title: I lways enjoyed rock music

text: The first time I heard Led Zeppelin I was working as a motorcycle mechanic before I graduated in april 1970 in Bristol Mills Maine. I lways enjoyed rock music, but when I heard "Good Times Bad Times" on the AM radio I was sold on this band. I bought the first album and played it just like my first and second steppenwolf albums, as often as possible. The Whole Lotta Love hit the airwaves and that LP was so popular I couldn't get my hands on one until after I got out of the army (Drafted 2 months after of high school and "NAM" ). I had quite a collection of rare now LP's at one time and every Led Zeppelin record out there. Then my injuries came back to haunt me like many others so the records produced much needed money at the time. I have a small collection of LP's  and a huge collection of CD's (I was a Pro DJ/KJ and Recording Studio Sound Tech for 30 plus years). Now it's time to get Led Zeppelin and others replaced with the new remastered versions. I just couldn't believe what a great job they did. I can actully hear every little sound produced now. FANTASTIC ! Don't waste any time thinking, these 2014 remasters of this band are sold at a real deal price for the quality I'm experiencing. I bought Led Zeppelin  I and II  yesterday at Wal Mart because so I checked out the cd's and they were there. Life is short, Enjoy ! Stan


title: What a CD!

text: I own the original gatefold pressing in vinyl and it's probably one of the best out there for quality sound. My wife bought me the remastered version on vinyl and it surprised me that they could make it sound even better. Now I have it on CD and it sounds fantastic as well. Don't wait. The best Dave Mason album there is without a doubt, and it's not expensive. Thanks, Stan


title: Hard to see the autograph

text: Love the album but you can barely see the autograph. Had I paid more, I would have been extremely unhappy.


title: Great Collection

text: My favorite collection of these classic hits. Condition of the cover was poor and fully split apart or would be 5 stars.


title: Arrived properly, excellent ... nice job 😉

text: It is worthwhile to write on the box ... Caution is fragile ... sensitive to heat and blows 😊


title: Five Stars

text: Amazing b day present to my awesome co worker and great great friend


title: Five Stars

text: Just awesome


title: Tonda Gossa!

text: This is a great soundtrack filled to the brim with remixes from the Japan-only cult classic Nintendo game: Mother 3. A great gift for the obsessive Earthbound/Mother fan in your life that won't shut up about it. I initially paid ~$35 for a copy in 2015, an amount I consider worth every penny as I still listen to the album in 2018. Makes for great focus/study music.


title: Wasn't Blown Away

text: After hearing the song "Kiss and Tell" I ran out to buy this album. Aside from that song the album consists pretty average pop-punk songs, nothing too mind blowing. If the band was still making music I would be interested in seeing what thyey could do. Ultimatley though Sugarcoat was lacking.


title: hot tub music

text:
It's ok for a hot tub session. I wouldn't recommend it for driving.
It's one of those offerings with cricket and/or frog noises in the
background to make you think you're out in nature somewhere. It has
water sloshing noises too. A real yawner. It might be good to help you sleep.

title: Amazing album for the hiphop fans and haters alike.

text: Fantastic album!  Killah Priest has truly outdone himself with this effort. This CD is comprised of 41 tracks of viceral lyrics and though provoking concepts.  Many people will find the subject matter a bit daunting at first, but anyone willing to explore into the alternate universe with Priest will be gladly rewarded with fantastic lyricism, ill metaphors, and amazing production.  Album of the year easily and probably the best double CD since Life After Death.  Killah Priest has truly blessed the hiphop community with a gem.  Long Live Killah and the Wu!


title: Trent rocks!!!!

text: This is a perfect cd to relax to. its totally different from everything else. i hope he brings out more similar albums to this.


title: CHANGE OF PACE IN HIP-HOP

text: FOR FANS OF HOLOCAUST YOU KNOW HIM N PRO HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND THEIR FLOWS 2GETHER COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER...HOLOCAUST IS A MASTER ON THE MIC, PRO IS UNIQUE AND FRESH..FOR THIS ALBUM AMERICAN POETS REALLY GIVE U TRUE HIP-HOP AND IT SHOWS..IF U LIKE THIS U SHOULD CHECK THE FIRST ONE GRITTY BEATS GRITTY RHYMES JUS SOMETHING WORTH CHECKING OUT...COP THIS CD CUZ IT'S WORTH IT BEEN LISTENING TO IT NON-STOP SINCE IT'S RELEASE


title: NIN with Trent's woman equals COOL.

text: Let me say I have been a fan of NIN since I first bought the "Pretty Hate Machine" on cassette.  This is like hearing NIN for the first time all over again....but with a womans voice instead.  You can still hear Trent on a few of the tracks but Mariqueen Maandig's voice is more the focus, and her voice blends well with the music just as Trent's does.  I knew after seeing the video "The Space in Betweent"...this was going to be cool.  Mariqueen's voice is soothing and smooth.  The album it's sell if mellow but still packs a wicked punch.  If you like NIN pick this up for sure, don't even hesitate.  Also Congrats to Trent and Mariqueen on their baby who is on it's way.

title: Tacoma Hip Hop Classic

text: Leezy is an up and coming artist in Tacoma and this CD is a classic!!!! I suggest if you live in the 253, go and pick this CD up!!


title: California Sounds

text: Like the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds",  This album should be called California Sounds.  It has the sound and the fervor of a California drive or a California night during the time period.  The musical sections are beautifully put together and the singing is very good.  This album was something i had never even heard of before.  After i listened to it I decided to tell all my friends about it.  It has great grooves and even better atmosphere.  It is definately an album that is good for a long drive.

title: Missing item and cracked

text:
There was no poster that came with the product. Why does it always seem like the poster is missing..

The case was also cracked... not super happy with it.


title: Great passages interspersed with tedium.

text: When I first heard news of the existence of a new fifty minute Jesu song, I was reluctant and excited at once. It's not as if Jesu hasn't ever attempted long songs before, with the first release consisting of two twenty minute long sides and the full length's average song length being over seven minutes (and most of these ranking among my favorites), but could Justin Broadrick engage my full attention for that enduring a playtime? Yes,and no. "Infinity", the fifty minute suite in question doesn't always hit the mark. The first twenty minutes are just great. He hasn't infused his music with this much anxiety for years now and the passage where the drum machines take over and he starts yelling, Godflesh style, is a moment of catharsis that I'd love to see him try more within this project. I felt the next thirty minutes were mostly meandering, with droning segments that he's done better in the past with little resolution although he finishes the piece in tidy fashion with delicately picked notes that I found really touching.

title: SFP is BOFA (Breath of Fresh Air)

text:
I absolutely love them. I also call them BOFA (Breath of Fresh Air). They remind me of the days when: your mouth dropped because of the intellectual lyrical content that penetrated your mind and soul…when you didn’t have to litter the art with cuss words, because you couldn’t find anything meaningful to say…when you had to grab a dictionary because-well, you just didn’t know what ‘that’ word meant. Rare jewels are found underground and I’m glad I dug deep enough to find SFP. Trust and believe, you will not be disappointed in these masterpieces. So far I have purchased this CD, along with Lost Documents, and The Healing CD.

