title: Super Sixties, Great Stars

text: I had the Super Sixties on cassette, it has always been one of my favorites as there are some songs not normally found in other venues.  By chance I checked Amazon and found it and one other collection had been put on CD through Readers Digest, I was delighted when I got the two collections as they sound much better that the original tapes.

text: Comparing the voice to Janis Joplin.  Am pleased with the purchase of this CD


title: His Best Ever

text: This is the best album he ever made! Everything on it is memorable,thanks Toots!


title: Great album for the Pearl Jam diehard

text: This is a must for the Pearl Jam fan... a live, acoustic bootleg from Japan.  It doesn't quite have the hype of an electric show, but that's the key to this record.  It's a slower record, but you can still feel yourself there with the fans, see the lower glowing lights, see Eddie with the acoustic guitar, the guys playing Man Of The Hour or one of the other songs.  They're not all slow though.. there are unplugged versions of Lukin, covers of The Ramones I Believe In Miracles, Bob Dylan's Masters of War, and Johnny Cash's 25 Minutes to Go.  It is a slower album, an unplugged album., but a very good album nonetheless.  Definitely an album for the real fans of Pearl Jam, and definitely for this fan of PJ since the beginning in 91.


title: Just..wonderful

text: Omg!!  I am a baby boomer and When I was first introduced to Danny..I was 14 years old and I fell in love with the song...White on White..I bought the record and played it until I wore it out...So glad the CD is available...I highly praise this album...Thank You!!  Sandy

title: Ormandy's take on Metamorphosen inspired me to write this review

text:
I hadn't heard Metamorphosen in a while. For some reason or another I had the urge to hear it recently and I wanted to sidestep my preferred versions and listen to someone new that I hadn't heard before in this music. Reaching back in time, I stumbled upon Eugene Ormandy and his phenomenal Philadelphia Orchestra. Knowing full well the quality of the Philadelphia string section, it was an intelligent choice. I was surprised at the performance itself though.

Ormandy has a reputation as a fairly glib, surface level conductor. He has a tendency to skate comfortably over the icy sheen of a masterpiece instead of getting to work on cracking the ice and plumbing the depths for the limitless treasures great music harbors below. I expected as much when his Metamorphosen opens so amicably. The string playing is as good as anything out there, truly magical and seemingly effortless. The inner voices are heard much more clearly than with Karajan for instance who loves to double up the instruments and blend textures into a singular voice.

There is some actual magic here. Unlike some underwhelming Metamorphosens from Blomstedt and Dohnanyi to name just two, Ormandy kept my attention. I wanted to hear how beautiful each upcoming section of the piece would sound. But in the back of my mind I know this is Metamorphosen, the most tragic piece of music Strauss ever composed. Full of yearning, melancholy and potential hope that is ultimately crushed in death, destruction and despair. Ormandy is going to turn up the temperature at some point, right? That was my wonder... when are things going to heat up?

Every other lukewarm performance that has passed through my ears had moments of intensity. But not Ormandy! He literally coasts through the piece for 27 minutes as if it was easy listening. There was barely a whiff of melancholy, let alone grief and regret. I've never heard a performance like this. In that sense, it is unique and worthy of a listen.

I'm not being sarcastic when I say this is the perfect Metamorphosen to hear if you like the music but don't want to invest any of your emotions in it. You just want to listen to the inner voices and be warmly embraced by the lush textures. The performance is not cold or robotic, it is simply easy. Even during the most searing and powerful moments, it  is as easy as a summer breeze, perfect for background listening or while reading, writing or daydreaming.

Once again, I repeat. I am not attacking Ormandy here. This is a genuine interpretive choice and stands apart from any other Metamorphosen I've encountered. If you want searing intensity, Furtwangler is the right choice [[ASIN:B00005QC5P Furtwangler Conducts Strauss: Symphonia Domestica (1944) & Metamorphosen (1947)]] and a close runner up for me is the digital Karajan version [[ASIN:B00000E2OB Strauss: Metamorphosen (Métamorphoses); Tod und Verklärung (Death and Transfiguration)]]

Those phenomenal performances convey a devastating world of grief, melancholy, aching heartbreak and sometimes unbearable bleakness. But we don't necessarily want to hear that always, do we? So I avoid Metamorphosen because it can be too draining when expressed with such commitment. That's why Ormandy's performance serves a very real purpose. One can listen to the beauty of Strauss as a pleasant experience and not have to go through an emotional wash cycle. In that regard, Ormandy gets a recommendation of sorts.

I won't go into detail about the coupled Ein Heldenlebn. Ormandy did a fairly bang up job in this piece throughout his career. Ein Heldenleben is a real showpiece for orchestra and invites grandstanding. Ormandy always did well to put on a show. Check out his Sony Columbia recording for his best, most propulsive version.


title: Deeply felt... this is for connoisseurs only

text:
Having long ago settled my opinions on the Eroica symphony and it's interpretation, I approached Knappertsbusch's Bremen performance with trepidation. Just looking at the timings of the movements already sets Kna into the category of obnoxiously slow when compared with today's standards. Even by the standards of that period, ( this Eroica hails from 1951 ), it's still pretty slow. Compare it with Kna's own wartime performance and hear the difference. The wartime Eroica is almost 10 minutes faster than the Bremen!

I want to make my viewpoint clear from the start. I prefer a fast, intense Eroica that crashes and bangs, a shock and awe campaign across the massive first movement. I can take or leave the first movement repeat, in fact I prefer it without the repeat, so Kna is in the clear with me on that point. The funeral march I like slow and intense but not turgid! I like the concluding moments to be ethereal, as if visiting your own grave at the cemetery during the night. The scherzo should be a total contrast, fast and fleet with explosive horns in the trio section. The finale is the movement where I can take the most tempo fluctuation as it's a stop and go affair, theme and variations. Play the fast sections in hyper mode, play the slow sections with the utmost emotion. The coda should blast out of the speakers.

My own list of favorite Eroicas... any of the Karajan versions, especially the Gold CD from the 1980s. Bernstein NYPO, Szell, Furtwangler wartime, Klemperer EMI stereo, Harnoncourt ECO. Can Kna at Bremen compete with those guys? Can he compete with himself? Let's get that out of the way first. This is the best Eroica by Knappertsbusch. It is not the best played by far, that would go the Berlin wartime performance. But for feeling, for depth, for majesty and power, the Bremen Kna triumphs over the far more conventional Berlin account. In fact, this is a good indicator of whether this Eroica will appeal to you. If you like conventional interpretation of major repertoire, this is absolutely the wrong Eroica for you. I wouldn't even recommend this performance to anyone who wasn't already very familiar with the music. This CD will find favor with those who have heard dozens of Eroicas over the years and want something individualistic. In that sense, Kna delivers the goods.

The competition for the "great slow Eroica" really comes down to a few candidates -- Knappertsbusch, Furtwangler, Klemperer, Barbirolli, Horenstein and Giulini. Since my sentiments flow toward a fast and intense Eroica, none of these conductors fully satisfy my desire for that elusive "perfect" opus 55. But I can appreciate them on their own terms. The best played of the slow Eroicas is the Klemperer. The Philharmonia was a superb orchestra at the time and Kna's Bremen Philharmonic cannot hope to compete. In fact, this is the biggest downfall with Kna in Bremen. This is a second rate orchestra and it's blatantly evident. The strings can be very raw... some might say it adds an edge to the proceedings but at the same time it can sound like saws scraping against metal. The woodwinds squeal unattractively. The brass are actually good enough and the timpanist is outstanding, fully in the aural picture with devastating blows. If you can deal with the orchestra, you'll be ok. They are no Berlin Phil, but they are playing with magnificent emotional commitment. If you've heard the super fast Hermann Scherchen Eroica, let me tell you that Kna's Bremen forces are far superior to Scherchen's Vienna State Opera Orchestra. The Scherchen and this Kna are like the two biggest contrasts you'll ever hear in this music!

