title: Beautiful, uplifting music.

text: I love this album.  I bought the tape years ago and my tape deck ate it years ago.  So I was happy to find the CD hear on Amazon.  To be honest I'm typically not a huge fan of this genre.  It is so easy to get it wrong, and a lot of artists do (for my taste anyway.)  But the Gibbons family did some beautiful work here.  If you are interested enough to be reading this review, you will like this CD.  :)

text: I loved it and it was everything I was expecting it to be!


title: Relax and unwind with the classics.

This album of CDs from the Reader's Digest Music collection is an album of 4 discs that are absolutelly
beautiful.  I have trouble getting to sleep at night and I put one of these discs on to softly play
in the background and within a short time I drift off to sleep.  It doesn't matter which disc I select as
the music on each disc is beautiful and soothing.  I have sleep apnea and the cpap machine the doctor
ordered for me didn't allow me to get to sleep. I turned it in and depended on what worked; this album
of beautiful classical music.  I would have to give this more than 5 stars.


title: Nice arrangements, well orchestrated.

text: Beautiful arrangements of hymns and religious songs.  Well orchestrated, well played, and well recorded. Excellent for what it is.


title: Glad I found this cd. Received it quickly and condition was as reported.

text: Was excited to find a copy of this cd as mine accidentally got broken and it is not being made anymore. It has some of my favorite versions of some folk dances that I do. Loved that it came quickly and I am once again able to dance to these songs.

title: Beware

text:
I'm not sure if there are two versions of this CD or what. I received a 2 CD version and it sounds terrible. The sound has no bass what so ever. On my home stereo I had to turn the bass all the way up and the treble all the way down to get a decent sound. In my car it sounded awful. Since I listen to my CDs in the car I just traded it in at Amoeba Records. I have bought 3 of these CDs on Amazon and this is the worst by far. I gave positive reviews for the Whiskey A Go Go and Its Good To Be Back In New York CDs.
I would like to add one more thing. One reviewer of this CD came to the conclusion that Led Zeppelin was a great studio band but not a great live band. Everyone has the right to their opinion but to base that opinion on this awful CD is a mistake. I saw Led Zeppelin twice. In 74 they were great. In 77 not so much. That is what heroin will do to your drummer and guitar player. Apparently they did have some good nights on the 77 tour though. I have heard Listen To This Eddie and it is quite good. Go to youtube and check out the MrLita1234 channel. His video Listen To This Eddie By Led Zeppelin is very informative. None of these unauthorized recordings are as good as How The West Was Won. I wish Jimmy Page would do his magic on some of these recordings.
Some other good youtube channels to check out are TheMetalTheolgian, Vinyl Richie and Scott Waters.

title: The Greatest Tribute

text:
Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy had particularly fine voices, and were excellent actors.  They not only sang, but acted the lyrics with the intensity of patriots as well as performers.  The rougher voices of the other Clancy Brothers fitted in well.  Several other singers are recorded, though Makem & the Clancys dominate.

This extraordinary set of two vinyl records and book is overwhelming in its intensity; half a century after the Rising it included interviews with volunteers as well as the speeches and music that evoke the Rising.

Now if CBS would only re-issue the records on CD!!


title: GREAT PIANO

text: Great cd ! Great piano playing ans a great selection of songs.. I'll make it a point to purchase othe Jeffrey Moore cd's.


title: Five Stars

text: very good


title: Five Stars

text: very good thank you


title: great set

text: this is just a great set to have. One of the best bands of the time, & they were teenagers, amazing.


title: Only enhances the Vibe!

text: I really enjoyed the immersive surround mix on this A.Parsons classic.  The textures created by the surround mix have a beautiful sheen to them.  I can't say that any one track is better than another or that I would have preferred different placements of the instruments in the mix.  It all seems to be put together so well.  I noticed that this one won the Grammy for best surround mix, so I'm curious to see if people agree with that choice.


title: Pleasantly surprised by how good it sounds.

text: Both of the albums included here are long-time favorites of mine, even though I always considered each of them to be lacking in the sound department.  The original mix of "Cantamos" on vinyl was  severely bass-shy to my ears and "Seven" always sounded muffled, and a little muddy sounding, at least on the more rocking tracks.  What a pleasant surprise, then, to have this new SACD, because I can now dial up the bass on Cantamos, and you can hear into the vocal harmonies - that is, I can distinguish Paul Cotton's voice from Timothy B. Schmit and George Grantham.  "Seven" is also a surprise as the guitars have more clarity and bite and those harmonies again!  Highly recommended for fans of the band.

text: I believe this is his second and last album, to bad because this guy plays some great guitar as he did on his first album, Mama Let Him Play. All the songwriting is good also, his songs come from the heart, some emotional stuff here too like Father Dear Father. The short but catchy All Over Me will stick with you for a while, or maybe make you think about somebody! They don't make music like this anymore grab Doucette while you still can. After i submitted this review i tried his website, yes he did make more albums. I will get them soon i hope, check him out, you won't be dissapointed!


title: Mozart never composed for the guitar, but. . . .

text: Giuliani sure must have studied Mozart because, if you like Mozart(and who doesn't), you will like Giuliani. These CDs are a good  bargain and a pleasant introduction to the music of Mauro Giuliani. The recording is relatively old(1975-1978 ADD) but the performances are fine(Pepe Romero in my mind is the best in the world today) and so is the sound.<br />A fine addition to anyone's classical CD collection.

title: The Perfect CD

text: It seems impossible that anything can be considered perfect but this CD by Jaime is perfect: his voice, the music, the mix of songs. An incredible experience, especially when listening to it with headphones on. I only wish his first CD, "Para Estar Contigo" were available again at a normal price. It's the one I don't have. But, buy this one before it's sold out.

title: I thought this 6CD set would be overkill.  It isn't!

text:
First of all, to any Czech or Slovak readers who might read this review, please forgive me for any factual errors and please correct them.

I became aware of Marta Kubisova via an anthology of recordings by Czech instrumental beat group Mefisto.  They backed her on a few of her recordings.  I enjoyed those songs and decided to look for some of her music.

The 3CD anthology entitled "Vyznani" contains gems but includes too high a proportion of her covers of western pop songs and one of the CDs is devoted entirely to her post-1989 recordings.  This is not what I was looking for as a westerner exploring a singer whose prime as a recording artist was during the 1960s until the Communist Czechoslovak regime shut her down in 1970.  I also purchased the English language single CD anthology "Ne!" which offers a booklet that I am able to read with helpful information about her career and her recordings.  The big problem with "Ne!" is the song selection.  The program is far too focused on what the compiler considers to be rock and soul material.  From a handful of the more orchestral or jazz-oriented tracks included on "Vyznani" I knew that "Ne!" was almost certainly mistakenly bypassing most of her best work.

"Zlata Sedesata" is the one to choose.  All 6 CDs are filled with her 1960s recordings, plus one heartbreakingly awesome dub off of radio (I think) from 1978 which just serves to show what great records she would have been making during that decade if she'd been permitted.  Like the U.K.'s Helen Shapiro, Marta was a contralto who obviously learned her craft singing jazz and pre-rock material.  She benefited from being a little older than Shapiro with a smokier voice.  She wasn't pressured to play the "gee, aren't I precocious?" schtick like Shapiro.  And being slightly older her phrasing and delivery were often more subtle than Shapiro's.  Like the U.S.'s Jackie DeShannon, Marta could move effortlessly from pre-rock pop to jazz to early rock yeh-yeh to soul to big Tony Hatch-style pop.  Also like DeShannon, she audibly escaped from the usual record company Svengali-like control imposed upon female singers of the era.  Being European she was adept at the delivery of glorious giant Euro-ballads of the type associated with Italy's preeminent female singer Mina.  But unlike Mina, Marta unquestionably looked across the Atlantic for some of her inspiration, probably as far west as San Francisco.  And being Central European and Slavic she could inject an eastern exoticism none of her western contemporaries could touch.  "Zlata Sedesata" presents the listener with this awe-inspiring postwar musical panorama.