NO MAINSTREAM IN MY BLOODSTREAM! Keep doing what you do SFP!!

title: Another lifeless Benny Goodman collection.

text:
I purchased this box on recommendation from a forum.
Couldn't tell you why it was recommended. Like most Benny Goodman on CD, these have heavy noise reduction which has sucked all the life out of recordings that should be lively and energetic. This is better than most that try to no-noise, but it still sounds like it was recorded five floors above the band.
I would recommend The Benny Goodman Story, which is not only decent in itself but also the ONLY classic-era Goodman CD I've heard thus far that doesn't suck (other than the live Carnegie Hall concert which has its own issues). This box isn't worth your time.


title: Weird, Funny, Beautiful

text: Glorious collection of Lambchop tracks from the City Slang. Most date to Lambchop's early days, some never before released. Weird, funny, and beautiful, the first track,"Soakie in the Pooper," sets the tone. An essential for Lambchop fans.


title: Relax under Clouds Across The Moon

text: I had never heard of this group until recently when I ran across the song Night Winds on Youtube and really liked it.  It took a seller in Japan for me to purchase this CD and it was well worth the wait.  Clouds Across The Moon is an amazing track and it opens the album.  Together with Night Winds, it's a one-two punch that is as exhilarating as it is pleasurable to listen to.  Sorry Doesn't Make It Anymore is a strong song in its own right and Float is a wonderful instrumental piece.  Mystery Boy returns to the dizzying heights of Clouds Across The Moon, smooth lyrics over a catchy melody.  The CD is comprised of eight songs, so each is given plenty of space to revel in, around the five minute mark, though some of the songs you might wish to go on forever.  It has a smooth jazz feel, but with a clear pop music sensibility that seems effortless.  The female vocalist is an important component to the rich mix of emotions the songs conjure and this gem of a CD is as easy and delightful, and with a timeless appeal, a listen as you're likely to find in any genre.

title: Hoping For Another

text:
I usually dismiss artists whose work is too close to it's influence(s). No matter how talented the artist, the work most often is a pale imitation or leaves you wondering why the artist doesn't change something in the esthetic equation to differentiate themselves from their inspiration. That said, it is clear that The Rosewood Thieves music is very reminiscent of the Beatles circa the White Album,
even the lead singers voice sounds like John Lennon. The reason I gave this CD
5 stars though is the fact (this will sound like heresy to some) that the writing is pretty much on a par with The Beatles. The songs sound fresh and I hope that the RWT will put out some more great songs, if you want great Beatlesesque pop and don't mind the "sincerest form of flattery" you will probably like this music. The biggest problem with this is finding a non-MP3 version at an affordable price $437, my butt!

title: better than Miracle Day

text: The Lost Files contain three excellent radio plays. The first two are quirky and fun while the third is beautifully bittersweet. Gareth David-Lloyd is at his very best in his portrayal of Ianto and John Barrowman does an excellent job in the third play. Rating each play individually, I give "The Devil and Miss Carew" 4 stars, "Submission" 3 stars and "The House of the Dead" 5 stars. Be forewarned though, "The House of the Dead" is likely to make you cry. My only complaint is that "The House of the Dead" was not an onscreen episode and/or the issues within were relegated to a radio play. Otherwise, I highly recommend this set, the plays are Classic Torchwood (although I still miss Tosh and Owen) and is way better than "Miracle Day".


title: VH

text: Review of the record: Band tensions are high, covers tunes are a bit pervasive...this is the Baroque era in the Classic Six. And Little Guitars is an antidepressant.


title: Kozelek & Desertshore

text: Very enjoyable music and stories from Kozelek, one of the best composers existing right now. Songs about boxing, Anton LaVey, the death of his lovely cat and life situations will keep your ears up like dogs. Very nice melody too. Subtle but genious. Maybe perfect.


title: CAL/ROCK & ROLL - HOMEGROWN

text: Rock n roll music obsessed freaks listeners like me are always searchin' for the perfect record. Rock music is now what 60, 70 years old? There is a lot of history and a lot of good music we are yet to discover from the begining till now. I first knew of Cal/ Rock & Roll's Homegrown through Endless Boogie's guitar player Jesper Eklow who was in the Mind Blowers section of the Mojo magazine april 13' issue recomending great obscura tracks. Cal was one of them. So I went to youtube and was blown away by the song "couragous cat". The record was released in 1982 by the band itself and re-released in 2009-10 by an independant label (Bull's-Eye). It is definetley a hidden treasure, a post punk psychedelic rock masterpice. For those of you who had discovered it or are about to feel blessed and lucky. I certainly feel very happy. When you hear those well crafted guitars and keyboard accompanied by the mysterious but striking voice of Larry Calabrese you will be haunted by songs such as "today" (both the instrumental and beautifully vocalized in a duo by Calabrese and Denise Chillemi), the furious and inviting "party party" or the emotionally sensational "key to my heart". Other tracks like "rock and ride" and "state of mind" are a testament of the brilliance and the great band chemistry of this pot of gold. The title 'Homegrown' suits perfectly to this album because they wrote and arranged all of the songs plus produced and engineered it at Larry's own Cal Sound Studio in N.Y.. Now if you can get this do it now, it is worth the price.


title: What can I say

text: Its Dre. The iconic album.  Brings back memories of a simpler time for me. Loved hearing it again. Also shiped from UK and I'm in the US so it took a bit but arrived fine. Very happy


title: The most amazing album.

text: I loved every track, every note.


title: An awesome album

text:
I found the tape of this album in my dad's collection and fell in love with it. I turned the cassette into mp3s, but they're not the best quality. It's really unfortunate that there seems to be no way to get this music for a reasonable price (given that I don't own a record player).

What strikes me most about this album is the message in their songs -- they are so clear and meaningful. And on top of that, the music itself is unlike anything else I've heard.

Anyway, i really want more, but i'm unwilling to shell out 50$/album.


title: Very pleased

text: Great CD and music.  This was a purchase for my boyfriend and he listens to it every day in his car.


title: Also Audrey's voice is amazing!

text: If you want a new spin for hymns with solid and unchanging truth then buy it! Also Audrey's voice is amazing!


I love the album but this one didn’t include the code that gives you access to exclusive vlive content so i’m pretty disappointed about that


title: Creative, thought provoking

text: This CD is a unique blend of original and diverse melodies and styles. It contains English and Ukrainian lyrics with some personal and some Biblical themes. It is a creative work that has been well-done and is a pleasant listening experience.


title: Lost Gem !

text: I was fortunate enough to actually see Lynx multiple times before their breakup.I even have a great live recording of one of their shows that sounds just as solid as this record. I wouldn't normally consider writing a review for most albums, but the one 3 star review left by the other cat isn't giving Lynx full credit. These guys we're way ahead of the game on the math rock scene or whatever you want to call it. It only makes sense that Don Konopka(lynx Guitarist) is now playing with Battles. This record released in 2000 still gets repeated listens and is one of the few artists who's album I never seem to grow tired of. If you're a fan of Battles, Don Cab, Oxes, Paul Newman, etc you need this record. I only wish these guys would have gave us more, but who knows, maybe one day they'll jump on the reunion band wagon ? We can only hope.

title: Disparagement as an advertising tool?

text: It's obvious to anyone who can read this "CD" is NOT "BOBBY BORG'S MUSICIAN'S HANDBOOK COPYRIGHT 2003, 2008."  Mr. Borg has done himself a great disfavor by penning such an obviously disparaging note of something he hasn't purchased or reviewed. That kind of "sour grapes" approach accomplishes little beyond turning me completely off to any material Mr. Borg himself may be attempting to promote via Amazon.com.  Do yourself a favor, Mr. Borg, and delete your review here. If your material has merit, it will stand on its own without resorting to such immature tactics as this.  J. Carl Hudson, Author.


title: Good for comparison

text: I bought most Hayley Westenra's CDs. I could hear some higher frequency noise for certain high notes. I think maybe those are the so-called high-order harmonics. But I wondered if those were from my music playing equipment or in the original recording. During the Covid work-at-home period, I purchased a system for high quality audio listening, including a pair of high-end electrostatic headphones and a top-rated amplifier with lowest measured distortions. After listening to the upgraded system, I tend to believe the noise I heard before was from the playing equipment, as it became less obvious. I bought the SACD just to confirm it. I used a Bluray player to rip the SACD into ISO and played it using an Android based desktop player. The DAC was based on AKM4499, which should have bypassed the DSD signal. Honestly, I can't tell if there is any difference between CDs and SACDs in terms of detail presentation. SACDs have better dynamic range and usually sound a couple of dBs quieter when the sound level of the play equipment is fixed.

title: One the best records ever.

text:
I WANT THIS AVAILABLE ON CD NOW.

