title: My Kinda Woman!

text: Ms. Aziza is the most unique, original, motivating pianist that I've heard in a long, long time. Besides her unique mastery of the piano, her concept of using rhythms, scales, chords, harmonies and her voice range as well as utilizing her native tongue mesmerizes me. I almost started worshipping her and I still might. Her band is right in sync and play very well together. I'm probably a little late, but I'd marry her in a heartbeat! So...I settled for purchasing all her recordings. Five stars !!!


title: Bravo !!!

text: Bravo! Mr. Colligan has what it takes to pull off a solid solo performance. Excellent choice of material, with fresh ideals. Five stars !!!

title: best seller album by the country band

text: check out laura lynch's voice


title: Great buy, great set!

text: This is a beautiful set.  Everything is as described.  Best part is it comes boxed and you don't have to assemble.  Color is very pretty as pictured.  Cushion material is sturdy which makes it a tiny bit rough on bare skin - but not bad.  It looks like a super expensive set and we absolutely love it!


title: Doesn't get better than this!

text: an amazing collection of original recording from the greatest jazz singers and players from 1929 to 1956


title: Four Stars

text: Building on my guilty pleasures.  The man that built Hanoi rocks!


title: Complete Balance

text: After waiting too long for new music from Will, we receive a real charmer. Great variety in songwriting styles with an ever so cool delivery.  I'm also noticing that there are some really fantastic lyrics on the record as well. And I don't think that's the first thing that comes to mind when folks think of Will Sexton.  Check out 'Happy Hour' 'Sunday Driver' and 'Pissed Off Nights' for a sample.  Also see: Bus Stop Gossip, Other Lies & Respected Crimes *****


title: Bluesy and Soulful

text: If you are looking for music that reaches your soul, buy this!


title: Five Stars

text: Was a gift for my mom for Christmas. She loves it.


title: Excelente

text: Very good, thanks you.


title: You can order recorded music through Amazon with confidence.

text: I really enjoy this album, and it arrived quickly. Thanks to Amazon, I was able to listen to the music before it arrived by downloading the included MP3.


title: Good stuff

text: I don't have this CD, yet.<br />I have heard Kentucky Sassafras on TV and live and they're good, dang good.


title: Extraordinary

text: Pia does not need AMERICAN IDOL or STAR SEARCH to tell her that her voice is platinum.


title: One promising song

text: The opening track sounds promising; however, the rest of the material does not live up to her earlier work.


title: Little Known 1980s Artist

text: If you are at all a fan of early 1980s pop/rock, you will find many enjoyable songs on this album.


title: beaucoup music

text: I was surprized to find out this product actually was 3 cd's and lots and lots of music.  Each cd had about 30 songs on it, enough to throw a Buddy Holly Party.[[ASIN:B003VRV9FY The 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts]]


title: Great Beginnings

text: These are my favorite songs from BDW.  They are early recordings from on e of my favorite albums One and Only.  So good to hear these songs.  I love "Killing Me Again" in a slower time.  And "Rest" is amazing.


title: ! would order from this seller again.

text: No problem with the seller, or condition of the book. However the book was very hard for me to understand and I don't often have trouble comprehending the written word. Gave up on it after 50 pages so I think I was fair in my assessment.


title: Barre is amazing

text: It was in  good condition exactly how I expected. I knew Barre personally this is not an easy thing to find. So happy I Able to get this Thank you so much


title: Beautiful Single

text: Excellent track, beautiful and an unique singer. Great remixes especially the riva one. A must have CD for your collection. I can safely say that Nadia Ali is the best club singer! her voice is just amazing. very moody. will make you groove. Check out "At the End" too.


title: I love this music

text: I love this music, it reminds me of my Grandparents!  I have bought the same copy many times over to share with family and dear friends who share the same cultural background as myself.


title: Inspirational

text: The songs are so inspirational I listen to them all the time


title: Did I buy this?

text: I think I bought this for a young granddaughter. I've never seen it, thankfully.


title: I LOVE this CD

text: I LOVE this CD.  It's rare that I love the majority of songs on a CD, but I love all of these.  I've been listening 24/7 since it arrived.  I had originally downloaded the song, "Sarveshan Svastir Bavatu" which first captured my attention.  Then I HAD to have the CD to read the liner notes and get the lyrics.  It's upbeat, soothing, comforting all at the same time.  I love the children's voices--they're so pure and 'light'.  I'm so glad I stumbled across this one.  The arrangements are beautiful.  Enjoy!


title: Still #1

text: Took me back in time


title: If you like classical music, you will like this

text: Performance was very good.  Music which is Not from a well-known movie of Rozsa's composition was a real treat.


title: Best CD

text: Classic.  A must for your collection.  So many memories....extended version of Shout is epic.  Thank you.


title: If you come for "downtime",don't buy this

text: I first heard their single "downtime" while I was playing NBA 2K11. I'm a big fan of hip hop. The beat is kool,  The lyrics was kinda nonsense but I think this track is dope. Bsides I've never heard of them before. So I decided to buy this album. Well, the album disappointed me, their other songs really sucks. They all sound the same, with a little bit electronic key and then hit some rhyme that actually says nothing. So if you come for the single downtime, just download downtime, don't but the whole album.<br />P.S. I bought the CD from smoked cd. The status on website shows that the CD is new. However, when I received the CD, it has already been opened and there is even some scratch on the surface.


title: Four stars for the music, two stars for the sound quality

text: Another CD which is victim of sound-quality analog audio tapes.  I have tried to find a product which does not grate the ears (even going Japanese SHM-CD) to no available.  It is a shame, since the songs on this release are top-notch.  If you love the Moody Blues, get the Japanese SHM-CD release of 'Days of Future Past', which I can attest to being the definitive version of that wonderful release.


title: Forget hopes for sound improvement

text: Neil Young's first album has never been (to my knowledge) actually improved.  There is some great music here begging to be remixed, but apparently that will not be happening, and certainly not on this release.  The sound is not *bad*, but it is what would be expected from 1980's CD engineering.  Too bad - 'The Loner' and 'I've Been Waiting for You' are neglected classics.


title: Great opening song worth price of admission - good sound quality

text: Sound quality?  First rate.  Content: variable, with a very fine opening number and ending with the epic "Tainted Love".  Is this a "buy"?  Only if you are an Almond fan IMHO, or never heard "Tainted Love", previously . There is a very fine quality recorded version of that epic on the well-produced "The Best of the 80's: 20th Century Masters Millennium Collection" CD.


title: Nice try, but some sound is lost

text: The first three cuts on this CD are all-time rock anthems, which helped make Sammy Hagar and Ronnie Montrose famous.  The problem is what some of the 1970's reissues experience - some sound loss, especially on the high end.  For example, Led Zeppelin One, on its 1995 release, sounds infinitely better on the high end than the 2-Cd reissue recently released.  This is another case of the producers either not having good first-generation master tapes, or the tape experiencing a form of deterioration.  Back to the Montrose gold CD.  Call me a minimalist, but the opening three cuts on the Montrose CD can be found with much better quality remasters on the 'Very Best of Montrose' (there is a bee on the cover of that release).  We all hoped that somehow the master tapes could be improved, but what we are faced with here is a regression.  If you are only looking to add the first three cuts of the original Montrose CD (gems all), the 'Very Best of Montrose' is where to go.  If you haven't heard the first three cuts on 'Montrose', take a sample listen on the Amazon website.


title: Finally, a fair representation of Focus's early sound

text: Having taken a listen on audiophile equipment, I can attest to the lifelike sound clarity on this release.  They sounded like they were playing in front of me.  It must be pointed out that at the time (1971), Focus was just coming into its own, and that master guitarist Jan Akkerman had formed a quartet with Pierre van der Linden from the remnant of the phenomenal band Brainbox.  Focus differed from the commercial orientation many big acts were boxed into by the music industry at the time, manipulated into signing contracts and pumping out 'product'.  I saw Focus several times in 1972 live (Utica, NY, Buffalo, NY and Asbury Park, NJ included).  What I am attempting to explain is that Focus did not play 'songs', so much as they had vehicles in which they could jam around on stage, experimenting and just going free-form.  Thats  what we have here.  The 46-minute long Eruption version here starts out a bit sloppy - there are missed notes here and there.  They were not trying to copy the album cuts, but to expand on them.  Now, if you listen with discernment to the spots of music of genius displayed here, it takes you back to a different recording world.  So, considering that three fine quality free-form live concert selections are what you get here, you can see why Jan Akkerman was so well respected in Europe (and then America), and still is.  Thijs van Leer kind of overdoes the vocals (or yodeling, if you will), but his playing is fine.  Cyril Havermann's handles the bass well here, and van der Linden was an ace on the drums.  This release is a bit pricey, but if you are curious as to Jan Akkerman at his most energetic, this is a very worthwhile purchase.


