of Icelandic Folk or World Music, this is a very nice collection of songs.


title: Excellent late 70s prog!

text: I pretty much agree with everything T. Thomas and D. Cooper have said already. Rocket Roll = cheesy attempt at commercialism. The rest of the record is great. Very unique. They absolutely WERE an influence on Rush. They said so in at least one or two liner notes (Exit Stage Left I know for sure). I always felt that the overall vibe of Seventh Heaven influenced Subdivisions - the time sig, and the little between verses moog melody... Great to see these four early discs remastered and put on CD FINALLY! City of Fear is no slouch, and in some ways, a stronger, more cohesive album. Just shorter songs with more pop/rock sensibilities.


title: Five Stars

text: This is great.


title: Not an original press, but...

text: it's all there! thank you!!! From cover to CD!


title: A joy from the past !

text: I'm always a little hesitant ordering cassettes......they just wear out in time. But sometimes all a well-loved album from the past never makes it to CD.  However, this one was in excellent condition, just as I remember it ...........hearing the Psalms put to beautiful voices  with an added plus of Chuck Smith's narration. Sheer joy!


title: Marvelous creative gem !

text: Jeff Johnson has his own remarkable, inventive style.  Each song takes off with surprising new direction. An excellent listening experience. Lyrics range from light and breezy to downcast and thoughtful. His sound effects defy description. A 1980 classic. Well worth having!


title: Wrong Picture

text: Amazon or seller please put up the correct picture to go with the product name. I'm interested in Larry Norman's "Sticks and Stone"  but  the picture is of something else. With this discrepency, I think I'll just look elsewhere.  I think you'd get a more people interested  if you put the proper picture of Larry Norman's "Sticks and Stones" next to the product description. Shoppers,  this is actually a 5+ CD (The cd by Larry Norman "Sticks and Stones") Thanks


title: Seamless collaboration, Jonathan shines

text: This album “Shadows Fall “beautifully played and sung. Jonathan takes on Lush life with a sweet pathos that is displayed in several cuts on the album. Jonathan’s performance shows that there is a star that should be soaring up the jazz charts with truly beautiful renditions of familiar standards and less known songs.


title: Audiobook is Abridged

text:
Lauren Bacall is known for her teaming on screen and off with Humphrey Bogart. She was a stage actress and model before coming to Hollywood, but her talents kept her regularly on the screen until her death in 2014. This book was originally published as "By Myself" and later supplemented and re-titled "and Then Some" during the Bush administration, which she lampoons. It is interesting to hear her opinions on then current events, although the first portion of the book is infinitely more interesting than the second in which she mostly praises people she knew or worked with after their passing. She lived a long time, which unfortunately made her witness to many of her contemporaries' deaths, but she is much less self-reflective than I would have liked. Overall it seems that although she loved acting, the people in her life meant more to her than anything, so don't expect a lot of details about making individual films. She skips over many of them completely.

The audiobook is abridged, which turns me off completely, except for the fact that the author reads it, and according to the box, approved the abridgment. That makes it seem less sinful, but I can’t help but constantly wonder what I’m missing out on.


title: I listened to both and there is a difference, this is a fully licensed and legal edition

text:
Here's what you are buying - a fully stereophonic performance of the entire score supervised by its composer by the Symphonie Orcheser Granuke in Berlin, the same orchestra in Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty and countless other films and recordings. It was previously released on GNP Crescendo records but long out of print. This is a fully legal reissue, but instead of just remaking it and letting it go at that, the disc does sound very different than the Crescendo.

I have both, so what I did was load them on my Apple Music and separate each track next to each other. Then I listened in headphones. Anyone could tell that effort and expense went into remixing and enhancing. the sound. The Crescendo disc is still very good, but on the new one, the various instruments are more distinct and various aspects are emphasized differently. There are also a few extra seconds of material. I am keeping both discs. I love this score -- only wish I had been smart enough to get the soundtrack before it was sold out, now it's way too expensive!


title: Monkee Malaise

text: Tork-less and mostly soulless, "The Monkees Present" (1969) finds the group on its last legs before Mike Nesmith's departure. "Listen to the Band," "Mommy and Daddy" and "Looking for the Good Times" easily stand out among the dross. Lousy cover art to boot. Micky and Davy fulfilled their contractual obligations with the equally forgettable "Changes" (1970).


title: A Collection Of Great Dance Songs...

text:
If you get the reference, you already know what I'm going to say.

It's a compilation- and like previous compilations it's got a slightly more diverse selection than previous compilations, so that makes it different.  Right?