Moving on to the sound quality... it's very good mono, forward in the acoustic with more impact than Furtwangler. I put on Furtwangler's wartime account right after the Kna Bremen and instantly noticed how much cooler the emotional atmosphere was with Furtwangler. Therein lies the greatness of this Bremen Eroica, it has a very deep reservoir of feeling that I haven't heard in the other "slow poke" Eroicas. The Giulini LAPO and BPO versions are especially destroyed. I wrote a negative review of the Giulini LAPO version and went to say that it's completely wrong. Well, it's not the super slow tempos that are wrong with Giulini, it's his very smooth, room temperature approach. Knappertsbusch on the other hand reaches feverish boiling points in the development of the first movement, the whole of the funeral march. One of the finest interpretations of the funeral march I've heard, grave and sorrowful. With the final moments matching, perhaps eclipsing Furtwangler. If you can forgive Kna's orchestra, then this is greatness. If not, then Herbert von Karajan is your man.

The second half of the symphony is where Kna begins to falter somewhat in my estimation. The scherzo is lead footed through and through. Well, you can claim that the whole symphony under Kna is lead footed but I wouldn't agree with that -- the first movement is leagues away from allegro con brio but it's not lead boots by any measure. The accents are super sharp, the timpani ever present. The tempo for the funeral music is wholly appropriate. But the scherzo, no thanks. This is wrong at 7 minutes in duration. I was getting a bit drowsy after the funeral march and the scherzo was certainly not doing the job of keeping my attention.

Onto the finale then... too slow for my blood. Seems to stumble along far too much without catching the adrenaline that I hear in the best Eroicas. Kna's vision of the finale is vindicated in the majestic play of the main theme in the variations spanning from the 9 minute mark to the 12th minute. I do have to admit that although the finale is ridiculously slow in places, the coda is simply a rocket! It's as if Kna has been saving this wave of energy the whole time and finally, at long last, brings the tempo up to speed with the fast conductors! And to add -- the orchestra plays impeccably in the coda.

So overall -- I found Kna in Bremen had more emotional depth than Furtwangler in wartime or Klemperer on EMI or Giulini on DG. If the prospective listener can get past the fact that the Bremen orchestra is no match for Furtwangler's BPO or Klemperer's Philharmonia, then this Eroica can be regarded as something special. It will not supersede my preference for fast speeds but as an alternative approach, I can give it my full recommendation. Not for newcomers certainly -- but for the connoisseur who is bored to death with 21st century international performances of Beethoven symphonies. Bring it back to 1951 Germany and feel the difference!


title: Vivid, Intense, Frightening, Harrowing, At Times Awe-Inspiring. A Diamond in the Rough!

text:
Karajan always did a great 5th, even from his earliest days, he led a commanding vision of this singular masterpiece. I've always been fond of his ideas about this music and his 1963 5th has been my favorite version since I heard it. To my ears, it's much better than Carlos Kleiber, who is only competitive in the first movement. I also prefer Karajan 63 over Furtwangler's wartime performance as great as that one was with it's insane transition into the finale. But I don't care for Furtwangler's slow going approach in the first movement. Karajan always seems right.

This time live in Moscow, Karajan goes beyond even his usual high standards and I think this is his finest version of this symphony. The 1963 5th is still competitive and so is Karajan's fantastic black and white film directed by Henri Georges Clouzot [[ASIN:B000GQL8NQ Herbert von Karajan in Rehearsal and Performance]] but live in Moscow takes it to another level.

How so? The other reviewers have fawned over it but why is it on a higher place than the rest? I will specify the differences. A tried and true literalist, Karajan set his interpretations in stone and barely ever modified even the slightest details. So don't expect Karajan to suddenly surprise you in his approach. It's the same 5th you've known by him but if you've never warmed to Karajan's Beethoven, this CD might win you over.

First thing you'll notice is the presence of the lower instruments. The lower strings have vividness that the DG records bypass in favor of the violins. You will feel the impact of the brass and the timpani like never before in my listening experience. It was shocking, like I was listening to Furtwangler but with even more power and in stereo sound! The opulence of the orchestra is still as evident yet now coupled with a rare type of energy and animal violence that Carlos Kleiber, Fritz Reiner or any other great conductor of the 5th simply do not possess.

The first movement is just as great as any, with the added fury from the drums that puts it over the top. The andante con moto is wonderfully felt with the climaxes full of impact. In the scherzo, things get heated up even further, once the transition to the finale comes along, you know this is something unique. Karajan takes the Berlin Philharmonic from a whisper to a thermonuclear explosion in mere seconds! Devastating, crushing power. I've never heard an orchestra play with such majestic triumph. They save the best for last because the final movement is the finest I have ever heard! The climax of the development section is obscenely arrogant and forceful, representing total victory. Throughout the finale the trombones are ferocious and the timpanist is having a field day. This is what this great orchestra sounded like in concert under Karajan, away from his various sound manipulations in the studio for DG where the violins were over bright.

The coda of the last movement immediately brought to mind Thor or Zeus, positively myth making music. Some might say, are Karajan and the orchestra just showing off, strutting their stuff? No, it doesn't sound that way at all. It sounds like an absolutely natural event, like a supernova captured in a recording. You sense like they are having the time of their lives playing this music and Beethoven's 5th can take this kind of force with no problems. I am very convinced that this is Karajan's finest 5th, which for me makes it the finest of all 5ths, including the great Furtwangler. It made me feel this powerful music anew. The orchestra stressed it's majesty to the breaking point. The Russian crowd goes nuts with bravos and applause as the symphony ends in euphoria. It really feels like you're eavesdropping on a once in lifetime concert.

The Coriolan Overture is also fantastic, with a visceral punch that all other Karajan versions of the work must bow to. It does feel like shotgun shells going off. Just great. Still, I wouldn't put this Coriolan over the Furtwangler from 1943, which is even scarier in it's intensity. I don't know how Furtwangler could get such a menacing sound out of an orchestra. So Karajan gets second place in the Coriolan, which isn't a big loss by any measure, it is a great Coriolan.

Now to the Pastoral. I've warmed up to Karajan's take on the Pastoral to a degree. I like the 63 performance above his others. The arrival in the countryside has always been frosty under his baton and it is no different here. I just don't feel involved or persuaded by the second movement either. It's not until we reach the scherzo that I start to get more into it. Karajan skips the crucial repeat as usual. ( He did take it in the 70s cycle. ) The thunderstorm rages like few ever have and the hymn of thanksgiving finale runs along naturally. I still like the 63 version more. I've always thought Karajan did the storm and finale better than almost anyone but his first three movements suffer from aloofness in the arrival and the scene by brook, and also the skipping of the scherzo repeat.

You're not going to be buying this CD for the Pastoral obviously. What you'll be getting is possibly the greatest performance of the most famous symphony in existence. Macho, herculean, extravagant in it's power. Beethoven deserves nothing less than this and since we are not going to hear anything like this in our current historically informed dominated performance climate, take a peek into history to understand the true potential of this immortal music. You also get one of the greatest Coriolans ever, so don't miss out!


title: Claudio Arrau is always individualistic and often times mesmerizing

text:
Apparently this CD is rare because somebody on the amazon marketplace is asking insane prices for it. I bought my copy of this recording at a used music store for a mere $9 a month ago! So take that, you overpriced amazon sellers!

Arrau has been dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven for his entire professional life. He has recorded several versions of the piano concertos and two complete cycles of the Beethoven sonatas. His sonata cycle from the 1960's has achieved classic status but his digital cycle is at times neglected. There's no new interpretative ideas in the digital cycle from the 1980's but it's still magnificent Beethoven performances with mostly exceptional digital sound quality. This CD stems from the digital cycle that I'm discussing and showcases Arrau's unique magnetism.

Arrau is one of the most serious pianists to ever have recorded. Sometimes this is detrimental to the music if the score requires humor, irony or light-heartedness, but when music is as profound as late Beethoven, then a serious approach works wonders.

First item on this disc is the famous Waldstein sonata, a great middle period work. Arrau's earlier version was perhaps too nuanced and expansive. It lacked a lot of energy and yet somehow worked. This digital version is slightly more streamlined, less idiosyncratic but retains the magic of the old recording. The speeds are still much slower than competitive Beethoven pianists and therefore the performance lacks spontaneity, which might be a frequent criticism of Arrau's style.