title: Good sound, but eclectic show

text: Sound quality is very good on this release.  The problem is the material, which is sort of all over the place.  IMHO Albert was better captured in the studio.  It is a shame that there are not more and better recordings available.  I don't regret the pricey purchase, in order to capture Albert in a live environment.


title: Five Stars

text: Love Bert.


title: No one could match Tony Martin!

text: I have been fortunate enough to be aware (and enthralled) by the voice of such a handsome man--almost all my life.  I first became aware of him when I was about 8 yrs. old, so he must have been a very young man.  Like another reviewer, I could never figure out how the executives in Hollywood seemed to almost miss his great talents and good looks as the years went by.  I last saw him in Palm Springs when he was 85 and he still looked and sounded unbelievable!!!


title: Roberto Alagna is wonderful!

text: I just loved this CD that Roberto Alagna recorded.  He is so expressive and all of the songs are with a tango or rhumba beat.  It makes you feel like you want to get up and dance. I sent to a friend that loves Latin music and she just loved it!  This disc was one of the best recital recordings in Opera News magazine for last year!  Ir you love Latin music thia is a must!


title: Nice sounds

This is an awesome set of bible study cds, I myself didn't understand the supernatural gifts of the Holy Ghost. It's amazing to enrich myself with so my knowledge.


title: Five Stars

text: beautiful song on the CD, great voice!


title: no one like Bruce Smith!

text: He's got the "chops".  He has a poignant sensibility to all his work.  His "genre" or style is tough to nail down.  Some of his pieces remind one of the finest piano bar stuff in NY.  Many of his pieces are more new agey, drifting themes without melodic underpinning (but hey, Miles Davis used that musical technique quite well).  At his best, he is singular in the world of music.  No one I have heard has this automatic synthesis of classical technique, jazz chops, and lyrical piano.  I would love to hear him also keep exploring wrapping his "chops"/riffs/embellishments around a solid tune.  The absolute best example is "Dance with an Angel".  Where his arpeggios and fantastic skills are doled out in service to the "song"--the "frosting" serves the "cake" as it were, not the other way around.  I love it when he writes "songs".  But that's just my particular taste.  As to my opinion about his music in general--it is honest, heartfelt, and composed and played with great virtuosity.  This guy is at home with a concert hall playing a Rachmaninoff concerto or Chopin as he is in a piano bar with Peter Duchen or Errol Garner.... and.... dare we say it, he approaches the realm of the incomparable Art Tatum.  He has the guts to write his own music.  I love all his stuff, but I want more "songs" with implied sections--intro, verse, chorus (A, B, C... repeat).  Although I do love  his free-form strands of songs, I do love his talent at writing a melody.... and who knows, if he does some more like "Dance with an Angel", he might get a lyricist and.................. ZOOM!!!!

title: tango music

title: Four Stars

text: Really enjoy these fairies and they arrived all in tacked.


title: what the UM?

text: So you're looking for some creatively engineered improv from the masters of the jazz undercurrents?  UM delivers a jazz odyssey with an egde and attitude of the most worthy brand.  At times atonal, loud, aggressive, dark, explosive and swinging to no end.  Mr. Crook gets some otherworldly sounds out of his electric effects fueled 'tromotizer' and is right at home with the work of Mr. Gullotti on drums, Peckman on guitar, Zinno holding down the bass and Medeski continuing to redefine organ.  Not for the faint hearted and not background music.  These guys tore up Tonic in NYC last March and are a rare treat to see live.  The Cd was recorded live in Providence, RI and gives a nice glimpse into what these accomplished Avant-masters can do when put in the same room and given free reign.  Very diverse tunes that go from the Sci-Fi scariness of 'Gizmosis' to Medeski belting out Larry Young lines on the last track 'UM'.  Give it a spin and hear that Sun Ra and the like are still influencing music from the outer limits of expression.  Enjoy...


title: The “Harmonizing Four Sing” beautifully.

text: Great gospel album. Excellent harmonizing. Great childhood memories. A must buy.


title: This is a 2 CD set

text: Delighted with this CD set. Sound quality is very good. no complaints at all concerning the 2 albums/CD set.<br />  Terrific song selection. Came quickly, well packaged and intact. Would recommend to others.


title: Why Isn't This On CD???

text: Husband and I have been listening to John Hartford for decades. But this album is one of his most intimate...a song or two have appeared on other albums, but not most of them. A REAL SHAME. Must I go to all the hassle of hiring someone to copy our vinyl album to CD? I'd love it if it were re-released.

title: The music of Ernesto Lecuona interpreted by the 101 Strings Orchestra

text: Ernesto Lecuona's music is magnificent and this recording by the 101 Strings orchestra of some of his best known compositions is about the best I have ever heard. I used to own this 33 rpm back in 1961 and lost it, which is why I purchased this used copy at Amazon.  It is VERY UNFORTUNATE that this wonderful 33 rpm record has not been transfered in its entirety into a CD.  In fact, I am going to pay $45.00 to have it made into a CD because I want to be able to take the music places without carrying my trusty phonograph with me.  So, if you like the music of Lecuona, as it is magnificently rendered in this recording, you should ask for this recording in CD form and maybe someone will get wise to the fact that there is a demand for it and that they would make money by updating the 33 rpm to a CD format.<br />All of you out there, enjoy Lecuona and especially this absolutely great 33 rpm recording.


title: They are Okay.

text:
As the first pieces of classical music I learned to love, Schubert's early symphonies are very meaningful pieces of music to me.

I've been listening to this symphony set for more than five years and as I reflect back on time I am struck by a failure to recall any meaningful musical experiences I have had with them.

The orchestration feels too thick, the performances are very structural and even ... does not give these symphonies a sense of elan.

Time to find a different set of Schubert symphonies.


title: Great Music

text: Great Music, genuinely deep and profound. I've listened to and enjoyed this CD quite a number of times.


title: Five Stars

text: Great Performance! One of the first classical CDs I listened to, and I still enjoy listening to it.


title: What great memories!

text: I heard this band along with Deke Leonard being played on The legendary KSAN San Francisco radio station in San Francisco in the early seventies and immediately fell in love and snatched up as many records as I could (back when there were record stores). I still own them and frankly I’m tempted sometimes to hook up my old stereo system with turntable just so that I can hear all that great music again.

title: Awesome album & bad shipping handling

text: I love the album and it is very well designed. You can feel the quality of the item. The only problem I have is how the album was treated you can see a bit of damage on the left side like someone bent it. Overall I'm happy though


title: great cd

text: this is my first cd by ed sherran and i got lucky , its a good one.


title: Awesome Music!

text: Bernie is an amazing musician, and his music just makes me happy! This CD is well worth everyone’s time to listen and enjoy.


title: Wonderful Music

text: This is the best recording I have ever heard of Mozart's flute music. Unfortunately it's only available on vinyl, and seems that it was never recorded on CD.


title: Great instructional CD

text: I found the Full Circle Drum Instructional Doumbek CD very helpful.  The instructions were very easy to follow and they used slow tempos in order to learn the rhythms.  There were also faster tempos to practice the patterns in real time.  I would recommend this CD for a beginner doumbek player or a percussionist who wants to learn several interesting Middle Eastern rhythms.


title: A Lost Treasure

text: Caryl P. Weiss is not an easy singer to find anywhere on the MP3 market, so I had to find a full CD to listen to her.  Though I probably would have only bought 7 of these songs individually, there was no other way to get them.  I enjoy "With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm" immensely.


title: Perfect for massage therapy!

text: I am a massage therapist and I primarily use Lifescapes music in my ipod with my clients. I must have some 20+ of their cds, and my clients love 'em! If you have a massage practice check out Lifescape cds!

title: Matisyahu live at Twist & Shout

text: this is a pretty good live album if you like Matis. Not as huge as Live at Stubbs 1 or 2 but definently worth listening to and buying.No drums but beat boxing. pretty mellow feel over all.


title: Turkistan singer with a wonderful voice.

text: Heard him playing and singing solo in Istanbul at a small restaurant.  Terrific voice and his songs resonate with those sympathetic to the political concerns of those living in the Turkistan region of Western Russia.  Would have preferred a recording sounding more like he did in the restaurant, but it is good to hear his wonderful voice.

title: An excellent teacher and student resource

text: The performances are an excellent example of what the student should aim to practice towards.  It is always wonderful for a teacher to have this available in the lesson.  It is especially helpful when a student has learned a wrong note or rhythm.  The student can more easily grasp where the correction needs to be made.

title: A Sleeper

text:
This terrific album helped my young daughters settle down to beddy-bye back in the early 1970s. My wife and I continued to be haunted by this album for decades, though we misplaced it at some way station--time has a way of letting things get out of your hands.