I really don't know how to describe this. If the thought of the below tracks recorded 100% on a moog, one note at a time, with hours and hours of overdubbing sounds at least vaguely interesting, give it a try. This is not some weird quirky recording, it is actually a rollicking good time, at least side 1. Bolero is hardly rollicking. If you want to get an idea of what you're getting into, head to you tube. This is one of my top two or three favorite albums of all time.

Side 1
España
Malagueña
suite from "Carmen"
Side 2
Boléro

text: This album is similar to Spirit album.  Emmylou Harris sings on 11 of the tracks with Willie.  It has a wonderful Cuban rhythm feel.  For audiophiles who know Steve Guttenberg, he highly recommends it and I couldn't agree more!  Recorded in 1998, get it while you can!

title: Great music, not pleased with limited access to the music

text: For the actual content I would give 5 stars.  My husband and I are amateur Latin dancers and we have enjoyed dancing to these songs, especially the Rhumba ones.  I think they are well done.  However, we like to put our music on our computer, we just find it easier to access and store.  This CD came with huge warnings on it about how if you try to put it on a computer it will basically destroy your computer- or words to that effect.  I would have thought twice about buying it if I had known that.  I understand that some people will illegally copy it and use it wrongly and the music producers want to protect themselves; so I guess we all get punished for the wrong deeds of some....


title: Loved by the young and old

title: Quadrophonic brilliance!

text: This is a brilliant recording. Some of these tracks can help you achieve peace. The quadrophonic SACD versions are truly sublime. Thanks to Vocalion for putting these out with multi-channel versions!


title: Excellent! But the price is rediculous! Buy it from their label directly!

text:
Magenta is an excellent modern prog band from UK. Christina Booth has a great voice: deep, emotional and warm. They guitarist Chris Fry is a really underrated! I think he is one of the best in modern classic/prog rock: excellent technique, great solos. Bravo! He is definitely influenced by Steve Howe from Yes, and his guitar often sounds like Steve's, but he is not a "clone" at all.
And their main author and keyboard player Rob Reed also deserves a lot of credit for imaginative music and arrangement, and for his playing.
Although this album, in my opinion, is not as strong as their masterpiece Seven, it worth getting.
This reissue comes with 5.1 surround sound DVD that is a real treat. Do yourself a favor and buy it!
I don't know why Amazon sells it for such crazy price??? Their US label LaserCD sells it from its site for $15, and this is steal for the extended package wirh 5.1 mix!


title: Mike Oldfield meets King Crimson and played by virtuoso musicians

text:
This band is from Moscow, Russia, and all of the band's members are classically trained graduates from Moscow State Conservatory.

They play sophisticated music that sometimes sound like "classic" King Crimson circa Red, sometimes like Roxy Music, sometimes like.... Mike Oldfiled?

Four tracks with vocals (in Russian, though, but with ranslation in English)) give listeners some relief between more sophisticated and sometimes dark tracks. They are very good and melodic.

The musical palette of the band is quite rich: in addition to traditional rock instruments they play violin and fluite.

Highly recommended to fans of King Crimson, Universe Zero, Mike Oldfield and anybody who loves well produced non-commercial and challenging music!


title: Bergersen  Great !!

text:
This is one maybe the first VERY GOOD recording the music of Thomas Bergersen, is full od feelings in diferent ways, perfect orchestation, a very good spectacular sound , together with "SUN" and "MIRACLEs " , in competition for the first class of the works od Mr. Bergersen.
I can cosider a new genius in the music of our present days, full of imagination,great combinations between the orchestra and vocals with a full sesitivity for present the diferent aspect of the themes. If you like the Instrumental music, Classic Rock with orchestra, and like for something new and fine, then you must to have it.

title: Pen-ultimate Whitehouse album!

text:
"The fainthearted should be warned of the recordings of Whitehouse.Noise music freaks will find even the most abrasive works of Merzbow, C.C.C.C., and the like to pale next to the extremity of these recordings. This group works with concepts of brutality and harshness in sound and content -- an approach that is difficult to stomach for even hardened noise listeners. This depraved and violent project's tenure lasted throughout the '80s and '90s when they released some of the harshest and most difficult recordings that the post-industrial and underground noise camps would witness. Fans of the group should know that this recording presents quite a departure from the analog sound of earlier works. In its place is an equally abrasive wall of digital noise made up of hammering beats and high-pitched drilling-tone punishment, over which the trademark dialogues of depravity and sickness are delivered in clipped distortion. An exercise in utter repulsion, there is no denying that Whitehouse represents a necessary extreme in avant-garde noise music, making it their business to push the limits a few notches too far; by challenging every taboo and violating the listener, the work is profoundly discomforting to say the least. In going beyond the limits, Whitehouse raises questions of acceptability in art that surmount to a conceptual polemic inquiry which would inevitably be made in the dark realms of the extreme. Someone has to set the threshold, and Whitehouse made that their goal for a good 20 years, which culminates in this subversive masterwork."

title: Wanted Bluegrass Gospel

text: I was expecting bluegrass gospel and this was just gospel.


title: Pat Donohue American Guitar - Excellent!

text: You will not be disappointed with the skill and fun in this CD!  I bought this for my dad, a guy who grew up listening to Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley.  He was impressed and listens to it all the time.  We played it at a family gathering with people of all ages and interests in music, and this was one we could all agree on!  I plan to buy other CDs of his.  My husband, who plays guitar, was particularly impressed!


title: Great recording but BEWARE AMAZON MP3 QUALITY IS A TRAVESTY (AS OF FEB 2016)

text:
So I have little to add to what has been said about these recordings; I think they are wonderful as a complete set and the reasons have already been given by numerous reviewers before me.

However, I am writing this review because the Amazon digital mp3 versions do not at all mirror the quality of the cds. Listen, for example, to some tracks with headphones, e.g. the Piano Sonata #2 in F, K 280, second movement (adagio) or the Piano Sonata #3, second movement, on the Amazon mp3 player, and you will notice a disgraceful wavering / wobbly sound that makes these tracks almost unlistenable. Once you hear it you cannot unhear it. This does a great disservice to an amazing pianist and to sublime music.

Because of this problem, I had to cancel my digital order and re-order the cds, which I am manually importing as mp3s. I hope that Amazon fixes this problem as soon as possible, and if they do, I will promptly delete this review--but I just want as many people as possible to be aware that, if they love this music, they should not buy the Amazon mp3 digital versions, but rather the cds.


title: Legend

text: I love the band Legend, who were Legend Seven. I dont think they are around anymore but the work they did was incredible! I love this rock Christian band and have two of their CD's.


title: Still Amazing after 22 years

text: I first heard John Blake share his faith when I was a young father in 1990.  His music and passion for Christ still resonants in my heart.  I still remember when he rocked my mind when he said, "The control you think you have in your life, is a facade. God is in control"  Rally de Leon


title: dougie fan

text: I loved this c/d so much that I bought a second copy (rather than burn mine) for my sister in law.  She is now a Dougie fan as well.


title: Total rip off!!! Don’t buy!!!!!

text: This was not a 1000pcs puzzzel when it came it was 150 pcs which the pieces were about 1/2 inch too small to see. This is a total rip off. Then they said it was delivered a week before it actually was. So it made it so I couldn’t return it!!!  So very unhappy!!!!!!


title: What's on it?

text: This is not a review,  but more of a suggestion.  If you want to sell it,  list the entire contents.  I'm interested but won't buy unless i know exactly what I'm getting.  You listed a few songs,  but need to list them all.


title: BEWARE!!!  Totally misleading.  NOT the whole box set!!!  Only 3 of the 7 discs included.  1 of the 3 parts to the box set!!!

text:
I am Very Disappointed.  What I assumed I was getting was the whole 7 disc box set that comes in 3 fold up parts, and only ended up getting ONE of the 3, which contains 3 of the 7 discs.  There was no description to Describe that it was only an incomplete part of the whole box set, and only 1 picture!!  So very disappointed!!

