title: Besta Polka Youbetcha

text:
Released as an in-store special for Sam Goody and Musicland stores (I got my copy at the Staten Island Mall for a whopping 99 cents back in the day), this party-starter of a polka disc is as much a tribute to the king of Cleveland Style, Frankie Yankovic.  He'd just released an album of duets with fellow accordionists and folks influenced by his style and four of this disc's eight tracks come from that release.

There's not a bum track in the lot!  "Weird Al" Yankovic and band polkacize Queen with "Bohemian Polka", Jimmy Sturr takes on Smokie's "Living Next Door to Alice" (cleaning up British fans' chants accompanying the original), and Frank meets with Eddie Blazonczyk ("In Heaven There Is No Beer"), Weird Al ("Whole Stole the Keeshka"), and norteno legend Little Joe Hernandez ("Just Because Polka").

A bit of indie cred comes from Brave Combo's "Flying Saucer".

Far too short, this comp of "happy snappy" tunes is sure to liven up any gathering, and belongs in any self-respecting polka hall's jukebox.

text: The corners of the album were kinda damaged but the album itself is amazing all the pictured made me cry :( definitely the best photobook out of the albums i think. if youre a stay, you definitely need this album even if you dont get any other album


title: Cool music!

text: Really enjoyed these songs- but this CD is overpriced. Metallica have it listed for $10.99 on their website... why so high here?


title: Great!

text: Great vinyl. VG quality. Quick shipping.


title: A Lost Gem

text: An absolute powerpop gem. Musically awesome, vocally rough but perfect, channeling the Rasberries, the Kinks, the Who, the Beatles, and giving them all a good swift kick.


title: Avoid this is a product, it’s a catfish

text: Totally did not expect the size of this to be so small! This thing can only fit like 1.5 no where near a Thai stick amount of material.

title: peaceful slumber

text: I love this CD!  I listen to it each night as I unwind while getting ready for bed.  I fall asleep to the peaceful drumming and wake up so refreshed.  This music lifts my spirit and lulls me to sleep at the same time.  My husband even looks forward to it now, and he is not a spiritual drumming music type of guy.  It is wonderful.


title: Story Time

text: If you LOVE Disney history, this is a good purchase. The interviewer/editor should have done a bit more to keep things on track; but there are many interesting stories. It's like listening to an older relative who has lived through some fascinating adventures.


FAST SHIPPING!!! PERFECT & EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! THANKS!


title: Best. CD. Ever. Period...

text: ...and darned hard to find too, because we only made a thousand of these guys like TEN YEARS AGO! Yes, this was my band and I had to buy my own copy later on after I lost my other copy. It's a must for any serious Stunt Monkey fan's collection. Even harder to find: For The Ear and Kid Tested, Mother Approved. Good luck finding those gems!


title: Five Stars

text: Very nice.


title: Masterful Shoe-Gazer Music

text:
Overall, this is a fine album.  It's quite hard to find at present, as the album was only released in Japan; I picked up a copy a couple years back for about $30 and considered it a reasonable deal.  The songs are psychedelic, imaginative, and quite varied.  Pale Saints has a knack for intricate guitarwork, catchy melodies, and some very odd lyrics that somehow fit the music well.  Half-Life Remembered, in particular, is a fantastic track and I'm surprised that they didn't release it to a wider market. The one minor gripe I have is that the songs don't seem to gel together as well as they might, and as a result the flow of the album is a bit uneven.  Still a worthwhile album to own.

The following songs are rated out of a possible 5 stars.

Track 1: The Sight of You: 4.5 stars. Great melodic guitarwork in a dense wall of chords.
Track 2: She Rides the Waves: 2.5 stars.  Short, fast-paced, almost punk-sounding.
Track 3: Mother Might: 3 stars.  Slow, dreamy, rather weird twilight-zone music.
Track 4: Colours and Shapes: 3.5 stars.  Peppy, catchy pop tune.
Track 5: A Deeper Sleep for Steven: 5 stars.  Slow, majestic, hymn-like and expansive, it brings to mind a vast cathedral of worshippers. The second-best song on the album.
Track 6: Half-Life, Remembered: 5 stars.  I would give this 6 stars, except my scale only goes to 5. :) This version of the song was only released on this CD.  It's energetic, rockin', and has a great, trippy conflux of vocals, guitar, and drums (including bongo drum!).  Lyrics are enigmatic and thought-provoking.  My favorite song from the five Pale Saints albums I own.  Best played at high volume while driving in the fast lane with all the windows down.
Track 7: Baby Maker: 4.5 stars.  Upbeat, jangly, and danceable.
Track 8: Two Sick Sisters: 3 stars.  Slow, weird song, not too interesting.
Track 9: A Revelation: 2.5 stars.  Frenetic, fast-paced, but a bit discordant for my taste.
Track 10: The Colour of the Sky: 3 stars.  Intensely weird, and more than a bit creepy.  The first time you listen to it, you'll be tempted to turn up the volume because it starts out quietly.  DON'T.  The loudness jumps to 11 on a scale of 1-10 right around 40 seconds in.


title: Almost 20 Years Gone By...

text: Almost 20 years since AOH released this first album in Chicago. The sound of mid-90s math-rock with heavy Sonic Youth and shoegaze flavors.


The previous reviewer is correct.  There is a second cd set called HEARTBITS 2: CAN YOU PASS THE ACID TEST ONCE MORE?".  Here's the info. on it:
"Hartbits pt.2" contains the second part of the October 30, 1968 show and the first part of the December 16, 1968 show from Live at the Matrix.
Cd one tracks are: Intrepid Trips, Bishop's Blues, Prisoner Blues, Magic Matrix Jam, Dark Star (first two songs cowritten by Elvin Bishop, who joins in on the jams).
Cd two track is: Can You Pass The Acid Test? (jam with members of Jefferson Airplane).
If you like the first cd set you'll love the jamming on this 2 cd set also.  (Fyi, it is listed under "Collectibles" right now).


title: Clean music

text: I like everything about, Kool and klean smooth over the top Jazz the Entire collection is Amazing well selected. I love it.


title: Familiar stuff.....different presentation.

text: If you're a kinks fan.....thinkin you need this one in your collection.  live concerts with with some serious guitar work and the voices are as good as ever.  Dave can play as good as any the greats.  even the sound check is worth listening to.


title: Great CD, but the 3 Shostakovich Prelude and Fugue track information were mixed up

text:
Correct track listing should be:

1.Miaskovsky Piano Sonata N° 3 In C Minor
2.Shostakovich Prelude and Fugue Op.87 N° 22
3.Shostakovich Prelude and Fugue Op.87 N° 21
4.Shostakovich Prelude and Fugue Op.87 N° 19
5.Prokofiev Sonata N° 8 Andante Dolce
6.Prokofiev Sonata N° 8 Andante / Vivace


title: YogaLife: 10 Steps to Freedom

text: I own both the book, YogaLife 10 Steps to Freedom, and the companion CD YogaLife 10 Steps to Freedom and I love them both.  I keep the CD in my car and enjoy listening to the real-world descriptions of the Yamas and Niyamas over and over again.  The guided meditations are wonderful.  I am a yoga teacher and often read the guided meditations to my students at the end of class.  This is a wonderful resource for anyone who wants to live their yoga, on and off the mat. -Kara from Denver


title: Love it

text: I love that it was in amazing condition. It was totally worth the price that I payed for it. I love this so much.


title: Impressed is a under statement

text: It arrived fast, I need to order another one, this album is WOW OUT THE BOX. Queen Latifas rang and versatility on this album is unforgettable. This was the 1st queen Latifah album I purchased, and it is my favorite. There is a song she dedicated to her brother Lance that died in a motorcycle accident, she wull wear the key to his motorcycle around her neck FOREVER


title: It was really good

text: I ordered this a few months ago and it stays on loop photocards were good quality too


title: Five Stars

text: Seen them twice-music is great


title: A must for any Tom Jones fan.

