title: Great music for my "den"!

text: This is a great "album" (remember those?).  Being a single parent, I find that I need to escape to the solitude of my "den" once in a while (aka, my SUV) and this music is great for calming me down an helping me get back on track!  Great collection!


If you love Savatage, then stop reading and just buy it.  They never disappointed, this one is no exception.

text: good price, album in great shape.


title: Satisfied buyer

text: This album was ordered for my daughter, she is a BTS mega fan. Album arrived sooner than expected and nicely sealed in it's packaging. Very happy with my purchase.


title: Fun familly time!

text: My children and I love these old classic children's songs. I introduced them to this book and CD after dinner as part of our family time and they instantly loved it.


title: Exciting and Fantastic Beethoven Symphonies

text: The great conductor Josef Krips brings out the fantastic sounds from the great San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. I heard several of the symphonies in person, and the sounds on these records do full justice to the delicious sounds in the Orchestra Hall.

title: Um...very interesting..

text: Well I can't lie..I got it purely for the sake of Viggo..which I happen to think is the sexiest actor alive. I read reviews and went into buying this knowing it would be different. But how different I just couldn't be prepared for. Now I like his voice and a couple few of these tracks (can't really say 'songs') I liked but the rest...well I was caught between wanting to giggle and feeling dumbfounded. My roommate was floored just hearing a small sample and said some not very nice things about the sounds emanating from this cd. By the way me being bewildered/dumbfounded is no easy feat considering I'm pretty open minded. All I can say is be very,VERY open minded when it comes to this cd and you may just like it..or at least some aspects of it.

title: One of Salestrom's best

text: This a Marvelous CD. A great collection of Jim Salestrom and crew and their amazing musical talents. Great songs, great lyrics, great harmonics. A recommendation to anyone who likes Jim Salestrom this, is one of his best.


title: I love it!

text: My item arrived and everything went well. I've been meaning to buy the Sing For You album ever since it released, so I'm extremely happy with my Chen album + Xiumin photocard + folded poster + bonus gift cards from the seller ^^


title: Gread Independent 90s band

text: I was only ten when I first heard this band at Mississippi Nights ( a nightclub in St. Louis that is now closed) . It was their CD release party, so I probably still have the CD somewhere. I remember the core fans were there and everyone had a good time at the show. They even had someone dress up like a robot and dance on the stage as everyone chanted, "We won't the funk!" Good times, or so it seems now -- more than ten years later. I was just playing music on itunes, and I decided to play a couple their songs, and I was surprised how much they hold up. I love "Then Again," which is clearly about Andy Kaufman, and "The Song for You Know Who," which seems to be about a flirt that everyone had a crush on. It is weird that this little independent band was actually good. So many independent bands that I liked when I was a kid were just awful, but this album is solid. And even though, I doubt anyone remembers this band or listens to this album anymore -- I am giving them a plug right now. Buy this album and you will be reminded of how good 90s rock is, not like the garbage that is selling millions of albums now. This band clearly loved music and put their all in this album, and I just think it is sad that they broke up and few today even still play music professionally.


title: Bad construction

text: I wanted a pre-loaded player as I don't want the bother of downloading songs from my PC.  However, in just a couple of uses the control bar on the side of the player came off and the unit was unworkable.  Boo to the engineer who designed this unit.  I have had a couple of Apple I-pod Shuffles for years and they work perfectly fine to this day.  Cheap isn't good if it breaks the first time or two you use it.  Of course, I returned the unit and was credited with the amount I paid.


title: Inspiring!

text: Excellent quality, and inspiring music.  "Mansions of the Lord" alone is worth the price and more!  A tribute to the sacrifices the defense of freedom may demand.


title: why can't I find this great music on CD?

text: I got this cassette from my parents quite a few years ago, and there are a few songs on it that I really love. Unfortunately, my tape is aging and will soon be unplayable, but it's music is some of my most favorite. I really wish it would be re-released as a CD! I can't seem to find several of the songs on it anywhere.


title: Powerful without being preachy

text:
Unlike Susan's earlier releases ("Arctic Rose" and "This Child") Unsung Heroes uses less traditional Inuit sounds and--with the exception of some refrains--all the words are in English. Songs on this CD are more like "Suffer in Silence", "Kathy I", "Slipping Through the Cracks", and "Breakin' Down" from her "This Child" CD. Despite this deviation, Susan's work remains flavored with textures and impressions not to be found in most popular American music. The percussion is dominant without overwhelming the rest of the music and words, but most importantly the lyrics and messages conveyed through the songs are meaningful and powerful without being sappy or preachy.

Susan strikes me as a woman who feels very strongly for her people and home, and she puts her emotion honestly into the music, backing it up with wonderful accompaniment. The songs reach across boundaries to include all humanity, even though they obviously come from her experiences as a Canadian Inuit. Although most of the songs do address loss or pain, the redemption is that Susan asks the question: how do you go on? Where do you find your strength? What can be learned? She says: Hold to hope. Never give up. Open your heart and mind. Her message is ultimately one of hope and strength.

Some songs, like "Never be the Same", "E186", and "Ghost of Cain" are melancholy, but as a whole I see this CD as very uplifting, hopeful, powerful, and optimistic. Listening to it brings me energy. It touches on morals, ethics, and even spirituality that can be embraced by all peoples of all religions and beliefs.

Some listeners may miss her exuberant Inuit-inspired music like "O Siem", "Shamaya", and "Hina Na Ho", but if a listener is not locked into the idea that the words have to be in Inuktitut then songs like "Stand up", "Turn of the Century", and "Find Something to Believe in" will fill the former songs' shoes fairly well. If reference to Inuit histories and stories is what a listener wants then "E186" and "Gathering Place" will fulfill that need.

I strongly recommend this album to anyone who likes Susan's work, as well as anyone who likes meaningful, powerful music. It's so refreshing to me to be able to listen to music that doesn't have to do with someone falling in or out of love or lust or their heart being broken or being cheated on...the list goes on. Susan may sing about herself sometimes, but she is really singing about all of us. There are messages here that many people in the world would do well to embrace.


title: Pristine blue products are the best

text: definitely clears my pool up each time


title: Unimaginative recording

text: Ok so its DVD-Audio DTS etc.  The acutal recording is boring and not worth the price.


title: The Best in the easiest way, I Love it!!!/Exelente y facil de usar

text:
Aqui unos de las tantas cualidades que amo.
(English is below)
-Sencillo de usar!
Agregar un contacto en tu celular es mas difícil que configurar estos dispositivos. La aplicación Smart Life es un "como configurar cosas inteligentes para tontos" con unos cuantos taps estas listo. Las automatizaciones podrían tomas un poco mas de tiempo, pero una vez lo tienes estas listo.
-Practico
 Puedes crear grupos para funciones en conjunto o manipular los dispositivos de manera individual y agragar comandos de voz como "Hora de Dormir" Cuando todo se empieza a apagar/prender en el orden programado (Me encanta ese). Todo esto aun si Google o Alexa, a la verdad, la integracion con ellos es muy opcional.

-Conveniente:
He configurado los dispositivos para dormir 10 minutos despues de mi pero despertar 10 minutos antes que yo. Esto mejoro mi factura de luz un 30%.

-Tamaño
Algo a tomar en cuenta es que el tamaño podria cubrir ambas tomas del tomacorriente por eso recomiendo que lo usen para lugares donde no planeas entrar con frecuenca como detras de la estufa, micro, home theater etc (que nunca mueves).

-Señal
La Señal de Wifi es poderosa, alcanza toda la casa.

====english===
Here are some of the many qualities that I love.
-Simple to use!
Adding a contact on your cell phone is more difficult than setting up these devices. The Smart Life app is a "how to set up smart stuff for dummies" with a few taps you're done. Automations might take a little longer, but once you have it, you are ready.
-Practical
 You can create groups for functions together or manipulate the devices individually and add voice commands like "Bedtime" When everything starts to turn off / on in the programmed order (I love that one). All this even without Google or Alexa, in fact, the integration with them is very optional.

-Convenient:
I have configured the devices to sleep 10 minutes after me, but wake up 10 minutes before me. This improved my electricity bill by 30%. Weekends are setup different

-Size
Something to keep in mind is that the size could cover both outlets of the outlet so I recommend that you plan to use them for places where you do not plan to enter frequently such as behind the stove, micro, home theater etc (that you never move).