Now 40 years later I've purchased Golden Slumbers for my year-old step-grandson. I'll confess that a fierce nostalgia for its lullabies drove me to put in my order for something I'd thought was as unavailable as Hamilton-Beach milkshakes in bygone candy stores. Thank whatever gods there be for durable vinyl LPs!

I'm also especially thankful to the late, great Pete Seeger, who, with his banjo and ear-candy voice, contributed three of the twenty-four songs here. Your family, no matter how young or old, will join you in absolutely loving Seeger's renditions of "All the Pretty Little Horses," "Hush Lit'l Baby," and "Bye 'n Bye." Other beauties include Jean Ritchie's "Dance to Your Daddy" and "Prettiest Boy in the County-O," as well as Robin Roberts' fetching "Cuc-a-Nandy." Whether you prefer lullabies from Africa, England, France, or Israel, they are all represented in this cosmopolitan collection of folk songs that have sung babies to sleep for aeons--and will continue to comfort their parents and grandparents unendingly.


title: Zep flys highagain-forget Celebration Day!

text: Good sound board quality of the 1977 tour which I saw. at the Garden twice.  This is worth the money.  Enough said.


title: awesome cd

text: i was looking for this cd with the different version on it wow! bringing back memories cd in great shape thanks!


I didn't recognize any of the song selections and, in fact, gave this to a friend of mine because I didn't like it.  It doesn't showcase his talent very much, IMO.


title: doesn't fit

text: The cards fit too tightly and then are difficult to take back out.<br />The places for the gems aren't big enough either.


title: Girl friend. song

text: This was one of my favorite club jams. I know, my kids say, buy the phone and blue tube and download. You know what, this retirement is my world. I am doing my thing. I wanna own my stuff. Will get to that. I'm enjoying. Hey!

text: Gift for son's friend- she loved it!


title: old favorite

text: it was fun to find this music from the 80's that my children memorized.  Now I have these great singers to entertain my grandchildren.


title: Awesome!

text: This album is a blast!! Highly recommended for Mai-K fans because Michael Africk has contributed to Mai-K for 11 years and now Mai-K takes part in some collaborative songs, Love One Another and Boyfriend. If you ask me, Mai-K supported him in return in Michael's album. That's definitely a 'give and take' pattern, isn't it? What's more, Michael sings Never Gonna Give You Up as his self-covered edition, where he tried singing Japanese lyric Mai-K wrote. I suppose he shows Mai-K and her fans his eagerness to know about Japan.<br />Michael Africk didn't still seem popular enough, but I hope this album will motivate more Mai-K fans to listen to this and be a smash hit both in the US and Japan!!


title: Winter Bells - Romantic Winter Tune

text: Winter Bells has enough power to warm my heart! Especially, it must be the right tune for singing in college festivals. I could forget cold weather if she sings Winter Bells in her live. This tune fits Mai-K's style! It sounds so catchy and positive that I can eliminate any distressing and hazy feelings. Besides, it seems to me as though Mai-K told us "Winter sure will change into spring. Hang in there!" So I'll keep this warm and catchy tune whenever I get stuck in deep depression.


title: This Song Cheers Me Up!

text:
Basically I don't like BoA's ballad tunes very much, but Key of Heart is an exception. It helps me summon up my courage and never bores me. I was really fascinated when she shouted in her concert,"I would like to sing this song(Key of Heart) with everybody!!" I just downloaded the scene from some video software, though.

Anyway, Key of Heart is quite an encouraging and therapeutic tune, if you ask me.


title: Brand New Beat - Amazingly Catchy Tune

text:
As a matter of fact, I love this song best of all of BoA's songs! It's so riveting! Basically I prefer most of her up-tempo tunes like No.1, Sweet Impact, Valenti, Sparkling, and Shine We Are to ballad songs like Smile again and Merikuri.(Key of Heart is an exception, just in case!) However, I'm fired up about catchy and therapeutic ones like Milky Way, Brand New Beat, and Joyful Smile as well!

I remember some of her fans saying that she's multi-talented on Amazon .com and I do agree! She's a multilingual Korean young lady who speaks English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Moreover, she speaks Japanese a lot better than when she just had visited Japan in her teenage days and her dancing really draws my attention as well.

Overall, I hope her performance will appeal to all over the world forever!

title: Great classic

text:
Featuring the singers (Difang and his wife) that made the Enigma song 'Return to Innocence' a hit, this album has traditional folk singing backed by 90s electronica and caps it with the original a capella recording of 'Elders Drinking Song' that was sampled in the hit pop song.

I was surprised that traditional instruments weren't used on this album but as much of the content consists of work songs sung without other accompaniment, the music actually works quite well.

There are ten songs not including the original recording of 'Elders Drinking Song'.

text: Another wonderful LP from 山下達郎 (Yamashita, Tatsuro). You won't be disappointed with one, I like all the tracks.  山下さんは天才だ！ (Following his work since 1980) His recent work includes the theme song for the Mirai movie in 2018 ミライのテーマ / うたのきしゃ(Mirai no Theme / Uta no Kisha) and in 2019,  レシピ (Recipe) for a TV Drama series. I'm impressed that he is still kickin' with little or no change in his singing voice this past 40 or so years.  Vinyl is a bit steep right now so CD may be the way to go. Either way if you're a 山下達郎 fan you will be pleased.


title: I believe this is Cindy's best album of the 3 she released!

text: All the songs on this album have been masterfully done with Cindy's lovely voice. My favorate is 7-私たちを信じていて(believe in us) If  this lp  was easily available and promote here in the states when released (1990),she would have definatelly had a following. A bit steep as far as the cost, but worth it since this is one of very few albums that I like all tracks. Too bad Amazon does not have sample tracks of this LP as they do for most domestic atrist, maybe some day.

text: The box was broken but the CD is just fine. I guess the box broke because of the handling. Other than this is perfect.


title: Cheaply packaged.

title: One Star

text: It could not be played in U. S.


title: U 2 Can Yodel

text: This is a great tape to learn yodeling with and Kerry leads his students through the basics very well.  The songs are enjoyable and I have not gotten tired of listening to them and practicing them over and over.  I only wish he covered the technique of the high rapid warble.

text: Been a Kinks fan since You Really Got Me.  These songs are avaiible on  other releases, but how much money do you have; never mind the storage space needed.  This collection is neat and rewarding to have these songs all togeter in one package.


title: This is a bagain; purchase noe.

text: Fills before and after the official bootleg cd from label in 1978.  Well worth the prce and group was already paid for these performances.  They already snorted up the proceeds,


title: Little Feat still great

text: If you like Little Feat; get this.


title: It's great for any true Kinks fan

text: I never knew kit existed before I read about it.  It's great for any true Kinks fan.  Get  yourself a copy.


A rare gem, this album is one of the earliest works of Joy Electric's, Ronnie Martin. Released in 1992, Ronnie and his brother Jason Martin created a few albums together. It certainly has the electro-synthesized sounds as Joy Electric, only with a more dancable/house like sounds. The songs are certainly upbeat and sometimes really lovely. Of course, the album is a little rusty at times, but it's still fun. Some songs sound a little awkward, but hey, it's great to hear how Ronnie Martin started.


title: Le Cuisine de Dynah

text:
I have to say something about this album: I could see how someone might not like it.  Dynah's brand of ethereal rock is an acquired taste.  If you don't go for catchy songs with grandiose choruses and epic ambitions, then you probably won't like this.