text: When this cd/dvd became available I ordered it. The mix of classic and newer Tom Jones songs is great. I had watched his appearance on tv and wanted the new arrangements of some of the songs. The cd had more songs then the TV show. The order from dragon all in Japan was in great condition and even arrived earlier than expected. I would order again from them.

title: I'll start off saying that this is probably worth it ...

text:
I'll start off saying that this is probably worth it just for the cover of "Band on the run" alone.
However, this is far far from an official FF album, to the point where there are tons of misspelled words and gibberish on the back cover.
Several songs arent "rare" theyre just songs on albums that arent as well known.
A decent amount of these songs sound as though they arent even the Foos, should only be a single disc CD


title: I loved TEXAS, and this one I adore - VERY ...

text: I loved TEXAS, and this one I adore - VERY unique in that you get to hear some songs DEMO+FINAL VERSION back to back, and notice the changes...some phrases and bits show up in TEXAS, so this is a great insight into how Mr. Hunter puts a song together...also, VERY funny, guy has a great sense of self-deprecating humor...and the early songs literally ROCKerate your speakers!


title: The Definitive Christmas Album

text: I first heard it as a small child and have considered it the definitive Christmas album every since.  Eugene Ormandy,The Philadelphia Orchestra,Robert Page,Temple University Concert Choir did a fantastic job just like they did on the earlier "Glorious Sound of Christmas".  Unfortunately I've never seen "A Christmas Festival" on CD so I'm stuck ripping the same 1963 album I heard as a child to mp3 today.  Skips and all it is still well worth it.


title: Four Stars

text: It's OK for this price, Looking littlebit cheap


title: Highly talented

text: This is the best album they have ever done!! They are highly talented and use it to the greatest extent. It’s the most soothing music out there.


title: A Joyful Christmas

text: CD was not something out of the ordinary.  The song choices were for the most part obscure and not instantly recognized as Christmas music.  Romina has a beautiful voice, and her story of how she overcame the vicious attach made upon her was quite inspiring.  I love Jim Shores' artistic talents, and found the CD cover to be highly attractive.  Perhaps my attitude toward the CD is more refective of the problems I had with shipping and billing than the CD itself.  I ordered one CD but received two.  I notified the supplier by email.  He replied simply "just keep them both."  I took that to mean that I would be charged for one and the extra CD was being given to me free of charge for being inconvenienced.  This, however, was not the case.  I was charged twice on my credit card with no credit ever being issued.  If I'd wanted two CD's and had planned to pay for two, I would have ordered two.

title: Excelente canta autor

text:
Este disco es excelente. Tengo aprox. 30 años escuchando a Frank Q. y no hay una cancion que no me guste. Si hubo alguna, con oirla varias veces me termino gustando. Creo que es un excelente compositor, musico y cantate. He tenido varias oportunidades de oirlo cantar en persona (hace una semana fue la ultima), oirlo hablar en entrevistas e inclusive he conocido personas que lo conocen y nunca he oido nada que me haga pensar que sea una persona como lo quiere etiquetar Mr. Pulido.

Primero, creeria que este espacio es para opinar de los articulos, su calidad y lo satisfecho del que ha tenido oportunidad de poseerlos, no para descargar frustraciones.

Segundo, creeria que para poder juzgar la respuesta de FQ, Mr. Pulido tendria que haber publicado tambien lo que se le escribio al cantante. Por lo que leo entre lineas, hubo mas de un correo por parte de Mr. Pulido, el primero el cual FQ no contesto por las razones que describe, y un posible segundo el cual no muy amigable como lo describe el cantante "...y se dan el lujo de etiquetarnos y faltarnos el respeto...". Si tengo que juzgar a alguien, no seria precisamente al cantante.

title: Not Too Bad, Despite Re-recordings...

text:
This is Carol Butler's son.  I found this collection in the used section at F.Y.E., and I thought it was a good collection.  I knew the songs would mostly be re-recordings, even before reading the disclaimer.  But, for the price, it was worth it.  Most of the songs are pretty good, and there's actually quite a few that are the original recordings.  A few of them include "Lightnin' Strikes" and "I'm Gonna Make You Mine", both by Lou Christie and "Handyman" and Good Timin'", both by Jimmy Jones.

The few songs that are re-recorded aren't too good.  The songs by The Coasters, The Miracles and The Supremes aren't that good.  They don't contain the original lead singers, which is a bummer.  But, the other songs make up for it.

There's a few songs in this set that I'd never heard of, sung by singers I'd never heard of.  They're pretty cool songs, and those singers have pretty good voices.  The set is a mix of American hits and UK hits.  The UK singers were the ones I'd never heard of.

Overall, a pretty good collection of hits of the '50s and '60s.  It would be a lot better if all the songs were the original recordings, but, you can't have it all.

title: BRONX ROCKERS RELEASE AWESOME FIRST ALBUM

text:
HOLY CRAP, someone is still making REAL rock `n' roll music in this auto-tuned, over-hyped, and underwhelming 21st-century musical world.
Little Victories, the debut album from Bronx quintet The Bailey Project, is made up of an even dozen solidly constructed rock songs that range from power ballads that make you want to wave your hand over your head holding a Bic lighter, to muscular exercises in funk and blues-boogie. Bassist Michael Flanagan and guitarist Paul Sliva trade off on lead vocals, while lead guitarist Tim McNally brings The Rock with blistering solos and suave wah-pedal work. Drummer Eric Moeller keeps the sound both meaty and beaty, while the subtle sounds of Brian Chalk on the keys inject texture and counter-melody into the guitar-driven wall of sound. Special mention must be made of the powerful backing vocals provided by Dana Holness, which add a smooth luster to the boisterous mix.
Standout rockers after several listens include Treat Her Right (the full-tilt album opener), Breathe (a high-speed meditation on stress and modern life), the cynical epic Shades of Grey, and Traffic & Chickens (I'm not sure what it's about, but I can't wait for the video).
Word has it the band is already whipping up another batch of home-grown musical goodness, so get in on the ground floor and snag a copy of Little Victories today.


title: More than expected

text:
Ever since seeing her audition on 'America's Got Talent' I had awaited to hear more. I was quite surprised to discover she had released an album in Fall 2017! I had to have it and, I am utterly delighted! Grace has a style and quality wich one can hear echos of Sia and Royal, but still she is her own. And that she wrote and performed each song herself... That is even more amazing.

I will be follow Grace much closer now. I adore the amazing talent!

text: Very happy with outer sleeve inner sleeve and condition of vinyl better than listed.


title: classic record

text: I was looking for this record and found somebody that had it. It was in great shape so I am happy.


title: Brilliant album, poorly thought-out pressing

text: I love this record, but the inclusion of the two so-called bonus tracks was a bad idea: I don't see why "mathematics" without the beat is significant. It is clear they were just trying to fill space, and it frankly ruins the experience of the album to not have it end where it is supposed to.

The recording of Giuseppe Verdi's "Macbeth" under the direction of Giuseppe Sinopoli is simple proof for me, that this conductor is the most outstanding musical champion besides Herbert von Karajan with respect to Verdi operas in general. At one time with full orchestral power, at other times with delicate tones and colours of the vastest varity, with many superb ideas in the interpretation of the witches quires, ideal as a partner for the singers, even if they sing in the quietest way possible: Sinopoli shows that he carries Verdi in his blood, he drinks and inhales Verdi like nobody else.

The singers are excellent without exception. Renato Bruson has the suitable voice for Macbeth, his vocal colour reflects all facets between anger, desperation and weakness. Mara Zampieri has all musical qualities which are necessary for an ambivalent Lady, sharp-tongued and hard in the declamation, when necessary, and fragile and delicate in her inner frenziful monologue. Robert Lloyd as Banco has a beautiful voice and shows, as in the Rigoletto recording, why he is one of Sinopoli's favorites. Neil Shicoff as Macduff has not much to sing in this opera, but he performs his part with passion, a beautiful and immaculate voice and the intensity which is necessary for the character of a mortally grieved gentleman knight.

Resumee: One of Verdi's best operas, a wonderful orchestra, superb soloists and a fantastic conductor. Perfect ! 10 Stars !!!!!