Not that the music isn't great, but if you're fan- heck, if you've already got Echoes- you're pretty well set already.  Always nice to hear the boys at their best in one package, but it's nothing you don't already have, or can burn on your own.


title: Three CD's filled with wonderful music.  Well worth it and buying another set for the house !

text: Such fun listening to this great bunch of talented musicians.  The music is perfect for a long road trip, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen.  I have my favorites, but every one of the tracks are a joy to listen to.


title: Love Tony Bennet and Lady Gaga, but not a good sound track.

text: I was anxious to hear the music from two of my favorites, but was disappointed at the sound track.  It stopped, had strange ambient sounds in it.  Was not crisp and clean as it should have been, and I was sadly disappointed in its quality.


title: One Star

text: All the tracks are basically the same. Not my own personal cup of tea. Your preferences may differ.


title: Awesome

text: This is his older songs but they are still great anything he does is the best.


title: Had high hopes for this pillow to work for me

text: I was so hopeful this pillow would help with my chronic neck pain.  I've lived with chronic neck and shoulder pain for many years.  I've tried many different pillows and back support items.  This was ok for me, it didn't give me the relief I needed to get a restful night's sleep.<br />It is a comfortable pillow, it just didn't relieve the pain and pressure.  I still found myself waking up quite a bit to adjust it or switch to another pillow to get back to sleep.  Perhaps this would work for someone who has milder issues.


title: Fascinating

text:
This is an out-of-print BBC DVD from the early 2000's, part of the Oliver Sacks Mind Traveller series. Other titles in the series include "Don't Be Shy, Mr. Sacks: Williams Syndrome," "The Island of the Colorblind" and "The Ragin' Cajun: Monochromatism" aka "The Ragin' Cajun: Usher Syndrome."

"Shane Fistel is a talented sculptor and painter. He also suffers from Tourette's Syndrome, that often misunderstood condition that historically has been misdiagnosed as insanity and even demonic possession. In this program, neurologist/author Oliver Sacks explores his unique friendship with Shane. Together they travel to the Charcot Library at the Salpetriere in Paris to learn more about Tourette's syndrome. This condition, first described in 1885 by Jean-Martin Charcot's colleague Gilles de la tourette, is a neruchemical disorder. Due to its influence, a charismatic individual totally lackin in social inhibitions, feels compelled to act in ways that others find antisocial and threatening."

title: One of the best at gosble

text: Good music in my car


title: Good collection from 2001 to 2007

text: This best of focuses on the albums the world needs a hero, the system has failed, and united abominations, with md 45 also there.  The photo here on amazon shows the tracklist, 21 total.  It is Russian or Ukrainian in origin.  Very good quality non-cdr.  Nice addition to a collection for a completist like me


title: Fantastic Album!

text:
I purchased this European Deluxe Mediabook version on amazon uk and had it shipped to the US because the price was the best at the time, and it was well worth it. Century Media (cmdistro) in the USA is now finally carrying this also. This is Voivod's first really new material in 4 years (several live or demo material albums released though) and it was well worth the wait. This features the new gutiarist "Chewy" who replaced the late "Piggy" and the return of Blacky. From top to bottom, this album is way more energetic and mixed significantly better with better production than Infini and Katorzs. Those albums were good in their own right, and a great way to use Piggy's last work up as a tribute. This album is fast, and very reminiscent of Angel Rat and Outer Limits guitar work and song structure. This has the thrash elements, and the long technical Prog elements that both those albums had. I really enjoy the tracks Mechanical Mind, Kaleidos, and Kalskap O'kom, but in general all the tracks are very good.

For collectors like me there is the standard version with 10 track, and this Mediabook version with Deluxe mediabook, 2 stickers, and 2 bonus live at Roadburn 2012 tracks (Target Earth and Man in The Trees). There is also a Box set version (limited to 1000 supposedly, exclusive to record label distributor) that includes a poster, belt, this European Mediabook version, and the rare previously vinyl only "Live at Roadburn 2011" set. Finally, there is a difference between the European Mediabook and Japanese deluxe jewel case version is the last 2 bonus tracks being Tibal convictions (live at 2012 roadburn) and Nothingface (live at 2012 roadburn) on the Japanese cd. I actaully own this european mediabook, the box set, and this japanese versions because I am a collector, and this material is just that good. Hope this his helpful for those looking for the difference between versions.