The only plus is that it's Pearl Jam, and it is extremely hard to go wrong with Pearl Jam.

But now I have to shell out even more, in order to get the Whole Box Set, which I will now have a redundant 1/3 of it.


title: The best version of this classic release!

text: Like the Kinks? Buy THIS. Not only does it contain their best recording but all the song on one disc of the "Great Missing Dave Davies Album" as originally recorded with modern digital remixing and significant sound improvement ALL in a hard bound CD cover with tons of interesting liner notes in booklet format. F-ing stupendous.

text: Can't say much more that I'm thankful I got this piece when I wanted it and still enjoy the DVD every time I feel watching it. If you are a Camilo fan, well, I can't add more positive comments. This is a must-have, must-get product for any Camilo Sesto fan.

text: Oscar Brand at his best - nuff said!


title: Exquisite

text: This is truly one of those recordings that stands by itself never to be replicated. One that sent me searching for more, but is a moment in time. This is two legends writing and playing with such artistry and craftsmanship. Everyone thinks of EC in the early years… Layla… Ocean Blvd… etc. all great. This is Lay Down Sally many years later. Superb finger picking strat and beautifully played leads. This is a must have. Every song. Ride The River… Any Way The Wind Blows… Last Testament… all of them. One reviewer didn’t think Three Little Girls fit… odd… this is a great song. I think some people keep chasing yesterday like reviews that criticized Gilmore’s On An Island because it didn’t sound like PF? Maybe I’m just old now, or maybe I hear the subtle craftsmanship of seasoned artists. the picking and phrasing. Two incredible artists got together and produced a one time piece of craftsmanship that is truly a masterpiece. This one is etched into my soul. Ride the river.


title: confusion and contrive story.

text: the plot starts interesting but gets less and less so. The story line is not clear and contrive. The narrator is the author herself in audio CD which shows the imperfection. Over all, not worth the read/listen


title: Amazing CD - in the top 3% of my collection of 1,000+ for sure

text: Joe's soloing on some of these standards is incredible and will most likely cement his place as one of the greatest guitar players in history.  His solo guitar work on lovely afternoon (an original composition) really shows not only his deep sense of melody but the depth of his chordal knowledge on the guitar....

title: oldie but goodie

text: I had this CD years ago, purchased in 2000. I had lost it and glad to find this again. And yes.. I did make some $$$ using the pieces in various gigs. There are nice short pieces to put together for different routines. Recommended buy.


title: Very Spirited - Contains the Ne Plus Ultra Lassus Trombone Recording

text:
This is a reproduction of a minstrel show, which were in vogue as popular entertainment in the mid to late 19th century.  It contains upbeat minstrel tunes, barbershop quartet and humorous pieces, interspaced around introductions and jokes between the Interlocuter (MC) and the traditional end men, Mr. Tambo and Mr. Bones.

The LP is so old it's mono, but is very worthwhile because it contains two interesting pieces:  a killer version of "Lassus Trombone" and the great basso profundo voice piece, "When The Bell In the Lighthouse Rings (Ding Dong)."

I have heard and played (I'm a musician) other versions of "Lassus Trombone," but none compare to the version on this record.  It is very fast, and the trombones execute this screamer flawlessly.  They also play the entire melody except in the trio - most other versions give parts of the melody to other sections. If you play the trombone, you should get the record for "Lassus Trombone."  It will inspire you to be a better musician.

"When the Bell in the Lighthouse Rings (Ding Dong)" is another standout piece.  Basso profundo John Neher takes the ending of this piece to a note that is too low for 99% of men to sing.

Other pieces like "Oh How I Wish't I Was In Peoria" are good as well.  This is a very good recording and a faithful testament of an old art form.

text: Beautiful music and beautiful voices, very prayerful and uplifting!


title: I absolutely love it.

text: More than met my expectations.  I absolutely love it.


title: A scholarly, masterful and yet personal performance

text: Masi's performances of the Beethoven Sonatas have a selfless profundity that is almost ethereal. His command of technique, of dynamics and of touch and of phrasing put these performances in the same category as some of the legendary interpretations such as Schnabel, Kempf, and Brendel. But Masi's performances are at the same time very personal, they are not simply catechism., and they are timeless. You will find, in some of the sonatas, tempos and voices you have never heard, and the sound is so round and rich. He is an artist who deserves to be better known.

title: Wonderful, skilled, and sensitive guitarist

text: I saw Andre Krengel and the International Guitar Festival at Folsom, California, a traveling show featuring 5 exceptional guitarists brought together to perform individually and together.  The show was dynamite, and I particularly enjoyed Andre's music, so I purchased one of his CDs.  It was my good fortune to purchase this one.  His music varies from gypsy to ballad, and I love it so much I must have listened to it hundreds of times by now.  I have bought copies for my friends, because I think few have been privileged to become acquainted with him in the United States.  His music reminds me of Cat Stevens in the clear communication of his message, whether it is about Children or a Nigerian Marketplace.  He makes you feel the place and the subject.  I also love the range of styles, from gypsy to waltz to ballad. Thank you, Andre and crew, for hours and hours of listening pleasure.


title: Great songs by Tamara

text: I had never heard of this Spanish (from SPAIN) artist until a couple of months ago when I found her by mistake on YOUTUBE.  I fell in love with her voice and interpretation of the songs.  Great artist.


title: Great music!

text: Great collection of songs. More songs for less money than the other CDs I found.


title: Interesting music, but beware, these are CD-R's, not proper CD's!

text: "Fantasio" is a very interesting and opulent opera, rarely recorded; this historical recording from 1957, sung in German, is just fine.  Filling out the second CD is the one-act opera "Un Mari a la Porte", also in sung in German and from 1957. So, a nice collection but for the fact that the discs are made-on-demand CD-R's (which may or may not play in one's player, and will likely last only a few years) rather than proper CD's (which will play in anything, and last a lifetime).  Considering that CD's cost less to make than CD-R's, shame on the record label!


title: For most, Oceania's first album is the one to get...

text: I bought this based on my more or less liking their first album, which had quite a variety of styles and songs, some very good, some quite boring, some interesting, some not, but nevertheless worthwhile overall.  This second album is far weaker; not particularly Maori-sounding for the most part, and if one stripped away the quiet vocals, most of the songs would be classified as meditative, new age/techno hybrids.  So, if you want to meditate to an album, this may be it; if you want to be excited or fascinated, give it a pass.


title: Music by which "William Wallace"...

text: Warning!  This is not music from the pen of Scottish composer William Wallace (1860-1940), or even the Irish composer William Vincent Wallace (1812-1865), but is instead a collection of pieces by obscure Canadian composer William Wallace (1933 - ?).

title: Why not more popular

text: I was in Australia sixteen years ago and picked up this in casette form. These songs have been stuck in my head for years. And all the other versions out there are crap. Please other people, find Jeff Debhnam and find this album....