This is simply one of the best live albums ever. Kim's powerful, soulfull voice and passion is unmatched and every song is a powerful anthem that takes you into the heart of worship like nothing else can. Strongly recommended.


title: Epic

text: and beautifully heavy. Artwork is incredibly thorough and majestic. Great release. Play this as loud as you can, trust me.


title: DVD disappointing

text: The DVD was disappointing because it was an incomplete recording of the Hendrix concert.  While you are watching the video, at random and multiple times throughout, the video would stop while the audio continued and a message would appear saying something to the effect that no cameras were running at that time.  Nothing was mentioned about these omissions in any thing I read about this boxed set.  But the audio was very good and I enjoyed that part of the DVD.  If the two audio CDs are a duplicate of the music that is on the DVD (and I assume it is with some additional tracks added), this is still a great addition to the Hendrix library.  Hendrix is one of two of my favorite rock groups or artists, so any "new" material is greatly appreciated!


title: Now and still available digitally

text: This album as well as others almost as good are available digitally downloadable. The Grand Prixe du Disque winning album from The Monks Of The Benedictine Abbey, En Calcat* With Boy's Choir From L'Alumnat was released in 1973. The "A Treasury Of Gregorian Chants (Digitally Remastered)" far exceeds more recent gregorian chant albums in the magical quality of the selections and the production quality of the music.


title: Good Music With Sound Not Doing Justice

text: I know Helmut Zacharias since a youngster, the repatoire and music arrangement are good, the songs titles like Charmaine, Ramona and many more are the everlasting popular nostalgic songs from days gone by. The diappointing factor is the technical quality of the recording, the tone balance was completely off, as the treble was over-emphasised and bass very subdued. You cannot really enjoy the full orchestral quality of the music on the CD. I will certainly avoid the label on my future CD purchases.


title: Albannach Rocks Celtic Pipe and Drum Sound!!!!

text: What a band!  They do stir something primeval in us.  A State Trooper friend of mine that was working a Celtic faire up in Chatam, NY exclaimed that he couldn't get his wife out of that tent. When they started to play people started "running" towards the stage! This captures it.  My husband borrowed my car and asked me what is that drum music on your CD player? it grows on you! Played the CD so much I need a new one and can't buy it?  Who knew?

title: Can't go wrong

text: love these cards.they came early and in great condition


title: If you don't need the photobook don't worry about the "CD only" track...

text: I've enjoyed all of the iterations of Good Day/Redsquare/cignature/Irris and just found out that Redsquare's only release had a "physical only" track called "Spoiler." so I decided I should make the physical purchase.  I'm an older fan, I don't normally get physical releases because I don't need photobooks and photo cards and all of the extra odds-and-ends that are packed into K-pop CDs so I had purchased the digital version years ago which consists of "Colorful" and an instrumental version of the track (which isn't included on the physical copy).  Imagine my disappointment when I got my disc, popped it in the CD drive and found that the exclusive track was only 39 seconds long.  Then imagine the extra disappointment finding that "Spoiler." is an instrumental track.  A "CD only" 39 second long instrumental track... *sigh*...  I'm guessing that "Spoiler." was a tease of Redquare's second release that never happened... I don't know...  The photobook is very nice with some great photos of the girls (my version also had a postcard, photo card and a logo sticker), but as I said earlier if you don't *need* the photobook just buy the digital version for $2 and save yourself a lot of money because "Spoiler." is completely unnecessary with no vocals.


title: Small record

text: I was surprised at how small the record is (the size of a 45 rpm, but with the small hole and speed of a 33 rpm).  That doesn't leave room for very many songs.  I was expecting "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today," but that one isn't included.

title: Excellent Music

I like CD #3 the best, which are their originals (Three CD's and a live concert DVD in the set). The music makes me smile, literally.  It's fun music.  They play pop swing with an occasional twist of jazz; as do most upbeat pop groups, they have a slow song or two, also.  And don't think this is just a singer with some random backup musicians, the Synchromatics are top musical talent.

I've been to several dances where these guys played, I recommend them highly.


title: WONDERFUL

text: all the way to the top I got it for my husband for Christmas and he has played it every day!! he loves it wanted it soon but could not find it in stores


title: Not as rare as you might think

text:
A very good album, if I do say so myself. But the careful shopper can find the same carefully crafted songs, ageless but still shrink-wrapped, for a mere $[...] by going directly through the artist (yours truly). More info at [...].

I am so curious how a copy made its way to Florida, into the hands of a reseller with such a good imagination.


title: Masterpiece

text:
A master piece. Marillion at his best, they don't care about commercial aspects of the music, they don't care about what people are going to think or say about it, they are building their own legacy from an artistic perspective only. Nobody told them what to do or what to change on the lyrics and the music, they could express what they really are. They are free.
This new album is going to get very close to the best ones, "Marbles", "Brave" or "Happiness is the road". It follows the transition already started in "Sounds That Can't Be Made", but it's going deeper into the darkness and the fear of this tidal wave coming upon us...
As "Prog Report" puts it: F.E.A.R is certainly an album that demands multiple listens, time and effort to fully appreciate, but is well worth it...
Very much so...


title: Not real Sailor but worth a listen!

text: This album dates back to its release in 1980, and as the previous reviewer wrote featured  two of the original members - Phil Pickett and Henry Marsh- as well as I think Virginia and Gavin David, session drummer James Stroud and producer bassist Jim Guercio. Virginia sang some lead vocals on songs - Phil Pickett did the others -  and played keyboards, whilst her brother played bass as well. There was a follow up to this album - "TV Land" that was never released, but was reportedly more in tune with the original Sailor sound. Some of its songs are featured on the bands 2006 anthology. This album had the same personnel except Cockney Rebel drummer Stuart Elliot joined the band sessions. I had the original vinyl of 'Dressed For Drowning" many years ago and my initial response when hearing it was that it sounded nothing like Sailor. I did persevere however and came to like many of its songs like Don't Send Flowers, and Danger On The Titanic. They were crafted in the more dramatic pop rock style, and the musicianship was fine. However, as much as it would be nice to have this album, and perhaps "TV Land" seeing the light of day, on cd,it is not one of Sailor's best albums, if it truly can be called that. Methinks more like a Pickett/Marsh effort. Georg Kajanus, the original band leader, lead singer and guitarist was the main brain child of Sailor, and he's absent here, so the sound suffers. Give it a try though, it's worth a listen!

title: Very Impressed

There is another audio cd titled Guitar By the Sea by NatureQuest that is sometimes confused with this cd. The NatureQuest cd contains 15 tracks, this cd has 9 tracks. The cd is very soothing, with gentle guitar strings playing against the soft background of ocean waves crashing into shore and birds chirping. I have seen others trying to locate this particular cd, so if you're one of those folks, this is it.

I first heard this CD about a month ago. My mother was admitted into hospice care after a long battle with cancer. My brother and I heard the CD and found it to be a huge comfort for us and our mom as we struggled through that period. The rest of my family also came to appreciate the cd as well as they each stopped by to visit my mom. My mother recently lost her fight with cancer and needless to say, the cd now has a very special, personal place in my family's heart.

Here is a link to the Amazon seller I purchased it from:

I ordered the CD on Tuesday June 30, 2009 and received it Thursday July 2, 2009. I live in MD and the item was shipped via USPS from Elwood, Indiana. The item was brand new, still in the shrink wrap. I purchased it for $6.95 and $2.00 shipping. Very impressed.

text: CD's usually have 1 or 2 songs I would like but this CD has 9 songs and I love listening to all of them.  Worth every penny.


title: A great Duran Duran spin-off

text:
I am a big fan of Andy Taylor even in his DD days.  His solo projects Thunder & Dangerous are truly a showcase of his craft which was overshadowed by pop synths in Duran Duran albums. This remake compilation is a great musical re-arrangement of old hits of great musicians relived by Andy's musical talent with a crisp irresistible rock n roll taste. Mack Rice's Mustang Sally and Clapton's Cocaine are one of my favourites here. This is strongly suggested a must-have!