-Signal
The Wifi signal is powerful, it reaches the whole house.

title: Model Citizen (Alabama) is the best unknown rock band of the last 20 years!

text: This Birmingham Alabama based band are the equivalent to the Who in their prime. The first track on the album, called Protege, tells the story of MC's lead singer trying to reach out to Pete Townsend in a letter, and get's a response from one of his secretaries. The response wasn't quite what he was looking for in return from his heartfelt letter of appreciation. What we end up with is one of the best rock n roll songs ever written. Even though this is an EP, I can't imagine an LP being any more exciting. These guys lay it all out on the line and prove why they are not only the best original band Alabama has ever know but also why they should also be regarded as one of the best bands the world has ever known. Pick up this cd today and discover the secret treasure known as Model Citizen.


Oprah and Deepak -  another amazing  series. Grace is the essense of  transformation, and this CD  has helped me beyond my expections.


title: Misleading description

text: Misleading description and advertising. This product leads you to believe you are getting an actual disc of music and there is nothing like that included in what you are purchasing. Amazon should be more careful on how the seller describes their product.


title: Celeste has an amazing voice to be sure

text: Celeste has an amazing voice to be sure... the songs are simplistic and "bubble gum" like.  I was hoping the songs would have more depth and purity.  I do love 3 of the songs.  It is worth listening to and guying the songs you like on iTunes.


title: Brand new never opned

text: Good quality


title: Underrated Country Gem!

text: Such a great album only begs the question, "Why am I just now hearing this?" Sanford Clark shines on this record and make it an instant classic to have on hand. If you're a fan of REAL, old school country (not the twangy pop music that poses as country today), you'll fall in love with this record. Get your hands on a copy now!


title: Perfect condition

title: An All Time Favorite

text: I was very happy to receive this great CD!  It was the first album I bought when I started my belly dance journey 40 years ago.  Great tunes and great memories.


title: One of My Dad's Favorite Albums

text: He was a WWII vet who absolutely loved music. He gave this particular collection to me shortly before he passed so now I treasure it. Each song reminds me of my growing-up years, and of him.


title: But I'm glad I did

text: I almost never buy a CD from and artist I've just discovered. But I'm glad I did. There's some amazing music on here, and this guy is quite an amazing performer. .<br />But 13 Horses is the most heart-breaking song I've ever heard in my life!


title: stan nct, cowards

text: we stan kings that aren’t afraid to dominate the world


title: Good

text: Helpful


title: Brilliant, stripped down acoustic MO. Awesome

text:
A truly fine addition to any MO collection, assuming you don't mind some stripped down, heartfelt, acoustic versions of some fantastic rock tracks.
All the tracks stand well as variants of the originals. I'm not sure whether they would have the same impact if you only knew these without the originals for reference. These are good in a standalone sense but the real beauty is in the change of pace from the originals... Shake It Out, in particular, is one of my favorite tracks simply because I almost prefer it over the original.  Only One, The River, Friends, Sleeper... All fantastic.

Like MO and Andy Hull with his prosaic lyrical stylings?  Get this.
The only problem is that it is too short, but it is certainly worth every penny even so.


title: LIke dreaming.

text: Need to get to an altered state without pharmaceuticals? Listen to this. LIke dreaming.

title: A classic from a different time and space that is worth treasuring

text: This is a classic recording from  Bosko Petrovic's club in Zagreb. I had the fortune to be in Croatia at the time and I value this recording, in body and soul.


title: Obscure Auger release that’s actually one of his best!

text:
This was recorded in 1980 and released without any fanfare. I happed upon it in a little music store in Tustin, CA.  Bring a major Auger fan from his “ In & Out” days I had to get it. I was really taken back when I first played it. Way ahead of its time. Sans Auger himself, I’d never heard of any of the players on the LP:

Brian Auger – Keyboards
Mike Clark – Drums
Tom Donlinger – Drums
Dave Crigger – Drums
Terry Baker – Drums
Michael Barsimanto – Drums
Ho Young Kim – Guitar
George Doering – Guitar
Paul Jackson – Bass
Steve Evans – Bass
Dave McDaniels – Bass
Patrick Gleeson – Synths

All I know is that this is clearly one of the best albums Brian Auger has put out. Jazz Fusion at its best. Really driving numbers that went well beyond what he was doing with The Oblivion Express.

Sadly, this seems to have been a one-off project that I believe was recorded in San Francisco. Wish he had done a couple more albums with these guys.

Just saw where it’s now available on Apple Music in Lossless format. Check it out … but if you’re an Auger fan I would recommend purchasing this for yourself. I guarantee it’s we’ll worth the money.


title: 60s Technology: A Technological First

text: Not to be too picky or anything, but this album was originally released in 1967, so it was using 60s technology, not 70s technology. It was even a year BEFORE Switched on Bach appeared in 1968.


title: On CD's I want to see a full list of the songs

text: Replaced this as mine other was "all blown out"  knew what I was getting

title: Wonderful praise music

text: Fun and moving praise & worship music from George Fox University.


title: Very Hard to Find Album

text: My father-in-law played with Sal & Sidro in their band in the early years & is even mentioned on the album. They play the music that we have danced to at parties & dances over the many years. Very sentimental album for us & my wife's family. This album is very hard to find, so snap it up if you find it available & for sale.


title: Good

text: Also a great CD!


title: Five Star Spiritual Music.....The Best!

text: The best spiritual music I own. Meditation, massage, or just to relax, you won't find better. All music by thaddeus is as beautiful as this.


title: Some of the best music I've heard

text: Some of the best music I've heard, but $149.00 is a bit much considering you can buy it directly from orindaben for $30.00.


title: I really like Music by Thaddeus

text: I have listened to lots of spiritual music and really like this music. Generally when I first start something new, I will have a dream to gauge it's effectiveness. This was true with this music. I had a vision that told me of the positive effects of this on my being. I can feel the vibrations in my aura, I, to be frank feel like a christmas tree when using this music, like the atoms are very excited. I also use a Radiac appliance often and use the music with it, as they seem to work hand in hand, kind of compliment each other. My soul just kind of soars with peace and harmony, and I can find refuge for the time I am using it. God Bless, ED.


title: Music great packaging is crap.

text: Great way to have most of the Eagles hits in one place, but the packaging is crap. I don't mind cardboard packaging but to get the cds out you have to pull it out and get finger prints all over the cd plus the scratches you will put on the cd.


title: killer cleaner

text: I am very picky regarding how my vinyl sounds. I went through a number of cleaners, some didn't clean others left a residual that would build up on the stylus. G2 was the one that cleaned and left no residue. I use the G2 brush and follow up with a second brush from Audio-technica (maybe I should have said anal). My albums sound perfect.  Great stuff.


title: It's Electro-Convulsive BABY!!!

text: This is my favorite live album. Hard to believe that when I bought it at Fukuhara music store in downtown Okinawa City over ten years ago that it would be worth $45 here now. I would have to say if you love Rollins Band you will not even remember that you spent 50 bucks by the end of this extremely jamerous recording. It was recorded in mainland Japan somewhere, I don't have the CD in front of me, I was just inspired to write about it...other than what sounds like at some point someone yelling "MARINE CORPS!" during "Hard", to the Beasties' "Gratitude" and talking about brains...this is Hank and his best band, being Hank. If you are a fan, this will be the cherry on top of your Rollins collection. I know it's on top of mine. Enjoy!


title: Amazing Worship

text: Awesome worship music.


title: Enjoy Sounds That Speak

text: If you're interested in creative music, professional percussionist  Dave Schoepke continues to give us new sounds, continuing his life long journey exploring and performing!


title: Worthy. Not watered down.

text: Great for the short attention spans of today's youth. Contextually sound.


title: Five Stars

text: Dave always gives you a good show!


title: Wonderful, Inspirational, and Timeless

text: Connie Scott is one of the best Christian vocal artists ever!  Her music is timeless, inspirational, and so very enjoyable!


title: A Timeless Favorite

text: This has always been one of my favorite artists and collections.  After many years of not hearing this music, I cannot get enough of it.  One of the best Christian vocal artists ever!


title: Not Your Mama's Pipe and Drum Music!!

text: Wow!! I love it!! The bagpipes! The drums! It is positively tribal. The local radio station played a few cuts and literally had me dancing in my living room!! It really tugged on my Celtic heartstrings.  (I'm Scottish and Welsh.) I bought the MP3 downloads for two of the albums today and made myself a ROCKING walking CD.


title: Greatness !

text: Some great songs from the 70’s.  Brings back a ton of memories!


title: Very unique record

text: Very high quality record. The holograms that spin on it are unique and I've enjoyed showing this off to many friends. I even have an extra saved and sealed in the packaging!


title: Do not bother unless...

text: You are a rabid fan or a completist. These fellas are much better with scripted comedy than ad libbing. This album contains inferior material than on many of their other albums.


title: Delivery great

text: Love Jamaican music


title: Great

text: Really good collection of songs for praising the LORD.


title: What I expected

text: Happy with my purchase


title: Not as advertized

text: The soundtrack was really not with the hymns that this  group produces. It was only music and very little of that. I just threw it away as I was disappointed with content and I would not be playing it again


title: Five Stars

text: Love all the songs he sings about Louisiana


title: Ridiculous DIPSET mix tape

text:
Hell Rell represents the DIPSET CLICK - except that they're from Harlem whereas Hell Rell is from the Boogie Woogie (a.k.a. Boogie Down Bronx). I like the DIPSETS, although I haven't been particularly impressed with their lyrical abilities. This Hell Rell kid, though, takes it to another level. I didn't know what to expect from this kid, but he is downright nasty.