title: Give them a shot!

text: I'm an old guy, with old tastes in music, that said, I really do enjoy the music that they make! It's very incongruous, and therefore very different from what I would normally listen to.


title: Love it!

text: Listen to it EVERY day! The Goodness of God is my favorite!


title: Great

text: This is a great cd!  I'm enjoying more and more each time I listen.  My favorite songs are Afraid, I Do, Your the Sh-, and Berries and Cream.  If you ever get the chance to see her perform live do it!  She sounds the same in person as she does on her cd's.


title: J- Hope is fly!!!

text: The music is fantastic!!!! J Hope is on a whole different level. Music arrived no problems.


title: it was a gift and it was appreciated

title: If you can feel music, just buy it....

text:
But if you are a so called purist, those who think opera and music are only just a matter of maths and techniques that if not reproduced as robots with metallic voices are not valid, please dont even think about this record.
If you think an artist cannot sing pop and classic at the same time, please don't waste your money with this CD...
Buy some Bjorling record if you can and enjoy it. Don't even think about open your minds.
Or, as you master all the singing techniques, record your own arias and listen to them. :)


title: 18 cd's, 6 full Dead concerts & one proud owner!

text: I am in love with this box set! From 1989 to 1990 there were some great dead shows & for 1990 the spring tour realy stood out.When i got this in the mail i gasped going ok what # did i get out of 9000 only copies i slowly opened and found out i had # 806 out of 9000 thats really good. Now for me i'm glad they have not used the 24 track masters. Most of there live cd's from this era have come as 2 track recordings in the first place. To me when the dead shows have been from the 24 track masters they sound over polished & sound nothing like it did when you were there. The 2 track recordings give more of a hall type sound & seem to show the natural acoustics of the arena they are playing in. Even though they are 2 track recordings they are mastered very well & i think that all of the view from the vault cd's were from 2 track masters as well. So far as far as a favorite night well it seems to change but right now i'm loving the 2nd show from the set but the other night the 4th show was right up there too. Now as far as what is inside it is very nice the book and all the pic's and passes but i think most of us fans can live with just the cd's & the book. Something that is a limited set like this it's harder to keep all the small things in great shape. Bottom line is you will never be able to get these 6 complete shows with this good of sound ever again. 18 cd's & 6 full Dead concerts & one proud owner.

title: A great recreation

text: The Kyser band was more a stage show band than a great dance outfit, but it the 40s it consistently turned out some enjoyable hits. With charts by talents like George Dunning there was almost always a feeling of swing and good taste...even if the taste was often corny. Tracks like Ma fall into the swingin corn category, but the instrumental Pushin Sand shows how the orchestrations could swing. The recreations. Are nice with good stereo and the original vocalists are here on most of the tunes. Recommended to round out you library of the big band era.


title: A real favorite of mine

text: I really loved this album too. I bought the cassette after she performed at my college. Her voice is beautiful. When things are going badly for me I find myself singing the title song to myself (especially the last verse - o jours si pleins d'appas, vous etes disparus), it fits the mood so well. I do really wish it could be made available in digital. I still have my cassette, but I'm afraid to play it!


title: Nice Change!

text: The CD was a great mix of 80's Hair Rock, some of my favorites were " Turn up the Radio" "Up all night sleep all day" " Round and Round" " "Once bitten twice shy" Great addition to my CD collection!

title: Don't wait - get Susan's CD's!

text: I bought a couple of Susan's cd's for my thunder-phobic dog.  By the 2nd piece, she's sound asleep instead of digging.  ANYTHING recommended by Dr. Bob & Susan Goldstein works - GUARANTEED!  My first dog almost died from a rabies vaccination - leg trembled that night, next day she went lethargic, by the next, she was vomiting.  I e-mailed Dr. Bob - he said she was trying to de-tox from the vaccine.  After seeing her in hospital on IV 2 days, my dogs now get 3-year vaccine.  So, when they say Susan's music will calm your dog- believe it!  It's beautiful & relaxing for people, too!

title: Plays with great sensitivity

text:
I like music I can learn from, music that stretches my appreciation, music that challenges me to leave my comfort zone of the familiar and broaden my stylistic tastes. I found those qualities in Leoš Janáček’s solo piano music performed by Lars David Kellner, which I encountered on this recording (purchased as MP3 download).

Much of Janáček’s music is based on Moravian folk music. Kellner, who began studying the composer’s works at age 11 with a Czech music pedagogue, has done extensive research of Janáček’s piano compositions. Although the melodies at times seem spare, Kellner infuses them with life in his insightful handling of Janáček’s repeated phrases, contrasting loud/soft or fast/slow sections, and variety of embellishments -- trills, tremolos, arpeggios, and other ornaments. There is a special quality in these melodies that Kellner plays with great sensitivity. His interpretations evoke a contemplative mood with his deliberate, yet delicate touch and effective use of varied dynamics. I like Kellner’s occasional slight pauses that build breath-holding anticipation for the final pianissimo notes in several selections. His precise, consistent tremolos throughout “Allegro” are particularly striking. The four tracks of "In the Mists" seem to me to be richer and more fully developed than Janáček’s earlier "On an Overgrown Path," and Kellner brings out that depth beautifully.

In this recording, Kellner’s reflective performance shows his affinity for and understanding of the composer’s Slavic voice, which he conveys to the listener. Through this music, I have developed a strong appreciation for Janáček, who has become one of my favorite composers. I highly recommend this disk. For additional examples, see also Kellner’s more recent 3-CD set of Janáček’s complete original works for piano.


title: Love the lyrics. Love the voice. Love the music. Hate that I can't find anything else by Divya Kumar

text:
This may be the most under-rated, beautiful album-by-someone-you've-never-heard-about EVER! Divya Kumar crafts lyrics like Alanis Morissette but without the anger.

A friend gave me the Sunday Night CD in about 2007. I loved it immediately and played it dozens of times. That CD has long been lost, but the album is still on an old iPod I only use once in a while at the gym. And every time I rediscover it, I spend an hour online trying to find more like it.

title: Outstanding Guitar

text: Why am I just now finding this guy and his music? This is a wonderful recording. I’m looking for more of his stuff.


title: Heavenly Range

text: I wanted to get this album for a while, JYJ's 1st Korean album. Packaging was a plus with a book with lyrics and pictures. It still smazes me how these three men can handle such a wide range of genres with the passion and intensity they have.


title: AND WE LOVE KEELY SMITH ♥

text: A fabulous jazz-based outing for the beautiful voice of the legendary KEELY SMITH.  A very special album with several world-famous jazz players along for the joy!!!  We love this album and we love the great KEELY SMITH.


title: Choral Music at its finest!

text: I have loved this recording since I was a little girl.  It is so wonderful that it was available in full clear sound.  I hear every part.  I loved it!