The 6 discs are arranged with a proper anthologist's intelligence, but favoring an engaging program sequence rather than a chronological one.  There is a disc devoted to some of her recordings of songs by two leading Czech songwriters from the era.  There is another disc devoted to her songs recorded for the vibrant 60s Czech film industry.  There is a disc re-issuing her one and only album released in 1969.  (She also recorded as a member of vocal trio The Golden Kids.)  There are three generous discs of well-chosen sides from her reported 200 singles.  Even if you ruthlessly cull out the (I think) needless covers of familiar western pop songs as well as songs that personally don't appeal to you, you end up with a very large collection of superb 60's female vocalist pop songs.

Marta Kubisova is one of the greatest of her era.  Buy this with confidence.


title: Mr. James Brown 🎶🙏🏽

text: A great cd! The🎼 brings you back to the good old days when the 🎶 was popping! Music company’s bring back the real 🎼


title: Worth the money

text: Alisha's Attic delivers another brilliant set.  This import is definitely worth buying if you're a fan.  As always, the voices are beautiful and the lyrics are memorable.  Try it.


title: It's got "Silver Shoes"

text: finally able to get "Silver Shoes" and a couple of other songs from "There's The Rub" not otherwise available.


title: Obscure bands are worth taking a chance on.

text: Good music, but not quite what I expected. Regardless, this two-disc set is one of my go-tos when I get tired of repetitive corporate radio. That’s the chance I take when I buy an album from a band I’ve never heard of. It’s hit or miss. This one is OK, but just short of a hit.


title: Vinyl Transfer of Great Album from 1972

text:
Great Album!  Unfortunately this CD was mastered from a vinyl record, rather than a studio quality master tape.  The audible vinyl characteristics, while minimal (surface noise with a few mild clicks and pops throughout), was not what I was expecting from a CD at collector prices.  This is a nifty obscurity from the early 70s rooted in hippie folk and blues rock.  The Finnigan & Wood version of the Son House classic "Death Letter" may be the finest recorded by a rock artist (White Stripes included).  Other highlights include "Tend To Your Own Business", and a cover of Bob Dylan's "Down In The Flood".  The CD is essentially the Crazed Hipsters album that was originally issued on the Blue Thump Records in 1972, but the original running order of the songs has been shuffled.  All in all, I'm happy to have a digital copy, but I could have made my own copy of equal or better quality from my own record.

If you enjoy Finnigan & Wood, you will also like the Jerry Hahn Brotherhood record (originally released on Columbia Records in 1970), as well as "Early Bird Cafe" by The Serfs (Capitol Records 1968).  Both feature Mike Finnigan.


title: Symphonic Prog - with echoes of Camel, Caravan and Bo Hansson

text:
I was kindly sent a review copy of this CD by Dan Britton who is the mastermind behind this recording, and plays many of the instruments.
The CD is apparently "symphonic prog" - and certainly lives up to this classification.

A series of tracks lovingly named - such as "A Numbered Rat, A High Ledge, And A Maze Of Horizons" - unfurl in a complex series of tunes or maybe soundscapes - with a wide range of instruments above and beyond the usual guitars, keyboards and drums. I heard cellos, trumpets, flutes, saxophones, banjos, violins etc.

I am an ancient prog fan (from the late 60s with Van Der Graaf and King Crimson), so I am not terribly familiar with the realms of 21st Century Prog...(apart from the stunning Porcupine Tree - when Mr. Harrison is at the drums), so I can only compare this to stuff from the depths of the last century.

I hear echoes of
Camel - "The Snow Goose"
Bo Hansson - "Lord of the Rings"
Some of the less annoying parts of Yes's "Topographic Oceans"
Caravan - some of their longer improvised pieces

All of which mean the Deluge Grander CD is a Good Thing.
I have a feeling that this CD is actually the sound-track for an imaginary film - it has a sweeping epic quality to it.


title: My Favorite Christmas CD!

text: I've owned this cd for years, out of all my Christmas cd's I own (and I own a lot) this one's my favorite. It has a perfect mix and a nice blend of artists, the only thing it was missing was Baby It's Cold Outside. I pop this cd in the player, push play, and never fuss with having to skip a song. I stumbled across it when Starbuck's started to carry CD's in their stores, but this is the first time I found any mention about it online. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.


title: Prompt and Professional

text: Product came as advertised, quick and properly packaged. Very Happy . Nice addition to vinyl collection<br />Well done Vinylly Here


title: Jericho 1971 from Canada

text: Fantastic album! One of Todd Rundgren’s first productions. Canadian band that shortly disbanded after release. If you like music in style of The Band with humor, this is for you


title: Five Stars

text: just what I would expect from the man himself


Such great memories and feelings are associated with these albums! The words of every song resonate with me and after all these years I still know them by heart.  Upbeat and fun, and musically they stand up to current music of the genre and surpass much of it!  (this is not Stephen G. Olsen by the way)


title: Relaxation musci or women

text: I first heard this CD in my Yoga class.  Had to order it.  I enjoy listeing to the calming music.

text: 49.00 are you on crack?


title: SPOT THIS

text: I had heard of Karl from a Vince Mendoza discography, but this title wasn't on the list I saw. I ordered it anyway, sight unseen, or unheard, because I knew it featured another Mendoza original & a Jaco Pastorius tune that everyone likes, "Three Views of a Secret". I was not disappointed at all here, in large part due to the orchestration combining Karl's Hammond B3 organ, his brother on the drums, an electric guitarist, and the surprising bass trumpeter, swooping and diving throughout the proceedings. A very professional job turned in by all involved, including the recording!


title: Stormy Weather's still got it

text: This came out in 1998, but I'd never heard of it. Don Henley of Eagles fame produced it, and what caught my eyes, then my ears, was that Vince Mendoza was the Arranger/Conductor for this "live event". As with most recordings that involve Mr. Mendoza, I was not in the least disappointed. It all still sounds as fresh and lush as yesterday, though it dates back to 1998, or perhaps 1997. Of note are Joni Mitchell's set-closing title cut, and just before her smoky version, out comes (then)relative newcomer Bjork to smolder through "Gloomy Sunday", which I'd never heard before. Both women shortly after this event worked with Mendoza extensively on at least five albums I can think of, because those titles are all on my shelf. Thanks for passing it along through amazon!! JDW


I think this is a great collection of artists and songs.  The only song I don't enjoy so much is the Bjork contribution..... just not a fan.  But the rest of it is really good.


title: A Shimmering Gem

text:
I've got an extensive collection of CDs spanning multiple genres that I've ripped to my computer. This is the first CD that I deliberately used lossless compression on, because I didn't want to miss any subaudible bit on this masterwork of musical genius!

Besides kudos to the artists and everyone involved in this production, I have to give a marketing genius award to AT&T here. There is nothing in the history of free giveaways through the mail that matches this, at least in my experience. It was free as the AT&T Worldnet software was squeezed into a small space on the same CD. I will never part with mine. Contrast that with how many billions of America Online CDs have ended up in landfills. So, this CD represents environmental genius as well!

Completely unexpected, this CD blew me away from the first time I listened to it. 5 stars.

title: IF YOU BUY THIS, YOU WILL BE 10 SONGS CLOSER TO HEAVEN !

text:
THESE GALS CAN SING !  But rather than go on with another 5 star review on how grand each song, and performer is... I thought I'd mention the CD itself.  It was sent out as a promotional item from AT&T, for free. That's right back in the day before the cell phone boom,  you had to choose your long distance carrier; Sprint, or MCI, or in this case AT&T.  The envelpoe was not any special and it looked kind of like some sort of bulk mail advertisement.