Then we get the Andante Favori. This piece Beethoven originally composed as the slow movement of the Waldstein sonata. Most pianists get through this beautiful work in 10 minutes. Arrau expands it to 11:44 but his playing is masterly and you are fully absorbed in the music.

The final selection on this program is one of the great late sonatas, opus 109. Arrau does well with the initial movements however it's the heavenly slow movement in variation form that is the highlight. Listening to this finale will let you know if you are sympathetic to Arrau's Beethoven style or not. This piece usually takes 13 minutes or so but Arrau's heavenly tempo stretches it to 16:39, the longest I've encountered. The earlier analogue performance from the 60's was just as long. There is some rare beauty to be heard here through the hands of this pianist and while Pollini, Richter, Gilels, Kovacevich bring their own understanding, none are as individualistic as Arrau. His gloriously full tone is aided by a sonorous piano in beautiful digital sound captured by Philips. If you can find this CD for a decent price, it'll be a worthwhile addition to a collection of Beethoven's piano music.


title: Brendel can do poetry... he has a hard time with heroism

text:
There is some wonderful Beethoven playing to be heard in this set. In matters of light and shade, expansive tempos and luminious piano poetics, Brendel has got what it takes. His best performances here are clearly the Pastoral, the Tempest and perhaps the Les Adieux. The Pastoral especially requires patience and imagination which Brendel delivers. The famous Tempest finale is not rushed, but handled warmly and most beautifully. Brendel's Waldstein Sonata is not among the best but it's adequate.

But when it's time to really take the gloves off and dig into the full breadth of Beethoven's heroic, passionate thunderer mode, Brendel is not up to standard. The Pathetique Sonata was revolutionary when it was composed. It's not that long, it's not that new structurally but there is the lifeblood of the coming Romantic movement in this music. The opening movement under Brendel does not summon up the necessary might this music is forged from. Listen to Richter and hear it soar.

The Moonlight Sonata's opening Adagio Sostenuto is very famous and Brendel has what it takes but what about the finale? After the perfect foil of the tiny second movement, we hear the great counterpart to the opening adagio... the psychotic presto. Brendel is just not prepared, doesn't have the skills to make one feel this manic piece. It needs much more speed and a devil may care attitude. This is too careful. I've heard Gilels and others surpass Brendel very easily.

But the Appassionata is the biggest disappointing. I tried listening to Brendel's rendition multiple times and have found that it lacks everything this sonata is all about. This is one of the most wicked piano works ever composed. It is about a passion so deep, it should obliterate all who know it. A pianist who takes on this beast should possess a fire-breathing technique and no fear of dark grandeur. Listen to Gilels' giant interpretation on DG or Richter's versions on RCA and Melodiya. After those experiences, try coming back to Brendel! I don't doubt you'll be as annoyed and bored as I was.


title: Sold as new - But no packaging

text: I purchased a new version, in theory, but when it arrived there was no packaging/wrapping on the CD at all.

This card+CD were an excellent personalized gift for one of my relatives.
Item arrived in time and in perfectly new condition. The CD on the back of the card is a very nice addition.
I highly recommend it to anyone born in 1972!


title: Great LP

text: I was pleased with this purchase won't change anything.


title: Good Album

text: I received the LP promptly and I use a high fidelity turntable this album was sounded better then the CD. The vendor sold an album which was better then mint condition impressive.


title: Excellent LP

text: When I received the  album I played it on my turntable to relatively no imperfections this purchased exceed my expectation in spades.


title: Beautiful photos from online concert, but. . . .

text: The book/brochure offers a happy memory for an online concert, but be careful whom you buy from.  This product comes with photo cards and a cd, but some sellers do not include the cd, despite advertising that they do.  So if you want the entire package: brochure, cd, photo cards, please question the seller carefully before you purchase.


Everything that Kim Bum does deserves five stars.  The album is misnamed.  It should be "Hometown."  Other than that, it is a soft, sweetly sung melodic short set of songs.  The dvd accompanying it does not have much action, just Kim Bum strolling through what may be his hometown--maybe not.  Either way, the music is pleasant to listen to and the dvd allows the viewer to enjoy his good looks.


title: One of Tim Janis' biggest fans!

text: Love this CD and his beautiful, relaxing music!


title: Tough to find cd

text: Condition of this used cd is just as advertised.  My only feeling is that since it was shipped from Japan, it took about a month to get here. In this day and age, you'd think it would get here sooner.


title: Jazz Interpretations of my Favorite Band !

text: Very simply put, this cd contains excellent interpretations of some excellent music by some highly competent jazz  musicians. Search for it on You Tube before you buy to get a true idea of what it sounds like, but this fit the role of Sunday morning relaxing music perfectly. I highly recommend it !


title: Surprise !

text: My Jiggle The Handle cd arrived early by  about two weeks, which was a pleasant surprise. The cd itself was in great shape and contained all the music and liner notes . (I mention this because the previous one  was not complete; rather it was a cd copy with only four of the eleven tracks.) However, the case arrived broken and relatively shattered<br />and it was a special, three-dimensional effect so that part was ruined. But at least I received the music. My thanks for that.

text: One of my favorite bands from Chicago who received only a smattering of recognition. The box set is GREAT. Sound quality is a huge improvement over the early Warner Brothers two-disk comp and it was delivered very quickly. This is far more than a One-Hit Wonder band. I can't recommend this piece highly enough. Buy it now !

text: Nice artwork, but I saw no indication that this was a single only and not the complete album. I would not have purchased this item if I realized it was a single only.


title: Group Therapy

text:
This is a great album made up of two lps from the late 60s. They do a fine job of showing the psych music era clearly, and offer a great and enjoyable learning/listening experience from this era. I highly recommend the music and the vendor as well. He delivered the cd in no time flat.

title: Music is incredible.  **BUT** disc is also distributed as "eventide", don't buy two like I did.

text: I'm attempting to build a complete "Voces 8" collection.  Discovered this disc, "Nightscapes" on Amazon.uk and that it wasn't in my  collection to date.  I ordered it.  It arrived today and when I checked the track listing I discovered that it's EXACTLY the same as the disc "eventide".


title: Definitely Legit!

text: Perfect!! Came undamaged and with an authorized seal :) Would buy again.


title: Real Old Time Gospel Singing.......

text: Real old time gospel favorites sung by a legendary country singer. Just the way I remember them as a kid!  I'm satisfied and have and will continue to listen and enjoy these wonderful old hymns!


title: For lovers or followers of Oral Roberts ministries.

text: This album will be of great sentimental value to people like myself who grew up with the Oral Roberts Ministries. My grandma was an ardent follower and she took advantage of everything on offer from ORM books, magazines, music you name we got it. Listening to this album takes me back to days of my childhood, when life was slow and everything seemed so perfect, you won't jump for joy listening to this music, but if you can identify with Oral Roberts Ministries it is worth having for sentimental reasons !

title: 8-Bit Awesomeness

text: Great CD!  If you love classic 8-bit video games, this is the CD for you!  My personal favorite track is the eerily relaxing Metroid, but the CD then restarts back to Castlevania which throws some energy back into you.  Listening to the CD for the first time hits you with a blast of nostalgia, flooding you with memories of the first time you played the games.  If you have a classic gamer in your life, this makes an incredible gift.  Buy it!  Do it NOW!!!


This has got to be one of the BEST makeup/makeout albums of all time!  For the life of me I can't figure out why it's only available on tape.

Hanatan has a very strong falsetto and this album demonstrates just that.