I was a teenager when this movie and soundtrack came out. It is still one of my top two favorite movies to this day!!!


title: Awesome Collection

text: If you miss and love the oldies then this collection is for you.


title: Five Stars

text: Really great condition and the sound is great


title: King Crimson is KING

text: Something happened for my review of the Live in Toronto but this version of Crimso is unbelievable!!! I've seen them numerous times and play drums but the 3 drummer line up is a work of art!! Jakko's vocals are very reminiscent of the late great Boz. I've loved every version of Crimso but this could be the best because of all because of all the material they do. I listen to the Live in Toronto disc over and over again. It is superb and so is every member (past & present) of this band!! Thank you Mr. Fripp for releasing all of the Collector Club CD's. I love The Beatles but I think I love King Crimson more!!!!!!


title: One of a Kind

text: As all BTS products it doesn't disappoint, I think it to be one of their best DVD compilations so far, although season's greeting's are always special. The product does have some little details (nothing to do with the seller since the product came in its original packaging and perfectly wrapped), some things that from experience happens a lot with the products bought at the w****se and BH store. The frame where the 'turntable' is held has 2 big tears in two of the corners and the flaps under it were also scrunched and teared. The outerbox is sturdy and BIG it would have been impossible to damage this parts from the courier, and as I said I've some experience with faulty products from them before. The truth is if you're not a big big fan of BTS enough to overlook this things then it could be a little expensive. Since I am, I won't complain LOL everything else is very pretty and beautiful and the boys look as always ethereal.


title: the most beautiful man ever!

text: Jaime Camil is Fernando Mendiola on La Fea Mas Bella soap opera on Univision. He is awesome! I didn't realize that he also sang. I purchased his three CDs on Amazon.com and they are great. I cannot believe he also is a great singer. The variety of songs is wonderful - ballads, salsas, etc. If you are a Jaime Camil fan, you will definitely enjoy his CDs


title: Nice music

title: Bringing back memories!

text: My children listened to this when they were little and now my son's daughter will be able to grow up with Psalty!


title: Great album

text: This album is arguably their best - we love it!  Rock 'N' Roll Worship Circus is one of our favorite bands, and these songs are the reason for that.


title: Five Stars

text: Great!


title: Play them again and again

text: Schubert's impromptus are gorgeous.  I played them and loved them almost as much as I loved playing Bach..  They are fun to play and now they are in my car where I listen to them over and over again.


title: Five Stars

text: Wonderful and relaxing.


title: Great performances with poor sound engineering

text:
I agree with the reviewer who criticized the shrill treble, but I’ve found a way to enjoy these recordings. I ripped them to iTunes, and I use the treble reducer equalizer setting. It takes the edge off the treble when playing through my hifi player with its independent bass and treble controls. The result is far from ideal, but it is tolerable.

These performances are good enough to make it worth the trouble of manipulating the poor sound engineering until the treble is at least tolerable.


title: Günter is Great!

Make sure you listen to her sing before buying, it sounds like medium to poor karaoke.<br />I am truly unsure how she can be a recording artist.

title: Five Stars for Music Three Stars for Packaging

text: Any new Hank Williams is great Hank Williams because everything he did was great...and these Garden Spot Programs are no different.  For fans, these shows are pretty similar to the Mothers Best recordings that came out a few years ago, but I personally think they are a bit more intimate, which is probably because they were cut a few years earlier.  For non fans, what you get are four newly discovered radio shows, each six songs long.  Each show starts with the "Garden Spot Jingle", has a "fiddle tune" in the middle and finishes with "Oh Susanna" ,with three regular Hank tunes sandwiched in between...all done to great effect in a very homespun style...with great dialog to boot.  As far as the sound is concerned, I won't try and comment on the actual fidelity since these are informal recordings from 60 years ago, but I will say that it is CRYSTAL CLEAR....so anyone interested in this music will be VERY PLEASED.  These positives aside, I am still going to dock this release one star for the packaging...the promo for this talks about deluxe packaging with extensive notes and photos...what you actually get is an substandard digipack with a very standard 8 page book and two generic photos.  When I say substandard, the digipack actually tore the first time I opened it and that has never happened to me before!  If someone like Bear Family had put this out it we would have gotten a  truly deluxe package, with an extended back story and LOTS OF cool pictures.  Of course, it would have cost 5 or 10 bucks more...but I personally think that music of this historical significance deserves it.  Regardless, this is a definite buy....but I would opt for the vinyl or MP3 instead of the CD.


title: Siobhan Fahey Rules This Album

text: This was quite simply an amazing offering from two very talented singers. Siobhan Fahey's vocals are stunning and quite different from her days as part of the trio that comprised Bananarama. This debut album from this duo is fun from start to finish with the lead single, "Stay", resonating the most of a troubled woman mourning her dying lover and Siobhan coming in as greedy death. The first time I heard it I was hooked and to this day still listen to it regularly. The whole album is a winner.


title: The Best of The Mavericks is a good cd

text: It is per the description.


title: Al fin, HIlsong United grava en español!

text:
Compre el disco después que un amigo me lo había recomendado. Que frescura de música! De veras que Hillsong United si sabe lo que significa el ministerio atravez de la música. Este disco se lo recomiendo a todos, especialmente para aquellos que son lideres de musica en sus iglesias, ya que pueden tocar de estos mismos cantos como parte de la alabanza en su iglesia.

In other words, get this CD! I recommend it for young adults who are looking for a genuine worship experience, and in the beautiful language of Spanish. Worship leaders, this one's a must.


title: Pulls-on-the-heartstrings music!

text: I love that “old world” and “klesmer” feel to her songs.  Very good!

title: Budget type release has pluses and minuses.

text:
One never knows what to expect in regards to sound quality when purchasing archival CD's, especially ones released by obscure labels. This one covers six commercial recordings and eighteen tracks taken from her films. Sound is fine on the commercial tracks but as expected varies on the film recordings with some including more dialogue than desired. Total playing time is 51:03. Big minus is there are no recording dates furnished and the booklet is empty inside. In researching West's CD's I found her available recordings were limited with most CD's containing the same material with the exception of ASV Living Era's series which is unfortunately out of print.

To accompany West's early recordings I highly recommend her 1955 Decca album "The Fabulous Mae West" available on CD on the Rev-ola label. Here we have West recreating her 1950's night club act. At 62 years old I was impressed at how strong and pleasant her voice sounded. I also liked her choice of songs with several tracks featuring a male backup chorus. Sound quality is great. If you purchase this CD from Amazon be sure to disregard the description given which is not at all accurate. Scroll down to "reviews" to read the correct content.


title: Golden Aida

text: A new production of Verdi's masterpiece premiered at the Met in November of 1951.  This performance is a broadcast of that production the following spring.  Two of the cast members had been replaced (Elena Nikolaidi by Nell Rankin and George London by Leonard Warren).<br />Zinka Milanov was at her peak here and more dramatic than in her studio recording from three years later.  Nell Rankin is on a level with the great Amnerises of the time (Barbieri, Simionato, etc.).  Mario Del Monaco is his usual stentorian self and Leonard Warren is an exciting Amonasro.  The orchestra is clear and Fausto Cleva leads the production with great energy and feeling.  All in all, a worthy competitor to the RCA recording with Perlea.


title: Better than one would expect

text:
This live performance from Covent Garden was captured on acetates on May 22, 1939.  The sound is, therefore, variable but never less than listenable.
Gigli is pictured on the box and the title of the album "Beniamino Gigli in London" leaves no doubt as to who is in the spotlight.  He sings magnificently and Alfredo doesn't give him too much oppotunity to show off his affected mannerisms.
Mario Basiola is a fine baritone who gets the job done.  The one disappointment is the omission of "Di Provenza" (apparently due to severe damage of the acetate).
The real surprise is Maria Caniglia as Violetta.  Never known for agility, the fioratura in her "Sempre Libera" is fleet and accurate.  In this live recording, her magnificent lower range (as in "Dite alla giovine")does not show up as well as on her studio recordings but that could be from trying to keep her voice lighter for this high-lying role.  She is always in complete control with some over-the-top cries as she is denounced by Alfredo.
All in all, this is a far cry from some of the anemic performances heard today.
Yes, the sound may not be the best...but at least we have this fabulous performance!


title: could have bettet selection of somgs

text: the cds should be in order of release.


title: Love the music but doesn't eject from my Bose player

text: This CD has a great variety of African music that makes you want to dance.  This used one must be a bit warped since my Bose player can't eject it.  Will see what happens in my car's CD player.