In one track he talks about moving in on someone's territory up in CT, and ends a rhyme with "let me get my AK on." I thought this was very clever and funny. On another track he says "I heard there was a price on my head, so I bought myself." On yet another track he states that "if you can count your money, then you ain't got enough."

Yes, he is a gangster (having just done a bid at Clinton Correctional Facility), but at least he comes across as the real thing (unlike say, Tony Yayo, who comes across as 50's yes man). Very nasty delivery, very clever punch lines, lots of that old New York swagger. Very impressive stuff. Hopefully he doesn't get himself whacked or sent off to college (mafioso talk for going to prison) before hitting us off with at least 2 or 3 albums.

FYI - This mix tape was released circa SEPT 2005.


title: Three Stars

text: bought for My Girl

title: Vintage New Wave!

text: "Ca-ca-ca-can't you see, I want ya, want ya back..."  One of the greatest hits of the 80s New Wave craze.  Checking every few months for this album to come out on CD.  Never forget the Screamer of the Week on WLIR on Long Island and NYC!


title: Beautiful! calming and uplifting.

text: Desire and Destiny is my favorite of the 21 day meditations by Deepak and Oprah.Some of the meditations are absolutely exquisite!

Bach is my favorite, and is not much to say,mis the favorite of many
Alfred Brendel plays this Bach like a piece of heaven, have several version of every one of the pieces
And this is just magic, Bach can be intelectual, romantic, sometime  schmaltzy, the point here is good quality of schmaltz
Every track in this cd is a master piece, and in the way Brendel say to you, is just magic
Is as high as spirit can rise
David


title: Five Stars

text: Love Yossi Banai, he is great<br />David


title: Doesn't even merit the 1-Star

text:
One of the worst recorded set of vocals I have ever heard (over 60 years of listening).  The voice is as if recorded through or in a very large drainage pipe or cavern.  Any CD vocals from the forties, or even thirties, I've listened to sound better than this 2005-produced mess.  What a disservice to a likely deserving vocalist; what a waste of purchasers' money.

This item also available through the label company at a drastically lower price.

Don't say you weren't advised.

****


title: Love it

text: love it, terrific music!!!!


title: Awesome

text: All seasons were mixed elegantly


title: Not all unplugged as the headline states

text: Love the Eagles, always will, saw the concert on PBS one night years ago. Just wish the whole concert was "unplugged" . What is, is fabulous  and puts a whole different spin on the songs. Still a good one to add your collection


title: Great!

text: A Fine transaction!


title: What's On This CD?

text: How could anyone be expected tp buy this CD without a track listing?


I have this cd and I absolutely love it. Sasha has a relaxing, soothing voice, and the message is uplifting and inspired. Just lovely!


title: This is Charley Pride's best live album ever!

text: Are you a Charley Pride fan?  Treat yourself to his best live album ever!  My favorite track on this album is Charley's rendition of Bobby Bare's "Streets of Baltimore" with Lloyd Green on pedal steel guitar.  Unfortunately, all of Charley's RCA archives now belong to Sony; Sony has never converted and re-released this album on CD, so just purchase the vinyl 78 and blow the dust off the old turntable.


title: Great product!

text: I heard this group played at a football game and recommended them to a friend. I had to buy this and I was very happy with the product and the seller! I will consider doing business with the seller again!


title: Chinese pop is awesome

text: It is a great cd. I've listened to Aaron Kwok for some time now and this was a great addition to my collection. His voice is very unique and it fits how he sings his songs. His style of music is similar to Leon Lai. I've had this for a month  now and I love it.


title: A Must for George Michael Fans

text: This collection is beautifully assembled and showcases the amazing voice of George Michael.  There were many songs I had not heard before, so it was a welcomed surprise.  He left us far to soon, but his music will live on into eternity.


title: Being used it was in good condition

text: Love the cd great


title: Bittersweet

text: Happy to finally own my most favorite and nostalgic song on 45, unfortunately was scratched half way through and skipped. Somewhat to be expected with such an old item, but still happy to have it forever!


title: A must have!

text: Amazing record, he will be so missed,


title: Defenitely a different sound from her!

text: Don't let the first track throw you off, it is a very different sound from Adele than we might be accustomed to hearing. But the $16 for the bonus tracks is WELL WORTH IT! It's a sound for anyone going through pain, trying to get to the other side.<br />I cried at "To Be Loved"


title: I  want to say these batteries are good and their servives are better！

text: i  want to say these batteries are good and their servives are better！now they took a charge and work well.


title: Music that will change your mood and outlook on life.

text: Since receiving these CD's I have listened to them three times and get something new out of them each time. They are the most relaxing, positive,thought provoking CD's of our time. This is being written by a 62 year old retired male who is not normally touched by things like this.


title: Contemporary Christian Music

text: This CD has great messages and music.  Michael W. Smith is a tremendous artist.


title: Mix of styles

text: Enjoyed this C D very much.  Tara O'Grady is very talented.  Fine mix of musical styles, and clever lyrics.  Highly recommend this C D.


title: Perfect in every way

text: I haven't heard great music like this in a long time, Eric Hutchinson is going to be liked by everyone,lots of people already do love him,I listen to him every day morning and night and it never gets old.How can I express how great he is,just listen to his music and you will know what I mean. :)


title: Taiwanese "Britney Spears" sensation

text:
She may not be as popular as Britney Spears, but she can certainly more than hold her own.  She has at least 8 music videos released from this CD (out of a possible 10 full songs), Honey Trap, Love Player (with the introduction beforehand), Black-Haired Beautiful Girl, Nothing Left to Say, Real Hurt, Butterflies in My Stomach, Let's Break Up, and Take Immediate Action. Some of these songs, I'm surprised are even releases.  I mean they are good, but they don't stand out as much as some of the other ones for me. Butterflies and Let's Break Up don't catch me attention as much.  I'm surprised I haven't seen Party Star as a release.  She may as well release the whole album at this point and see what happens to the videos.

It's too bad she can't be appreciated more in the US.  This album is an electronic masterpiece!  (and I do not even know Chinese unfortunately.)


title: rawness of a music talent

text: Some silly lyrics.  A start to a talented career!  Pretty raw.  Look really hard in my reviews and you might know how this record has any connection with my other reviews if you do not already know!


title: Great movie great music

text: Songs are great


title: Love's Forever Changes is forever classic

A true gem, an emotional kaleidoscope of beautiful sound.  This is one of those cds that honestly deserves to be considered "a classic that has been overlooked".  It is classic... and it was overlooked!  I am happy that this cd is finally getting its due credit and I feel fortunate that I came across it and gave it a try.  My life is richer because of it; honeslty.

I highly recommend that you read the other reviews offered on this site, people have done a wonderful job explaining and detailing the quality of this album.  I am just here to tell you to give it a try, to believe the reviewers.  You don't have to be a lover of sixties music to enjoy this.  Although this album does a great job of incorporating many sounds of its time, it is highly original and progressive... and ultimately timeless. It is rich lyrically and musically.