  If fact I wouldn't be surprised if some people threw them out without even opening them.  That's why it's so hard to find a "new one", in most cases you had to open it to see what it was.  Unless your friend had AT&T also and already had opened their mail, and they told you to be on the look out for it.  Or, in my case I had two lines, so I got two CD's & only opened one, etc.  I hope that explains why this CD is so very hard to find new & unopened but even if you have to get one used, you won't be disapointed, this is an awesome CD !  Have Fun, ACE

title: Fantastic Jazz Vocals - Especially Bjork & Joni Mitchell!

text:
This rare compilation is a Diamond in the world of compilations!

The powerful and individually-styled female vocalists singing over a backdrop of beatiful orchestral-arranged jazz standards.

Bjork gives an incredible performance that is both on-key and unique.  She delivers powerfully and with reverence to the underlying somber emotion of the song. The live audience roars with approval at the songs conclusion.  Her performance is well received and rightfully so.  It is unfortunate that another reviewer was so narrow-minded in their desire for the musically mundane.  Bjork fans will be rewarded, and those unfamiliar will be introduced by a more controlled and introspective side of Bjork's bare, emotional style.

Each artist brings their own style to this great live recording.

This Hard-to-find disc is worth every penny!

text: Dwight - thank you for keep on a rockin - you are in my top ten!!


title: Classic Reggae Songs great for making political & sporting points!

text:
This compilation features some many great feel good reggae tunes from classic singer like Desmond Dekker & Jimmy Cliff. One of my favourite track from Desmond Dekker used by the Conservative Party as campaigning advert to great effect.

I love the song but not the political mileage by politicians! Apart from this, I found many excellent tracks - like The Liquidator by Harry J All Stars - used by Chelsea FC as pre-warm up song & for beans advert by Heinz. The final two tracks are great and I have played them as an intro & outro on my sports show on Burngreave Community Radio (BCR 103.1fm). Well worth buying & a must buy for your reggae collection.


title: Timeless Listening

text:
Steve Harley....... Where do you place a wild impetuous artist like Steve?  Full of himself, yet full of what works for some of us.  I was surprised when reading the liner notes to Timeless Flight to find Steve was responsible for the production as well as being sole composer.  I had imagined someone in a position of authority had taken charge  to ensure Timeless Flight did not soar into a space valued solely by the artist himself.

I have visited Timeless Flight on a regularly, if haphazard basis, over the past thirty something years and have found it an album of value and excitement each time.  Released at that particularly difficult time for non-reactionaries ~ 1976, it is neither prog or punk.  Timeless Flight is a variable experience that transplants you to a place where words and music have taken on a new identity.  What is a listener meant to read into "Red is a mean, mean colour"?

Side 1 opens with four songs that should satisfy anyone in search of a different, if disconcerting, experience.  You reach the end and wonder if any further engagement is possible, or required.  But I suggest you turn it over, lower the needle and off you go again.

Like the eponymous Ian Hunter album of the previous year, Timeless Flight finds Steve Harley in a place we want to revisit occasionally.

title: Essential for Fans of Ronstadt's "Big Band" Phase

text:
Throughout her career, and to her credit, Linda Ronstadt has taken a gamble on recording what she wanted to record regardless of the commercial outlook going in. Having thoroughly conquered rock radio in the mid-1970s, Ronstadt abruptly decided she wanted to record an album of what were then known as “standards” from the pre-rock era of pop music. The result was her album, “What’s New,” which defied all the odds and became a big seller.

Since then, many rock singers (Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney and others) have followed the path she blazed, but none have surpassed her in terms of output.

This album captures a radio broadcast of a brief tour she undertook to support the “What’s New” album that was broadcast from the Arlington Theatre in Boston in 1976. No, the audio quality is not up to what we now expect from live recordings. It’s a bit thin, lacking particularly along the bass end of the tonal scale. However, it still several cuts above what one might hear from bootleg recordings of live shows from that era.

I think it’s definitely worth owning, particularly if you’re a fan of this phase of Ronstadt’s career. She’s in great voice and backed superbly by the Nelson Riddle Orchestra and a full compliment of backup singers.

It’s a real “must have” for completists as she sings several songs that she never released in studio versions (including one she claims will be on the follow-up LP, “Lush Life," yet never made it to that album). These include “Keepin’ Out of Mischief,” “Daddy” (in an Andrews-Sisters-style arrangement), “I’ve Got a Guy in Kalamazoo,” “Dream (When You’re Feeling Blue)” and “Choo-Choo Ch’Boogie.” You also get a version of “Mister Sandman,” a song she later cut with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris.

So, as long as you know going in that the audio quality is really about a 7 out of 10, this is a live performance worth owning.


title: Wilbur Smith, Goldmine

text: I wanted the unabridged book.  I looked carefully to see if the book/CD was abridged, but I could not find such a statement.  Therefore, when I received it, and saw that it was abridged, I returned it.


title: yawn - avoid this dull solo effort

text: I feel really bad about this review. Jerry Douglas is a talented musician who has brought joy to the ears of countless listeners. When it comes to the 'A' list of dobro players, it's short -he's the only guy on it (since Cal Harris is still undiscovered). Douglas' twelve Grammys confirm this greatness. Almost all of the happiness that he has spread has been in the capacity as an accompanist. That written, he should stick to being an accompanist since his own musical vision is not worth sharing. As with his live shows, "Lookout for Hope" is bland and uninspiring. You'll be sadly disappointed if you're looking for the quality of music that Douglas plays with the likes of Sam Bush and Tony Rice. I came to this disc as an Americana enthusiast and a Frisellian; 'Lookout for Hope' is after all a Bill Frisell song. Jerry Douglas played on "Nashville," one of Bill's greatest albums. Even though Douglas jams out the title track, it somehow manages to get old quickly. The song writing is mediocre and with the exception of the title track, the song selection is unrewarding. Appreciate Douglas' incredible contributions as an accompanist but avoid this dull solo effort.


title: Oh Yeah

text: In case you have not been to New Orleans recently, you may not know what is going on musically. This CD represents the new/old sound of the Crescent City. Each track has emotion, sensitivity and gusto. The music just makes me smile, over and over.  This is a wonderful CD to wake up to.

title: Adam rules

text: This is the best single off the album.  One of the absolute best songs of 1999.  I listen to Adam's CD at least once a day & I'm always listening to Tell me Everything.  It is just such a good song.

title: Very gorgeous, flowing, calming and relaxing music.

text: The Piano Dreamer cd: This cd has different types of music choices, such as movie music. I adore the piano-orchestra combination. Wait until you hear, "Beauty and the Beast."  This is so beautifully breathtaking. . Ian is highly talented in all ways with his gorgeous piano playing along with the orchestra. His composing is just as amazing.And how he conducts while playing is also amazing. This cd and all his cd's are very calming and relaxing.  I am thankful to have found his music, finally...


title: Everything you want, and more!

text: The "Heartland Presents" double album of Creedence Clearwater Revival standards is an outstanding compilation album. If you like this band, but you don't have any of their albums, this is the one to buy. It's out of print, so grab it as soon as you find it, like here at amazon. I did. I'm a happy camper.


title: Tool covering Ted Nugent was worth the entire purchase.

text: Wonderful quality. Tool live is an experience that can’t quite be captured but this recording is as close as you could get without having been at the show.

text: This CD and its dub companiuon Living Dub, Vol 2 (available on MP3) are easily in the top half of Burning Spears music.


title: Essential Madredeus

text: No less part of the golden decade of Madredeus as (for instance) O Paraiso. Not all songs are available as MP3 or streaming. Seven tracks do appear on Antologia), but unfortunately not the instrumental Os Moinhos and the four part Concertino.


title: A surprise from Dresden

text: Herbert Blomstedt has been a consistently admirable exemplar of the middle-European approach to music making: technically proficient,  well versed in performance traditions (particularly in the Romantic era classics), preservation of a warm "woody" orchestral sound, attention to ensemble, and few interpretive gimmicks.  The results are always satisfyfing and on occasion, even exciting.  Case in point is this unheralded live performance of Beethoven's 9th symphony.  The impression one gets from hearing this recording is that of a real sense of occasion.  As many times as this orchestra has played this work, this performance shows the group fully engaged, with the individual sections vibrant and moving toward an exhillerating conclusion.  The four soloists are particularly to be commended for melding their voices into a cohesive expression of the vocal lines culminating in an explosive declaration at the finale. The chorus is rhythmically secure and full-throated contributing to the anticipation of the sonic payoff.  The recording is clean and well balanced, with little evidence of an audience until after the last note has sounded, when the patrons clearly acknowledged they had heard something special.  Highly recommended!