Very good album; the album art is very pretty and nice.


title: That elephant though

text:
This is actually one of my favorite Kokia albums.
Kokia has a really soothing voice, and I feel like this album is the epitome of that soothing style that Kokia utilizes so well.
It's worth the buy, no questions asked. Man I love that elephant.


title: Great gift

text: So cute my niece really enjoyed this birthday gift.......love how many times her name was said


title: Not at all what I expected

text:
I'm a fan of slow, mellow love songs, i.e. the Tony Bennett Duets 2 album is the best. I was expecting the same kind of
material from the Body and Soul duets and was clearly disappointed by the style contained in this cd. It was a loud, screaming
bunch of noise to my ear, painful to listen to, just not at all to my liking.

title: A fine  perfomance - 31/2 half stars

text:
I enjoyed  this performance - Szeryng's  first  studio  effort - with the LSO  conducted  by  Schumidt- Isserstedt and would have  given it a 4 1/2 for performance  but  only a 3 for the recording.  Its  hard  to say why one  prefers a  performance over another,  as  the answer must lie  beyond  its  quantifiable  parts....but  to me  Szeryng's effort  just  seemed " right"  at its moderate  but never cloyingly slow  speed.  That  said, I remain loyal  to  the Milstein- Steinberg (mono) recording of  the mid  50's  and enjoy many  others  as well.

  As for the  sound  of this  recording the good news is that the Japanese  pressing  provides a  convincingly realistic  depiction of violin sound , to include  its  upper register overtones.  Very pleasing.  Also , the contributions  of select  instruments  (e.g.  grouped  horns) is also believable.  But  the LSO's overall orchestral sound  in this 1965 DECCA recording is marred  by what to my ears  is an over-reverberant sound stage  which clouds  orchestra  textures  in  tutti passages at levels of forte or above, thus  rendering a kind of  sonic  mush
 from  what  appears to be from a 48Khz - 16 bit intermaster.  It would be interesting  to compare  this  with the recently released (by Tower Records  Japan) SACD , presumably from the original  master  tapes..which would probably correct  many of these issues , thus revealing a truly fine  performance in superlative sound.  But until then..... one can still enjoy this compromised  version.


title: A fine set  that could have been finer

text:
I agree with the gentleman's review about this being a very fine set of mostly live performances which for those  who enjoy Pierre Monteux's (PM) sensitive and bracing way with Beethoven should purchase it now before all copies  are gone, especially at Amazon's reasonable  prices.  That said, I've a few additional observations about things that would have made  the set even more valuable to collectors.
-  The great selling point of this set to me  is that it includes  live Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) Tangelwood performances (1959-60) of five symphonies (2,3,5,6, and 9) which were recorded professionally in stereo for broadcast.  The sound is both full and  spacious and to me is very satisfying.  Symphony #7 was also  a live broadcast  performance by the  NBC Symphony Orchestra in 1952, when it was still Toscanini's "instrument".  The remaining 3 performances include  two studio efforts (#1 and #4 ) and a live 1958 mono broadcast of #8 by the LA Philharmonic in the Hollywood bowl.
-  Two of  these choices could easily have been bettered , as there also exists  a live 1963 BSO stereo broadcast of the 4th symphony (from BSO Hall) which to my ears  sounded every bit as good as the other 5 Tanglewood  broadcasts.  Nothing against the NDR Sinfonieorchestra Hamburg  except that it is certainly not the BSO, which then was one of the top symphonic ensembles in the world.  And the quality of an  orchestra..like the quality of a concert  grand  or  violin - make a difference. The strange thing is that Memories Relevance producers have released  this broadcast of the 4th symphony on another of its  CDs.  Why  they didn't switch the two performances I've mentioned is a mystery.
-Several alternate performances of symphony 8, studio and  live - exist  but my favorite is a 1962 mono broadcast in decent sound of PM with the Concertgebouw Orchestra - another world class ensemble and  its world-class orchestral hall. As for symphony #1  I am aware only of this 1960 studio (RCA/London/DECCA) recording with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra..which is widely available .  A shame  that no live Monteux performance of this delightful symphony has surfaced.
- Two final things.  The same  PM- BSO Symphony #2 of the Memories set was released 2 or 3 years ago in a superior remastering by the Pristine label  as part of a 4 disc cross section  of  other PM stereo broadcasts from  Tanglewood . To my ears it is fuller, more spacious and with finer inner detail than  the decent audio quality of this symphony on the Memories set.
-  Last and perhaps  least  is that the listed order of the performances on disc 4 of the Memories set is not accurate.  Instead of the listed Fidelio Overture followed  by Symphonies 5 and 6 the order on my CD has  symphony 6  before  #5, a small matter  but annoying all the same.


title: best possible  sound  at a hefty price

text: I have always enjoyed  Previn's way  with the Tchaikovsky ballets.  This  Japanese  SACD pressing  is now out of print  and  is only available used and at a very premium  price.  Although the virtues  of SACD (solidified  base..clearer  instrumental  timbres  and  a realistic  sense  of space)  are all there.......  for  a fraction  of this  price  you can  now get very good sounding  remastered  copies  of  all three of Previn's Tchaikovsky ballet recordings  under  the Warner  label (which now controls  the  EMI  (and other)  catalog(s).


title: Great performance with Average Sonics

text:
The two stars are not for the performance, which is solidly majestic and no doubt well-known to Klemperer's many admirers.  The two stars are for the sonics, which despite the claim to be "SACD" were - at least in the copy I received - a conventional Japanese CD pressing which sounded very similar  and not superior to the  EMI Great Performances pressing of the late 90's.  I am told that a true SACD hybrid pressing with significantly improved sonics is now available, but advise interested buyers first contact the distributor to verify.  All SACDs have the SONY trademark for "SACD DSD" on both the CD label and its cover.

addendum:  I've just received and previewed the true SACD-hybrid DSD-transferred version of this performance.  It is a noticeable if not to my ears quite a dramatic improvement over all past CD pressings of this performance I've heard.  The improvements are most notable in an expanded sound "picture" of the chorus, along with more accurate timbers of the vocal artists and instrumental soloists (although more about below). It remains a dense sonic picture, however, with (again to my ears)  weak projection of bass lines (cello, double base, horn) and also for some reason the bass soloist, Martti Tavela, who almost always comes across as under-miked. The vocal soloists also seem to be placed back too far into the orchestral and choral fabric and so don't seem to project as in other recordings of this wonderful work.  Still, the SACD is likely to be the best this famous recording will ever sound..so if it shows up on Amazon..go for it.  If not. try CD-Japan.com.


title: Disturbed about the quality of sound

text:
I have always enjoyed this interpretation and have owned it in many guises,from its domestic and then German LP pressings and most recently as an EMI Great Recordings of the Century CD re-mastered in 2001.  In each case there remained a kind of "wooliness" to the sound picture which prevented me from appreciating the beauty of the solo voices  and chorus - which seemed hard and too deeply buried in the fabric of the sound picture - with the result that the New Philharmonia Chorus and Orchestra never seemed fully focused ..at least through my stereo and home entertainment systems.

Thus it was with some uneasiness  that I plunked down almost $50 for this Japanese SACD pressing, which has been around for awhile. I would have done so sooner but I kept hoping EMI would release it as one of its very inexpensive DSD SACD sets of Klemperer material (Mozart symphonies, etc.) which became available domestically in 2012.  In any event  now that I've previewed this SACD pressing my impression is that it may be slightly but not dramatically better than the 2001 CD.  The general sound picture is very similar to that of the earlier CD.  There may or may not be a greater sense of solidity to the image.  My guess is that recent re-mastering processes were not used to upgrade the master tape transfer from its 2001 incarnation so that it was still this 2001 tape that was transferred via SACD to the CD disc.  Solo voices remained slightly "hard" and were still somewhat lost in the orchestral sound picture.
Given this, the question then becomes one of  whether this slight possible improvement is worth the extra $$$$.  At best I'd call it a close call.