Right off the bat, the cd explodes with beautiful textures and when the horn section busts in you realize that this music is different than anything you have heard before, but somehow familiar.  What follows is an emotional roller coaster of songs that swoop to beautiful lows and ascend to atmospheric, colorful highs.  This is an expression of life itself, of love itself - and few cds have done a better job of expressing the human experience.

text:
This is very rare and hard to came by
This is Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham

title: Four Stars

text: Overall it was in not that bad of condition


title: Very nice remaster of an imperfect, but essential show

text: Remastered version is a huge improvement over the original, which was mixed way too low. As for the recording itself, it's likely the most complete version we'll ever get of this unique show. The orchestration is full and lush and the singing is solid, if a little lifeless in comparison to the original Broadway cast album. For fans of Sondheim, it's a must listen.


title: Cool album, worth owning but not solid

text:
This song has 'hit's on it, and those songs by all means are 5 star songs. But there are songs on here that come off as filler imo and I can't give this album 5 stars.

I'd say the best tracks are: Sooner or Later, Strawberry Sunday, Why Do I Care, and I don't Mind. These songs are gems, replete with good hooks, catchy melodies, and great production.

Very shoe gazey, sound. Think Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3 or Jesus and Mary Chain. The vocals are the strong point. Aliccia can really sing, and her vox are up there with the best. I highly recommend picking this album up.

Normally I'd rate an album with this much filler a 3 star album, but the songs on here that are good are really good.


title: A HIDDEN GEM!

text: I’ve been in love with JD’s Queen of the Damned songs since Napster was a thing because that was the only way to get those songs. In 2007 I went to the Alone I Play tour and passed on the cd/dvd for sale at the merch table. I’ve regretted it ever since. This is one of my favorite albums ever made. There’s nothing I own that I’ve listened to more than Alone I Play. So glad that I was finally able to get an original copy of this. Now all I need to do is get Jonathan Davis to sign it and the circle will be complete.


title: another good release from Sum 41

text: If you are a fan of Sum 41, then their newest album shouldn't disappoint. This album is pretty similar to their last album "Does this look infected" (DTLI) as it has some heavy guitar riffs and fast-paced punk-sometimes bordering on metal. There is also some rapping in the verses of some of the songs like in DTLI. However, this album has some slower, more mellow songs unlike DTLI. So, if you liked Sum's first two poppier albums but didn't care for DTLI then I wouldn't recommend this album, but to all those who enjoy Sum's last album, I think you'll enjoy this one also. Chuck is a solid 38 minute long album with heavy guitars and catchy hooks. As far as content goes, the lyrics seem to be a little more serious than on prior albums and seem to be more influenced by current world occurences. But it all comes down to the fact that Sum 41 has done what they do best and put out a quality punk album.


title: Victoria Theatre performance

text: I saw LA CAVA at the Victoria Palace Theatre in 2000 and I thought it was a simply amazing musical.  If you read the reviews, they all say something remarkable about it at the same time they say it will fail.  I have not heard this cast album, I'm only speaking for the performances I saw in 2000.  An amazing story, rich and colorful, superb sets and imaginative costumes, a musical that is really ABOUT something important, instead of tasteless humor and leggy dancers, like most musicals today.  I keep hoping another theatre will stage a revival just to prove the cynics wrong.  Please Claflin and O'Keefe: don't give up on this gem!!


title: Classic pop and a beautiful voice

text: If you are a fan of "the Great American Songbook" this one is a must!  The songs are pop classics, Helen's delivery is flawless and the orchestra and arrangements are great!


title: Great Holiday Listening

text: This is a fabulous recording--full of love, Jewish culture & family--an excellent assortment of musical styles with great vocals & instrumentation! I am Christian, but I listen to this CD & its companion "Menorah" every December! Although the themes are Jewish, they are, also, universal! Shelley Posen is wonderful!


title: Five Stars

text: I listened to Tears for Fears when I was younger and now my 12 year old loves them.


title: Musical **mshot!

text:
The Amino Acids are no joke as a musical act, or else one HELL of a good joke. Musically, the only bands I can easily compare them to are the Mermen, or say, the right Rev. Horton Heat. An entirely instrumental act, the Aminos play a hybrid surf/hardcore sound, with each song only lasting 1-3 minutes and leaving you wanting more.  High energy, extremely FUN rock.  Only wish the songs weren't so short.

Minor notes: they always wear masks in concert. They intersperse their music with short soundbytes about alien sightings and men from mars and the like, many clipped from vintage sci-fi films. They are also one of the few rock-type bands that make frequent use of a theremin. And they have a great video at their website, which will do a better job of giving you the lowdown than my review. I purchased all their CDs directly from there.  The Aminos are in frequent play here.


title: Celtic Imagery Abounds

text: Doug Hammer’s music is so beautiful.  After attending a small concert of his in Chicago I bought a CD. After listening to it nonstop for weeks I had to share it with my daughter. He described his inspiration as the coastal lives of those living in Brittany, France. It’s a perfect blend of Celtic influences and visions of a fisherman’s day.


title: Not in Near Mint Condition as described

text: Item Pictured is in much better condition than what was sent. Record itself is in good condition but outer sleeve has significant wear on backside, not just edgewear as indicated in listing. Inner sleeve pictured was not included.

title: Sounds great.

text: Probably not as good sonically  as the vinyl version but it cost way less and I am happy with the music.


title: my demon lover

text: if you like just music thats fine i guess, but i bought this cd awhile back and i thought it was the songs from the movie it wasn't, what a rip off.


title: thanks

text: this is one well put together cd. a must for your collection of al. great!


title: Straight from San Antonio

text: This is a great album with a live concert feel. The tracks "Taking Away" and "Time 4 Me 2 Go" are among my favorites. A great CD to check out and play especially to mix into your rock collection for parties. A must buy for San Antonio and Texas natives.


title: My Go-To Recording of the Symphonie Fantastique

text: Though over 60 years old, and with so many wonderful renditions committed since to disc, this is still my favorite recording of Berlioz's masterpiece.  Especially in the two final movements:  for so ancient a recording, when listened to on a system with good speakers-- bright treble and deep bass-- and with the volume turned up -- the March and Sabbat movements fairly knock your socks off  I doubt that this is a recording utilizing the serpents and ophicleides originally called for by Berlioz-- even most modern performance don't-- but the effect of the low brasses used is nonetheless visceral.  (In the March at times the depth is reminiscent of foghorns!)  After this the Sabbat is eerie and almost Mussorgskian.  All this with mid-50s recording equipment! Mitropoulos leads the NYPO with elan and verve.  A great interpretation and highly recommended.


title: Wonderful performances of wonderlful pieces

text: This is a gem of a recording: exquisite pieces by a little-known composer, given fittingly exquisite performances.  Corrette is known today for his organ concerti and vocal works; but these concertos, based on popular tunes of the day, are if anything more varied and more engaging than the organ works.  Roussel and the Antiqua Musica give wonderful accounts of these pieces. Corrette wrote about 25 Concertos Comiques, as he called them, and this recording has eight: I only wish Roussel et al had recorded the full set.  This has never been released on CD, to my knowledge. And these days, even were the complete set to be undertaken, they'd almost certainly be on so-called "period instruments"-- which I find anything but alluring to the ear. These are gloriously realized on modern instruments and are endlessly delightful.  Most highly recommended!


title: Overall, the Best Available Record of Mozart's great last symphonies

text: There are so many fine discs of the Mozart symphonies available, but if I had to choose, I would say this is the best of all for the great last quartet of  symphonies.  (The "Prague" Symphony is fully a peer of the great last three.) Everything about this double-disc set is wonderful: the performances are all brilliant, the sound is splendid... the Prague has never been more exuberantly played, the E-Flat shows equal eclat, the Jupiter is properly Olympian, and the G Minor is second to none, including, in the great finale, the repeat not only of the exposition, but also of the development-recapitulation, which most recordings lack. Sawallisch's direction is magisterial, the Czech Philharmonic's playing displays utmost virtuousity... in short, out of the myriad of Mozart symphony recordings, this is a particular gem.


title: AMAZING MUSIC from an adolescent!

text: The parallels between Mozart and Mendelssohn are, in some ways, striking. Both were child prodigies whose elder sisters were also prodigies. Both were highly intelligent. Both died young (Mozart a month before his 36th birthday, and Mendelssohn at 38).  (And both were Aquarians.)  --  These string symphonies are revelatory. The first six were composed at 12 years of age, the second six between 13 and 14.  And they are amazing.  Indeed, comparing this music with that by Mozart at the same age, Mendelssohn's is arguably richer and more mature. Indeed, these works, and the second set of six particularly, sound like they were composed by a mature composer, and one of genius as well.  They are filled with reminiscences of Haydn and Mozart, and with adumbrations of Beethoven (still alive while these were composed) and of Mendelssohn's own mature, derived style. Indeed, the mature works of Mendelssohn-- the Scottish and Italian Symphonies, the Violin Concerto, the Hebrides Overture--- are sparer of texture and invention, and also at times bordering on preciosity.  These works are magnificent--- sometimes brooding, formidably intellectual, striking in originality (witness the "Swiss Song" movement in no. 11 with its obbligato timpani and triangle).  Of the twelve I myself would deem no. 8 in D Major perhaps the finest, though all the pieces nos. 6 through 12 are startlingly fine. The orchestra on this recording is splendid too, as is the fine direction of Ross Pople, and the sound quality is excellent. All in all, I would award this a Rosette, unhesitatingly!

text: The CD arrived from overseas before the promised date and it mint condition. Even the case arrived without cracks. I would do business with this seller in the future.