There used to be a really great record store in Soho, NY, which closed for tragic reasons. Its owner, whose taste was superb, turned me onto many great artists and records, including this one.

In one hundred years time, Danielle Dax will remain cutting edge. She is a truly original recording artist, and this disc must count among her top recordings. These tracks are magnificent, vital and timeless. A voice, in the vein of Diamanda Galas, which could cut glass, Danielle Dax is still pure crystal.

A superheavydubhiphopdanceremix of this record would be better than an ice cream on a cold day. Has it been done? Have I missed it? If not, isn't it time? Come on you young mastermixers. Turn your attention and time to remixing Mistress Dax for the naughties.

Went to Leyla McCalla concert in Durham, NC the other night and was impressed by the quiet power of the music she makes.  Reminded me a bit of Terry Callier, though, alas, I've never experienced his music live. There are songs based on Langston Hughes poetry, a few originals and Haitian traditional songs, which, in my opinion, are the highlight of the album. She was accompanied by violin & bass in the concert and the music felt more within the lines of Cajun/Creole tradition (Leyla is currently based in New Orleans, btw), but on the album it sounds a bit more laid back, like it was played on the porch- though it was professionally recorded in studio in Floyd, VA in very good sound. Beside of Haitian music, the songs have traces of Blues, Appalachian Folk, Cajun, Zydeco and other American roots music forms.
The CD is very well presented, with a book that contains all the texts/translations and many photos.
I'm looking forward to hear more music coming from Leyla over the years.

I also came to know Ricardo Molfa in the uptown platform of 14th street F/M station.  His music is the soundtrack to many people's mornings, and on the mornings when he's playing, I feel that my commute is gentler...and I am glad to say that after a few months absence he is back on 14th street!

I finally purchased his CD and am enjoying it now.


title: More than I expected

text: These CDs are great.  They feature 198 clearly labeled excellent quality bird calls.  The shipping was fast, and they were packaged well.  I am a nature guide in Alaska, and these bird songs will be perfect to help me describe to my clients what a particular bird call sounds like.

text: Wonderful. Glad the item is still available. Give as gifts.


title: Must have

text: This is the arcade soundtrack to parodius nonsense fantasy.  Those of you who are not familiar with parodius, it makes fun of other Konami games and the soundtrack is well worth your time.


title: Wrong cd!!!!

text: I received a Mariah Carey CD!!!  Don't make the same mistake I did.  If it seems a bit fishy and there are no reviews, be sure to verify with the merchant what you are actually purchasing.


title: You get more than you bargain for!!

text: Disc 1 consists of the complete soundtracks of Sonic the hedgehog 1&2 for the Sega Genesis.  So what, may you ask, is on disc 2?  Well, I'll tell you.  Disc 2 contains the original demo's of the 2 soundtracks.  This is the way they were intended to sound before being programmed for Sega Genesis.  And finally, what could possibly be on disc 3?  Well, disc 3 is a single from dreams come true consisting of the American and Japanese versions of a song called dream dream dream.  If you listen carefully to these tracks on disc 3, you will be thrilled to know that this song closely resembles the end credits for Sonic 2!!!  It's an all around great soundtrack collection.


title: The best of the best

text: This is by far, the best final fantasy VI tribute album.  It is very fun to listen to and has a lot of variety in it.  This is an OC remix album meaning that it was meant to be downloaded from the corresponding website.  This physical copy was originally distributed as a reward for the people who donated at least $50 towards the production of this album.  If you can get your hands on it, it is well worth your time and every penny.

You'll also appreciate the inside artwork that breaks down an H-Town SLAB for all the out of towners.


The Taylor Swift, "White Label", "Speak Now World Tour Live", CD/DVD Combo is well worth the investment.  This was the concert disc that turned me into a TOTAL Taylor Swift fan, overnight!!  I have BOTH, numerous copies of the "White Label", (with bonus tracks), AND "Black Label", that I bought KNOWING that eventually this recording would go out of print.  If you have to buy it used, GET IT!!  If you can afford it new, GET IT!!  I have seen many, MANY concerts in my long lifetime, and "The Speak Now World Tour Live", concert is the ABSOLUTE BEST concert I have EVER seen!!  Taylor did this production PERFECTLY!!  And although she now does larger, and more extensive productions, Taylor will never top the perfection of this particular concert tour.  ALL the stars aligned on this one!!  The Speak Now album, Taylor wrote entirely herself without co-writers.  The stage set she developed with another person, and it is PERFECT!!  This is Taylor Swift at her absolute best!!  I cannot say enough good things about this concert.  Do yourself a favor.  Buy this CD/DVD combo and watch it yourself.  You WILL NOT be disappointed!!  Guaranteed!!


title: Great misic

text: Great rap music


title: The price of this unique album will only RISE

text: The mono vinyls were mastered from the original analog master tapes, except for one of their early ones as the tape was disintegrating with each play. The fateful decision was made to make a tape copy and use that as the master. For Rubber Soul, the massive amount of bass was reproduced and with today’s modern mastering equipment, more of the analog signal is transferred to the disc. In other words, this is better than the original UK pressing, and was pressed in Germany.  The next album in the series of remixing is this one, and expected to arrive at the end of this year, 2023.  If they go the same route as “Revolver” the Mono album will be once again remastered but pressed in the Czech Republic, not Germany, and sold at premium price as part of a box, since Apple EMI will stop at nothing to squeeze even greater profits from the fans. So, for the best sounding Rubber Soul on vinyl, skip eating for 2 weeks and buy this album now!!! If you don’t own every Beatles release in Mono then not only have you never heard the Beatles as they intended you to hear them, but also you are NOT a true fan.


title: A must have.

text: This rap cd is a classic. A must have for the collection. Southbound has two albums & they are out of print.


title: Fraud?

text: The item was listed as the re-mastered version with additional tracks and remixes, both in the title, description and subsequently the price of the item, which in total equals to between 4 – 5 times the price of a normal CD. Therefore one would asume this was the genuine article whish it now turns out it's not.<br />Nothing wrong with the Tears For Fears album though…… My gripe is with the seller!

title: Great general meditation CD for times of stress

text: I own and listen to numerous meditation tapes and CD's in working with my own health in a "healthy" way....Belleruth's tapes are such a favorite, not only with me but with others who have listened to them, that I essentially have round filed all my other tapes and CD's and use Belleruth's CDs exclusively. Nothing beats these. Warm voice, wonderful guided meditations, wonderful pacing in each meditation.


title: Five Stars

text: She has a lovely voice and her phrasing is beautiful. It is very calming and comforting.


title: Very Professional

text: This is a very professionally done CD by someone who knows her business. There are a good number of choices for meditation. I have been using it regularly since I got it. The background music makes it much more fulfilling than other meditation CDs which are talking only.


title: Five Stars

text: My dad loved this tape. It has really helped his anxiety. Highly recommended.


title: Did not help at all

text: Only talking.


title: Five Stars

text: Belleruth's magnetic voice is the best around.  She is very perceptive and magnetic.


title: Excellent

text: The meditation was very effective at decreasing my stress level with the very first session.  It takes repeated listening to learn something different each time.


title: Helpful Healing

text: This is an Awsome CD that I purchased USED. It came in very good condition and I really enjoy the author. There is something about the tone of her voice that really sticks. It has helped me tremendously. My therapist recommended it to me.

text: I love the music.<br />However the plastic CD case ARRIVED CRACKED, although it was well packed in bubble wrap envelope. It must have been CRACKED prior to shipping! 😣