ADDENDUM:  I've just determined that this Japanese pressing is probably not a SACD at all, which would explain its very small sonic differences with my earlier "Great Recordings of the Century" CD that I'd used for comparisons.  MY CD/SACD/DVD/BluRay player has a screen feature in which each disc being played is identified by type (either "CDDA" for conventional CDs or "SACD PCM". When I checked this Japanese pressing it read  "CDDA Stereo 44.1K 16B" which is the same reading I get for my conventional American "Great Recordings of  the Century" CD.  Furthermore, nowhere is the Japanese disc identified as "SACD" = with SONY's SACD and DSD trademarks in English....Only that it is in "stereo".  I've contacted the distributor to call this to their attention and identified two possibilities 1) that they'd mistakenly sent me the wrong pressing, or 2) that they've mis-advertised the type of CD on Amazon...which would lead to more serious consequences.  I've not yet heard from them, and if I don't within the next few days I will contact Amazon to press this complaint for their action.


title: Fine performances, but

text: I am a big Pierre Monteux fan and have collected many recordings of his published and unpublished(mostly live) recordings. Among my favorite published performances are these two symphonies,Beethoven's Eroica and Schubert's Unfinished, with the Concertgebouw, which originally appreared as a CD in a  Phillips set in the 90's.  When I purchased these Japanese pressings I had hopes that the already fair sound of these two recordings would be noticably improved...like the recent Monteux VPO performance of the Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique....which was transformed in an admittedly SACD pressing on the Praga Digital Reminescence lable.  But alas, No. Perhaps this  pressing has a bit more transperency at softer (below p)sound levels  and maybe not...But in any event nothing dramatic.<br />  In conclusion, I'd not recommend purchasing this CD as an upgrade...but only for those who do not yet own these perceptive and well-played performances. Better to hold off and hope they appear one of these days as a Praga Digital SACXD remastering......

title: Finger at the ready?

text:
Well... here's a problem: an indispensable late 60's album that is regularly rated in industry polls as amongst the best of all time for good reasons, one of which is that the original record just flowed from start to finish. So, now we have an excellent digital re-mastering that enhances the original tracks by fully revealing their extraordinary intricacies - particularly the group's use of multiple acoustic guitars - but which also includes seven bonus tracks that range from the intriguing to the essential.
The problem?... well, a key feature of the original LP was its sequencing with side two building-up to the final ecstatic fade out on it's last cut - "You Set the Scene" - leaving the listener, quite deliberately, to reflect in the silence that followed. On this version there's not much time for reflection before being jarred back into reality by bonus tracks that weren't on the original because they weren't good enough, weren't recorded yet or didn't fit. And, while there's nothing wrong with "Laughing Stock" and the fabulous "Your Mind And We Belong Together" and, for Love fans, real interest in the other alternate mixes and unreleased workouts that have been added to this version, the truth is that they shouldn't be there! Subtle but important stuff when dealing with a carefully crafted masterpiece. The solution?... pretty simple really: program your CD player to stop after track 11, but it's a pain to remember and, for first time recruits, an unlikely event.
Here's an idea: with "classic" records that deserve this kind of meticulous re-mastering (and which have usually been elevated to such high status precisely because they worked so well as a unified whole) why not put the bonus tracks on a separate disk - the cost can't be that great and the benefits would be enormous. In the meantime have your programming finger at the ready to savour the full impact of this magnificent slice of musical genius.


title: Jade's 1st Symphony

text: "Bittersweet Symphony" is the first full length album from former Sweetbox lead singer Jade Valerie.  Jade is known for incorporating classical music into her dance/pop songs.  Also, I would have to agree with the previous reviewer's comments that the album is far better than "Out Of The Box", however "Out Of The Box" was essentially only an EP with 8 songs and possibly just an album to test the market as a solo artist.  Nevertheless, "Bittersweet Symphony" is a strong effort in my opinon.  The album for the most part is very upbeat and strong with the exception of songs such as "Empty Pages" and "Piece Of Love".  There were 3 songs on this album that I thought were the spotlight of the album.  "Like A Bird", Fast moving ballad with strong bass and subtle violins.  The song is mellow at the chorus but a strong verse leads into it.  "The Last", this song samples Christopher Cross's "Sailing", there was a song by Sweetbox that also sampled that song.  However, I like the incorporation of the song into this one as it has a very strong and singable chorus and the "Sailing" piece always brings me back.  Finally, the best track on the album in my opinion is "Undone", to some degree because it's an unexpectedly infectious dance song.  Strong Bass, Strong Vocals and then breaks into a synth dance rhythm.  The song bascially exemplifies what goes into a really great dance record.


title: Jade Valerie out of Sweetbox

text: This product is an EP + a DVD - Single of the song "Just Another Day".  If you don't know who Jade Valerie is, well, she was the lead singer of a dance/pop group called Sweetbox for the past few years.  She's far more popular overseas than she ever has been in the states.  Nevertheless, here is my take on this EP is that it is ok.  4 of the tracks are pretty bad, a couple of them sounded like Fergie songs.  However the song "Crush" is a pretty good uptempo dance track.  "Just Another Day" is a good pop ditty that's pretty much Jade's style.  "Mr. Pay Me" is a strong piano driven track and the song "You Don't Know Me" sounds like like it could be used in a Maxwell House commercial, but in this case, that's a good thing.  Jade put out a much better full album that you may want to check out called "Bittersweet Symphony".  [[ASIN:B0012PYGYI Bittersweet Symphony]]


title: Amazing....really!

text:
This is a fantastic new song from George Michael.  Die-hard fans will be happy to know that he hasn't completely renovated his sound, but you'll notice a minor makeover...
Closest song to this would be "Fast Love" from his last album "Older".  There's definitely a more modern dance influence on this track...faster paced and very addictive.
Enjoy...


title: Very Nice

text:
This is a live concert cd of Sinatra and very well recorded one as well with great quality, not 100% perfect, but pretty darn close.  It appears to be the same concert from the 1985 DVD release yet one song is missing from it.  The date does not match either since he was not in Japan at that time but a few weeks earlier.  Nonetheless, if your a fan buy it and you will not regret it.

title: Another fine one by Gabriel

text:
I believe the 2003 tour by Peter Gabriel was his first in nearly 10 years and was about time he got back at it.  Was not sure why he took so much time off but wished he wouldn't have.  The concert is good, only 16 songs with a few mess ups on two songs, maybe since his break was a little rusty.  Does about 1/3 new 2/3 previous hits.  Very nice rendition of mercy street, one of my favorites of his.  Overall for any Peter Gabriel fan don't think you will be disappointed.

text: This is a "radio broadcast", so it is most likely a bootleg. That being said, it is a high quality recording from the early part of his career. Thoroughly enjoyable & a good repesentation of his early shows. I only have two small complaints : The opening track 'Miami 2017' fades in after the opening & 'Travelin' Prayer' is edited in the middle with a fade out and in. Overall, definitely worth having.


title: An Artist of excellence!

text: I bought this album at the mall in Portland, Maine where Sergei was playing a few years ago.  I love the album and play it so frequently it stays in my CD player.  It is so relaxing and after listening to Sergei play, I find it difficult to have interest in other artists.  A true master.

The label contacted me about 2 months after the release and waiting forever that the Earbooks were damaged crossing the ocean and they couldn’t get anymore. They issued a refund and are a great company! Then I had to start a search on Amazon and here I am with good results because they had it and I am happily cranking my Nightwish!

text: Glad to have this back in my possession.  The used set was in great condition and the price was acceptable.


I bought this one in New Jersey years ago in a small shop in Somerville and it got scratched and I have been looking for it since. Best Pun verses and well though out mixing and flow. I will be checking in from time to time to see if DJ Roz makes a couple more copies


title: Great CD

text: I purchased this CD by complete mistake. I was surpised it wasnt what I was looking for but. I was even more shocked by how great the music is on this CD. Well worth the $11.95 + shipping I paid for the CD.


title: Hour By David Bowie

text:
Hours... is a lush, largely serene self-portrait through which David Bowie atones for mistakes and reflects on regrets. Not that this is the chameleon's swan song, but it's a fitting time for him to speak out honestly about his life--a life that's been lionized, criticized, and mythologized by the masses for three decades. Bowie's Hunky Dory muses were once "driving their mamas and papas insane," but here they are aged and faded ("The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell"); yet the man himself could not be more graceful or vibrant.