The songs are fun, but the case came cracked .  The cd and case were both covered with pizza sauce? or ketchup?  Therefore it did not work<br />very well.

If you are looking for some groovy relaxing music, and who isn’t being where we all are, this is it: Leon Redbone
had the ability of singing “in the pocket” with old standards. His accompaniment is top notch professionals who
are good and sure enough to allow the singer to dominate. You won’t find a better CD to settle down with
keeping you and your honey Welcome company.


title: FooMama Approves =D

text: I did not know I could love them more!  Sexiest song I've ever heard is If Ever...  I think I even have a new favorite!  They're all good!  The ones that are already released, these are the alternate version of the song, and a lot are new, some are remakes, and WOW.  Just WOW.  Only wish one small thing:  Bring it to us in VINYL!!! ~ FooMama

title: Incredible Concert

text: I made the mistake of not DVRing when it was on cable last year or so. It was available to buy on Prime, but I couldn't watch on my TV. So, I ordered the boxed set. It is outstanding, and one of those few things you of which you want to have a "hard copy"


title: Beautiful Album

text: Packaging is great (esp the CD part); nice photos; high quality photocard; overall beautiful album :)


title: This was a perfect gift, may buy one for myself~

text: Perfect condition and sealed! This album also came with a photobook of Kyuhun! That made me and my friend really happy, she really liked her gift :) this also came with Super Junior's Mamacita photo card with all of them on it, and a heart/concert stick with VIXX on one side and BTS (bangtan boys) on the other! I was really surprised and happy. 5/5~


title: you can't ask for better Irish music

text: An absolute gem of an album!  As you can tell by sampling the music, you can't ask for better Irish music.  I especially like how the lyrics depict the life of the Irish and Irish American and the connection they have.  They only thing better than listening to The Elders' music on your stereo/radio, is to listen to them live!  They will keep you on your feet dancing, bestow a warm feeling in your heart and put a smile on your face!!!  Don't miss out!


title: was a  gift and very much appreciated

text: Yes very pleased with CD


title: We LOVE this CD!

text: We just got this CD for the 2nd time...  After a car crashed into our living room in January a week later someone broke into our car and ripped out the stereo and everything below (and we had to get another car!!!) They also stole our CD's including several kid's CD's.  I do a home day care and my daughter also loves this particular CD.  We almost thought we wouldn't be able to get it--it seems to be out of circulation.  It's such a great collection of kid's Bible songs!  If you want something really fun and lively for kids to learn a bit more about God's love, this is it!

text: Great stuff if you like early Devolution.


title: The Methuen Music Hall Organ, to Good Effect

text:
The three showpiece recordings on this disc are the Variations on America (Charles Ives), the Danse Macabre (Camille Saint-Saens) and The Stars and Stripes Forever (John Philip Sousa).  Simon Preston takes full advantage of the Methuen Memorial Music Hall organ; you will not find better or more engaging recordings.

The remaining recordings are also very good, but they will not rouse you out of their seat.  All are well-regarded pieces of music, some famous at one time, but not first-tier by today's concert standards.


title: Delivered on time

text: Delivered on time and good quality!


title: Awesome!

text: I grew up with in record and I used to listen to it over and over again. Even today, each song I still love and have not heard another band take their actual style, which is depressing.


title: Excellent core material, plus some "merely good" stuff that obscures it a bit

text: One of my all-time favorite progressive rock bands, this album is actually a touch below the preceding ones...  There are a couple songs in which the powerfully expressive lead singer is not fully used (the substitute is weaker), and the sequencing of the album's is not what I'd prefer.  But this contains at least a full LP-worth (over 40 minutes) of music that is comparable to what this band has accomplished in their incredibly good previous releases, with the remainder of the disc still consisting of very solid (good but not necessarily great) music.  Resequenced, this isn't a problem, the "good" music merely serving as a brief interlude between the "great" music.  But I think new listeners, unfamiliar with this band's style and ability, might get overwhelmed or distracted by the contrasts and the "merely good" tracks and not realize just how fine this band is.  New listeners should probably listen just to a portion of this disc at a time, re-listening until the complexities in the songs becomes more familiar and clear.  Opening track is excellent.  Closing tracks are excellent.  In between, some skipping around will help to maximize the listening experience.  My recommendation to focus upon this album's excellent core material, by playing the following, in this order:  Slipstream, My Damn Self, Rest of their Lives (gorgeous guitar sounds here!!!), Freedom, Miracle (breathtaking sounds worked into this one!), Pretty Toy Gun.  This stuff is excellent and merits the 5-star rating!!!  The rest is a good bonus in addition to this essential core.  New listeners: don't be too turned off, please, by the handful of swear words contained in this disc (rated PG-13), as most of them are not present in these core, excellent tracks.


title: Great

text: What a great unknown musical! The record I got was new-still shrinkwrapped- and played perfectly!


title: Really good tunes, check it out

text: This is a really obscure band from Oklahoma City that put out a really well produced, tight CD of clever songs. I think they sound like early (re good) Strokes. They are supposed to have a new CD out soon in 2008. Check them out on Myspace to hear several songs. Bringing Knives to a Gunfight is a real classic.


title: Mono recording

text: Some of the remastered CD of mono age sound pretty harsh, not this one. And the price is more than reasonable.


title: Very interesting and easy to read for non-scientific people

text:
It has been a very interesting experience to read this book. It is very easy to understand for non-scientific people.

I recomend this book to whoever wants to understand how our thoughts affect our body (cells).


title: this is brilliant beauty. My high school seniors have been greatly ...

text: Melodic beauty of the highest order. I have used this in my class on 1960's culture as a modern take of the folk/introspetive/percussive music that gathered a generation, inspiring young people to examine the everyday in profound ways. Richie Havens and Nick Drake and Van Ronk...this is brilliant beauty. My high school seniors have been greatly moved by this, and they are very sophisticated in their musical tastes. This one takes you inside and outside emotionally...wonderful singer.

title: BEST Bathtime music EVER!!!

text: By Clementown, this is the best toddler bathtime music I have ever heard!  I have bought three of these cd's (which are hard to find!) for friends' baby showers.  My kids know it's bathtime when they hear the first song "Rubber Duckie." Then they enjoy a nice, entertaining bath that ends with "Shampoo Shampoo." You won't be disappointed--kids and parents alike. I hope Clementown keeps making music!


title: Drums along the mohawk / Jacknifed

text: Both albums are really great. Jacknifed is awsome better than Drums along the Mohawk. Mike try Blue note records in Miami or(north Miami Beach) bought Drums along the Mohawk there 3 years ago. Feel the Heat (his best  known song) is also the original soundtrack for the movie Cobra with  Silvester Stalone.


title: GREAT RECORDING!!!

text: I bought this originally back in the early 80's as an LP but somehow I lost it & have looking for YEARS for its reissue on CD & now here it is! One of the very best recordings of music that really isn't recorded that much. Very happy I found this CD reissue of one of my most favorite albums.


title: It's a edited cd

text: Paid to get the unedited version of the cd and its edited pissed off.


title: Not a first-press

text: If you're looking for a first press album, this is not it! The album came in nicely, there were no bends or damages, and the photocard was safe. I will say though that the photocard is printed upside down, so it is noticeably different from the first-press ones (through no fault of the seller, I'm just a little sad by how much the albums have changed since they switched distributors). If you don't care about whether or not an album is a first or second press, I recommend buying it here!