Excellent performances but severe problem with the recording.  If you have a wide ranging audio system with a high quality sub woofer as I do--a Velodyne 12" servo-- intermitant low frequency rumbling is audible.  It sounds like traffic noise or a subway train.  Not constant but enough to be annoying.

title: Tasty and Melodic

text: If you are searching for some new powerpop, you have come to the right place. This album is melodic and catchy with great hooks and solid songwriting.  Paul's voice reminds me a lot of Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze.  This album has an unusually high amount of good tunes on it and stands the test of repeated listenings.  If you are a fan of bands like Jellyfish [[ASIN:B0057RKQQO Spilt Milk]] Big Star [[ASIN:B0026IZR3Y #1 Record / Radio City]] and Ben Folds Five [[ASIN:B000002BOJ Whatever and Ever Amen]], you will be pleasantly surprised by these guys.  It is my favorite of all their albums.  I find myself singing the hooks from several of these songs now and again then reach for this album and its never disappointing.

title: Not wat I was looking for.

text: This is only PDF files there is no audio it uses a text reader. Not what I was looking for. :(


title: Their best, still not on cd

text: When FOREVER CAME TODAY was released, Bob Christgau of the Village Voice, rated it a "C"! I wrote to him and said that this was the album of the year not some toss off release. He was late behind the Minutemen, too.  But he did get behind my push for Johnny Cash belonging in the "R&R" Hall of Fame. Anyway, this is not available on CD and I wonder why.


title: Hoodoo - No thank you!

text: There is a simple reason this never came out officially. It stinks !!! Put together at a time when Fogerty was not at his most creative. And it shows. The one single, You Got The Magic, almost has a laid back disco feel to it. And the other side, Evil Thing wouldn't have made CCR's Mardi Gras lp. Elektra records were desperate for a Fogerty lp to promote and sell, and even they thought this would be harmful to his reputation to release. Fogerty himself hated it. If you think you need to buy this thinking there is an undiscovered classic to be heard. Save your money. I purchased a boot of this many moons ago and got rid of quickly. Go to YouTube and look for it. Save your $$$.  Unless John needs money, this will never see the light of day! Don't say you weren't warned.


title: The real deal...

text: Saw these fellas open up for Dave and Phil Alvin at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. They blew me away. The real deal. Buy their music. Go see them. Reminded of classic Burritos, and early Wilco. But they do their own thing. Have their own sound. If you're looking for the soundtrack for driving out of LA toward the desert in a beat up pickup with a broken heart and a satisfied mind, this is your band. Their music took me on a journey for the 40 or so minutes I saw them play. In a truly just world, these guys would be huge.


title: Son of Altered Beast (+5) Kicks butt !

text: Back in the early to mid 90's, Matthew Sweet was on a roll. His albums were filled with guitar heavy, catchy power pop songs. Son of... was a stop gap release between the Altered Beast and 100% Fun record. A seven song EP with outtakes, live tracks, and remixes.  A great rockin' little record. This is the japanese version with five more songs. (All great.)  Mr. Sweet is pretty big in Japan as all his releases over there contained more songs than the US releases. I remember looking thru the bins at the Tower Records on South Street in Philly and seeing this cd. (Tower Records... Those were the days!)  Anyway, it was $35.00!!! I had to pass, and never saw it 'til now. Whatta find. And for much less. (Albeit, used.)  Matthew put out a lot of great music during this period on soundtracks, tributes, b-sides, and everywhere in between. It is sad that it cannot be compiled into some sort of box set. It would do him the justice he so richly deserves.

title: Letdown - a 90's Third Wave Punk Rock Band

text:
Listen to these tunes at Letdown's My Space:

[...]

If you listen closely to the CD, you hear tons of influences that are engrained in our souls. Andy's voice has tints of Rik L. Rik's "crooning" at times. Clint's bass has that one-of-a-kind sound (with Steve Harris overtones) that gave his old band Guttermouth it's drive. Robby's drums are powerful/driving, resembling "old school" LA/OC punk angst (blazing single-stroke rolls-a-plenty!). Kent's lead/backing vocals sound straight out of the gutter, as well as his "wired-up" rhythms and lead guitar solos.

All of the different styles of "Maximum Rock 'n' Roll" on this CD have given it the reputation of being the "White Album" of Punk. It is said that this genre is directly related to those bands of their California punk roots...the most important being The Simpletones, Rik L. Rik, and The Crowd (from the Beach Blvd. record). Therefore, it is hypothesized that Beach Blvd was the foundation of the Letdown sound, with all of their other influences piled on top. Further, you can hear shades of The Dickies all through these tunes.  Additionally, the energy & power of Letdown's tunes can be traced back to the California sounds that rumbled out of the seminal LA club, The Masque; traces of bands such as the Bags, Weirdos, the Dils, the Zeros, the Germs, and F-Word will embrace you as you listen to Letdown's tunes.

title: Great Scripture Memory

text: I grew up with the cassette version of most of these, so there is a bit of nostalgia here. I actually bought them for my daughter to listen to them in the car, since she's almost always asking for "kids songs", whenever she's riding in the car with me. Then I found these on CD, and thought it would be great for her to learn God's word with these. I like them because they are still relevant to kids today, and grownups too!<br />It was pretty great for them to notify my that there was a CD missing/on backorder from this booklet, and that it would be shipped as soon as it became available again.


title: Best information ever about what Chicago is all about for Tourist and residents.

text: In order to truly appreciate this narration by Dennis Farina you would have had to grow up in Chicago to appreciate it. Dennis did excellent job and he his truly missed. This C D should be made available to all Tourist for purchase and to better understand the history of all the neighborhoods


title: Quality

text: Love this cd and song was  in Perfect shape


title: Good

text: Good


title: GREAT!

text: Came in great conditions!


title: I had to own this!

text: I saw them on this tour back in January 1979. I've seen Rush 12 times, and this was without a doubt their best tour, IMHO. This brings back great memories and the band sounds great. Decent soundboard recording that won't disappoint the older, hardcore Rush fans.


title: Danzig is best

text:
Have owned these in the past , got lost in time somewhere . I want all 4 on Vinyl but they are likely to be re-issued until either Rick Ruben or Glenn Danzig dies due to contract disputes .

 I'm not going to pay upwards of $300 each for these on vinyl so CD will do it for now not that there's anything wrong with CDs they sound great especially on a high end set up .

 Next us Deth Red Sabboath another CD I've owned and lost . That CD has never been reissued and us not cheap.

But yes the first 4 Danzig albums , especially the first two are in my top 10 as far as hard rock/ metal goes.  I remember in 1989 at 14 years of age I was listening to Danzig and Misfits while all the other idiot kids thought they were cool listening to Poison and Bon Jovi lol.....Danzig has won the war on time thats for sure.


title: Unique in sound ..

text: Great album as long as your not a bible thumper . Very unique artist . A bit of 60's Doors and 70's Black Sabbath feel with even a bit of Misfits , Danzig and Metallica Vibe to it . Sounds great on Vinyl...


title: Totally unique and absolutely brilliant - the closest description would be like an artsy ...

text: Totally unique and absolutely brilliant - the closest description would be like an artsy Jesus Lizard. Just get this (a comp of all the singles) and the Fresh Breath EP, get drunk big time, put em' on and get blown away ! - Then after that, listen to first album of the band they morphed into, U.S. Maple - 'Long Hair In Three Stages' - holy mother of god, I'll tell ya, it doesn't any better than this !!!!!


title: Poor quality

text: Lots of skips in recorded tracks and second CD was in European format and would not play.


title: New Crowded House

text: Good album with new material, Neil Finn has even brought his sons on board for this project.


title: Very poorly done

text: This is a really bad production. Although all 3 disk have different labels, 2 have the same songs. Disk 1 shows up as Disk 2 when read. Disk 2 and Disk 3 both show up as Disk 1 on the disk and have the same songs. 2 of the songs on each CD do not have meta data( just showing up as Track 19 and 20), and the meta data on the others does not match the song that is played. None of the songs on the disk match the sequence on the slip sleeve or are even the same ones.


title: Five Stars

text: Wonderful- all our favorite Anglican hymns.


title: Dreamy album

text: It's like Goblin meets the Cure meets disco. I fell in love with this band the second I heard this album. It puts you in a dreamy state from the beginning and keeps you there throughout the whole album. Some of the songs are perfectly cinematic. It sounds like it could have been released anywhere from the early 80s until today! The songs have a romantic flare, and some of them have a sort of Suspiria vibe. I could listen all day!


title: 10/10 would chill to

text: Absolutely outstanding work done by Seu Jorge. I absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting to experience Bowie under a different light. Bowie himself praised this album saying "Had Seu Jorge not recorded my songs in Portuguese, I would never have heard this new level of beauty which he has imbued them with.”


title: Top-notch Halloween Mix for Any Party

text:
D.J. P is one of the deejays who made a name for himself in the early 2000s by using a "mash up" or blending style of mixing - tossing different genres of music into a seamless mix that blows the listener's mind.