Don't believe a word - Thin Lizzy
Stone Cold Sober - Rod Stewart
Feel like making love - Bad Company
Lola - The Kinks
Space Station No. 5 - Montrose
Sympathy for the devil - Rolling Stones
Mustang Sally - Mack Rice
Violence - Mott The Hoople
Cocaine - Eric Clapton
Live Wire - AC/DC

title: Touching!

text: This album has been a favourite of mine over the many years I have listened to it. Brian captures so many facets of the Father heart of God and translates it into different sounds that capture and then remind the listener of this loving God. It also captures the struggles we as earthly fathers face in raising our children. I recommend it to anyone who would want to hear and see more facets of God's love.

title: where's the itch?

text: If there were anyone  with the ability to release this music actually listening, who might care about music of quality being put out into the world without the first impulse being its commercial profit potential,(leaving aside for the moment the interest it might actually bring) who viewed music as art,and something inspirational,it would seem an obvious  labor of love and duty in a way, to see that this would be made available on cd or any format.<br />I wonder who owns the rights to it and whether Milton couldn't buy it or influence its release, Its a soulful recording I'm happy to have purchased on LP when it was released,but it should be out there in whatever format that reaches as many curious souls as possible

title: Great but Misleading

text: I'm very glad I bought this album. It came in mint, factory-sealed condition and came within two days of when I ordered it. Any Tokio Hotel fan should have this, and for newbies, it's definitely the next step to take after their English albums. Unfortunately, if your looking for the German Deluxe Edition (which includes Hey Du, Traume, Screamin' and That Day), this is not it. This is the German Standard Edition. If your looking for the German Deluxe Edition, I'd order it elsewhere, probably straight from Germany. This is a great album, I'm happy with my purchase, just wish there was a little more information beforehand.


title: Nice...

text: This CD was in excellent condition, when I received it. It arrived very quickly, also. I enjoy the tracks very much, but was looking for slightly, slower, smoother sounds. This is my first solo sax CD, and will be adding others.


title: Satisfied.

text: The CD had some visible scratches, and I was concerned. The seller was upfront about that, and stated that it played fine, which it did. I've always bought my CD's new, and take really good care of them, so of course I was happy it turned out okay. I enjoy the tracks, soothing and relaxing.


title: Wonderful cd!!!

text: Five stars for this one; excellent!!!


text:
As the title of this release implies, the new works on the program symbolize motion, in this case motion that grew out of stasis. The Galan Trio, which is based in Athens, Greece, responded to the strictures of the pandemic by initiating a project they called Kinesis, which they defined as “undirected movement”—the undirected part suggested the uncertain future that many musicians faced during enforced lockdown, while movement implied optimistic forward momentum. Reaching to universities across the Atlantic to America, the Galan Trio challenged diverse composers to write music based on the kinetic theme.

From this incentive two U.S. tours developed, to the Southeast in 2021 and the Northeast in 2022. The two discs in the present release reflect the music performed on each tour. Such an admirable project still faces a reviewer with 10 new piano trios, a prospect made more daunting by the fact that all the composers were unknown to me. A general appraisal seemed like a manageable way to begin. Each piece strikes me as a skilled composition from composers who are confident in their means of expression. These means vary widely, as you’d expect, with only a small handful of works coming from the experimental end of the New Music spectrum, while more than a handful rely on a traditional tonal, melodic style.

The Galan Trio deserves praise for their open ears and the flexibility they display in so many idioms. Not every composer took “kinesis” to imply propulsive, or even fast, music. Quite a few pieces have reflective and elegiac passages, which isn’t a surprise given the inward turn that artists often took during the height of COVID. Minimalism crops up here and there, but I was surprised that other prevailing influences, namely jazz, blues, and rock, were largely absent in these pieces. Nothing here is less than intriguing, even though no one is breaking new ground stylistically, and much is enjoyable.

Neuma’s online booklet provides brief composers’ notes that are useful guides for the listener. Paul Richards provides a clear map to Hairpin Turn, which he describes as “a collage of interlocking and related pieces” marked by “numerous sudden and dramatic changes.” The piece is suffused with puckish surprises, and the effect is constantly nimble and often witty. At the more obscure end of the collection’s range, Martin Gendelman’s Ictus derives its title from a musical term defined as the instant a beat occurs or a medical term for a sudden attack or seizure. In the course of 10 minutes Ictus presents many sudden attacks, but there are also queasy glissandos and snatches of melody. If that sounds like a confusing mélange, in fact this is one of the most successful works on the program at sounding new, original, and personal. I’d call it New Music at its most accessible.

Stylistic conservatism appears in the Minimalist-tinged, tonal language of Scott Robbins’s Look of Sky, which I didn’t particularly connect with. Other composers followed Richards’s collage impulse, where contrast and quick changes provide interest, as in Cyanic Outbursts by Yiorgos Vassilandonakis, which dramatically carries out its intent to be “a jolt-like amalgam” of powerful, at times virtuosic gestures. A dark sky looms over Ken Steen’s Attempting to Conjure Joy until animated momentum lifts the mood. The overall effect skillfully juxtaposes poignancy, premonition, and forward motion. The closest we come to pictorialism is perhaps in John Levey’s three-movement Ghost Town Sounds, which is based on walking the Ghost Town Trail in rural Pennsylvania. The suite’s evocative titles—“Blacklick,” “Claghorn,” and “Buena Vista”—bring up depictions of a lost America through Levey’s considerable melodic gift and his feeling for eerie and wistful atmospheres.

I wouldn’t have anticipated that so few pieces here reflect the gloom of lockdown isolation. There’s a joyous imagination at work in Todd Groves’s Dance Music for a Frenetic Mind, a vibrant confection of foxtrot, waltz, and an unspecified Eastern European dance. Nothing is actually frenetic, and there are languid sections in between the dance moves. As with Levey, Groves’s idiom is quite conservative, but that doesn’t impede his ingenuity and inventiveness. Modern means are applied to Baroque forms in Matthew Greenbaum’s Chaconne from a Distance, whose fast passages, we are told, “invariably relate to the Gigue and other Baroque dance forms.” But these antique references are embedded in an accessible atonal idiom that is often jagged and angular. It is fascinating that music has become symbolic for Greenbaum, who tells us that slow passages “tend to represent sleep, the unconscious, darkness, and water.”

Finally, the only piece whose title incorporates kinesis is David Martynuik’s Piano Trio No. 1, subtitled “Kinematic Contraption,” which was conceived early in 2020 before the ensuing lockdown. Its two movements are structurally based on Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio in A Minor, a sonata form first movement being followed by a theme and variations. The overall timing is drastically shortened to eight minutes, however, and nothing thematically recalls Tchaikovsky. The opening Vivace is a whirlwind of passagework with echoes, to my ears, of Shostakovich; the music drives forward more like a toccata than a sonata. The second-movement theme is stated in pizzicato by the cello, and for me the variations that follow also feel like the Shostakovich of the Second Piano Trio, which I mean as a compliment.

The Galan Trio’s playing is always adroit and totally committed to the idiom of each piece, but I especially appreciated the solo work by each member: Petros Bouras, piano, Babis Karassavidis, violin, and Martina Kolovou, cello. I’ll admit to being unenthusiastic about reviewing so many new works before I listened to this release. In the event, however, it turned out to be an exciting discovery with surprises around every corner. As a parting note, when the Galan Trio was founded in 2012, they took their name from a word that connotes “to cast spells, to enchant, to cry, to sing, to scream like a gale.” -Huntley Dent, Fanfare


title: The performances on this disc are beyond criticism, and the music fascinates throughout.

text:
The disc title (and that of David Maki’s piece), Ilta, is the Finnish word for evening, hence the stunning cover photograph. Maki’s composition has been reviewed in Fanfare once before, in a performance on Albany disc Due East by Greg Beyer (percussion) and Erin Lesser (flutes), although rather bizarrely the review (Fanfare 34:4) did not mention the piece except in the headnote. Interestingly, Robert Carl described Maki’s Lake Sonata (again on an Albany disc, this one called Midwest American Piano Project, Fanfare 32:5) as “limpid” and “impressionistic”; those two words equally apply here, particularly “limpid.” It is clear Maki (b. 1966) revels in the beauty of the flute and percussion combination for Ilta (2008). The pitch material is taken from the spectrum of pitches contained in the two low gongs used (CT and EJ). A central section features C flute and glockenspiel. Inspired by a setting Finnish sun that never quite sets (and also with shared experiences with his father around that), Maki writes an atmospheric yet cogent piece.