text: This is my second Bob Ralston album. First was piano, this is organ. Got a really good used record no scratches and pristine cover. Super smooth and relaxing. Good for background music while working from home during pandemic. Nothing too flashy. Part of a larger Lawrence Welk collection. Very traditional organ sound, but not religious. Tunes include "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" , for example.  I picture a grandma playing with pride when it first came out in 1972! Enjoy.

title: The Musical Genius of Bernard Herrmann

text: Although the stories themselves in the hour-long Alfred Hitchcock television format are not as widely acclaimed as those in the 30 minute version, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, the artistic qualities in the hour-long productions come across as far superior.  With Norman Lloyd as executive producer, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour presented itself as a much more moody, haunting, darkly atmospheric program without as much of the gaudy gallows humor that abounded in Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The musical theme and background, too, reached a higher peak of artistry with the engagement of Bernard Herrmann as composer.  In Volume One of Alfred Hitchcock Hour television soundtrack one is guided deeper into such stories as Body in the Barn with music that communicates a peaceful, bucolic veneer glossing over a sinister undercurrent of murder and deception. The music for the episode The McGregor Affair uses woodwind instruments to mimic old Scottish folk music, almost sounding like bagpipes, that somehow manages to surpass mere depiction of simple life of 1820s Edinburgh and remind us that grave robbers like Burke and Hare lurked in the shadows of the narrow, winding lanes. Listening to this collection, one is transported back 50 years in television history to the time when terror was in the mind of the viewer and not dripping from the dagger of a hooded super-corpse.


title: arrived in time but had a broken cover that fell off. Not a good way to insure more deliveries

text: This a good album for a cause near to me in so many ways. Not as good as the first Wave Aid cd, but still<br />good relaxing music. Glad I bought it.


title: Talent and Charm

text: Saw this band in Savannah, Georgia, for St. Pat's-- actually Tera Feis. They were so good and so charming that I bought their CD to remember them by and to play when I want to hear a tune from old Ireland . . .  performed by young Irish talent. If you get the chance to see them live, take it!

title: Not the only Les Troyens to have, but a must have for the principals

text: I love this opera, but I'd forgotten how much. The low price and the strong principals--Deborah Voigt, Ben Heppner, and the late, lamented Lorraine Hunt Lieberson--make this recording an attractive purchase. This is not, however, a recording you'll purchase for great sound: it falls, rather, under the rubric of a "historic performance." There's a lot of stage noise, the chorus is not well recorded, and the volume level is mezzo-forte throughout. So it's not the only Les Troyens you'd want--the first Colin Davis recording [[ASIN:B0018ODSQU Berlioz: Les Troyens]] remains indispensable. Still, don't pass up this one!

title: Hank's review.

text: I bought this set to explore the quality of surround sound recordings and I do know and like this selection of music. The good is that most of the discs sound very nice indeed and I enjoyed listening to it and will do many more times. The bad is that the box is very basic with no information about track numbers at all. Only the main pieces are listed. The recordings of Rachmaninoff were disappointing and they also mixed up the labels. Rachmaninoff was on the Mozart disc and Mozart on the Rachmaninoff disc. The only reason for the three stars is that it is a nice collection and 11 of the 12 discs sound good.

title: Incredibly imaginative!

text: Do you like exceptional electronics? Do you like magical minimalism? Do you like wonderful Wyatt?  If this sounds intriguing, do yourself a favor and get this at any cost! It is obscure so grab while you can!  This is easily one of my best acquisitions this year if not the best!


title: A difficult listen and far from his best or even his not so good

text: I have owned or heard nearly all of Peter Hammill's releases and this one is near the bottom of the list in terms of likeability.  To my ears most(not all) of this album is quite annoying to listen to. It has exceptions such as the beautiful The Play's The Thing but generally the album does not cut the mustard.  Try almost any of his releases from the 70s or the past 10 years before this. Much of his output in the 80s and 90s were hit and miss. I love that Peter experiments with new styles and has a wide range of the same but this one is awful. Avoid.


title: Urban Sax 1st two albums are incredible!

text: Incredible minimalistic sax with beautiful long droning pieces of music.  Imagine Philip Glass going jazzy!  Highly repetitive hypnotic excursions into other worlds. Recommended!


title: Good sounding transfers of rare exotica.

text:
Well, I am so glad I bought this set when I did!  The cd set is a must have at less than extortionate prices, but you could buy all the original vinyl in excellent condition for the nearly $1k price tag being asked at the time of this writing.  The music throughout is outstanding, but my review will focus on the source material and mastering.

You get a clean but mono recording of Mirium Burton's African Lament, not a cheap vinyl rip.  Same with Frank Hunters' White Goddess. Its also mono, but MUCH cleaner than Captain High's pathetic attempt. Wish we could have these recordings in stereo, but until then the mono will have to do.

Bob Romeo's Aphrodisia was only recorded in mono, although a phased pseudo stereo 2 track reel exists that contains most of the tracks represented here. I prefer the mono on the cd set, although the reel is not without its charms. Good luck finding it!

Buddy Collette's Polynesia is AWESOME and I am so glad to have it on this set. It apparently only exists in mono, but the transfer for this set is very clean.

Ahmad Jamal has always been one of my favorite jazz performers, but I somehow never acquired his Macanudo recording. It is stereo and reasonably decent sounding, but I don't have the vinyl for comparison. I did find another reissue on cd and await its arrival. Will update my post with that comparison soon.

Loved listening to this book on long drives -- felt like I had taken a trip into the past without having to endure the famines, floggings, or poor sanitation!
The speaker balances a palpable enthusiasm for the ancient world with plain speech about about its barbarity and prejudices, particularly the life of the disabled and poor.By focusing on the lives of the ordinary people he has stripped away much of the glamour that modern-day revisionists ascribe to ancient civilizations. For example, he discusses the great accomplishments of Greek culture while laying bare the deep-rooted misogyny and unreflecting reliance on slavery. He highlights the toughness, organization and civic-mindedness of the Romans without shrinking from their brutality.
This balance continues in every vignette, mixing affection and admiration with plain descriptions of misery and social caste and crippling tradition.
Perhaps my favorite chapters were on the Romans in Britain, where he juxtaposes the many achievements of the Romans (baths! roads! aqueducts!) with the lot of the Roman solider forced to serve in this outpost, and quotes from Auden's poem Roman Wall Blues.


title: Simply the BEST Voice of Soul/R&B today

text: From start to finish, this CD will totally engage you with THE Voice.  Lalah has a unique gift that puts her out front.  She uses her voice as instrument in the same vein as Chaka or Rachelle.  I bought the CD and haven't stopped playing it for months.  She came to NY and TORE THE HOUSE DOWN at BB Kings.  If you are a New Yorker or live within a short distance join other "Lalaholics" and soul music lovers in petitioning to "Bring The Soul Dream Team to Summerstage 2005"  visit petitionspot.com/petitions/souldreamteam. The proposed show would feature Lalah, Rahsaan Patterson, Frank McComb and Eric Roberson. Would be the SOUL EVENT OF THE YEAR!Buy this CD you will enjoy it start to finish. Its collectible just like her first one.


title: Amazing!!

text: Amazing!!! Makes all these current day heavy rock bands wannabes (except maybe Tool). The bluesy rock sound on 'Damaged Soul' is badass. My only complaint is I wish they could take their lyrics to another level; the whole God/Satan thing is growing old. With that said let me be clear this is one amazing album. To think they haven't made an album together for over 30 years is amazing.

text:
This is my first contact with the author.  Ashamed to say that I've never seen nor read Mystic River.
This is a good action story with good descriptions that let your imagination run fairly well: Are there evil government guys, ex Nazis? But I ended up confused as other reviewers were.  Oh well.
The audio is a good way to "read" this book.  The reader is good, but with one exception.  He reads "M 15" instead of MI5.  Must not of heard of James Bond.

title: Webb's best recordings and a live radio broadcast!

text:
If I had to pick my single favorite Chick Webb record or CD, this CD would be the one.  The first 12 tracks are instrumentals recorded as commercial transcriptions by Webb and his band at Radio City Music Hall on January 9, 1939.  Never intended for record release, these were available only to Radio Stations for broadcast.  This 1989 Swedish CD, long out of print, but now apparently in print again and also available as mp3, is the only place the whole set is has ever been available, and most of the tracks are available nowhere else in print or out of print.  And these tracks are the basis for this being my favorite Webb record/CD.  Webb and his musicians are in top form, the recording is excellent, and the music is infectious.