He fails to dissapoint on this particular Halloween-centric CD mix, where everything from Thriller to Man Behind the Mask (Alice Cooper) are played over rhythmic beats/breaks and combined with classic horror movie sound bites. Even some ot the lesser known songs (Organ Donar by DJ Shadow, for example) fit so perfectly into this blend that you can't resist hearing it again and again.

This is D.J. P's follow up to Hell on Wheels 1, which contained a slower, more deliberate blend of horror-type rap songs from the likes of the Fresh Prince, Geto Boys and Whodini. Also a great find and the perfect soundtrack for any Halloween bash.


title: Wonderful!

text: Uplifting, as in Lift Up Your Hearts!  Some are lively, others are more meditative.  All are wonderful!

text: Fantastic!


title: THIS IS AMAZING

text: THE ALBUM CAME WITH EVERYTHING AND IT CAMR SO FAST! TOOK ABOUT TWO DAYS! Y’ALL SHOULD TOTALLY ORDER THIS 💙


title: Different than the H&H Society recording of the 70s

text: Due to microphone placement this recording brings out different orchestral voices that you usually do not hear. Makes listening (particularly with an orchestral score continually interesting. Varried tempi with wonderful soloists. Not the usual PERIOD piece recording but more a survey of a different time & style.


title: Great cd

text: Great cd. So glad to find this cd. Music on this cd is great. Received cd in a very nice manner.


title: A Kiwi, not Cockney, Eliza

text: This is a first class rendition of this classic, lovely score. I think my only criticism is that the ravishing Dame Kiri really sounds more New Zealander than Cockney as pre transformation Eliza. But I’m such a fan, I don’t care.


title: excellent.

text: a pleasant and rather catchy little r&b number with enough rap to keep everyone generally satisfyied. an excellent purchase all round.


title: Awesome album 👌

text: I've been looking for this for a long time. I love ❤ 😍 it!

It's a CD - what is there to report?

text: My husband is a huge Elton John fan! He absolutely loves this collection!


title: Arrival

text: The CD arrived 2 days before the date we were td which was excellent as it was a birthday present. It was well wrapped and I perfect condition when it arrived in Spain.


title: Very underrated

text:
I'm a Ramones fan since just before Road to Ruin was released,  it was my first freshly  issued a Ramones album,  of course I had all the previous albums as well.
I waited with great anticipation for every new album release from that point on, including the double live album.
 I saw them 5 times in person.
I'm old enough now to know - good  - bad  - best - worst -.....it's all subjective.
  For me , it's one of my favorite Ramones albums.
  I like every album,  for diffent reasons,  I also have favorite songs on each album.
  But End of The Century resonates with me more then most.
  It's a great album , buy it and enjoy.


title: buy it

text: first off, one of my favorites in my collection! i was happy with the cd sent. which is ashton. ngl i kinda pissed myself when it came in the mail— buy it NOW


title: Personal level of care beyond my expectations.

text: Outstanding service on this hard-to-find baroque horn CD, I would recommend Phil’s mail-order business to any fellow music lover. What a pleasure to have this level of personal care taken with my order.


title: Good music

text: Worth buyi


title: Very god, thanks

text: Thanks for the vinyl.


title: Great music but CD gives you not as much as you think

text: According to online sources, all of the original recording session tracks of music for the film itself were lost.  Only the mono album tracks have survived.  What Kritzerland did was remaster the original album tracks (done beautifully) and then rearrange them in the order they were heard in the film.  Since that is only around a half hour of music, Kritzerland chose to present this "rearranged" version of the album tracks, followed by the same tracks in the order from the original album.  Although some of the track titles have been changed somewhat, they are the same tracks.  Again, a great score for a great film.


title: Fun and Interesting

text: Fun album. In addition to good twist albums by American artists like James Brown, Bobby Darin, The Shirelles, The Crystals, Freddy Cannon, The Ventures and Duane Eddy, there's some good music from French and Italian acts like Dalida and Johnny Hallyday. I really enjoy this collection.


title: Perfect

text: Perfect


title: Fantastic singer that i ever like.

text: I like the singer's voice. I've joined the concert many times. Her voice is really awesome.


title: Where is the Poster?

text: Everyone has heard the songs so we know they are great.  Nothing new about that.  The demos are cool.  But I paid extra for the poster, so where is it?  Your guess is as good as mine.  You are better off getting the $9.99 CD on amazon or going straight to your local store to purchase the CD.  At least you will save on S&H.


title: Awesome

text: They are finally doing a UK tour and I have my tickets and have now sold out. This band is taking over the world in the rock charts and are so different and unique that they are well worth a listen to


title: Nice CD

text: A nice little CD for any collector! I wish CD 1 was hits from the years 1978-1995 and the second CD were hits from 1995-2016!


title: Perfect for relaxation- for the client and the therapist

text: I loved these CDs!  I incorporated them into a therapy session with autistic clients and they were soothed by the music.  When I need to relax, I turn to these cds.  Thank you!


title: Quintessential Collection!

text: In the late 80's/early 90's I had a Skataliites cassette tape.  I'm not quite sure what happened to it, but the songs that were on it blew my mind.  I has taken over 25 years for me to realize that most of the songs were from their TOP DECK sessions.  These songs are so much more melodic than most of the Coxsone recordings.  This is really where it's at.  I would have rated it higher but there are only 5 stars.


title: Classic 3rd Wave

text: The Uptones were the West Coast equivalent of The Toasters.  The only problem is the stopped playing and never toured as the 3rd wave really started to take off with bands like Lets Go Bowling, Skanking Pickle, Hepcat on the West Coast, King Apparatus in Canada and The Scofflaws and Bim Skala Bim, The New York Citizens and Perfect Thyroid on the East Coast.  The band unfortunately became a footnote, when they should have had their own chapter.  This album is FANTASTIC.  PURE SKA and 3rd wave the way the original bands played it.  Higher Energy than 2 tone ska but with pop sensibilities and big horns sections!  This is a must have for any ska lover!  If you like this I would highly recommend SLK's self titled recording from 1984.  Stay Rude!


title: In love

text: Words cannot express the love I have for this album and band. The music es fantastic and quality is even better.


title: Buena condición

text: Tenía miedo de que viniera raspado o dañado pero me lo entregaron en buena condición. Es mi nuevo álbum favorito. 🤍


title: Pure genius

text: Been listening to this CD over and over and love it more every time I hear it. The incredible talent of these young musicians is inspiring. And Damianos voice? Beautiful, expressive, marvelous. Highly recommend.


title: Meh

text: Meh


title: warm and interesting interview

text: The singing was great you can tell from his conversation and the album/ c d cover that he still cares deeply for his second wife, He would not mind at all an reconcilation. The love on his part is still there.


title: good funk, very unusual sounds from a group.

text: I would agree with the other reviewers, that there are one or two songs here that were always played on the 70's dance floor.  Also the group dramatics had some good dance floor songs which were popular. However there are also a few songs on this cd which are not so good.  The question remains why has nobody ever put together a 70's dance compilation that ever has the same songs that were actually on the dance floor in the 70's.  Any person familar with disco or dance music will agree the 70's era dance music just is not available on compilations. Altho the market for such a product would be terrific.

title: Spectacular Bel Canto Singing

text: This is a must have desert island album for all bel canto lovers and voice students. Blake is like a throwback to a different era. The only tenor I've ever heard in my 50+ years of listening to this repertoire who's got the goods. And by that I mean the fioratura and the notes in alt ESSENTIAL to sing this repertoire. Bravissimo!


title: Worship on the mountain

text:
One of my favorite moments on GREATER: Live at Chapel comes early. It’s more for the R&B style than the sentiments, though I like the thought of letting God’s praise be preeminent throughout the day.