Great album, long time fans will love this, new fans will see a good product also.


title: Not the Ronnie James Dio Band as this is Listed on Amazon.

text:
This is Actually a German Techno Rock Band and it was recorded in 1999 released on Noise International. it is a German languange album, and is not half bad, unless you are looking for the US blues rock band ELF (formerly The Electric Elves or The Elves), then this would be a big dissapointment. Here is the track listing:
Tracklist Hide Credits¨< .
1  Rebellenkinder  3:41
2  Komm Her  2:49
3  Punkland  3:16
4  St. Pauli Leuchtet Nur Hier  4:32

13  Mein Kleines Hirn  3:13


title: Very dated, caution on approach

text: When this album came out, it may have fit in, but as many albums in the 80's turned out, they were meant to stay in the 80's.  This is the most synth pop-solo album by a Pink Floyd member that came out during this time.  David Gilmour's About Face was dated, and is tough to listen to at times for me, but this album is quite a struggle. Unless you are a Pink Floyd completest, this album is one that could be avoided and allowed to hit the dollar bin's at record stores.  As a note, the album has a few good melodies,and it makes me chuckle a bit at having lived through a time period that could have allowed this to be produced. That is the only reason why I gave it 2 stars instead of one. Approach with extreme caution.


title: Great Solo Debut for frontman of Caroline's Spine

text:
This amazon listing is currently under Ashley Ave., but it is actually Jimmy Newquist-Ashley Ave. This is Jimmy's first solo record after leaving the Caroline's Spine name behind. It is on the 7th Kid Entertainment label.  It is a blend of sounds with more use of acoustic guitars and a southern rock tinge.  Not as loud or hard rock as caroline's spine.  The lyrics and melodies are very much like what you would expect.  My favorite songs are Contagious, Crazy Days, and Someone.  Here is a full track listing:
1. Welcome
2. Contagious
3. Come Over Here
4. The Road
5. Secret
6. Another Mary
7. Around You
8. Beautiful
9. Crazy Days
10. Words
11. Far Away
12. Out To Play
13. Someone
14. Fly

I hope this is helpful for all the collectors out there.  This is a tough to find album, but snag it if you can.  Nice addition to a Caroline's Spine Collection.


title: just nothing new, retro/techno sound.

text:
At times, this ep sounds a bit like blondie, others like the bad soundtrack to a 60's/70's film. It does even sound a bit like some of modonna's stuff in the more recent times.  It just not my cup of tea.  I do think though, if you like dance and female vocals, then this may be more up your alley. I won't shred this album to much, because I know a lot of other folks do like this, but again, it's just not for me.  Here is a track listing of this four song ep

1. On The Earth (3:08)

2. Muzika Dlya Fil'ma(5:43)

3. Nice Day (4:00)

4. Nice Day-broken spindels remix (4:08)-non album bonus track


title: Sorcerer's Apprentice is magical.

text: Grew up with this and always wanted to share it with my own children.  Too late for that, but I'm still hoping for grandchildren!


title: Vintage Mark Trammell CD production

text: Another one of the early productions of Mark Trammell, good but not as well done as his later presentations.  Again, the tenor is well done by Eric Phillips and is well worth owning for my collection.  I believe I now have all the CD's available.


title: CRACKED CASE AS USUAL,  BUT THE CD IS AWESOME, WELL MADE, TRUE SOUND

text: It Rocks, I never heard the Beatles Song "Come Together".  As Cocker does it. It will Blow Your Mind, Truly Awesome Sound.  All the Classic Joe Cocker are there.  With a Little Help from My Friends, Up Where We Belong, You are So Beautiful, You can leave Your Hat On, Unchain My Heart, etc.  If, you want Best Album, This is It.


title: Finally, Bonnie in True Stereo, Sony/BMG,

text: Faster Than The Speed Of Night, Total Eclipse Of The Heart, Holding Out For A Hero and It's A Heartache.<br />A Bonnie Tyler True Fan.  Like Taylor Dayne, Bonnie really knows how to belt it out.  The Jim Steinman Hits.


title: NOT IMPORT, SAME THING As the Lower Priced The Platinum Collection,  Label : NOT NOW MUSIC

text: Shame on Amazon. Higher Priced, Because Relabeled.


title: RETURNED

text: NO STEREO SPLIT. BAD NEWS !


title: Fritz Reiner/ Spain/ SACD

text: Spain by Reiner, Fritz Hybrid SACD - DSD, Original recording remastered edition (2007).  I bought this disc, Fritz Reiner, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and SACD.  The selections by deFalla and Granados delight the ear and soul with their magical charms. Reiners's tight control of the strings and brass presents a true delight. I recommend this highly to anyone wanting to hear Chicago at it's best.