The first couple listens I thought Dynah hadn't really established its own voice, but the more you listen the more Dynah's signatures become apparent.

They master shoegaze everywhere (maybe best with 'Ones and Zeroes' howling guitar) but garnish it with forays into British-tinged rock ('Sick Inside' gets huge in the end) and 80s-styled new-wave ('Misfit' gets good if you can get past the first minute-and-a-half).

'A.M.' swigs Radiohead's jar of wine completely dry, and  the song becomes a roadblock on the album (just remember: you don't have to upload this song onto your iTunes).

Luckily 'Cracked Bones' quickly swoops in to save the day; it ushers in a stellar final five songs.  'Bones' ringing electric sits beside a strummed acoustic.

'Philosophy and a Kiss' again displays some Radiohead moves, but sounds much better.

Be patient with 'Plastiscene' then revel in 'Photograph's brilliance and the bonus track's murky dirge that just sounds large.

Certainly worth buying this off CD Baby for about the same as the spare change you'll find in your couch.


title: Brilliant

text:
I received this CD as a present from a friend who, knowing my affection for opera, wanted to expose me to something I hadn't heard before.  He certainly surprised me. Elan Rotem composed a Musical Drama in three acts telling the biblical story of Joseph and his brothers. The lyrics are the original Biblical Hebrew of Genesis 37-46; the music is in the spirit of early operas (17th Century), specifically Cavaleri, Caccini, Peri, Monteverdi, and Salomone Rossi, the first Jewish Baroque composer to use Hebrew for choral music.
The concept is brilliant, and the performance by Rotem’s own group, Profeti della Quinta, is a delight to listen to.  I can only hope that an imaginative director will stage or create a movie of this Musical Drama.
The quality of the recording is excellent. The attached booklet includes the lyrics in Hebrew with transliteration to allow the one to follow along, as well as translations to English, French and German.

title: A Beautiful Recording Out of Occupied France

text:
In the grim despair of German-Occupied France during World War II, a young Jean Fournet conducted the first, extant complete Berlioz Faust (the 1930 set conducted by Piero Coppola is quite heavily abridged) which reflects the true tradition of authentic French style.  Slightly wobbly, poor-quality 78's of inferior material -- all that was available during those sad days-- were used for this cd engineered transfer but the atmosphere in that 1942 studio  (actually, I believe it was recorded in an old church) bursts forth in its dark intensity nearly 80 years later, capturing a time and a feeling of true artists retreating to their own "long ago" of Berlioz's 1846 magic when he first conceived his musical interpretation of the Faust tale.  In these voices and from these musicians I hear bravery, elation, fervor and beauty.  They could overcome the awful surroundings of a conquered city and draw listeners -- and will as long as this recording exists in some form -- into a legendary realm.  I truly think the star of this set is the magnificent baritone Paul Cabanel, a seductive and lustrous Mephistopheles who does not have to leer nor be hammy to get his Devil across.  There are "better" Faust voices we've heard in newer recordings, but the tenor Georges Jouatte makes all his points and holds his listeners with compelling stylishness, and Mona Laurena voices a darkly lovely and tragic Marguerite-- her King of Thule air amid the deep plucking strings of ancient recording sonics conveys absolute magic.  The chorus and orchestra in both the Easter Hymn and in the Sylphs singing Faust to sleep are of a sound both hypnotic and perfumed, very nearly bringing to one's vision shadowy forms of a quasi- medieval recognition.  This is a superlative interpretation and holds fast in comparison to all the best Berlioz Faust recordings:  the aged brightness of Coppola 90 years ago; the quite famous 1954 Munch set on RCA Victor; Markevitch's puzzlingly unnecessary need for abridgement which we enjoy despite ourselves; , Pretre's sparkling, deeply French late 1960's rendition at once heartfelt and provocative; the glossy luster of both Ozawa and Barenboim during the 1970's, and finally Solti's in 1981, not for once ruined by digital engineering which usually rips all personality out of a recording.  (And no, I've never been impressed with Colin Davis' blandly tepid cycle of Berlioz recordings, so famous during the 1970's, and don't understand the admiration for them).  In short, I've listened to and own lots of Berlioz Damnations, and this is one of the best ones ever.

Oh, also on the cd (check out the unintentionally funny but well-meaning English translation of the little booklet) is the Requiem, and there's a lot of Grande Messe de Morts lovers out there but this one is so gloomy -- and spooky -- that it feels like the performers are all looking over their shoulders waiting for some jack-booted overseer to burst in and bellow cruel invective at them for daring to make a recording.  It invokes a dark cold rainy day where no one has had anything decent to eat in weeks.  It's huddling in a moldy doorway waiting for some scary uniformed personage to check over one's "papers."  After one hearing I could not bear to listen to it anymore.  The last track, the elderly Jean Fournet's cheerfully calm voice in a late 1990's interview with Guy Dumazert in lovely enthusiastic French -- I don't comprehend the language, alas -- came as a comforting relief, which I kept on Play just to chase the circa 1943 despair out of the room.


title: Lance/Gorr 1964 Werther the BEST Recording of the Opera Ever!

text:
When I received this long-sought-after cd in the mail, I delayed a couple of days in playing it, but today got around to listening and I was -- well, to say I was floored, my jaw dropped, I was elated just isn't enough to express my feelings about this wonderful studio recording made in Paris in 1964.  Nope, I don't think many have had "heard of" Albert Lance, but he definitely deserves to be heard, a youthful (for once), lyrical Werther, desperate without sounding overwrought.  And Rita Gorr's rich, plummy, dark mezzo soprano  puts an extra poignancy to Charlotte's character.  I can even stomach Mady Mesple's admittedly very pretty voice in the obnoxiously silly soubrette role of teenage sister Sophie.  (why did Massenet waste time writing such vapid music for such a vapid character?).  As for the rest of the music -- the lush orchestration is superlative, each detail pointed up by conductor Jesus Etcheverry which just isn't heard in even the latest (1990s?) cd studio recordings; furthermore, not only the singers' pronunciation but the actual style and manner is authentically very French; a listener will immediately recognize that.

 The only other such "truly French" recordings happen to be the classic 1931 set with Georges Thill and Ninon Villan, and an obscure but lovely offering on a small budget LP label (definitely never making it to cd), Urania/Artia, also from Paris, in 1953, featuring Charles Richard, Suzanne Joyol, and Roger Bourdin as the Albert.  [A recollection:  some dopey clerk in the Cleveland Peaches Records and Tapes during the late 1970s referred to this little-known but very fine French tenor by saying his name with American English pronunciation, and looked like he wanted to hit me when 17 year old me corrected him with "Sharl Ree-shard."  Geez. ]

To go on, I own all complete sets of Werther from 1931-1980, including a Cetra LP set from 1954 --Tagliavini is the Werther -- which critics always believed was sung in Italian but is, in fact, sung in French, although in a definitely Italianate style.  Also I have a lovely set of selections with Cesare Valetti and Rosalind Elias -- another rare mid 1960s LP --  and I have listened to the couple of later sets released since then.  I can honestly say that with this definitive 1964 Paris interpretation with Lance and Gorr, collectors of this favorite Massenet opera can toss away, or better yet donate, ALL of their other Werther recordings, save for the 1931 Thill and 1953 Richard.

 Regarding later Werther recordings, Gedda's over-rated; so was Kraus, who could put it across but never had any personality on any studio recording I ever head.  The Domingo and Carerras are there just because Werther was being revived everywhere in the late 1970s, but you need not bother with them, so lacking are they in French interpretation for style, even for the era 40 years ago.  If you love Massenet and can get your hands on this recording, do.  It is well worth it.

title: The Real Deal

text: Finally! I’ve bought many editions of the Decca audition over the years. But, only with this CD did I finally find what I was looking for—all 15 tracks in good sound! So, if sound quality matters to you, look no farther; this is the one to get.


title: Wonderful background music!

text:
About two years ago my husband gave me this CD for Christmas. I was surprised because I am not particularly a fan of classical music. However, I play this CD all the time when I am reading. It is wonderful background music when played at low volume and helps me to concentrate on what I am reading. I have enjoyed this CD so much that I bought another classical music CD for reading for myself. I have several friends who love to read and wanted to purchase a copy for two of them as gifts, but it was a little more expensive than I wanted to spend so I bought other classical music for reading CD's for them. Everyone loves them and another friend told me to tell her husband that she wants a copy for Christmas.