title: WOW!

text: I must add the disclaimer that I'm a longtime fan of my hometown heroes, Wilco. This is a wonderful encapsulation of their long career and stellar musicianship. I'm grateful that I was able to get my hands on this CD since I missed out on scoring a copy on Record Store Day. Jeff Tweedy's lyrics continue to build upon the strong foundation of the past thirty years, and the band just continues to hit new heights in creating a background sonic landscape to support them. I can't wait to get my hands on the vinyl, and eventually hear these tunes in concert.


title: like the air in a Lisbon fado house--and an extraordinarily ...

text: An extraordinary voice--smokey, like the air in a Lisbon fado house--and an extraordinarily intimate interpretive style that I suspect is more typical of a time long gone by and not likely to find renewal; truly haunting. The guitarist and violist seem remarkably sensitive to helping  the singer realize her voice and song--Portuguese lieder. I'm simply thrilled to have this hard-to-find collection by this marvelously powerful fadista.


title: Five Stars

text: I enjoy listening to this CD.  Worth getting it.


title: I really love this CD

text: I really love this CD.  There are chants from Hindu, Sufi, etc. and is great to listen to.  I would highly recommend it.  Besides it has a picture of my Guru.


title: Cavela's music is classic!

text: I bought Sus 40 Grandes Canciones as a Christmas gift for my Mother she’s 77 and was ecstatic to hear all the old passionate songs that she loved as a young woman.


title: Stargate SG-1 stories are fun to listen to

text: I am a fan of Stargate SG-1 which was on the SYFY network for 10 years and was delighted to find the this series of audio stories read--and acted--by two of the stars. I hope they will continue with the series.


title: Stargate SG-1 lives!

text: For fans of Stargate SG-1 this story is fun to listen to--this is the 2nd of two continued stories. It is a pleasure to hear it narrated by tow of the stars of the show which was on SYFY network for 10 years.


title: Taylor Made, Surprisely Well Done Production

text:
Taylor Swift wrote all the lyrics and music, designed the sets, partnered on lighting and firework displays, pretty much did it all but probably you would never realize the genius (7 Grammys) as she started this tour when only 20 years old. Loves her fans.

Plays electric and acoustic guitars, banjo and piano. More of a show than a concert. Crowd into it during the entire 2 hours. Lots of sets and songs you may have never expected to see and hear from Taylor Swift. Some nicely done cover songs included. The video is well edited and flows smoothly.

The CD is well mastered and captures more backup voices and instruments in the mixes but keeping the crowd noise for effect.

Very entertaining watching a girl enjoying being a girl. No concerns about talent here.


title: Must have

text: I bought this should be based on another we commendation. The way you can tell the instruments apart from each other especially on the low rnd is truly amazing.

title: Amazing

text: This is the most inspirational DVD's I have ever seen.  Louie is blessed with the ability to get a message across in the most interesting way.  He is truly anointed by God.


title: A Very Fine Singer

text: I purchased this album in Mesa, Az.  On his first song, he sounds a lot like Chris Ledoux, however continue on and you hear his style change.  This is a very nice cd to listen to.  I never heard of Marvin Dale before and purchased the cd Pledging Love and I<br />am very glad I did.


title: No singing

text: Reviews are misleading. Read the description thoroughly. There is NO singing in this cd.


title: Great but not comprehensive

text:
No one, except maybe Gregory Isaacs, was more prolific than Dennis Brown over the course of his roughly 30-year recording career (1969-99). He recorded for many different producers. Most agree that his definitive work was with Niney The Observer, and his work with Sly & Robbie went a long way towards transitioning him into the modern dancehall era, but his most fruitful relationship was with Joe Gibbs.

This 4-cd set focuses on his recordings for Joe Gibbs, so if you're looking for an overview of his career, this is not it (for that I recommend the 2-cd set "Money In My Pocket - The Definitive Collection").

That being said, this has a lot going for it.  CD 1 is the 1978 album Visions of Dennis Brown, CD 2 is the 1979 album Words of Wisdom. Both are great, and the sound quality is top notch. Words of Wisdom is the better album,  with such classics as Should I, Ain't That Loving You, Rasta Children and the Money In My Pocket remake.

CD 3 is named after a 6-song 1984 album, but it contains an additional 13 songs from the early 80s era, when much of Dennis Brown's output was an attempt at crossing over to the US market.

CD 4 is a compilation that contains many of DB's early 70s recordings for Gibbs. All songs from 1975's The Best of Dennis Brown are included. These early 70s songs are lesser known, and it's interesting that they were released on album only after Dennis had blown up with producer Niney. The sound quality is poorest in this batch of songs. The second half of CD 4 contains songs from the late 70s and early 80s, which sound much better.

Overall, this is well worth owning,  especially for the right price, but if you're new to Dennis Brown, I recommend a compilation that exposes you to a wider range of producers (the aforementioned plus Derrick Harriot, self productions, Gussie Clarke, King Jammy, Flabby Holt et al)


title: Spirit of the 60's: Rockin' Bands Kicks

text: I purchased all these CD's from Time Life. If you grew up in the 60s you will love this CD. Glad I experienced this music in the 60s and reliving the memories again.


title: Love Keith

text: I have this in a cassette and love it. Keith is a talented songwriter and singer. I love the entire cassette, which I can not say about any other artist.  Had to have it in an album for my husband to add to his collection and play for me. Record was in excellent shape. Thank you!


title: Excellent Service

text: Thank you Papa. Aunt Lela plays George all the time.


FINALLY!! This CD is the real deal. This has been my favorite Cher album for most of my adult life..I'm 56. I'd worn out the album I had and was wondering, like so may others, why this was not out on CD..ESPECIALLY, after BELIEVE, which was released on the same label..WARNER BROTHERS. Thank you to the seller for the outstanding service and the reasonable price.


title: Great!

text: Great Service and great music


title: I enjoyed it, but with some reservations

text: It may deserve another star - but without libretto I didn't really know what was going on. I skipped the tracks that were narrative. Had read somewhere that this opera is great - but this recording didn't convince me of that. Not at all sorry I bought it - I'll be listening to this from time to time.


title: Killer albums all through their catalogue. Can't wait for the next one!  I own all of them!

text:
All of their albums are rock solid. It's rare you can just put an album in and let it play without skipping a song or two for me. No skipping here on ANY of their albums.  One of the most underrated bands out there right now.

The band is comprised of great guys that have a lot of fun with a true passion for what they do. They are an extremely talented band all around, and most importantly put on a killer live show!  Big band, Big sound!

Must see this band live!!

title: Great nostalgia album for 90's kids that watched the nickelodeon series, or enjoys rock from the 90s

text: This version is not actually the black vinyl from the RSD which i was led to believe by the description, it is the more recent white edition, but regardless of that it is a great album and i recommend it. The edition is almost flawless, very low surface noise, if any, on my copy and the white color looks fairly nice. If you are here you probably know what you are looking at and you should most deffinitely get it, i am most positive you will enjoy it, the label even sent a bonus cd by Mark Mulcahy inside the package, nice treat!

text: I really enjoyed listening to this book.  It was farce like without being too cartoonish.  The twists were always a little surprising and overall broken into chunks that were easy to swallow.

title: perfect for young/ pre-K ages

text:
My daughter (4) loves this CD! The CD is broken out in to three main components:

1) Line by line (with pauses/ filler music in between) of the song to help to child learn
2) immediately following the line by line, it sings the song in its entirety
3) after all songs have played, the last half of the CD is music only. This part would be ideal for performances.