It’s the rhythm that delights! It is a joyful mix of acoustic and electric R&B. This style doesn’t seem as prevalent in modern worship, which is a shame. Planetshakers continually show how good it can sound on their releases, even though they use it sparingly.

The title song, like most if not all of the tracks, has a short intricate instrumental opening, which adds artistry to a genre that can lack it. “Greater” becomes a pounding anthem extolling Christ as being above everything.

My favorite part of “Victory of Jesus” is the creative guitar improvising at the end of some of the lines. Is it needless embellishment? I don’t think so. Recall the beauty of the High Priest’s garments. They reflected God’s glory. Subtle adornment in music can do the same.

The words “God of miracles” in this song and “Move in Power,” the next track, show charismatic influences, which provides some indication of the content. It’s contemporary as opposed to more conservative hymn-like songs along the lines of Keith and Kristyn Getty. One small drawback is that it gets a little repetitive and drawn out in spots, but that is often typical of contemporary styles of worship.

A welcome change is the acoustic adaptation of Psalm 23. The Gettys and those favoring more traditional expressions might approve. It’s a fine rendering and this trend continues on the following.

“Emmanuel,” which is not a Christmas song, is also stripped-down. It puts the words and singing in the forefront. Then to close the release the last four tracks return to the full band sound, which makes for an appropriate contrast.

Reading about the setting for this event is a bit of surprise: a mountaintop near Melbourne, Australia with the band joined by Planetshakers Bible College students. A studio version of GREATER, an earlier release, is also available along with streaming of the concert.

The musicianship and production are first rate. I never would have guessed it was recorded on a mountain but how appropriate given the significance of such in Scripture.


title: Surprised by a multi-cultural sound!

text:
It’s not often when I start to listen to something new that I’m taken by surprise. Such is the case with Desert Rain by Trinity. It starts with the title track, a short instrumental with Andean-like flute, hand percussion, and a few other exotic sounds. It’s a foretaste of a world music experience; a hybrid of folk, pop and rock styles drawing in particular from South America.

“Rise Again” follows starting with gentle guitar and some type of woodwind. It’s like a moving tribute to courage:

 Though I’m bending in the storm
 I’ll never break

It makes me think of the bravery of people in the Ukraine. If they could hear this, they might be encouraged in their struggle.

Another memorable line is found at the end of an interlude: “truth crushed to earth will rise again.” It can be an anthem for anyone engaged in a noble struggle.

“Metropolitain” is partly in French with a tight, fast rhythm and a definite South American vibe. The lyrics are broad in scope and juxtaposed with some opposites: “City of artists, of searchers and martyrs, of lovers and violence, of lambs and lions. What if getting was giving, what if losing is winning? What if the sacred comes out of its hiding, joining the searchers in finding?”

“A Miracle” is a mid-tempo exploration of the profound mysteries in a relationship. Here as it is throughout the perspective is from a position of faith rather than being overtly about the Christian life. I have nothing against the latter but the subtlety is refreshing. I found it interesting that a non-Christian friend told me the other day that the music by Christian artists that he likes best is when it’s not obvious. This falls in that category. There is as much attention to overall craft as the lyrics.

Low end bass, synth and sassy brass give weight to “Satellite Television.” The playfulness in sound and the use of satire make this a lot of fun and a favorite:

 I hardly have a roof
 but I’ve got Satellite television
 My love life sucks
 At least I’ve got Satellite television

A chorus of voices join in on the title to emphasize the gravity of the subject. Music could use more of this kind of humor.

A cheerful tune on the flute. Mandolin strumming. A chorus of voices gaily singing syllables. It adds up to the Celtic-sounding depiction of a father’s tender love for his infant daughter on “The Way That I Do.” It’s promise of constancy mirrors God’s lasting love for his children:

 My baby my dear
 I wish it weren’t true
 But the world and its sorrows will someday hurt you
 But know when you fall, I’ll be there with you too
 To hold you and love you the way that I do

Festive sounds return on El Sonido De Mi Tierra, a mid-tempo Salsa-style number in Spanish and English. It lends itself to being interpreted as a prayer:

 Be the reason that I live today
 Be the air that I breathe, fill me now

“It’s All Gonna Change” is the first of three songs toward the end that include Neema Ntalel from Kenya on vocals. They take the form of a duet on the somber “Shooting Stars,” a reflection on bereavement.

C. S. Lewis said, “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” This idea fits with the sentiments expressed on “We Are Born,” whose sound has Middle Eastern influences. A driving rhythm propels the forceful thought:

 We are born with an aching for more than we’ll ever know
 To be fighters and lovers to know what we are living for
 There’s a burning desire inside that can’t be controlled
 An unquenchable fire that tells us we’re made for more

Trinity consists of three Dutch brothers, Elbert (lead vocals, flutes, saxophone), Johan (acoustic guitars) and Nick Smelt (drums & percussion), who grew up as missionary kids, and Dutch-raised Bert Bos (bass). It’s amazing that these four produce such a variety of earthy but sophisticated sounds. Listen and find joy in hearing a multitude of diverse cultural influences.


title: I recommend buying this album

text: The songs are so beautiful. I like every one of them, I played the album over and over again, well done rend collective experiment ;)


title: nina hagen immer lauter

text: well , what can I say? as a long time NINA fan, I can honestly say that this is the best thing<br />that she has done in YEARS!!!


title: Follow up to the Brazil Project CD but definitely not second string.

text: Wonderful music that transports you.


title: Not to be overlooked!

text: The pianist Dubravka Tomšic may not be as well-known in the West as many others, though she has an impressive presence on YouTube. She plays these Scarlatti sonatas with all the musicality, verve, panache and technique one could wish for. These 1989 recordings have been issued in at least 4 different incarnations, some of them now offered on this site at very high prices. For a modest outlay, this is a way of acquiring a most desirable disc that will give endless pleasure. The jewelbox inlay gives only Longo numbers for these 13 sonatas, so it may be helpful if I add here the more familiar Kirkpatrick Numbers: K.1, 146, 19, 551, 259, 125, 9, 159, 11, 14, 299, 466, 39. Some of these are quite familiar, others less so.<br />Potential purchasers may be interested to know that there is no overlap with the selection of 15 sonatas included by Andras Schiff in his Decca CD made around the same time. There is, however, quite an overlap with the Pogorelich selection on DGG; where I have compared them, I find her more compelling. The recording quality is excellent.


title: Wonderful Album - My Favorite Don Williams song From My Heart to You

text: I was so excited when I found this on Amazon. Used but in excellent shape. Fast Delivery from vendor. Doesnt have a lot of songs but it has Eric Clapton's Wonderful on it and Don does a great job ith it


title: Comes just like a CD should

text: This is an amazing CD it plays perfect there is no damage to it and it was a great price!


title: An Experience That Everyone Should Be A Part Of

text: Tom Kenyon is truly a master! Being a professional psychic/medium I utilize all of his music in my practice. The beneifits of his voice to my clients and to my own healing and clarity are amazing. Tom truly has a gift that everyone should experience. The meditations the feel of his powerful and beautiful moving voice raise your conciousness and vibration!  Thank you Tom for sharing your gift with the world!<br />beeherz.com


title: I do not like this product

text: This product is not at all relaxing. I do not like the music. It is out of place with the nature sounds. This is a bad combination. The nature sounds are natural and sound good but the music mixed with these sounds is not a good sound.