I also put this CD on as background music when we have guests. I have been surprised at how much I have enjoyed this CD. It was a really thoughtful gift. Whoever came up with this concept, hit on a gold mine!

title: "Cool breeze on a razor's edge."

text: These 3 Ladies are very talented creating great harmonies and melodies- with a social/political edge.  In my limited vocabulary in music, their style sounds like a cross between the Indigo Girls, Crosby-Stills-Nash, and Ani Difranco.  The  title track (American Dream) is a stunner.


title: Absolutely Beautiful

text: If you like music so beautiful it hurts, get this CD. I was just at her concert in NY last night and it was phenomenal. Her beautiful voice and tasteful arrangements make this CD a must. Intimate and sultry. Can't miss it.

text: I saw this orchestra perform three times. Although the orchestra disbanded in 2013, the music is timeless. This was a very professional group in every way.

text: Wonderful music.  Brings back memories of school days.  Beautifully performed.


title: Five Stars

text: Beautiful voice and meaningful interpretation of the texts and music. Great message at the end of the recording.


I enjoyed most of what took place with Elvis' music.  I did really like how his voice was more up front but a little disappointed on some of the backing harmonies that were way back in the mix and either disappeared.  Adding some additional instruments was fun to listen to on most songs.  The song She's Not You went from a pop song to country.  Fever still had that bluesy sound but felt like I was hearing it in a dingy lit night club.  The song Suck On You didn't work for me.  Some songs when adding an extra instrument (sax on this one) all of a sudden sounded like to many notes where playing and getting in the way.  Overall it was fun to listen to and I would recommend it to Elvis fans.

text: I love this CD. I listened to my first copy so many times I wore it out! This is my second. It just makes a spaciousness inside me, gives my spirit room to spread out, stretch!

title: An excellent follow up to It's Kind of a Cute Story

text: What a treat to hear Rolly tell his many Disneyland stories! You gain so much more appreciation hearing someone tell their stories versus reading them.  I've never had the good fortune to meet Rolly but I feel like I could sit down and just chat with him for hours about Walt and Disney related things after listening to this.  Rolly tells it like it is (or was) without looking through rose colored glasses (the animator's talent level doing caricatures at Disneyland made me laugh at loud).  This CD is chock full of stories I hadn't heard before (and I've read just about everything there is on Walt and Disneyland).  Neat stories on Walt Disney, Ken Anderson, Emile Kuri, Bill Evans, Disneyland Lessees, Ron Dominguez, Bob Gurr, Disneyland's early days, maintaining Disneyland, kids getting high at Disneyland and much more.  The CD flies by and leaves you wanting to hear more stories when it ends (and hopefully he and Jeff are working on volume 2).  You can hear how Walt really impacted Rolly on how things ought to be done in many ways through out the CD.  Rolly really knew what Walt would do even if management didn't and I'm sure that made Walt proud of Orland. If you're a Disney/Disneyland fan you need to pick up this CD and if you haven't read "It's Kind Of A Cute Story" you need to buy both the book and CD.  Thanks for putting these stories out Rolly, it's much appreciated!  Now off to a slice of apple pie and a shot of Jack Daniels.

title: "Tesoros De Coleccion" is true.

text:
This 3CDs set is Vikki's Spanish collection.
I have most of her CDs. Of course I thought that I knew her many songs.
However, there were some music that I did not yet know. I looked forward to it at the same time.
This seems to be the treasure which I found accidentally.


title: Vikki's Hits Album and one of my favorites.

text:
Even if the same music is recorded as for the album of Vikki, there is pleasure for total constitution.
And the music that most music was well known is recorded in this CD.Only #15 truck is music to listen to for the first time.It is very good music of a light tempo.
This CD is a re-mastered limited Edition, and sound quality is good.
Vikki is always splendid at all.


title: 2CDs album of Vikki great as ever.

text:
A set of two pieces of CDs that this was released in 2007 by Sony Mexico.
As it was released newly, sound quality of recording is extremely good.
I can listen to recorded music of her comfortably.
For example, "Esos hombres" is very impressive, and Charm of Vikki is  from beginning to end.


title: Young Vikki has good mood.

text: All tunes are in English and this CD is best hit Album.My favorite songs are "FOR GET YOU","UNFORGETTABLE","CAN I TRUST YOU?","I WILL WAIT FOR YOU". Other songs are excellent too. She will be a singer of what a great ability.


title: My first Vikki's item

text:
I bought this LP for the first time, and it became a fan of Vikki.

However, I did not expect that she grew up to be a present wonderful singer.

She is very good at taking in and singing feeling to a song. This is her message from the bottom of heart.


title: Great two singers

text: Both singers have splendid voices and music, and I listen songs of Vikki much more from July, but all two of them are high with popularity / ability and can be proud of having this CD. Songs are almost very good for enjoyment.


title: Awesome tunes

text: Loved every one of the 11 tracks and could see every one of them released as singles. Super smooth blending of Dan and Shay's voices with the quality of harmony just as good as Lady A's.

title: Happy with this purchase and happy to recommend you do the same!!

text: I am very happy to have purchased this collection of songs played by a master guitarist.

This is a compendium of beautiful music masterfully executed; I recommend it without reservations.

title: Another Les Baxter Soundtrack

text: The soundtrack collector (and fan)listen to film soundtracks which may or may not be trend-setting or merely enjoyable; for the simple fact that they have not been available for many years. Cervantes is a decent soundtrack by a legendary composer. Whether you think it is worthwhile listening to is pretty subjective. In the Les Baxter vein it is a decent release, and worth your attention.


title: A different take on holiday classics

text: I pull this out every year and listen to it.  Some funky beats, minor keys, and ample electronica.  "Hark, the Herald Angels" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" with pumping bass lines.  Not every song works, but enough to make it an enjoyable listen.

title: Marian Music Through the Liturgical Year

text: We have enjoyed listening to this CD for years! It includes Marian anthems, hymns, and songs for the great seasons of the church's liturgical year. From Advent to Candlemas, the highlight is "There is no rose of such virtu"; from Candlemas to Holy Week, two Russian works by Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky emphasize the Eastern church's devotion to the Mother of God; from Easter to the Sunday after Pentecost, Charles Wood's arrangement of "Hail! Blessed Virgin Mary" (Italian), Pierre Villette's "Hymne a la Vierge" (French), and Giles Swayne's "Magnificat" with African rhythms and melodies, demonstrate the universal love of the Blessed Virgin Mary; from Trinity to Advent, two works by Victoria bring us back to Roman Catholic emphasis on Mary's role in the Incarnation and the Church. Beautiful voices; prayerful and moving.

text: This CD is sitting in my Easter Basket, can't wait to hear it, I am familiar with this group, so I will totally enjoy it.


title: Heartbreaking, but sends a necessary message

text: This documentary gets to the heart of homelessness and without a doubt will move you. There are poignant interviews with previously homeless and currently homeless individuals who share their stories of how easily they went from hard-working citizens with stable incomes, to having no place to sleep at night. Beyond the stories, there are substantial interviews with local experts, people who work for organizations like Amos House and Crossroads, here in Rhode Island. They explain statistics and facts and dispel many myths and stereotypes surrounding homelessness. If you live in Rhode Island, I highly recommend that you watch this film and educate yourself on an epidemic happening RIGHT HERE at home. And if you live elsewhere-- this is most certainly a worthwhile documentary to watch, if for no other reason than to understand the core issues of homelessness and to understand how easy it would be for any of us to slip into the world of homelessness.


title: 1998 reissue of the Master Musicians and Brion Gysin recordings

text:
In 1954 Brion Gysin operated The Thousand and One Nights, a Tangier restaurant, "in order to hear the musicians of Jajouka every night for the rest of my life."  That bond remained even as Gysin went on to other things; eventually, in 1968, Gysin himself would introduce Brian Jones to the musicians and be involved in the recording of "The Pipes of Pan at Jajouka," released in 1971 by the Rolling Stones.