The Southland Cafe radio broadcast of May 4, 1939, Webb's last recordings, less than a month and a half before his death, fill out the CD.  Again the band is in top form, and Ella Fitzgerald sings on several tracks.  One would never suspect from listening that Webb would be gone 6 weeks later from TB.  Again this is the only place the entire broadcast has ever been available.

Since Amazon doesn't list tracks, I have below.  I looked for years to find a copy of this CD while it was out-of-print and words can't describe my feelings on getting it.  Buy it yourself and share the joy.  It is available through Amazon in other countries for considerably lower prices than it is offered here.  Since I don't like the quite audible data and music loss I can hear in mp3 recordings, I would strongly recommend the CD over mp3.  But the mp3 is cheap, and if you enjoy listening to mp3, do yourself a favor and download this ASAP.  If you like this type of music, you will be delighted.

title: Weird science?

text:
I was initially intrigued by Lipton's comments, especially his long discourse on how genes and proteins work.  However, about 5 minutes from the end of the audio book, he mentions "Jesus" at least twice in the context of our ability to create miracles, or the "miracles of Jesus', with our mind.  I was not sure where he was going with the book since almost all of it is discussion of cell biology, or at least cell biology as described by Lipton.  The author goes through a lengthy explanation of cell biology only to end up asserting we can change our gene expression, or biology, through our thoughts.  As other reviewers have noted, he does not go into how we can change our biology, simply referencing some techniques.  The book is really just a "scientific" argument to lay the groundwork for something else, namely another new age theory of how mind energy can control matter.  I bought this book on iTunes and only after hitting the "Buy" button did I think to run Lipton through a quack detector.  There is little out there but I did find some discussion on a forum for readers of Richard Dawkins; I would give the link to the forum, but Amazon keeps deleting it in my review.  Some of the other reviewers have done an excellent job of pointing out the problems with Lipton's theory.

I agree that we really do not know all that much about the universe, why we are here, how our brains work and so on.  We have a lot to learn and we may very well discover someday that our thoughts can have a substantial impact on our gene expression, cure us of disease and perform an infinite number of miracles.  However, the evidence for this is sketchy and almost all experiments to prove the existence of psi, or other mysterious mind energy or control, have shown that nothing like this exists, or at least we cannot measure it yet.  I am skeptical and need evidence - Lipton's book provides none.  The book is just rambling weird science and I cannot recommend it because it does not do a good job of addressing epigenetics (this is a real area of science) and seems to be the foundation for Lipton's new age philosophy and business.  Also, Lipton's mention of Jesus at the end of the book is incongruous; faith is not science because you cannot observe, measure, prove or disprove mythological beliefs and their consequences.  By resorting to religious fervor at the end of the book, Lipton completely undermines his credibility as a scientist, and all his material up to that point gets called into question.  Look elsewhere for learning about epigenetics - this book goes onto the shelf with the new age hucksters.

title: A Fine Collection

text: This came with my very first CD player and was meant to show off the digital sound, which it dies very well. Beyond that, though, it’s a really great set.


title: Transporting

text:
The true stars of this CD are Emma Kirkby and Crispian Steele-Perkins in the 'Jauchzet' Cantata (more like a motet here in form), but we cannot overlook the 'Magnificat'; the fine ensemble singing is only enhanced by the period feel. Ultimately, I feel closer to the presentation Bach envisioned for his compositions. However, I would have preferred the classic coiled horn of the eighteenth century in the 'Jauchzet', if possible.

Emma Kirkby, with her cool, vibrato-less, scintillating soprano voice and precise delivery, undoubtedly sounds like the 12 year boy who sung the 'Jauchzet' during its premier. Absolutely authentic. The work challenging from a musical standpoint, being almost Italianate in ornamentation, with its dialogue between virtuoso voice and trumpet.

The 'Magnificat', when performed at Christmas, was sung in Latin (on other occasions in German). With the use of a large period orchestra, and the sophistication of musical mood enhancing the litergy, we have a remarkable achievement.

Highly recommended.

title: Good work, some problems

text: George Clooney's black and white feature is about journalist Edward R. Murrow's effort to challenge the methods of Senator Joseph McCarthy during the 1950's when he actively investigated and indicted members of the entertainment, media, and military industries for communist sympathies and Soviet membership. The film is decent and well acted, David Strathairn plays a very convincing Murrow, and Clooney's directing is competent. However, the film takes an entirely too simplistic moral view of its subject, it fails to acknowledge the paranoia of the period and has the benefit of hindsight. Additionally, the film makes CBS and Murrow's efforts more heroic then they actually were, Senator McCarthy certainly didn't have as much power as the entire CBS Corporation, and the journalists who brought him down weren't really risking as much as the film implies. Furthermore, McCarthy was not attacked until he investigated individuals with real power like high ranking officials in the military; the film fails to make this clear. An average work on the whole, but worth seeing none the less.

This Cd captures that event perfectly and shows the power of Ted and his early band. This is a fine live album and Ted and band never got the credit they deserved for putting out some fine music of that time! If you like Ted check this CD out you won't be disappointed

text: It goes almost without saying that these books are indispensable. The narrated versions by consummate actress Glenn Close are as close to perfect as an audiobook can be. Okay, her little Caleb voice almost threw me at first, but a few minutes into the recording I was lost in the story and the persuasive vocal acting. Trust me...get both the CDs and the paper editions.

title: Blaggers Always ITA

text: "Bad Karma" is arguably one of the best albums of the 1990s you never heard of. Roaring energy, good politics; it was all too much for the cowards at EM, who dropped them after an altercation with an especially arrogant journalist. The "bad boy" pose is just acceptable for middle-class musicians; when it comes to working-class bands, all they get is the boot. EMI's dropping and music papers boycott after the altercation essentially ended the career of a band poised for major success with principles intact.


title: Under-appreciated Classic

text: Fueled by pounding hypnotic drums, sparse instrumentals, liberal use of echo and an air of menace reminiscent of LKJ's first album, "Nyabinghi" is topped off by Ras Michael's plaintive tenor. This is not your usual 3-minute reggae grind; each of the cuts is long and the guitar mostly understated. "Nyabingi" almost reminds you in fact of the 70s era Kraut space-rock, although for sure, Ras Michael was unaware of that genre. Perhaps because it doesn't fit easily into the all-too restrictive reggae norm, "Nyabinghi" has been ignored, which is a shame because it shows reggae in an uncharacteristically experimental mode.

song list might look a little dated and open to cliche, but Herb totally misses that mark.  This guy's got some serious finesse, and his band on this album is tight.

p.s. If you ever get a chance to see this guy in concert, jump on that opportunity.

text: This is a spellbinding recording, hypnotically sensual, robustly imaginative, with lyrics that are at once deep, ruminative, funny,moving and universally resonating. The lead singer's voice is a beautiful synergy of gravel and silk, and the band-members play with such seamless empathy, it's as if they were spawned from the same musical womb. Looking forward to their next and next.


title: Chicken Shack's greatest album

text: I haven't heard every Chicken Shack lp yet, but most of them, as they are a blues band I particularly enjoy and Stan Webb a musician I greatly admire. Of these many releases, "Plucking Good" is easily my favorite - or, at least, the album I reach for most often. Everything works on this disc, it's pure Chicken Shack all the way.<br />Highly recommended purchase for blues fans.


title: Olivia's last major album

text:
Olivia Newton-John has had a wildly successful career, and has never ceased recording, but 1985's "Soul Kiss" would be the
final album that even a minority of people have been aware of (in the US at least) - and is almost completely forgotten today.
Where this one is remembered, it's often criticized for being mired in the worst kind of production from the era. While this is often true, the flat John Farrar production does work well on some tracks. Another complaint is the overly sexual nature of many "Soul Kiss" songs, from the title track's ode to oral pleasure to 'Culture Shock', a charged demand for a ménage à trois. If that's an issue, then you'll never get the fun and obvious charms of the record, and there's really only one excellent track not about sex per se, 'The Right Moment'. It's one of Olivia's finest '80's songs, but it's probably not worth the price of the cd alone.

Music buyers at the time ignored this album and that was pretty much the end of her hit-making years. I don't believe "Soul Kiss" (the music or her sexy image) had anything to do with this decline, it was just that her chart days were naturally over - few artists held chart dominance as long as Olivia Newton-John, and as she said in 1982, "I can't keep having hits forever".
My feeling is, "Soul Kiss" is an all right album, perhaps a tad weaker than "Physical", nothing more or less than that; it has it's peaks and valleys, in general neither being exceptionally high or dreadfully low (although the artwork is great). Olivia's voice is fine as always, nothing unusual in that department either.