title: Moody Blues not as Good as On The Threshold Of A Dream nor Days Of Future Passed

text: First of All, Courier for Amazon, Rare Not Damaged. It is Remaster and 100% Stereo. I listened to It.<br />It is 100% Remaster and Stereo.


title: CLASSIC SAM COOKE, SMOOTH, SOULFUL, HE WAS AN INSPIRATION

text: Sam Cooke to, indeed, be the man who invented soul; his matchless synthesis of gospel, pop and rhythm and blues is as inspirational today as it was nearly fifty years ago.


title: GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY, GREAT SOUND TEST, GREAT MUSIC 2008

text:
A GREAT SACD CD, Though entitled “Super Test SACD” this is more a showcase for some current and future isoMike releases. It does not attempt to cover the same ground as say PentaTone’s “Stay in tune with PentaTone” Stay in Tune with PentaTone by including test tones, but instead allows the musical excerpts and demonstration tracks to speak for themselves.

Of the twenty-one tracks, the first nine are recordings made at Weber State University of the WSU Drum and Bugle Corps and WSU Marching Band and feature some stunningly realistic sounds. All the recordings on this disc are made in 4.00 surround sound, but such is the accuracy and clarity of the recordings that I kept checking my centre speaker, as due to the solidity of the centre image I could not believe that no sound was emanating from it. There is no limiting used so the dynamic range is very large indeed and care should be taken with volume settings when playing the disc through to avoid scaring pets, annoying neighbours or damaging speakers (the first two will get over it but the latter may not).

IsoMike have sensibly cut the demo. tracks at a slightly lower level than the instrumental and chamber music excerpts (tracks 10-12 and 17-21). The excerpt from Rachmaninov’s Trio élégiaque by the Amelia Piano Trio (tr.11) definitely makes one eager for the release of the complete work. The WSU Concert Choir appears on track 16 singing, in English, an interesting arrangement of Bach’s well-known ‘Komm süsse Tod’. This is particularly impressive sonically, with the listener being made to feel that they are part of the audience, not least by the most realistic recording of applause that one can imagine. A complete performance of Mozart’s Fantasy in C minor K475 played by Robert Silverman is the penultimate and longest track on the disc (13’30”), and although the piano sound was of demonstration quality, surprisingly, the recording was marred by a low background hum (from inside the venue?), something that it is hoped will be remedied for the commercial release of his recital disc.

As an exemplar for the isoMike recording system, this is an impressive SACD


title: Fake: not "Original Soundtrack", which was in stereo.

text: Caution: this is NOT "original soundtrack" as advertised.  It is MONO.  I have LP in stereo.


title: Outstanding Soundtrack!

text:
I have been waiting for the soundtrack to The Changeling for years.  I tried to buy one of the original soundtrack recordings, and the price was out of this atmosphere!  I wasn't willing to pay 75 dollars for it, so I had to wait. My patience paid off, and here it is, re-released and just as vibrant and hauntingly beautiful as the first time I heard it.  This soundtrack music is lovely, frightening, and haunting...all at once.  If you are a fan of the movie, you will not be disappointed.  I've watched this movie a thousand times since it was released years ago, and I'm never tired of it, and I have never ceased to love the music either.  The music box theme is a special favorite, evoking all sorts of emotions in the listener.

If you love the movie, grab one of these cd's now.  I believe this is also a limited edition of perhaps 1000 cd's, or so I've heard.


title: Most beautiful soundtrack EVER

text: I have to say that I am writing this review based on the music I heard while watching the movie, not because I own the soundtrack cd or because I know anyone who has it and I've listened to it myself.  I know nothing of the sound quality of the recording, etc.  All I know is that this music is among my favorite and I'm so disappointed that it is and has been unavailable for many years.  This is one cd I would LOVE to have, but it isn't available anywhere that I can find.  If you haven't seen the movie, give it a try.  It's sweet, and the music as I have said, is as wonderful as the movie itself.  These moving compositions deserve to be re-released and I only hope that I can own a copy eventually.


title: Great Album - Worth The Wait

text: Another great album from my favorite band.  Carmen's Man and Blues For Mr. Mu are great tracks.


title: Every Bert Kaempfert tune, by Johhny Mathis is a Golden One

text: This CD of the double LP has been looking forward to for years. Not for nothing Johnny Mathis travelled to Bert Kaempfert in Germany. Too bad this CD is so difficult (or not) available. Excellent digital remastering. For every Johnny Mathis fan, a "must have".


title: Don't do it!

text: Save your money. I prefer the ABKCO SACD. I found the vocals tubby and hollow. Even the old London import from Japan (so-called "MFSL" master) is better.