title: Great!

text: Amazing it came in great quality nothing was ruined it’s such a good album as well! It also came earlier than expected!


title: Good

text: I thought it came with a poster but it didn’t still love the whole album it came in good condition as well.


title: Fantastic find

text: I bought this years ago when I was in Russia and still listen to it regularly.  It's definitely one of the most beautiful recordings I have ever hear.


title: Wonderful

text: Enjoying and sharing the music


title: Accidentally bought this

text: I accept purchased this cd thinking it was by Peaches,not just named peaches..I gave it a try anyway and it is dreadful boy band sounding. I'll be throwing this one out.


title: Rag'N'Bone Man

text: I have all of his albums on vinyl but I love his passionate songs so much I had to get the cd also.


title: Mike Love released his debut solo album away from The Beach ...

text:
In 1970, George Harrison released his debut solo album away from The Beatles entitled ALL THINGS MUST PASS, in order to prove how talented he was from under the shadows of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

It was a masterpiece.

In 1981, Mike Love released his debut solo album away from The Beach Boys entitled LOOKING BACK WITH LOVE, in order to prove how talented he was from under the shadow of Brian Wilson.

It was a PIECE of something, all right, but nothing masterful!

An entire collection of covers was his bold, brash, leading-himself-into-a-brave-new-future statement? It just shows how far his artistic sensibilities stretched: not very far at all. He actually thought the public would eat this stuff up in that it's-still-1963 "brain" of his.This disc is beyond the pale. Thank goodness record buyers didn't fall for it. Unfortunately, it meant he went right back to the safety net of The Beach Boys and continued to lead their descent into county fair-playing retro hacks (much to Carl Wilson and Al Jardine's chagrin), as if the progression of the early 70s meant nothing. (Let alone the artistic achievements of PET SOUNDS.)

The Beach Boys was the band that once challenged the mighty Beatles in terms of sonic superiority. There's not a hint of that in anything Mike Love does with the group, or - as evidenced from this waste of space of an album - on his own. This man was - and continues to be - a blight on music.

Do yourselves a favour and go get a copy of Dennis Wilson's masterful PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE if you want a REAL solo Beach Boy album from this period with some WEIGHT to it. And go see Brian Wilson tour while you still can. And just imagine this album - and Mike Love himself - doesn't exist.


title: Getting It In The Street

text: I'm very pleased with the cd. However,from the time that I originally purchased the cd and actually received it is another story. It wasn't unit you first contacted me for a review that I was able to communicate that I had received nothing. I was quick to get a response back and then finally a reponse from the seller. I usually purchase things through sellers according to their overall rating. I can tell you from this expierence that I would definately think twice before ever buying anything from Caiman again!!!!!!!!!! Dorothy G Cordell


title: This must be a must-have to everybody

text: At last, the CD was arrived after two and half months' waiting. There are four tracks from their lastest CD "Ghost Stories". The newest ones, "A sky full of stars", "Always in my head", "Midnight", and "Magic", which make the CD priceless. I would recommend the CD to any one, even they are not fully interested in Coldplay. After received, the CD is being played infinitely, which will take you a long journey of meditation. Hope enjoy yourself.


title: Trouble Maker Chemistry is great!

text: excelente


title: Perfect

text: Recieving this was a lot more fancy than when I ordered my Red CD. There was a cardboard cover to protect the CD and it even came with a poster. I wish my Red CD had the cardboard cover i'm super concerned about scratching or cracking my CDs.

title: Replaced a damaged one

text: My 7 year old plays this CD when settling in for the night.  We had another copy but it was scratched so had to be replaced.  I was grateful to find a copy.

title: No stars - unacceptable - only put 1 star instead of zero because could not Submit!!!

text: 0 stars - Bestcollectionbooks - message: running late - then check with post office - finally received message I’d be reimbursed - will check to make sure - very disappointed


title: Great Soundtrack!

text: I LOVE this music.  Took me forever to find this soundtrack, but I finally got it.  Many tracks are catchy, have fantastic beats, and fit the areas in the game perfectly.  If you've played the game, you already know what I'm talking about, but if you're considering a blind purchase I highly recommend it.  If you like electronic/techno or traditional japanese music/sounds, this soundtrack is a perfect fusion of the two.


title: Tongue-in-cheek lyrics are what sets him apart

text: Nik is, and always has been, a clever composer, as well as being a competent guitarist and vocalist. But what has always set him apart for me is the subtle tongue-in-cheek humour that finds its way into so many of his lyrics. He could rant and rave and point fingers at the stuff that annoys him, but instead he writes witty little barbs that get under your skin.

text: Awesome album


title: Was not sure what I was getting

text: Ordered the CD "Honey" and got it plus "It must be Him". Once ordered it looked like I was receiving a set of USB cords!!! Love the music!!!

Soukous, Africa's hottest guitar-based music, springs from the bars, clubs and studios of Kinshasa, the capital of Zaire. Its roots go back to Joseph Kabasele, whose band, African Jazz, introduced electric music in the late fifties; to the ever-popular OK Jazz, with its mix of Zairean rumba and electrified folklore; and to Thbu Ley, whose progressive mix of new rhythms made its mark on many of the artists featured on this album.
Ley's melodic, at times sentimental style, had a strong impact on Kanda Bongo Man who started his career as a singer with Orchestre Belle Mambo in 1973. Six years later he moved to Paris, releasing a string of albums, the most recent of which, Lela Lela, picks up the high-tech flavours of Antillean zouk currently sweeping the Caribbean and French-speaking Africa.
A similar approach marks out the musicians who received their early grounding with 'lbu Ley before becoming well known in their own right. The first step came in 1979 when a number of Ley's back-up men left Orchestre Afrisa and moved to Abidjan, in the Cote d'lvoire where they teamed up with a former Ley co-vocalist, Sam Mangwana. The line-up of the new band, African All Stars, included Dizzy Mandjeku, solo guitar; Syran Mbenza, mi-solo; Lolcassa Ya Mbongo, accompaniment; Pablo Porthos and Bopol Mansiamina, bass; and Ringo Moya, drums. Its popularity was vast. Blending soukous and biguine, the Antillean forerunner of zouk, and with Mangwana's lyrics sung largely in French, African All Stars took Zairean music to new heights.
By 1980, Mangwana was looking for a market outside Africa. With Syran and Pablo, he left for Paris where the trio recorded the "Maria 'lèbbo" album under the name "L'lnternational Sam Mangwana' African All Stars, with its replacement singer, Nyboma, stayed in Abidjan, recording group albums, the "Innovations" series, featuring Bopol, Nyboma and others, and sessions for visiting artists, among them, Congolese guitarist, Denis Loubassou, aka Denis La Cloche, and Tchico, the Golden Voice of Africa, who together later went on to form the Paris-based Les Officiers of African Music.
The African All Stars line-up suffered further changes. Nyboma formed Orchestre Les Kamale Dynamiques du Zaire and, in 1982, left for Pans where he joined Bopol, Wuta Mayi and Syran Mbenza in Les Quatre Etoiles. A collection of group and solo albums followed. The stand-outs include Bopot's "Helena": to which Jacob Desvarieux and Jean-Claude Naimro from the Martinique/Guadaloupe supergroup Kassav added their considerable weight; and Nyboma's collaboration with Zairean singer Pepe Kalle, heard to advantage on the Antillean-flavoured "Zouke-Zouke'
In 1986, African All Stars' former guitarist Lokassa Ya Mbongo made his mark in Paris with "Marie Jose" a track which has all the hallmarks of the new Zairean sound: high-tech production, detailed and varied percussion, an effortless guitar flow. The result: music with precision and feeling - heartbeat soukous.