According to a note from Paul Bowles included in this SubRosa re-issue, he recalls bringing a tape recorder and capturing performances by the master musicians. Bowles writes: "Brion was wildly enthusiastic about the music, but he was not sure about my recording it" -- ironic, considering Gysin's later sound experiments and ever-present Uher tape-recorder. He must have had a change of heart: the disc's producer writes in the liner notes that 'Brion  gave me 23 reel-to-reel tapes that he recorded himself" before Gysin died in 1986.

This two-disc set presents two aspects of Gysin's Tangier stay. The first disc is an edited hour-long recording of the master musicians. The performance is intimate and energetic, almost sounding like wild chamber-music for Tangier's international set. This is not the 24-hour-long pipes of Pan -- but it is mysterious, sometimes frantic, and otherworldly, qualities enhanced by the obvious on-site recording. Presented here without titles or text, translation or lyrics, the music  remains as inscrutable as Gysin would have wished, and just as mesmerizing.

"Dilaloo," Gysin's 1955 recitation inspired by the rites of Pan, is on the second disc. It is included here with an added, improvised musical accompaniment by producer Ramuntcho Matta. Gysin's poem recreates the ritual of initiation and transformation in the village of Jajouka. His reading has moments of force and power, an incantation that mirrors the swirling rhythms on the first disc. It's also a fascinating attempt at putting the ineffable into words. While the music of Jajouka speaks for itself, on their own Gysin's words are as much an explanation as the listener could ask of this strange and powerful music. This re-issued set has slipped out-of-print: in a twist on the increasing popularity of other artists associated with the beat generation, Gysin's legacy remains as  elusive as ever.


title: On the Move review

text: Bill Tole was a number one studio player for many years; tired of the rat race and now makes cd's, teaches and has the Jimmy Dorsey Band.  This a great example of playing in a dance style with a new fresh aproach.  Highly recommend.<br />Dealer sent as advertised.


title: Woody the Magnificent

text: How could you go wrong with Woody Herman? Recorded during the peak of the 'Modern Herd' days, all is presented as only Woody could do.  Product was as seller described and was shipped and received in an appropriate amount of time.


title: Master dual-pianists in excellent performances of little known Dvořák masterpieces!

text: I have this duo's performances (also on the Price-Less label) of Brahms's Hungarian Dances (on a CD also featuring Moszkowski's Spanish Dances Op. 12). If you understand the appeal of four-handed piano playing, then don't hesitate to purchase either disc (BTW: the Veri-Jamanis duo have also given excellent performances of Gerswhin). Just sample the first two of Dvořák's Legends -- you'll find these performances are as lively, poetic, and lyrical as you would hope Dvořák's music to be.


title: Seger Unplugged

text:
Brand New Morning is Bob Seger's fourth album and is interesting in that it is an acoustic album unlike anything previously done by Seger or anything he has done since then.

Prior to Brand New Morning, Seger was best known for hard rock music, his third album Mongrel probably being the best example.  To fulfill a contractual obligation with Capitol records, Seger released Brand New Morning, a folksy songwriter kind of album, supposedly recorded in Seger's home.  The album features Seger on piano and acoustic guitar doing all the vocals.  While Bob Seger has since disowned the album, it features several really nice tracks including the title track, "Railroad Days" and "Song for Him" a tribute to Jesus Christ.

While likely  a disapointment to fans who expected him to continue in the vein of his earlier efforts, Brand New Morning is an early showcase for Seger's exceptional song writing skills that would become evident in his later albums.  Railroad Days in particular as fine a ballad as any of his later work.  It is interesting to see a then quite young Bob Seger contemplate getting old.

This album is a must have for the hard core Seger fan.  Unfortunately it is only available in CD-R bootlegs or pricey used vinyl albums.  It is sad Bob Seger continues to disown this fine album as it has aged quite gracefully, better so than a lot of his early work.

Patrick Ourceau, Dana Lyn, Cillian Vallely, Brendan Dolan, Brian Holleran, Tony Davoren, Ivan Goff, Aidan Brennan, Steve Johnson, Susan McKeown and Chris Layer brought some amazing Irish sessions to a small bar in NY with classic session sets.


title: Another solid Nine Inch Nails album from the newer healthy Trent era

text:
Ah, yes, the free NIN album. i paid for it regardless, because i am a fan of Trent Reznor and NIN, because i prefer to have physical copies of my music and artwork collection, and i am a musician myself (meaning, i wish to compensate fellow artists). So i am entirely biased in my opinion of this release and this album. How could i give an objective review?

• If you like prior albums "With Teeth" and "Year Zero", there are tracks here you will like. While those albums are rather oppositional in style, this album seems to come from a collection of songs originally meant for those other two albums. That doesn't mean that this album is not coherent or cohesive. It IS. It's just stylistically reminiscent of those other two albums.

• Related to the point above: the lyric content continues to be in the more political and self-reflecting realm, unlike the first four NIN albums which were more about personal relationships and anger/misery. The sounds are less composite and artificial than what you'd find in "Year Zero", and more like a synth rock band sound found in "With Teeth", but still not really a band sound, and still heavy with synths. If 2014's "Hesitation Marks" was a bit too light for you, this is probably more like the NIN you expect, but you should therefore already own it. [shrug]

• The packaging was nice. i bought mine direct, not through Amazon, so i don't know what YOU will receive. Mine came with art stickers. Feel free to comment on my review to tell others if those don't come with the Amazon purchase.

title: E.B. White’s narration is key

text: E.B. White narrates this story in deadpan humor, making the dialogue come alive as only the author could. I avoided this story for decades, bought it for my kids and loved it.


title: Finally, here it is!

text: Finally, here it is the so wanted cd by Andrea Piazza. I have been trying to get this cd for so many years. I have known Andrea for so many years and been one of his fans since I saw him playing his harp in San Gimignano, Tuscany almost 17 years ago. I fell in love with his harp and his music and bought a cassette and another cd, "Tirtaganga". Now I can finally listen to one of my favorite harp players. Andrea, all your fans are waiting for a new cd.

title: Five Stars

text: Excellent.


title: Impressed

text: Honestly, I didn't even read the description before I bought this CD.  I expected a simple orchestration of the music from the game.  Luckily, I am a fan of jazz, and I really like what they did with this music.  The quality of the recording is top-notch.  Be sure to grab this before they're all gone.  You don't want to miss this, especially if you're a Chrono Trigger fan or complete-ist.

title: The Great Performer Release his 80th Album

text:
Since his first album in 1956, Ramsey Lewis And The Gentlemen Of Swing, Ramsey Lewis has captivated audience with his style, compositions and selections that reflect his Gospel influences from his youth and his classical training.

By the mid sixties, Lewis was one of the most successful Jazz musicians on the planet and still topping the pop charts while other jazz greats fell from favor in the pop music world. In 1966, Lewis and his band performed "The `IN' Crowd" a song written by Billy Page and a number 13 pop hit for Doby Gray. Ramsey Lewis and his Trio cut an instrumental version, with Lewis on his trade mark Steinway Grand. Their jazzy take, recorded live in a Washington, D.C. night club, reached #5 on the Billboard charts. On the success of this single, Ramsey turned away from the traditional jazz and concentrated on more jazzy pop songs. In `66 he formed the new trio with Cleveland Eaton and Maurice White (who would soon leave to form Earth, Wind and Fire). He went on to record "Hang On Sloopy", and "Wade in the Water". All three singles each sold over one million copies, and were awarded gold discs.

As the `70s dawned, Lewis updated his sound and by 1974 he was reunited with Maurice White and released Sun Goddess. Earth, Wind and Fire brought a funk/soul touch to the album and Lewis covered Stevie Wonders Tune, "Living For The City". The album became a huge cross-over hit, charting #1 on the Billboard Black Albums chart as well as the Jazz album chart. The album also charted #12 in the Pop chart. While the album charted in the top 15, the songs "Hot Dawgit" and "Sun Goddess" charted in the Black Singles, the Pop Singles, and the Disco singles charts. Sun Goddess has been certified gold.