We lent this CD to her preschool class and it was equally as much of a hit there! My only complaint is that the CD of unique songs (I believe it is 12 songs in total) is quite short. Less than 30 minutes, so if you have a longer drive or want it as background in a room, you will need to restart it more frequently. But, this also contributes to the success of the CD with the age group- not too much for the kids to remember for any given song. Overall, would definitely recommend this CD!


title: Opened & Resealed

text: Keeping since this version is so hard to find (diary) but missing photocard and dirty on the outside/inside.


title: Condition

text: Like new, excellent condition

user_id: AESZYIVUAYNBWJXJSXPBHXSDHNEA


title: BEWARE!!

text: In order to make it a three act opera, the all important inn scene is cut completely!!  Despite good singing (although at times Tebaldi's vibrato is to wide, she sounds like she's singing double stops) this foolish decision on Bing's part, dramatically disfigures the opera to a point where any real enjoyment is impossible.


title: DON'T BOTHER

text: The conducting is OK but the singing with the single exception of Schlusnuss is abysmal beyond words.  In other words, most sound like singers before the public today.


title: ONE OF THE BEST

text: Great performance and he restored the third Hammerschlag!


title: AVOID THIS RECORDING LIKE THE PLAGUE

text:
This is a complete piece of junk; should get a zero star!  By "version novelle" they must mean crappy singing and conducting and an orchestra replaced by a five piece stage band.

Two more details concerning this less than worthless enterprise...the cd's contain no tracks and the instruments do not play Offenbach's score but an insipid arrangement made by a complete fool.  It's the Offenbach equivalent of the Guthrie Theater's repulsively distorted production of HMS Pinafore which was broadcast on PBS several years ago.


title: Easily the best Belle Helene!!

text: It's too bad this recording is unavailable at this time as it is VASTLY superior in every respect (soloists, chorus, conductor, TEMPOS!!) to the existing French language versions.  If it ever surfaces or if you can find it elsewhere, snatch it up!


title: THE WHOLE INN SCENE IS CUT!!!

text:
Do any of these reviews correspond to the recording described?  the MET production from the early 50's...with Milanov and Stiedry conducting?  Well, this one does.

One overriding feature makes this production next to worthless.  In order to perform it as a three act opera, the stupid MET cut the entire and dramatically pivotal first act inn scene.  Thus the action goes from the dark opening scene to the equally dark scene outside the monastery.  Possibly the most ridiculous and damaging single cut in MET history.  The old RCA recording with Milanov is still available and clearly the one to get.  It probably still contains the standard cuts that riddle and subvert most recordings of Verdi...cuts that would NEVER be tolerated in Wagner...but no entire scenes are removed.


title: Easily ranks with the half dozen best recordings of this opera!!

text:
This Meistersinger was an incredible surprise.  It documents Jone's voice with it was a beautiful instrument, Kmentt does a first rate job as Walther as does everyone else in the cast.  It's great having a real soprano (Martin) as Magdelene who has no trouble with her many high notes.)  The masters are a blend of older retired singers (Feiersinger, Treptow) and the upcoming generation (Neinstedt, Johns).  Bohm's conducting is virtually perfect with good bracing tempos which would have pleased Wagner immensely.  The treatment of the timpani is superior to nearly all other recordings...reminiscent of Toscanini's Salzburg recording from the 30's.  The first act is gotten on only one CD and the opera is performed uncut.  However the profound moments are given their full due.  The magical moment at the climax of the Wahn monologue when Sachs blames last night's riot on a misguided glowworm is broadened out beautifully.

The only thing I could carp about is the hall itself.  The Bayreuth theater works for the Ring and Parsifal, but the orchestra being placed under the stage is so reduced in sound that his other operas don't fare so well.  In the big choral scenes or the act finales, all those voices drown out all but the brass and percussion and much of that unparalleled orchestra writing is lost.


title: I'm speechless!!

text:
I first became acquainted with Terrasse's music via a DVD of a French video production of Ubu Roi in which his original incidental music score was used.  I was very impressed so I immediately went on the prowl for a few of his numerous operettas.  I scanned though most of the vocal scores available on the Petrucci library and found them very inventive and original which further spiked my interest.  To my shock, other than this one lone used copy "The Labors of Hercules"and "The Fiancee of the Skindiver" I just purchased, I don't believe ANYTHING of his is commercially available at the moment.  I'm not even sure if any other operettas of his have EVER been recorded.  There is a French language Terrasse website which lists his numerous works and they all look tempting.

The source of the recording is pretty much a mystery.  The French-only booklet contains no information whatsoever concerning when and where it was made, but after researching the birth and death years of those involved that I could locate, it probably dates from the 50's or early 60's.  The acoustic is a bit live for my taste though some may like it.  It may be the result of an overzealous remastering job.  The singing, orchestral playing and conducting is first rate throughout.  A performance that a work such as this thoroughly deserves.  The quality contained in this work shines through at every turn.  I was stunned by the level and quantity of musical invention present on nearly every page from a composer who is effectively unknown.  On just the basis of this one work his musical gifts seem equal to those of the greatest operetta composers...Jacques Offenbach, Sir Arthur Sullivan, Johann Strauss II and Franz von Suppe which is saying quite a bit.

Hercules is a full three act operetta: Fiancee is a one acter.  Both are recorded complete with some (and perhaps all of the) dialog.

He is easily the best orchestrator I've ever encountered among operetta composers.  The orchestra fizzes with excitement.  His overall style is late romantic but is constantly abounds with twentieth century touches.  I have rarely been so pleasantly surprised by a composer of whom I was completely unaware.  As I was listening to is, it struck me that, given his ingenious completion of Weber's Drei Pintos, if Mahler decided to write a French operetta, I doubt if it would sound much different from this.

I'm now curious as to why he's forgotten and so under represented.  He's a contemporary of Lehar, a composer I could hardly loathe more.  I have ALWAYS found his works sterile, boring, and sounding they were composed at least forty years earlier, so lacking are they in a merit or novelty.  Yet, he's remained rather popular and I'm even more perplexed and bewildered now that I realize that a great talent like Terrasse existed and composed throughout the same years.  Perhaps his treatment of the subject matter was considered to bold, unrefined and possibly irreverent?  All I can say to that is If it were thought that THEN, it certainly wouldn't be thought that NOW.  Like most groundbreaking works and composers, they tend to be in advance of their time.

If you like operettas with some musical meat on their bones, try ANYTHING by Terrasse and I promise you won't be disappointed.

I hope Erato or some other French company wises up and decides to issue some of these unknown masterpieces.

I'm eager to receive comments by readers who are perhaps more familiar with his music than I.


title: Performance-5; Sound-1

The performance is rather good despite standard stage cuts.  The cast is first rate especially Kozub who makes his usual towering impression.  His big beautiful dominates the Act I final ensemble as it should. In my experience Hillebrecht has NEVER sounded better...a well sung and big voiced Elizabeth.  Wallberg chooses good tempos and delivers a sound and solid interpretation.

HOWEVER...the sound for 1969 live performance is absolutely terrible.  For some reason the overall sound for the second act is substantially worse than the outer acts.  You figure.

The asking price is WAY out of line.  Berkshire is selling it for $12.


title: One of the greatest Renaissance recordings of all time!!

It's tragic that this peerless recording of these humorous and racy little songs is no longer available.  Songs like Den meinen sack, Es het ein Biderman ein weib, Ein pauer gebt sein Sohn ein weib (AKA The Pepper Song) exploit an unexpectedly modern brand sexual humor that reaches across the centuries.

I transferred my old vinyl copy to CD years ago, but I certainly wouldn't mind a remastered reissue!

Will Teldec's brain dead execs come to their senses and reissue ALL of Binkley's recorded repertoire from their great Das Alte Werk series.