title: Comfortable for back sleeping

text: This is a very comfortable pillow for back sleeping.  As a 5'7" man its only  so-so for side sleeping unless I put a towel under it folded in quarters to elevate it about 0.5 to 0.75in.  I mostly sleep on my back, so that's not an issue.  I ended up giving this to my 5'1" wife, and it's perfect for her (on her back and her side).  Overall, I'm happy with the quality and comfort.  My wife likes it too (now that she uses it on her side of the bed).


title: Great gift For a pre-teen Fan

text: I liked the appearance ,the cover and package .Its seaside after all!


title: I LOVE the  Brother Gibbs!!!

text: What a great collection of hit singles on just one CD!!! I think most of the songs on this disc are the album versions too.


title: an enjoyable CD

text: I liked this CD (especially "Get Here"), but I have to admit, I like their new stuff better.  Still, it's a very good CD and I'm glad I added it to my collection.  Anything by Tonic Sol-fa is good!


title: Great album

text: This album is great to listen to. I can repeat listening to these 2 cd over and over again. I love it.


title: Telemann, Tell-a-friend!

text: These are delightful pieces, performed with brio.  (I was also very lucky to get the two CDs, new and still in shrink-wrap, for $4!  They are worth far more.)


title: Dean Martin has a wonderful voice.

text: What a great cd.


title: Great cd.

text: Great cd.


title: Wonderful CD

text: Annie Lennox's unique voice is very comforting to me.  This is a very good CD.


title: Five Stars

text: Elvis is still the best!


title: ... CD and now Fernando Ortega is one of my favorite Christian music CDs to listen to

text: I took a chance on this CD and now Fernando Ortega is one of my favorite Christian music CDs to listen to.  His music is wonderful.  I would recommend it for anyone who wants to listen to beautiful, calming Christian prayer music.


title: Five Stars

text: I bought this before it even came out expecting only the best as usual from Celine but she has chosen some music that just doesn't do justice for her spectacular voice.  This is my least favorite CD of hers and the only one I don't love a lot.  Sorry, Celine.

title: Disappointing...

text: This is not the radio show segment that I was led to believe it was.  I was looking for a particular duet between Sinatra and Ms. Kirsten, which was supposed to be on a CD that looked just liked this.  Unfortunately, the song list was NOT included in the Amazon.com description of this CD.  My own fault...

title: Great value

text: Very comfortable and supportive of neck and shoulders. It is so soft but thick enough not to sink while being laid on.


title: Awesome collection of unreleased dubstep

Over the course of the past decade or so, Soul Jazz Records have gradually become one of the more venerable ones around, releasing not only slews of great singles, but some of the best obscure and otherwise compilations around, not only dipping into great music of the past, but keeping astride of current musical trends as well. It should come as no surprise then, that their first compilation of dubstep absolutely cranks. Yes, other people have put out compilations of dubstep music, but Soul Jazz have gathered all the heavy hitters here, and just in case that wasn't enticing enough all the tracks are exclusive to this release.

  Although favorites Digital Mystikz are featured twice on the release and kick things off, the first real crusher on the compilation is "The Light" by Sub Version, featuring Paul St. Hilaire (aka Tikiman). The track itself is insanely swarming, with two layers of massive bass swerving over the top of one another while choppy beats rattle around it all. Hilaire's vocals are mixed in-your-face hot at times, turning the track into an aggressive feast of sound. Skream contributes two new tracks as well, and both of them are stunning, with the excellent "Sub Island" dropping some cracking beats and bassbin-destroying low-end that nicely offset delayed piano and melodica lines.

  Kode 9 comes haunting with a typically great cut that juxtaposes sparse, but dense droning sections with crushing and relentlessly-building moments that keep the tension high. For many, one of the first tracks that they skip to on the release is the new cut from Burial and it doesn't disappoint at all, rushing forward with a speedier, almost two step rhythm and pitched female vocals that push the track into a slightly more airy territory that's exciting given the largely claustrophobic debut from the artist.

  Other than the aforementioned artists, the compilation also contains tracks by King Midas Sound, Tayo Meets Acid Rockers Uptown, and a couple outstanding cuts from Scuba that growl with heart-murmuring slabs of modulated bass and a slew of great effects that help set it apart. In many ways, this is the sort of dubstep release that's good for everyone. Because the tracks are exclusive (and great to outstanding in terms of quality), fans of the genre in general are going to want to go ahead and get this one right away, but it also makes a great introduction to those who are wondering where to dive in.