I was lucky enough to catch him in the mid `80s with his acoustic trio and was astounded by the control, the delivery on the Steinway and the flat out cool. Because of this cross over success, his records drew sales and concert crowds from non-jazz fans. In the 1970s, Lewis often played electric piano, although by later in the decade he was sticking to acoustic and using an additional keyboardist in his groups to cover any electric keys that a song might require.

Ramsey Taking Another Look has Lewis playing the Fender Rhodes Piano for the first time in fifteen years and to be honest, as much as I loved the electric stuff, the funk, fusion, pop and disco from the `70's, I was ready to be disappointed. Firstly, it wasn't with a large group but with a typical jazz quintet. The result? Maybe his best album since the `70s. maybe one of the top two or three albums of his jazz era. The album is great. That control and expression Lewis is famous for on a Steinway Grand does not fade away in the least on this electric set.

Ramsey Lewis and his Electric Band "Living For The City"
The album breathes new life in to a body of work that has covered nearly 60 years. Included on the album is a new rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Living For The City" which is just outstanding. He also includes a new edit of the original "Sun Goddess" featuring Earth, Wind and Fire.  This was a breath of fresh air and made me fall in love with the mans music all over again.

Ramsey Lewis will be touring now and throughout 2012. You can check dates on Ramsey's website. If you get a chance to catch him in concert, don't pass it up. And pick up the CD as this is outstanding jazz from a master of the form.


title: poor play quality

text: the cd's are poor quality.  very poor play.  hard to listen to.  it is not the content . it is the cd quality.  they skip.  all of them.


title: Don't Be Fooled By The Cover Art!

text: It's too bad that CANDY ROCK never got a US release, for, despite the super kawaii cutesy cover art, it's a solid rock effort squarely in the Shonen Knife tradition. A couple of other things that may put off US fans:<br />none of the songs are sung in English (unusual for a SK Japan release), and the entire CD lasts only half an hour. No matter, as there's some great stuff to be heard on CANDY ROCK. MASS COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN, MESSY ROOM, CROSS WORD and NAZO are standout rockers. WONDER LAND has a Neil Young-ish country feel, and the disc's final tune, MONKEY BRAND OOLONG TEA, is just lovely. I'll restate my position that Shonen Knife is among the most underappreciated bands on Earth...get this while you can.


title: New Old Sound

text:
One of my favorite albums.  First heard these guys in the 80's on their Liberty Flyer radio show.
Love at first listen!
No One Takes the Train Anymore, In The Heart of The Mountain, are fantastic. Without You is a masterpiece of old timey mountain sound.


title: Very disappointing & not in the least humorous

text: I've read that the Goons inspired one of my favorites, Monty Python. After listening to this CD I find that hard to understand. Much of this is unintelligible  with the very poor sound quality & heavy British accents. However, none that I could understand was even the least humorous.


title: A guitar for every piece and mood, including BAMBOO! All played by a true guitar virtuoso.

text: Michael Chapdelaine is amazing! His playing is honest virtuoso without showiness... This album is amazing too.  The first 5 tracks were composed by him, of these, the first 2, Rain Dance and Sol y Cervesa are particularly fine. He plays with feeling and joy. The remaining pieces include Albeniz, Tarrega and Sor, are familiar but not over done classics. This is a great album as well as a showcase for Yamaha... Each piece features a different guitar, including an amazing bamboo guitar used for Sol y Cervesa. If you have a guitar player, enthusiast, or student looking to buy a Yamaha guitar, this is the album.


title: Omigod!! This is fantastic

text: This is an outstanding collection of his music from early works to later pieces. Go to album for total immersion in this sound!


title: Another Outstanding Collection

text: You never get tired of listening to Kim Hyun Joong’s music. More, give me more!


title: Happy music !!

text: This is absolutey a beautiful product. The book is lovely, the dvd is wonderful to watch and the music is heavenly. It is rhythmic and hopeful sounds together with the most poignant love song (Oasis) I have ever heard. This voice is angelic and mesmerizing.


title: Hudson River Gems

text: I bought this CD while traveling in the Hudson Valley area.  I had never heard of Rich Bala, but I like to buy CDs of local music wherever I go.  This lived up to my expectations and then some.  Rich is a truly compelling performer, and many of the performances haunt me.  I have been unable to get "Last Winter was a Hard One" out of my mind for days, as happened with "Sailing Down my Golden River" a little while earlier.  Bala takes these songs and puts you inside them.  Probably the best singer of folk ballads since Burl Ives.


title: listen over & over

text: This is rich, peaceful, grand and lovely all at the same time.  The kind of CD you will listen to over & over and never tire of it.  I play this in my art gallery and it sets the perfect mood.  Highly recommend.


title: Drowning Pool's Green Album with a little help from the Abecedarians!

text:
Just to clarify as I have in my reviews of Drowning Pool's Aphonia, Satori and Untitled LPs that this is the original Drowning Pool band that formed in 1984 in the Los Angeles area and released a number of cassettes, vinyl records and even a CD.
The Green Album opens up with "Romans" laced with heavy drums, bass and screeching guitars that would preview things to come with their 1989 Aphonia release. Jon Thomas drums keeps the chaos in order while Andrew Crane's aggressive vocals rise to the top. "What of Singing Birds" has to be one of the most beautiful tracks in Drowning Pool's extensive catalog. The moves along at a steady pace with what sound like "crying guitars". "Open Palms" follows with similar wailing guitars and with tribal like percussion provided by Jon Thomas. "Pogrum" throws a curve with the introduction of spooky sounding keyboards riding on top of Jon's pulsating Native American sounding beat.
Side Two opens with "Broken Jawed Woman Sings" brings Dead Can Dance with intense vocal manipulation provided by guest, Kirra Vollman (of Non Credo). Towards the end of the track Andrew Crane's vocals connect with Kirra's to close out this Speaking in Tongues style track. "New Tremblin' Fingers" has the driving energy and sound of early Savage Republic material (think "O Andonis") and like the mentioned Savage Republic track, it runs about 2 minutes. "Edith, Hold Out Your Hand" which has to be the stand out track on this album is where fans of early 80's goth music movement will take note with the music reminding me of early Siousxie and the Banshees. "P.E. 26" is another very experimental piece on this album encouraging the listener to either burn some sage or incense. Maybe this practice should be done before the start of the listening experience. "Paradise Found" brings the album full circle with a hint of sadness throughout yearning for the days of youth long gone. Fans of the Abecedarians, For Against, Savage Republic, Psi-Com, Red Temple Spirits, Dead Can Dance, Joy Division take note of this buried gem. .
This album was produced by Drowning Pool themselves with the assistance of a R.P. McMurphy (aka Chris Manecke of the Abecedarians)


title: Los Angeles' original 80's band Drowning Pool's double LP masterpiece!

text:
First off, this is the original Drowning Pool based out of Los Angeles during the mid-1980s-not to be confused with the nu-metal band that emerged from Texas in the late 1990's. Satori was released in 1987 and features a collection of previously cassette only material from Drowning Pool from their 1984-1986 years. Drowning Pool was formed in 1984 and was part of the Los Angeles underground art rock scene and played local venues billed with other bands like Savage Republic, Abecedarians, Psi-Com (Perry Farrell's pre-Janes Addiction band), Red Temple Spirits. "Petit Malfacteur" opens up with ambient sounds  and thundering guitars that remind me of a Ennio Morricone spaghetti western soundtrack. "Ritual Regeneration / Toy Soldiers" continues the Morricone sounds (reminding me of "

La Resa Dei Conti -Music Clock" from the Clint Eastwood spaghetti western For a Few Dollars More!). Andrew Crane's vocals keep the listener in suspense throughout both tracks with his rambling lyrics. "NierikaOftten thrown into the gothic category, Drowning Pool's music was far from depressing. The vocals may be haunting but you can feel the emotions and turmoil that vocalist Andrew Crane was experiencing. There are obvious influences going back to Joy Division / early New Order, Dead Can Dance, and the 4AD record label sound. "Festival of Healing" is simply a beautiful song that sounds a bit uplifting. The percussion, guitar, and bass swirl with melodies and rhythms leaving the listener breathless. "Fired from Within" is one of the instrumental tracks that shows of Drowning Pool's experimental side even using keyboards. "You Are My Rescue" gives a sense of Native American Indian sounds that band was very fond of. Andrew Crane's vocals once again go hand in hand with the bouncing percussion and guitar playing on this track. "Master Bebra" shows the darker sound that the band was aiming for and that appealed to the goth listeners at the time. "Ghirlandaio's Apprentice" has a warped carnival sounds of it with military chants in the background. Somehow, this track doesn't fit on the album but it works! Another instrumental, "Malcualay Call", closes the album nicely. Sidenote: Satori has been digitally remastered and edited for CD making both the original vinyl edition and newly remastered essential to one's alternative rock music collection.