Track Listing:
.
1. Thursday's Child
2. Something in the Air
3. Survive
4. If I'm Dreaming My Life
5. Seven
6. What's Really Happennig?
7. Pretty Things Are Going to Hell [Unedited Version] [1999 Studio Lp Version]
8. New Angels of Promise  [1999 Lp Version]
9. Brilliant Adventure [Instrumental]
10. Dreamers
.
With Hours... David Bowie updates his musical wardrobe, but for the first time in his career he drops the facade. The album is a real-life memoir of loss, regret, and repentance. He boldly intertwines trip-hop rhythms, new-wave nods, Reeves Gabrels's wondrously odd guitar riffs, slow, deliberate ambient tempos, and atmospheric synth accents, all while maintaining a cohesive, otherworldly pop appeal. The CD marks the completion of an ironic circle, where Bowie draws inspiration from contemporary trends borne out of a musical style he invented decades ago. Looks like Major Tom has finally found his way home, and what a gorgeous homecoming it is. Listen to this CD fully to appreciate the depth of the music and lyrics. This is the similar to the David Bowie music I grew up with during the 70s, and enjoy the most. His voice is as good as it's ever been. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is only familiar with his later works. I really like every song on the CD, there doesn't seem to be a bad one in the bunch.


title: Swoon BY algrebra suicide

text:
Of the many vocalist/instrumentalist duos to emerge in and around the new wave, this Chicago team was quite unique, a fascinating marriage of Don Hedeker's music and Lydia Tomkiw's poetry. Over the course of its career, Algebra Suicide flirted with pop forms and occasionally shared stylistic ground with both Laurie Anderson and the Velvet Underground but never wavered from its own individual path. The eponymous debut, a four-song 7-inch, offers a sketchy but atmospheric mix of guitar and rhythm box behind Tomkiw's coolly intoned short texts, which include the haunting and memorable "True Romance at the World's Fair," among the group's most enduring pieces. An Explanation for That Flock of Crows adds bass, better sound and new vocal inflections (Tomkiw nearly sings "Tonight") to the recitation of four more numbers made accessible -- even catchy -- by tangible, occasionally narrative ideas and strong internal tempos. Algebra Suicide isn't rock'n'roll, but even those with an aversion to poetry should try the pair's concise records. Originally issued on cassette with a lyric booklet and later revamped on vinyl, Big Skin introduces piano and simple synthesizers to Hedeker's increasingly complex and dynamic music. The duo occasionally stumbles in its efforts to synchronize the verbal/instrumental rhythms, but both the song-form music and the lyrical content (like a fascinating, wry discussion of death entitled "Little Dead Body Poem," also released on a contemporaneous single with two other Big Skin selections) are engrossing. The Secret Like Crazy is a generous compilation: three tracks from each EP, half of Big Skin, four oldies from various sources and three new cuts. The German CD-only Real Numbers is a convivial 1988 live album, recorded with tapes supplementing Hedeker's onstage guitar work. Introducing new material and revisiting more than a dozen oldies (all benefiting from new backings/presentations and Tomkiw's brief setups), it's an ear-opener for a band that might otherwise seem studio -bound. Alpha Cue ups the couple's production ambitions, employing a guest to play bass and piano on two numbers and delivering carefully formed tracks with a credible band sound and enough chordal structure to easily support melodies. (Too bad about the robotic electronic drumming.) Tomkiw's multi-tracked vocals occasionally resemble tune-shy singing more than recitation. Sample: "What's inside me is rampant / Wanting ice bath or alcohol sponge / Something to extract it into a test tube / Glowing in the dark like Madame Curie's lover." Her carefully measured flow and his one-man arrangements both continue to gain style and confidence on Swoon, a CD which includes all of Alpha Cue. The poetess' structural experiments go so far as "Tender Red Net," a series of palindromes, but the bulk of her provocative prose is personal contemplations riddled with anxious emotions and aroused with sexual imagery. A nouveau rock star turns out to be a big headed jerk in "He's Famous Now," but even the changing of the seasons ("After Busy Summer") is described as "big lipped, hyper, with bawdy tone"; the fog in "Charming Twilight Haze" is "sexy...thick enough to choke on." Tomkiw doesn't mince words -- or maybe that's exactly what she does -- in "What I Like Doing Best," the unrestrained paean to kissing that opens Tongue Wrestling, Algebra Suicide's final album and easily their best. Hedeker outdoes himself with grand backing tracks that sift through early '80s new wave idioms (think of the sweeping guitar/synth vistas of A Flock of Seagulls, Big Country and Human League) and update them; Tomkiw's ticklish vocals have enough up-and-down motion to be free-style singing. Though the words and music don't exactly seem related or connected, the two elements still play off the moods and catch the angled light of each other, turning tracks like "Thank You" ("I have no sleeves, no pockets or secret hiding places / Except my head, my heart and other such tiny empty holes"), "One Night I Fell in Love" (a harrowing hallucination about obsession: "So very much in love, so I got up and drank a fifth of gin / And smoked a million cigarettes, and thought about / All the dead people I knew to make me drowsy...") and "Loose Change," a powerful meditation on the meaning of money: "I am living to find a new method / Of measuring success." Relocating to New York, Tomkiw made her solo debut, using various musicians -- including the Chicago trio Reality Scare, the Cleveland quartet Sosumi, Britain's Martin Bowes (ex-Attrition) and Edward Ka-Spel with some of his Legendary Pink Dots -- to provide strong, surging tracks of atmospheric rock and adventurous ambient techno. In a voice that lacks some of the sing-song delight of her previous work, Tomkiw recites pieces like "Iris," which makes effectively sensual use of vocal distortion, "Thief" (personality transfer set to what could be a film score) and "Saturn Makes a Move," a relationship-ending slap delivered with steely bitterness over coldly electronic industrial noises. The backing of "Pretty Something" has an otherworldly quality; the edgy, wistful relationship lyrics, however, are clear and real: "Because it was hopeless / I turned my face toward you and let you color my skin." Lydia Tomkiw passed away in Phoenix, Arizona in early September 2007. She was 48.Swoon was released on cd by Body Records (BR7001) in 1991. Tracks 13 to 23 are bonus tracks and are the whole Alpha Cue album original released in 1990 on vinyl by Body Records (BR7008). With a big thanks to The Bad Fairy.

title: Excellent CD

text: For those individuals who actually listen to and appreciate classical music, this is an excellent CD. I have heard the Far Cry string ensemble perform live many times. They are a very unique performing group, based in Boston, in terms of their choice of compositions, their thematic programs and they perform without a conductor and change parts. That is why they came up with the name 'Far Cry'. I was eager to obtain as many of their recordings as possible. I would highly recommend this CD to those who actually understand and appreciate string ensemble works.


title: Old Vinyl

text: This was a gift for my Sweetie, and was well packaged and in great shape on arrival. Great old-time Zombies music!


title: Overrated by previous buyer

text: The title of this CD is "Cosmos-A Space Time Odyssey".  The was NOTHING in it regarding the TV series Cosmos.  Several tracks sounded like jungle music.  The rating I saw for this was 100% and five stars.  Rubbish

title: Teach Your Tottler to Love the Rails

text:
The title and cover art are a little misleading. There aren't any cute ditties about Thomas and Friends or the Little Engine that Could.

Instead you get the trance-educing sound of the rails clacking under your feet as the miles melt away into slumber. Every once in a while the train pulls into a station and a soft voice comes over the intercom nudging you deeper into your 1st class seat. And then a few soothing cords play in the background as the train pulls out and accelerates into the country side.

Weird... Is that a seagull I hear in the next compartment? No worries. Just relax. You'll be asleep in no time, dreaming of that time you road the train from...

I just love this CD!!!