The performers here, Malika Green (steelpan) and Katie Wiegman Burdett (marimba) commissioned and premiered Maki’s Inertia (2006). It was inspired by a construction project on the com-poser’s house, and how the work was at best sporadic, with massive gaps between activity. Maki reflects this in his piece: he wrote fast music, then wrote slow music, then intercut the two (the two “modes” were composed separately). Amusingly, at the time of writing of the booklet notes, the actual construction project has yet to achieve any sort of completion (although it was promised in about two weeks). Steelpan and marimba is a vibrant combination, the soft beauty of the marimba in stark contrast to the harsher steelpan. Despite Maki’s very real and understandable frustration about the housing project the music itself is of great beauty, the timbral juxtaposition a continual source of fascination The performance is ideal, full of energy in the faster sections then suddenly finding a completely different, more peaceful, mode of expression.
Although Maki’s Out of the Woods (recorded on another Albany disc, Insights, Fanfare 37:5) includes jazz elements (and Maki has a background as both classical and jazz pianist), there is less of that aspect in these works; similarly. the Stravinsky and Bartók influences Marc Medwin found in Maki’s piece Tamarack (on the Albany disc Metal Cicadas, Fanfare 38:4) are not evident here to my ears.

It’s wonderful to have some music by the genius that is Iannis Xenakis here: the first movement of Rebonds (1988), which can also be rendered as Rebonds A (there are two movements, A and B). Kyle Flens plays on two bongos, two tam-tams, and two bass drums. The piece gets ever more complex. Xenakis is rarely less than super-exciting. Flens’s performance takes us on a rhythmic walk that gets ever more complex, and yet there is a sense of analytical control that makes this quite a cool performance. No bad thing: at 2022’s MusikFest Berlin, I was lucky to hear Enno Poppe conduct the Ensemble Kollektiv in Xenakis’s Jalons, a performance of much subtlety which meant that when cli-maxes did come, they held true power. Perhaps this is all part of a reassessment of, or a new chapter in, Xenakis performances. If it is, we live in incredibly rich musical times.

The arrival of electronics (“fixed media”) makes for quite a contrast. Robert Fleisher wrote Loretto Alfresco for tape in his teens. It was recorded at the base of a tree in rural Wisconsin. It is musique concrète that asks the percussionist to use “found” instruments and which puts him in a duet with himself. One critic put it beautifully simply by saying that Loretto Alfresco is drawn “entirely from recordings of a friend striking pots, pans and other items, which Mr Fleisher sped up … and overlaid.” It only lasts a minute, but is fascinating. Separating this from Altro Alfresco is Robert Honstein’s Chorale from An Eternity of Means. The full piece is some 30 minutes long, and it would be good to hear that complete. The Chorale is most beautiful and stately, full of timbral shiftings. There’s no missing the arrival of Altro Alfresco, with its almost martial gait. The composer acknowledges the influence of Frank Zappa in the tape-speed manipulation and overdubbing (Fleisher did actually know Zappa in the 1960s).

The final piece is again by Robert Fleisher: Five Pieces for Flute and Percussion of 2016. It was premiered by the present performers, Stefanie Abderhalden and Kyle Flens. Here as everywhere she plays on the disc, Abderhalden makes such a beautiful sound. In the first movement, “Recollections,” she plays a sonorous bass flute as well as standard flute, enhanced by the percussion of crotales, four tuned gongs, and vibraphone. The sounds are truly lovely; occasionally I was re-minded of Henry Cowell. Each movement of the piece is a Rückblick to an earlier work by Fleisher, Five Songs from Carl Sandberg’s “Prairie” of 2004, while the composer also incorporates some music he wrote in his teens. For “Reconstruction,” the inspiration was Cage: his First Construction (in metal). The structure of Fleisher’s piece is directly modeled on that work. It is fairly extended, cast in 16 sections plus coda. This movement is for percussion only (two brake drums, three cow-bells, three cymbals, glockenspiel, and four tuned gongs) but easily holds the attention, due no doubt in some part to Flens’s sensitive performance. This is the longest movement (11:15), and the arrival of the flute for the Sarabande has a real softening effect. The booklet notes suggest the influence of Satie, and I certainly agree; it’s rather elliptical and yet lovely at the same time. Abderhalden plays with especial grace here, where there is also the shadow of Debussy in his “antique” mode. Fleisher also balances the solo percussion with a movement for solo flute (bass flute, to be accurate): “Elegies,” in which the composer uses material from two “dying soldier” songs. Extended techniques are used to fine, musical effect. The bass flute has a remarkable sound, too, resonant and profound, and the multiphonics sound remarkably soft and appealing. Those inserted melodies take on remark-able poignancy. Finally, “Ensemble” for alto flute and piccolo with crotales, four tuned gongs, and vi-braphone is a rondo (ABACA) that seems to draw it all together in the space of five minutes.

The performances on this disc are beyond criticism, and the music fascinates throughout, all held in a fine recording. Colin Clarke (Fanfare)

title: Monte negro

text: Yes I only got this CD for one song. I already had every song except Anomie (The Blue Armanda), because of Citrax, their first full studio album. I discovered Monte Negro awhile and I heard Me Duele no estar junto ti and I knew then I would lvoe this band. They might look as any other indie/new wave band but they are not. Jason, lead guitar, adds something to his playing that makes his playing unique. They recently changed their drummer, but their previous drummer was awesome and quiet good. Kinsk, I think that's how you spell his name, has a great voice. I dont know for sure who writes the lyrics, but who ever those is just ahhh!! They managed to blend English and Spanish, not only words but phrases, language together in a song. If you dont know spanish, then I'm sorry you cant get the full effect of a song, well the full meaning anyway. Enough about the band get the CD and listen to them. If you like their genre then this your band!

title: MUST-HAVE MASTERPIECE BY LIGHTHOUSE FAMILY

text:
This is a must buy collection of brilliant songs by the British duo LIGHTHOUSE FAMILY who hail from the working-class area of Newcastle in northeastern England. These works are potential timeless classics in years to come, very easy on the ears AND managing to be unforgettable as well. Whether you are stuck in traffic or just need to unwind after a long hectic day, THIS is the album for you to stick into your CD player to help you relax. You won't know what you've been missing until you listen to them!
The vocalist, Tunde Baiyewu has a soothing, uplifting voice that transports you into his world, crooning with clear and precise diction, which is a must for me. LIGHTHOUSE FAMILY comes across as a combination of pop, R&B and soul all rolled into one.  Notables are chart hits LIFTED, HIGH, A QUESTION OF FAITH and of course the title track POSTCARDS FROM HEAVEN, although the entire collection is pure musical magic.
I was apprehensive when purchasing this disc 2 years ago on the strength of their hit single LIFTED, thought I might not like some of their songs. Boy, was I wrong! It still sounds as great today as it did then, if not better.
Rest assured you won't get tired of listening to the LIGHTHOUSE FAMILY, and the messages brought forth by those wonderful lyrics would get you thinking too. This album showcases them as yet another British gem, heard in the likes of Craig David and Seal. I agree with another reviewer that they also contain shades of Level 42. If there were ten stars on offer, this CD deserves to get them all.


title: Great Christmas CD

title: Teen Ballads, Glory Days of Rock N Roll

text: This is one of the best CD's I have listened to since I was a teenager going to the school dances. When I listen to the music I feel like I am 16 again. I love the music. I love the song "Oh Julie" That has special meaning to me. I feel like this will be a two CD set that will get a lot of play time. There is not a bad song among them. I can close my eyes and feel myself dancing to the music. I feel it is wonderful, a true treasure for me to own. It truly has a great selection of songs...Jacqueline Edwards

text: Your Wish Is Your Command is fantastic.  I feel it has changed my life and I am very appreciative for this information.  I loan it out to my friends because I want to pass along the knowledge and hope it will guide them along too.  I like listening to the CDs because I'm still old school and can pop them in my car CD player.  The blue case is very sturdy and I like how it organizes the CDs so I can keep track.  Maybe someday I will get an MP3.  I don't even mind commuting anymore because as I listen to it over and over, each time I feel I glean more positive feelings about life's possibilities.


title: Should be released as CD format

text: This Cd is incredible!! I have been a fan of Silent Generosity for years!!!!


title: This is one of the best unknown bands

text: I ended up getting this at the reunion show in Winston-Salem, NC on April 7th, 2018.  This is one of the best unknown bands.  They have such great songs,coupled with Mark Kano's unique voice.  The music is perfectly crafted.  It's such a great CD from start to finish and shows the band's early work is just as strong as the CD's they would go on to release.