title: Great gothic industrial comp featuring many long lost great bands!

text: This is a nice introduction to the underground Gothic industrial music coming out at the close of the 1980's. The CD opens with a personal favorite band of mine (seek out Drowning Pool's Aphonia, Satori, and Green Album if you can find them to get more or less of this material). The track featured by Drowning Pool is "Black Baghdad" taken off their Aphonia release. The Heavenly Bodies track will appeal to fans of Cocteau Twins with Caroline Seaman's haunting vocals. The Front Line Assembly track takes this compilation in an industrial. This CD is a great introduction to great underrated groups like: The Legendary Pink Dots, Beautiful Pea Green Boat, Controlled Bleeding, Psyche and others. Much of the material by these bands is long lost and quite expensive to find on-line nowadays in physical form. The Dr. Death series was never a let down and introduced me to many artists I would've never known about otherwise. Purchase this CD and listen to it while cruising by your nearest cemetery.


title: Dark themed industrial techno that will make you fear the dark!

text: One of the very few Wax Trax releases that never left my collection. I find myself picking this CD out of my collection and putting it in my player even though I know it will make me uncomfortable. The music and lyrics are themed around humanity's darkest corners. Adi Newton's vocals are very sinister sounding. Sometimes the vocals are whispered. Other times they are spoken/sung with an authority that grabs your attention. This CD is loaded with extra tracks not found on the original LP. I had gotten so used to listening to my original vinyl LP that these bonus tracks both take and take away, the original listening experience. I actually find that the two instrumental tracks offer an even dark mood as they solely use movie samples to strike fear in your heart! The track "Connection Machine" uses Gene Hackman's nightmare dialogue from the 1974 flick "The Conversation". The other track "The Sonology of Sex" uses samples from the 1971 movie titled "Klute". Getting back to the original album tracks, you'll find the track "The Unseen" using movie samples from 1951 sci-fi horror flick "The Thing From Another World" with Adi Newton whispering his lyrics over eerie piercing rhythms and keyboards. Dean Dennis provides electronic bass that keeps all this madness together. My personal favorite tracks are "The Reign" with its haunting keyboard sound and "The Act" which picks the pace up. The packaging of this release, alone, will make things uneasy. The cover of the album brings to mind the opening scenes of the terrifying movie "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer". Other people who I've played this album for have all told me that this release makes them feel uneasy. I think listening to this album is about as close as to the dark side as you'd like to get. Keep a glass of holy water close by and you should be okay. All in all an awesome listening experience, especially considering the year this album originally came out which was 1989.


title: A lost overlooked gem from 1989! Fans of Savage Republic, Abecedarians, For Against rejoice!

text: This CD blew me away when I picked it up 20 years ago and still holds up today! First of all, to clear up any confusion this is Drowning Pool from Southern California who formed in 1984, not the nu-metal band out of Texas that formed in 1999. The music on this disc is all instrumental (hence the title Aphonia) with exception of vocal samples taken from various movies (done much in the line of Skinny Puppy, Tackhead and all those great industrial bands of the 1980's). Fans of the old Los Angeles underground scene will appreciate this CD and should discover it, if they haven't already. Drowning Pool toured and played with bands like the Abecedarians, Savage Republic, Red Temple Spirits and For Against. The music on this disc is hard to describe but it never gathered dust in my collection as I play this CD often. Some tracks like "Black Baghdad" and "The Italian Pop Song" have appeared on various compilations. Seek out their first album aka The Green Album and Satori with great vocals by Andrew Crane for further proof!


title: The best Mash-up mix out there IMHO!

text:
After 3 years of searching, I finally managed to find a legitimate sealed copy! I was skeptical at first because it's quite difficult to tell a legitimate copy from a bootleg copy unless you see the actual physical CD!! (Legimate copies have shiny silver text on disc plus the transparent "stars" in the CD inner ring. Anyway, from start to finish this is quite an enjoyable mix of a variety of styles! I'd never thought I'd live to see the day of hearing the "Girl From Impanema" playing right on top of "Planet Rock" instrumental! Then going so smoothly with Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time"!! There so many moments like this throughout the CD that it's well worth the 3 years of searching out this strictly limited disc (only 1,000 copies pressed!!). The little spoken parts throughout the disc are funny. My personal fav is hearing the guy from the Twisted Sister video "who are you? where do you come from? are you listening to me? what do you wanna do with your life!" bit. I almost crashed my car when this part came on!!

I would say this is the BEST MASH-UP CD in my collection for sure!


title: This is the 70's Los Machucambos not the 60's as the cover depicts!

text: I purchased this CD thinking that this would feature their music from their 60's Phase 4 London Records era but upon listening realized that this is the 70's era group instead. In fact, I actually own the 2xLP from 1979 that this CD is represents. The 2xLP is simply titled Los Machucambos and was released in France. The medley's are full on 70's disco ball sounding versions complete with strings and the disco beats! The only reason I am giving this release 2 stars is that it's quite difficult to track any Los Machucambos pre-80's material on CD! I would only hope that some label would step forward and start releasing the classic Phase 4 London material. I also own the Tendres Annees 60 CD that features their Phase 4 material but the songs are the MONO versions, not the STEREO version. This baffles me as their stereo versions are simply amazing IMHO.


title: Detroit back in the house! Derrick May lives on..............

text: I can't stop listening to this CD-it's that good! When I listened to it for the first time it brought back all those feelings of listening to Derrick May's Innovator for the first time. There's that icy cold percussion of May's "Strings of Life" throughout this CD. The strings sounding synths from "Khaotic Harmony" and "Winter on the Blvd" play in the background. Early Rotation Records sounds of Dave Angel's classic like "Artech" and "Original Man" ring throughout. This CD is the very reason I defend techno against those who say it's not real music! Everything is real about this CD! Peace!

title: My mom is the female singer on the album!

text: Had to get this. My mom is the female featured singer on the Album. My grandfather was the Grand Potentate of the Al Malaikah Temple. We have one copy already but wanted another. Thanks!


title: Pretty good product, but fragile

text: This product works as stated and I have only had a few troubles with it, being that they are extremely fragile and I had 2 break on me while just re-inserting a bottle.


title: Yesterday's Best!

text: Grew up with this album in Brooklyn (NY).  If you want to know what early doo-wop/soul sounded like can NOT go wrong with this.  The songs are great.  The artists are great.  Sound may not be up to the super $100K systems of today but on my Decca portable back then transported to heaven.  Still sounds very good - and don't knock mono until you've tried it!


title: Four Stars

text: brought back some good memories

title: Pleased with product

text: I am very happy with my purchase of Paul Anka's Greatest Hits CD.  LOVE the songs!  As always, found it easily on Amazon.com - was even able to listen to the one song I was especially fond of!  It was shipped in a very timely fashion, as I received it not long after placing the order.  As always, Amazon.com hits the mark!!!!

text: It had mold...


title: keep up the good work. One of the best format of Tracy's ...

text:
Speedy delivery... keep up the good work.

One of the best format of Tracy's recordings....


title: A great find! Real-deal electric jazz fusion!

text: A group of extremely talented, unheralded musicians. Hard to find material, however, as the group seems to have disappeared. Worth what you may have to pay to aquire their catalogue though.


title: good music

text: this rating was chosen because doo wop is the music of my youth. I am appreciative of amazon because music is found that can't be purchased in the stores. And  older music is not as popular.


title: Broke

text: Cd and and case arrived broken.


title: Great extended version CD

text: I got this cd because I wanted the extended version of the song Shout by Tears for Fears. This extended version of this song is great!  The cd is in good condition and I got the cd on time too. I'm glad I got this cd!