And it puts the babies to sleep as well. Plus I like to think it's subliminally helping to instill in the young one, a love for travel and a yearning to explore distant places.


title: Great learning tool

text: Got it the next day after ordering. Got it and got it out right away. Daughter loves it. I love that you can choose to slow the word itself or not. She's going to be in kindergarten in the fall and this should be very helpful for spelling and reading.

title: please make some more.

text: I want one of these. I hope you will make some more.  maybe throw in some kind of space to explore


title: Thank you Becky Hayes, It is very generous of you to share this.

text: very good stuff, I just wish I could remember to use more frequently. Give us more things like this, I promise to buy them all


title: Wow?

text: Be careful using this, it brings up a lot of buried dirt.  I'm not sure if it will help me to remember certain things I'm trying to piece together, but stuff just keeps bubbling up to the surface all the time. very potent, this one is no joke.


title: M&M mental masturbater

text: Sounds like it's coming from a steel echo chamber.  Pyshcobable that is mostly nonsense. I found it more alarming than relaxing.  I have 2 of his cd's and never listen to either of them, mostly because they're a little too "out there".  If you like psychotic rambling that makes little sense go ahead.  Other wise this is just mental masturbation on his part.


title: not enough

text: this product was disappointing in that it did not focus on early childhood, or anything that may be controversial. I bought it in hopes of shedding some light on years 1 thru 5. I would have like something that covered up to the first 14 years, but no such luck here.  You won't get any where close with this cd.  He primarily tells you that you feel good and that you are happy, Would I be buying this s%^* if I were???


title: Organ musak

text: The music is pure elevator musak. Nothing oriental or coherent about it. little to no nature sounds, very disappointing. Save you mind and your money. Sorry for the bad review, I reeeeeallllly wanted to like this.


title: run don't walk away

text: what a waste of money and time. Never mind the disturbing robot voice  or the careless induction Nothing on the cd to recommend it. Too short and haphazard to be any good. sounds like she's reading off of que cards


title: Not worth the postage

title: Excellent

text: Hey Excellent album it has all the original songs from the soap opera! Im totally satisfied!


title: Four Stars

text: Better live!


title: Not an SACD, as advertised, but worth the cheap price, sort of.

text: Although this was NOT an SACD, as usual, it was an interesting trip down memory lane and the price was right. But, one trip down memory lane was enough, so I mailed it to a friend who's STILL stuck in the 60's! He loved it! Groovy!


title: Great value

text: Product was as advertised.


title: Very happy

text: Loved it


title: Sonido

text: l sonido del CD no me gustó, sobre todo las canciones interpretadas por Nat K. Cole. Baja calidad en el mismo.


title: Real disappointment not funny

text: It thought it would be songs I heard at the BNW. Like the 12 days of Christmas. Nope Only voices of 2 persons, and not funny.


title: Thoth - Maiden Flight

text:
This is an interesting CD with a very eclectic mix of music.  Its little known (as nearly as I can tell) and hard to find.  I searched for it mainly because I loved a piece called Sirroco Sands.  The music is quite good, although I could do without the falsetto that one of the singers indulged in for several pieces....not for that one, fortunately.

The price on this cd was excellent.  The supplier sent the item very quickly.  It was in mint condition.


title: which is just fine with me because I bought this CD because I ...

text: There are only 2 songs on this CD, which is just fine with me because I bought this CD because I love Uptown Funk.  There were no problems with the CD (songs not playing, scratched, etc.).  Uptown Funk was great, the other song I didn't care for at all.  If you like Uptown Funk, this is the CD for you.


title: Enjoyable, but not up with the best

text:
The music isn't too bad and I enjoyed the alternative from the usual Star Trek Music from the alumni of Jerry Goldsmith, et al.  But I have to say it's not my favourite Star Trek soundtrack.  It was a bit light in places and didn't seem to have depth.  But then it does complement the more 'comedic' tone of the film.  Having said all that I'm glad it's in my collection for completeness.

Unfortunately the jewel case was broken when it was delivered, again, the wrong type of 'envelope' for this kind of product.


I enjoyed this soundtrack album of certainly a bombastic score, although some of the themes are a little repetitive.

The recording is extremely good, well defined and I can pick out the locations of a number of instruments in the orchestra across the sound stage.

I'm glad I added the title to my soundtrack collection.


title: Relaxing

text: The music was s great. The person reading the poetry, etc is droll and boring


title: Five Stars

text: really loved the sound and the quality of the writing is amazing!


title: Great music

text: Very very good


title: Exactly what I wanted

text: GunHill Road... I have been waiting for this new release!  And, when I ordered, I had it in TWO days!!  Great CD, quick ship, I,m happy.


title: Wonderful

text: Love every song on it.


title: Celebrate joyfully!

text: Every song is is either joyous or is moving. This is the next best thing to a Heavanly choir. I enjoy it over and over.


title: Sisters in Song is a Hard Find Joy

text: My mother is a former nun and loves listening to music of sisters singing.  She found this album, used, on cassette and has made listening to two of the songs her nightly ritual before bed, but after saying her novena.  She started to panic when her tape got muddy.  Finding a rare used copy of this on Amazon was divine intervention for a 66 year old woman!  She's now enjoying CD-quality music that she knows she'll be able to enjoy for many more nights.


title: Love

text: Bought for my daughter because she is a huge fan of Jrock. Love it. She is a very happy girl.


title: Bring back a taste of early New Wave rock.

text: I saw The Proof perform back on July 19th, 1980 when they warmed up for Pat Benatar.  I know this because I still have my concert ticket stub.  Just 2 words... They ROCKED!  During that show they announced that their first album, It's Safe, was being released in a few days.  I went to the record store every day until it was in and bought it.  I love this record.  Then, I let a friend borrow it and he never gave it back.  More than 20 years later my wife found me a copy and it's still just as good as it was back then.  I've burned it to CD and have it on my MP3 player and listen to it all the time.  If you liked New Wave when it was new, you should check out this album.  It's great.  Unfortunately, there wasn't a second album and The Proof faded away like so many other great New Wave bands of the 80s.  Still, it takes me back to my younger days and brings back fond memories.


title: Great Pink ....A last exit!

text: This has all the wondrous soaring sounds that I love in  Divison Bell and Momentary Lapse....It is proven once again that they could get along fine without Roger Waters. Plenty of good jams and freedom!


title: I recommend this artist

text: Wonderful, creative, artful, soulful, romantic


title: Time Tripping in the best possible way

text: Being able to hear Cliff and the Drifters/Shadows this early in their careers is pure rock n roll pleasure!  The appropriate analogies would be Elvis before the army, or the Beatles when they were playing in Hamburg.  There's very little "corporate" music here.  The radio interviews are priceless and totally evocative of the time.  Highly recommended!

title: The best CD you might never have heard

text: It's a CD, but it's also a work of art. It is hysterical and sad, outrageous and hummable...we flew to NYC just to see them and had front row seats for one of the best pieces of theater ever...thankfully Kiki missed kicking me in the head by a mere centimeter (I would have kept the shoe). This is in serious need of being reissued.

text: When I play this CD, I'm asked who is this guy,


title: Wide sample of Latin Music that sparkles

text:
Rather than focus on one composer, Russell has chosen to put forward pieces by a number. This can be a bit of a greatest hits effort, but I've been introduced to many through this album. Play the track of Falu's La Cuartelera, for example, and try to have a negative thought afterward. Chopi by Escobar:listening as I write this, though it sounds like about five different instruments are playing though we know only one under the skillful fingers of David Russell is involved.

A great survey, and some pieces to delight you to the end of your days.


title: Does not work with FiOS phone system

text:
I have Verizon FiOS phone system. I have a Caller ID device, which works. I bought this device, which does not work. It is extremely frustrating, as this is my second Caller ID bought off Amazon that does not work. I have had to re-use an older Caller ID I found around my house, and one bought off eBay.

Something is desperately wrong in the manufacturing ecosystem of China that a well-known technology, like Caller ID, cannot be manufactured new today and simply work. Before you ask questions, yes, I tried all parameters of plugs, outlets, etc. I'm not an idiot.


title: ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS OF THE 1960S

text: It is a wonderful album. I felt like Frankie Fanellis voice filled the entire room with his presence.


title: Wonderful music!

text: For some reason it doesn't display artist or song playing.

title: Just Plain Wonderful ... Spiritual ... Highly Recommended

text:
I have this as an audio tape, which someone gave me a few years ago.  I did not listen to it right away, but when I finally did, I thought, "Wow!  This is great."  The sax is so very mellow.  I think Nardello must be a Christian, since he plays the numbers with such spiritual feeling, as if he really believes and is immersed in the reality these musical compositions are meant to express.  I highly recommend this "album."  I wish it were offered widely again in both tape and CD formats, as it is the kind of musical offering that I would like many others to experience.