Honestly I would consider it a scam.
When anyone buy for this singer it's about her voice and her music, I was excited it said non stop music.
Don't waist you money

title: Very Good

text: These are very good CD's to listen and learn from, although, they did not help save my relationship as he is seeing several women at one time.  These CD's might help someone who is or was seeing only them.  I would highly recommend the CD's, they are good to listen to.  I wish the person who made them, had more CD's on other relationship problems.

title: Music CD Effective for relaxation and sleep

text: Relaxation and sleep


title: Good album, but get the 2-CD version.

text:
This album is criticised because it is only half the size of the original vinyl, and some HB fans warn that we must buy the 2-CD version (also available on Amazon, as an IMPORT). I have the 2-CD version, and the difference between the tracks listed here and my complete set of tracks across 2 CDs is 3 tracks. This album has 15 tracks, my 2 CDs together have 18. The missing three tracks are:
  - Man Piaba
  - All my trials
  - Merci Bon Dieu (from the Haitian suite)

I don't know whether the vinyl had more than 18 tracks. It is unlikely, because the run-time of a vinyl LP is shorter than a CD filled to capacity. Those readers who own the vinyl may be able to give details.

What is a bit disturbing about this single-CD version is that the different tracks seem to have been remastered at different times. There may be inconsistency in the sound. The sequence of tracks too is different from the 2-CD version.

text: Update to my previous review; after listening to the entire LP the last track is damaged with several deep scratches.


Definately a must have for any Cats fan. I perfer this over the UK version my self. I got the UK version whne I actualy saw CATS in Jan 2008.
They sold the UK origional version at the shopping stands there. I loved that version instantly seeing how it was the only copy I had. I then got my hands on Cats: Complete Original Broadway Cast Recording (1982 Original Broadway Cast)version and found that I love it much more and better. There a few resons for this.

 In case you havnt heard either I will try to explain them to you. The UK sings out the whole song including verses that are not sung during the actual play. No complaint there Where this 1 follows the play exactly. During Grizabellas first apearnce you get remark the cat song but it ends there. In this version you Get Remark and alos when they explain shes an outcast in the first song. The uk has this just before she sings her first part of Memory. In this version she does part of her remark song and then all musical for a few moments.  If you saw the play and remember she was trying to dance to be welcomed. Then she starts he small part of memory.

During Gumby Cat Song. The UK version missing the quick little trumpet horn intro to the song. Where this version it is included. To me missing this dosnt sound right. Not hearing the trumpet dosnt fit to me. To me its part of the song. This version  you do not hear the mid verse to the song. In the play I went to it wasnt sung there either.

A moment of Happines is sung alot slower on this version. Old Duteronemy takes his time and sings it well. During Jemimia part on this verion Her lines Moon light, Turn your self into the moon light, Let your memory lead you, Open your self and turn in, If you find the meaning of what happines is then an new life will begine line is sung just ounce.

On Mungo Gerry and Rumple teaser, Mr Mistofolesse sings it instead of the two actual dancers. To me it was a little disapeointing to me but it grew on me. I love how he adlibs the song out. He does an amazing job.

Mr Mistofolesse song Mr Mistofolesse actualy sings the second part where inthe uk version its Rum Tum Tugger sings the whole song. Sounds great and defiantely is interesting.

In memory this version you actualy hear Munkustrap give his line bout the heaviside lair. It is cut in the Uk version

Journey to the Heaviside lair.
This version is complete to me. Reason I say this Uk version sings the main line twice and thats it. On this version it goes on and follows the play better to me. It includes Up Up Up cross the Jellicle moon lines and then the devinity lines after words. Thats what I saw int he play so it to me is a ton better then the UK version.

Fo me it puts me back into my see that night seeing the play over again. Makes me have memories of where cats were on stage. What they were doing and when. To me it is the better version of both.

text: was a bit pricey for a used CD but since I couldn't find this cd anywhere and I desperately needed the song It's Real for something I'm doing I was grateful to find it.

title: Scott Hamilton Keeping Good Company as Usual

text: I've never heard a Scott Hamilton recording I didn't like (and I've collected 103 albums with him as leader, sideman or featured soloist) and he always keeps good company.  I didn't know of German pianist, Bernhard Pichl before hearing this recording, but he swings just fine on this date (I see there's a live YouTube of a concert close to the date of this studio recording (search for: "Scott Hamilton & Benhardr Pichel Trio") that's terrific, if you want to know how Scott sounds with this trio.  I've heard and seen bassist, Rudi Engel on recordings and videos of Christof Sanger Trio (Rudi swings like crazy and is fun to watch - He really gets into it.)  and drummer, Michael Keul is on a couple of recordings I have of the Dan Barrett - Enric Peidro Quintet. This rhythm section sounds fine together, and Scott blows beautifully as always on a great group of 8 standards including "Taking a Chance on Love," "Three Little Words" and "Emily" (which I found particularly lovely).  If you like Scott Hamilton/tenor sax/small group mainstream jqzz, you can't go wrong with this recording


title: ...and Cheers to the Rhythm Section as well!!

text: I adore Ruby Braff and Scott Hamilton and am an avid collector of their recordings.  Safe to say all Ruby Braff/Scott Hamilton sessions are incredible!!  This one's not a red-hot session, but it's worthwhile for their great sound and consistent performances, also for the great selection of well-known tunes AND John Bunch - piano, Chris Flory - guitar and Phil Flanigan - bass - They are as great a rhythm section as one could imagine!!


title: This Release Rocks

text: I have been a Cuttlass fan for over ten years now and have supported their efforts here locally. This release spotlights their many talants and strong songwriting perfectly. A definate must have for all hard rock music lovers.


title: Still a classic...

text: Impressive musicianship...


title: Very tasteful

text:
This was originally issued in 1975, on Black Lion Records, as The Talk of The Town, featuring just SG and Alan Clare on piano, performing (mostly) beautifully restrained arrangements of ten songs, amongst them many old favourites such as Stardust, Nature Boy, Greensleeves and, of course, the title track.  Late at night, it really is lovely, having been recorded at Anvil Studios in Denham, Buckinghamshire by Eric Tomlinson and Michael Hook and produced by Alan Bates.

Finding it on CD took a bit of doing, but eventually amazon's system traced the title track to this reissue, on which the track order is quite different from the original vinyl release, augmented by three additional tracks (of no particular note) featuring Earl Hines on piano.

The original (and, for me, correct) track order is 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5.  Not amazing, but well worth a look.


title: A little lost treasure

text:
Rick Braun has described this as an album before its time that failed to make any commercial impact, which is pretty well on the mark, not to mention a great shame, because it was actually very good and it's still very good all these years on from 1978.  The eight compositions, all originals and all instrumental, are fresh and lively, the production and recording first class, if a touch bright, and the whole set hangs together a treat.