Recommended for Olivia fanatics or those seriously into mid '80's pop-disco.


title: "Shut Your Mouth"

text: This is a cd reissue of the final Them album, "Shut Your Mouth". This was a studio effort, with Them leader Alan Henderson recruiting a lineup largely comprised of members from the Van Morrison era (although Morrison wasn't involved, and Them has a new vocalist). It's a great album, needless to say. But nothing on the album is live, this was not a concert. The only plausible reason for the title "Reunion Concert" is that "Shut Your Mouth" was recorded primarily to promote on the 1979 German tour of the band - which would be the final time Them ever toured. To make matters more confusing, nowhere on the actual cd or packaging is "Reunion Concert" printed - this is "Shut Your Mouth" in a digipack.


title: Classic Byrds

text: Released at the end of 1971 and greeted with critical derision and poor sales, "Farther Along" would be the final all-new Byrds album (unless you count the boring 1973 reunion lp of the original lineup which  most people tend to overlook). But it was a wonderful way to go out; this  is, in my opinion, easily the greatest Byrds album, with not one dud track.  The lineup is the McGuinn-Skip Battin-Gene Parsons-Clarence White  powerhouse, and each contribute excellent new songs while turning covers  into their own. The great tracks-'Bugler', 'Antique Sandy', 'America's  Great National Pastime', 'Get Down Your Line' and  'Tiffany Queen' are all-  time Byrds classics, and have generally received little attention. The very  finest track, however, is 'Lazy Waters', one of the most beautiful country-  rock songs ever made,  period. This is one import cd that is more than  worth the steep price tag. I would recommend "Farther Along" very  highly.


title: Great Information!

title: Pleasant Sillyness

text: Slipback is a BBC radio play made during the 1986 Dr. Who hiatus.  I was glad to see it had been released on CD because I have been wondering what this story was like on the radio ever since I bought the novelisation 10 years ago. It was particularily delightful to hear Valentine Dyall's (The Black Guardians) voice as the repugnant disease ridden starship captain. I thought he had already passed away at the time Slipback was made so it was a great surprise to see he made one last contribution to Dr. Who before the end of his life. Beyond that... the story seems to try to emulate a lot of the qualities of Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy. The 'dumb blond' voice of the computer reminds me of Trillian when she was making announcements over the Heart of Gold's comm system. There's even a brief appearance of a depressed robot. Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant are their usual selves. Baker his typical loud self. At the end of one of the episodes he is told that everybody including himself will die and he exclaims 'NOOOOOOOO!!!' right as the Dr. Who theme music rolls. This CD is cute, but I suggest it only for die hard Dr. Who fans like myself.


title: Superb!

First off, yes you can learn the Japanese hirigana and katakana by choosing Japanese on the blackbelt CD. These CDs really do give the basic vocabulary to master, and guide you threw it to really get the whole language thing down.

Multiple concepts are introduced multiple times and by the time you finish you will have mastered basic Chinese conversation and vocabulary, plus have a reading level to begin reading basic Chinese newspapars.

This really is an amazing course. I recomend it in combonation with the "Read Chinese" serise.


title: Great for Political / History Buffs

text:
I went to this movie not knowing what to expect. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The film does a great job of capturing the incredible drama that played out within the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis. What emerges is a glimpse of what happens to many Presidents, and for that matter CEOs: Often they are at the mercy of the information provided to them by their staff.
Kennedy's military advisors are head strong to use force and various random acts (a nuclear test, a U2 flying over Siberia, etc) complicate Kennedy's ability to design a solution. What emerges is how crucial communication is for diplomacy and how close we came to a military conflict because of a lack of communication. Foreign Policy and Diplomacy is an art as much as it is a science and often that requires managing the events around the issue you're negotiating.
This is a great film for anyone interested in foreign policy, history, or just the drama and intrigue of the decisions behind the President.


title: Bye Bye Love

text:
Must have been confusing to be Arthur Lee in 1967.

On the one hand, his band, Love, had ruled the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles for some time.  It was also a leading act on Elektra Records and had given it "Seven and Seven Is", a hit single the previous year.  The age was, or seemed, wide open, what with people expressing themselves artistically and politically in new ways, and Arthur Lee (like his friend Jimi Hendrix) was well on his way to beating white psychedelic rock at its own game.

On the other hand, there was something in Lee's makeup that made him reluctant to tour behind his hit - the Doors, his label mates and main competitors on the Strip, were about to catch up to him and pass him right by.  Drugs and other forms of aggravation were ripping his band apart, so that he had to hire session musicians to provoke them into showing up for studio work, and those same indulgences were beginning to rip him apart, too.  Not to mention the dissolution of the civil rights and antiwar movements into violence and petty jealousies.  So Arthur Lee looked out over the city from his place in the Hollywood Hills and wrote "Sitting on the hillside / Watching all the people die".

Everybody knows that suffering can sometimes produce great art, and "Forever Changes" is a good example of the type.  All through it, Lee strikes out at his demons, both internal and external - the line mentioned above in which he kills off the whole damn town is only the most extreme example.  Even his celebration of summer pleasures comes at one remove - it's called "The Good Humor Man He Sees Everything Like This".  The Good Humor man, mind you, not Arthur Lee.  Clearly, this writer saw things through a much darker filter - he even concluded that cut by editing his tape so that it sounds like the record has a skip in it.

Most of the people he sings about here are phonies at best, himself included.  The Side One closer, "The Red Telephone", has him reflecting on his life and asking to be painted white as a result, a pretty outrageous thing for any black man to say at any time but especially in 1967, and the same song fades out with a voice that would have made Stepin Fetchit cringe, announcing that "All 'a God's chilluns gotta have dey freedom!"  So much for the brotherhood of man.

A few things rescue the album from complete despair.  Lee's songwriting foil, Bryan MacLean, contributed a few relatively hopeful numbers to the set list, most especially "Old Man", a love song in which the singer's success with the object of his affections comes from following the advice of an experienced philosopher type.  Also a surprising sentiment to come out of the youth movement of the 60s, at which time no rocker had any business trusting anyone over 30.  In later years, MacLean voiced some complaints about this album and about Lee's behavior, particularly his mix of Maclean's "Along Again Or" - it buries the lead vocal so deep in the mix you can only hear Lee's harmony.  Nevertheless, however aggravated he was, his numbers add some critical balance to the experience of "Forever Changes".

The music, too, offsets the bitterness of Lee's lyrics.  A lot of the cuts include really tasty string and brass charts, and even those without the orchestration tend to charge through some terrifically energetic rock beats, with twelve-string acoustic guitar strumming, spacious echoes, and a great big rhythm section.  Among other things, as has been pointed out before, the instrumentation on "Forever Changes" paints a pretty extensive musical picture of Los Angeles, from basic punk raunch all the way to mariachi filigree.  Genuine despair, I am told, strips away your energy.  This music does the opposite.

Lee somehow managed to keep his sense of humor pretty much intact throughout his troubled explorations.  A lot of what I've already mentioned seems pretty bitter, all right, but Lee made at least some of these details so grotesque that you have to go through the bitterness and come out laughing.  The Kingfish dialect is spooky but hilarious, the bad editing can just as easily make you giggle as anything else, and although Lee covers murderous violence on a cut like "Live and Let Live," he's got enough wit left to start it off with the observation that the snot he just wiped on his jeans has crystallized.  A little gross, to be sure, but remember, this was 1968.  A lot of other things were pretty gross back then, too.

Finally, even considering the rage in Lee's lyrics and vocals, there's something very moving about listening to a man struggle with his crumbling world, refuse to roll over and play dead.  With all this madness all over the record, he finishes up by telling us "This is the time and this is the time and it is time!  Time!  Time!  TIME!"  And fades out.  Not exactly a sunshine-and-daffodils claim, but hopeful in its own way.  About the best you can expect after this journey through extremes of rage and disappointment, and a pretty good approach to the future under any circumstances.

"Forever Changes" usually finds a place on any rock music Best Of list, and certainly deserves it, not only because it's a great piece of work, but because it demonstrates very clearly something that Pete Townshend of the Who once said.  Rock music, he claimed, helps you face your problems, and at the same time sort of dance all over them.  "Forever Changes" isn't exactly dance music, but it's more than good enough to listen to in hard times and a heck of a way for Love's classic lineup to say goodbye.