Just to let readers know, the numbers played are as follows:
On side one:  "Wind Beneath My Wings," "The Word Is Love," "My Tribute" (To God be The Glory), "Sacred Sax"
On side two:  "Somewhere Out There," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "How Great Thou Art"  "You'll Never Walk Alone," "Lords Prayer"

Someone out there, please re-issue this wonderful album.  Or, if it is available elsewhere, I hope Amazon also picks it up to sell here.

title: Works well if you know what you are trying to do

text: This product works perfectly. If you know what you are doing,  and pack the right material into it at the right moisture level so it dries out as it is is forming the shape, it works very well. The other reviews on here make me question the moisture level of product they were working with because yes if it is to dry it will crack and fall apart as you take the molding off. But if you do it right. And really pack it in, it works. 5out of 5 stars for sure. Thank you


These are in no way talentless 'redneck' musicians, as the previous idiot reviewer stated. I should know, as I was in all of the recording sessions at Cherokee studios as a assistant engineer during the making of the album. There ARE some great kick-ass songs here and I consider it a very good southern rock album-definately worth a listen. It has a more gritty musical vibe to it, which I really dig.

title: Really the Absolute Best!

text:
Not only is Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator a wonderful, fun, quirky book - Douglass Hodge is the best narrator I think I have ever heard. His energy, the different character's voices, and his fantastically enthusiastic delivery set him a notch above other readers, even the very great ones.

We own both this and his reading of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and my girls (and I) have listened to both of them several times. I would recommend them to anyone, and doubly so to fans of Charlie or of Roald Dahl.


title: Four Stars

text: Glad to have this! Thanks


title: I like this group

text: I like this group. Group consists of magma members, so there is a bit of that sound there. But all instrumental so a totally different vibe overall. Might not be everyone's cup of tea.


title: Heldon goes rock/pop!?

text: Definitely different from any previous heldon releases. This album goes into pop/techno/rock/electronic music realm with vocals. Unlike any previous heldon album releases. A modern re-working of some heldon classic tunes, which may or may not be your cup of tea. Some of the tunes sound dated which is definitely a detraction (very 90's techno/pop/rock sound and vibe and subpar vocals in my opinion). I'm a big fan of pinhas so I enjoyed the reworkings of older tunes, as for the new material it is strange hearing heldon making pop music. 3.5 stars.


title: Simply beautiful, musically and sonically

text: This is just a marvelous cd. The music is great, its a little dark but not depressing, and the sonics are spectacular. Shes from "Daves True Story" and they record on the Chesky label, if you know audiophilia you know who Chesky is. Her recording on this cd is just as good as the Chesky recordings with DTS. Buy this, its well worth the money. I'll buy it on vinyl if it ever gets released as an LP.


title: FOTCs. What else do you need to know?

text: Excellent mix. Would have loved a dvd with the CDs.

Is atmospheric punk a thing?

Kinda post punk, kinda spacey. ALL KINDS OF AWESOME.

Buy this. Then buy another for your friend.
After that, go break things, skateboard, sulk in your mom's basement, and if there's enough time, visit the "Beyond" section at Bed, Bath & Beyond... trip balls.


title: Question about the audio book format

text: Douglas Adams has my favorite author. I've read everything he ever wrote at least twice. Masterpieces like this I've prob read 10-20 times as I make it a point to read the whole series once a year. Or listen to them on audiobook which brings me to my question (since there is no question section  on this page for some reason). Who narrates the audiobook format in this version?


title: Bought for one song. Loved the whole CD!

text: Arrived on time and in excellent condition. I am a lifelong fan of the Statler Brothers and this CD offered a song that I had never heard, so I bought it and got a great deal. This CD is a compilation and didn't disappoint. The sound was fantastic and I even liked the visual appearance of the case. Great experience.


title: Her brilliant use of harmony and rhythms never get dull or ...

text: The messages of Abraham-Hicks have been artfully put to music by Francine Jarry, who is an accomplished composer, arranger and musician.  Her brilliant use of harmony and rhythms never get dull or stale.  Great for any time:  in your car, while exercising or walking, while taking care of the children, fixing dinner, etc. etc.  It is fun, it is profound,  and it is very helpful for alignment.


title: Recommended by my hairdresser

text: My hairdresser recommended this--I have very fine hair--and I have found that when I use this the style lasts longer.


title: Five Stars

text: Great meditation or relaxation cd


title: Just Ok

text: Although this collection has a handful of standout tracks, most of it is unmemorable.  The Skin, Flesh & Bones tracks that lead off each CD are excellent.  Some wonderful harmonica reverb there.  For me, the only other outstanding track is "Academy Award Version".  There are a few others I rate as good: "Keep on Dubbing" and "Free Us Dub" by the Twinkle Brothers, "Roots Natty Roots (Version)" (dub of a Johnny Clarke track), "Roof Top Dub" (nice dub of "I Need a Roof"), and, despite the awful pun in the title, "Lowers Frock" by Roots Radics.  The rest of the tracks are not bad, and would be just fine as background music, but nothing else really stands out for me.  A smaller but better compilation, IMO, is [[ASIN:B00I8Z9N8Y Soundsystem Dub Plate Specials 1975-79]].  Another option is the [[ASIN:B00M7B1FW2 Sunken City Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]], which has a nice variety of styles, even though it's by one group of musicians.


title: Very disappointing and I gave it as a gift to ...

text: Very disappointing and I gave it as a gift to a student learning French.  Thought it was a collection of basic French songs of the French culture.  Learned my lesson,  I won't buy another cd unless I can sample a selection of songs.

text: Won’t play in any of my actual CD players my pioneer system my Sony upstairs nothing just comes up no desk while playing my PlayStation or my Xbox it won’t play on my DVD player for some reason it will play on my Sony Blu-ray player through the TV kind of defeats the purpose of buying a CD for my pioneer system jukebox but whatever I guess I can listen to some of the trucks aren’t the best live recording some of them are pretty good all great songs


title: This is a Very Rare Gem!.. 😧

text: Probably on of the most under rated albums of Homero y Lupe to date.. I own and STILL wont listen to it because It's tooo good. If it's for sale, BUY IT AT ANY PRICE ! just make sure it's not pirated when you receive it check the art paper quality of the cover and back for poor quality printing. Ramex always did HQ recordings, L.P. pressings and cd distribution. Probably one the best in producing in ALL formats, tape cd, (8track😹) and L.P.s. One of a handful of groups recorded at Garza studios in Texas. Amazing Sound Engineering for the time considering the amount of issues that happen while recording. ✭✭✭✭✭

text: Excellent traditional sound, .!!


title: Five Stars

text: Amazing group, Wonderful traditional sound which is lost in Norteña today.


title: Grab it !!

text: This is a Must have for any Lalo Mora fan. It is released by EMI and as a consequence the songs are not available online in the US. Probably their best album.


title: Once you go Dutch, you'll never go terug.

text: If you're like most people -- and I would even include most Dutch in this assessment -- your knowledge of Dutch folk music probably pales in comparison to your knowledge of, say, barbed wire or peanut harvesting. But the period covered in this collection, 1967-1987, was really fruitful across Europe for folk, with bands like Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Malicorne, Flairck, Ougenweide and others being formed and having their heyday. So it seemed logical to me that the Dutch music scene might have well been caught up in that revival. I knew of precisely one band (Wolverlei) on this compilation, but now that I've had a chance to listen through it, I want more. It's a wee bit pricey for the casual fan (and the prices will no doubt vary since it is out of print), but I felt the $40-ish US that I spent on it was a worthy investment. [Certainly better than a pair of tickets to see Suicide Squad.] If they ever decide to launch a Volume 2, I'm in.


title: Very Pleased

text: In excellent shape, brand new.


title: Relaxing and soothing

text: One of the better healing cds I've listened to.  I don't know if it will help with my health problem, but it is definitely calming, helps me feel more centered, and that in itself is a good thing.


title: Just as advertised

text: I bought this for a friend's 40th birthday.  She loved it!