Rick Braun, Steve Kujala, John Serry and Steve Raybine (as he later reinvented himself) have all gone on to varying degrees of success with their own projects and those of others, but this is much more than just an unsophisticated first outing for a sextet of freshmen musicians in their twenties.  It is, rather, a fine album project in its own right and well worth seeking out, particularly if it should ever be reissued on CD.  For reasons unknown, John Serry left after this first album to pursue a hardly successful solo career (though I still like Exhibition from 1979) and, without his compositional input, the second Auracle album Little City Slickers wasn't as nearly good as their debut (the recording and production quality were inferior too).  But Glider is a minor milestone of its time and genre, recorded at A&M Studios and The Record Plant in LA and produced by Teo Macero and James Di Pasquale.  It leans more towards proper rather than smooth jazz, but it's none the worse for that.  Quality stuff in my book.


title: Ask yourself 2 questions....

text:
1) Do you like bass?
2) Do you like dark bass?
If you answered yes to both of these, just buy this album.


title: Big dirty beats....

text: Definitely a must if you collect his stuff and understand his style but new listeners might be put off by the up and down of the sound quality, it's got a little 'dirt' in the mix. Good, weird collection of instrumental beats that are fringe listening and glad it finally became affordable after seeing it online for upwards of $75 at one point.


title: Great album!

text: This is a great album with catchy more radio driven song as well as deep thoughtful worship. I really respect Jeremy Riddle for being part of the contemporary christian radio and still being true, honest, and down to earth. These are songs that cut to the heart and allow you to sing right along! I definitely recommend to anyone looking for some great worship and tunes!

title: You'll LOVE this Christian band even if you're not Christian!

text:
I'm an atheist but used to be a Christian. I listened to Rackets and Drapes and they were awesome then and are still awesome now. They sound much like Marilyn Manson except...I like them better! You should hear the music. It's dark, mysterious, hard, gothic and ominous. Industrial gothic carnival metal? OH YEAH! The best in music when it comes to Christian metal. Although I'm no longer fond of the lyrics, you gotta love their sound!

If you want something different, interesting, hard and that ROCKS. Definitely check them out even if you're not Christian.

title: Excellent and Effective Morse Code Learning Tool

text:
Preface:  Even though amateur radio operators in the U.S. no longer need to pass the 5 WPM Morse code requirement in order to move up to higher license classes (e.g., General and Extra), Morse code is still an effective mode to use on the HF bands--especially in years of compromised propagation (i.e., when there are fewer sunspots ionizing the ionosphere).  It's also a ton of fun.

I've come across all kinds of people who hem and haw about the difficulty of learning Morse code; however, the key to learning Morse code is to just dive into it and get it done.  Knowledge of the code doesn't just effortlessly appear in your brain.  So, stop the excuses, stop overanalyzing the myriad of learning tools that are out there and just do it.

The "Your Introduction to Morse Code" CDs are the easiest, simplest, fastest and most effective way of passing the test.  Here's why:

This package contains two CDs.  The CD #1 takes you through all the needed letters, numbers and procedural signals ("prosigns, we call them").  Each track is a new character.

The instructor repeats the character several times and each time you write down the character, thereby reinforcing your brain to recognize the character and then have your hand write the character immediately, without giving it much extra thought.

After the first three letters are taught (A, R, and E), the instructor begins to send words using all of the characters you've currently learned.  This effectively reinforces the previously learned characters so that the characters you learned at the beginning of the CD aren't just temporarily learned and then forgotten.  Occasionally, the instructor will also send out sentences that use all of the characters you have currently learned.  By the end of the CD #1 you will have learned all the characters needed to pass the 5 WPM exam.

The brilliance of this package, though, is in CD #2.  On CD #2, you will find tracks containing the following:

--commonly used phrases on the HF bands (e.g., tnx for "thanks," cul for "see you later," and FB for "fine business").
--sample QSOs (i.e., conversations between hams).
--randomly sent characters to test your recognition abilities.
--and, most importantly, sample code tests.

It is by listening to and being able to transcribe these sample code tests that will practically guarantee you a passing grade when test day comes around.  The reason being is that these sample code tests accurately reflect the same kind of test that you will be taking in real life.

You see, once you learn from CD #2 the standardized format of having the stations identify one another, state their names, their locations, their antennas, their rigs, their RST reports, the weather and proper sign-off procedures, you will simply encounter the same kind of QSO on the real test.  It's like practically knowing ahead of time 85% of the test--the only things fundamentally different will be the callsigns used, equipment used, locations, etc.

As mentioned, you have to rise up to the challenge of learning Morse code.  Having short but frequent learning sessions with CD #1 over a three-week time-period is what is realistically required on your part.  This means listening to CD #1 once to twice a day for 20-30 minute intervals.  If you stop for more than two days, you'll have to spend extra time catching up.

After CD #1 is absorbed, CD #2 can probably be mastered in another two weeks.  Your mileage may vary.  Keep studying all the way up to your code test and you will have no problem.

So, in closing, FB OM VY 73 DE KG6PCA AR SK

title: A nice surprise...

text: Partland Brothers did a very nice job on that one.More the half of the songs on this album is a hit,in my opinion.It's a nice following of their debut album,Electric Honey.A little bit of rock,a little bit of 80's keyboard and a voice of it's own...Wow!I enjoy listening to it every time i put it on.One of my best song is "Too Quick To Judge".Good 80's rock suggestion for your CD collection.

title: Rawr

text: my husband absolutely loves it when I where this for him! I swear he can't keep his hands off me!


These original recordings are great and remastered with obvious care. The only reason I'm giving this 3 stars is with all these songs they left out one of the most popular of the time that being " There's a long long Trail" my grandfather was in ww1 and used to sing that song often. I can't imagine what the people who compiled this were thinking because  leaving out this song is like building  a car without  an engine.


title: A rare gem

text: I received this CD as a gift years ago.  I hadn't heard of Peggy Bertsch, but once I listened to this CD I was blown away by it's beautiful lyrics and outstanding instrumentation.  I have tried to find more recording by Peggy, but to no avail.  Her clear, sweet voice and keen interpretation of 10 great songs are remarkable.


title: AMAZING

text: IT DOES'NT GET BETTER THEN THIS,EVER SEEING AND HEARING BETTY BUCKLEY ON BROADWAY IN SUNSET BLVD.EVERY TIME I SAW THIS SHOW WITH BETTY STARRING IN IT.THE SHOW WOULD STOP FOR HER TO GET A STANDING OVATION,DURING THE SHOW.NEVER IN ALL THE SHOWS I HAVE SEEN ON BROADWAY,HAVE I EVER WITNESSED BEFORE.SHE WAS MADE TO PLAY NORMA.THANK GOD I SAW IT MORE THEN ONCE.I WILL HAVE THE MEMORY OF HER IN THIS SHOW FOR EVER.THANKS BETTY.AND HEARING THIS CD BRINGS IT BACK TO ME EACH TIME I PLAY IT.THANKS FOR THIS. HARRIS WILENSKY


title: Amazing singer

text:
I recently bought this cd because I love the "Lieder' and music of R.Strauss.This singer is amazing,I gave up on ever finding a tenor of this quality.Kaufmann find's a different voice for every song,his heroic tenor can sound soft,exuberant ect.There is no one this day's who come's even close to this.I am tired of tenor's like Bostridge who has at best a thread for a voice ,or Florez,who goes on my nerves after three Arias,so it is good to have Kaufman around,am looking forward to many more recording's.I preordered his cd "Romantic Aries'.
Hopefully the record companies will not ruin his voice with a lot of Wagner.The critic find's his voice reminiscent of Wunderlich,what nonesense,just because Wunderlich is one of his idols (the greatest German tenor).
He is a first J.Kaufmann,not a second Wunderlich.


title: Great purchase... heart and soul in every song!

text: Ryan has shown us his heart and soul in every song on The Sentimentalist. The sounds on this CD evoke emotions and inspire my body to move. It's love and sex and misery and happiness, it's a story, it's rock, and soul, and folk, and blues; it hits on some 90s nostalgia for me. I often find myself singing along in the car. You should definitely make this purchase and support his work.


title: Live across America-Josh Turner

text: It's excellent. I heard a friend's copy of it. I'm not even "that much" into country music like my friends are, but Josh Turner was new to me and he has a most remarkable, great voice. It was a good purchase & I am enjoying it.

title: Lovely stories for children

text: Mindy Mousekins is delightful!  My son loves it!  I was skeptical, only because being a 7yo boy, I thought he would be bored by it.. he is so interested in weapons and battle!  But it kept him very happy on our drive to Portland last weekend and he has been happy to listen to it since then as well. Very entertaining and sweet.


title: Lita Ford autographed (ep cd)

text: Love it. A cherished possesion.


title: Gershwin at its Best

text:
Jeffrey Siegel, Leonard Slatkin and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra present what I think is the finest presentation of Gershwin's works for piano and orchestra.  The Rhapsody in Blue is the best ever, and is the only version of several that I have that I listen to.

There is also a 2-disc Vox Box set that contains all of Gershwin's piano and orchestra music by this same excellent combination of performers.


title: Uninhibited Unleash of Sound and Fury

text:
All right, you've heard it, and from two excellent reviewers, both with far more experienced ears than mine. But because I am indeed very very thankful to have this disc now in my collection, I will add my own two cents.

Ralph said that the Berlin Phil played like it would be shot if it failed to impress the Russians. I'd say that they played as if it didn't matter what the Russian critics thought. They played like the whirlwind, not giving a thought to what others might have said. They played as if they were bullet-proof. We are trying to say the same thing, really.

Surely there are many versions of Beethoven 5th. Despite the many admirable renditions existing, however, it is still difficult to find a truly satisfying account simply because it requires SO much force to convey the power embedded in these notes. With every repeat, every step-up in the scales, the dynamics and the intensity have to follow. The music simply builds and escalates and piles on as if the floodgates have opened. The musical movement itself is very spontaneous, like the growth of a baby elephant into a giant elephant.
Well, this Karajan account truly matches up! The Berlin Phil played as one unit - as it always could under a great conductor. But this time the orchestra is also fully behind Karajan, sharing his vision and adhering to his interpretation for this piece. You hear THE Karajan's Beethoven: precise, stylish, sensitive, clean, driven, ambitious, forward, active - nay, aggressive, and very powerful. There is no holding back, no reservations, and the music-making is very spontaneous. There seems to be an unlimited reserve in the orchestral ability to produce sound and beauty at the same time. Legato is right where it should be. Cut-offs are no-nonsense.

Love the 6th as well. It is not a sunny summer afternoon to lounge around and take a nap. It is an autumn afternoon with a cool breeze between your hair. You are walking towards a familiar and beloved spot and your steps are brisk and springy. There is a sense of anticipation and gladness that makes you hurry, and people wonder why you walk so quickly. But you know why and you see through their curiosity. You calm yourself down as you approach that glorious place and sit on the grass.
For the Pastoral, I think Karajan agreed with Berlioz that "there can be no doubt that the author created that admirable Adagio [scene by the brook] lying on his back in the grass, gazing up at the heavens, his ears fanned by the breeze, charmed by thousands upon thousands of soft reflections of sound and light, seeing and at the same time hearing the sparkling silver ripples of the brook breaking on the pebbles of the bank with a gentle plop: it is enchanting!" His take overall is more consistent with his '63 version than the 80s version (not that he varied too greatly between the two) - but there is tremendous sense of orchestral color here. And imagine the storm - I'm listening to it right now - I am tempted to check the weather. Even if there are glitches, it simply doesn't matter. It is a more youthful interpretation, perhaps, than the later versions, and I think I like the 63 version of the last two movements slightly better.

The Coriolan is played by the same orchestra under the same conductor with the same kind of power. The dynamic range is incredible. Very intense.
The Russians were no fools either. They gave enthusiastic responses corresponding to whichever they thought was the greatest. You'll be able to tell.

The sound quality of the disc is (surprisingly?) great. Love it!


Cool.  Glad to see the homies put something out.  The tracks are ok.

title: Butter smooth

text:
When I first heard 'Raincloud' on the radio station a few years ago, I was totally blown away. Suddenly, sophistication has found a new name: Lighthouse Family.
Lighthouse Family has been around for a few years now and consists of vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and keyboardist Paul Tucker, both from Newcastle. Though it was their first single 'Ocean Drive' which got me noticing them, it wasn't until I heard 'Raincloud' that I became seriously interested in their music.
'Postcards from Heaven' is nothing short of a smooth steady ride of uplifting tunes, soulful listenings and unpretentious lyrics. Lead singer Tunde Baiyewu may come across as a shy and understated individual but his voice speaks volume. Smooth, sexy and ultra slick - such is the sound of Lighthouse Family.
Production value of this album is superb. A fine mix of electronic and acoustic instrumentation coupled by Baiyewu's charming laidback vocals make this album a must for all easy listening fans.
Personal standout tracks: 'Raincloud' and 'Lost in Space'.

title: A great CD of Indie punk and metal bands!

text: I bought this CD at a show in Milwaukee almost twenty years ago. The band Gasoline Heart (the original Gasoline Heart, not the Paul Westerberg revamp) blew me away. Their music is classic post-grunge, the singer a cross between Billy Corgan and Kurt Cobain. Other good bands on the disk are Wheelie King, Epiphany and Orange Ruffy. Check it out, definitely worth the money!

Paul Lussier was supposed to write another book on Thomas Payne, which I anticipated for several years.  He never published such a book.  Too bad.  Lussier has a gift for bringing the past to life and into ours in such an entertaining way.


title: From Jacobstone to Northern Room

text: Jacobstone has some amazing songs!!  Although they are no longer a band, two of the members, AJ and Tony, formed the band Northern Room, which is just as good if not better than Jacobstone.  There are definately similarities between the two, but Northern Room includes an even more fresh, upbeat sound.

title: Great CD

text: I would easily rate this as one of the ORB's top 5 albums.  I liked every track.  The vocals are great, though the instrumentation is not as melodic as some of their albums from the 70's and 80's.  I think both the ORB and their fans are short-changed by having this as a limited release CD.

title: Great Country C D

text: Although I am not a huge C & W fan, I found this CD extremely well done. Ms. Jack has a vocal range that is superb. I found that her singing is always on key and timing is perfect. The talent of the musicians backing her is also show quality. The CD mastering and mix was excellent. There is obviously a lot of experience all around in this endeavor, and it shows. After listening to the whole CD, it really reminds me of Hank Williams' type of songs and lyrics. "I'm Not Over You", "Sure Had A Good Time" and most of all "Love and Honor." Very powerful lyrics here. If you enjoy country music, you can't go wrong with this one. Well Done Ms. Dottie!


title: The verses will stick for a life time!

title: ... of those CD's you play and it is one good song after another

text: It's you of those CD's you play and it is one good song after another.  That was my 1st impression from the 1st<br />listen.  Consider this, how many times have you purchased a well known artist and the song or two you have heard are the only real highlights from the set.  Not this, solid all the way through which is not the norm for many artists.

text: This music collection is great for enjoying refelections of songs from the 50's abd 60's.  This is the first album of a set.


title: Good but needs more executive summary editing help.

text: I love love love Bethenny Frankel!!! Her words and life are very very inspirational indeed... However, this audiobook version is waaaaaaaaaaay too long in 10 discs what could have been accomplished in 2 discs. Waaaaaaay too verbose unnecessarily.


title: This one's a treasure!

text: I cannot believe my best friend found this on CD.  I have had it on tape for so long and played it so much that the words are all rubbed off.  I am not eloquent in describing music but this cd is a must have.  I have seen this band (when they were still together) twice at small gigs in LA.  It rocks.  It has unique love songs.  It just is powerful, fun, amazing music!


title: Fantastic

text: I bought this album (literally, album, not CD) in 1982 and listened to it repeatedly as a child (much to the dismay of my parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who owned the record players upon which I played it).  It's one of the best pipe band albums I've ever heard.


title: Great CD by Patrick Fitzgerald

text: Patrick Fitzgerald is back with the EP Landed. This EP has 7 wonderful tracks. This cd is a further progression of Patrick's work with Kitchens of Distincion. The cd opens up with the haunting sound of 'Walden' which leads nicely to the vocals which lead into the next track 'Land'. The songs that follow are all great. They cover a wide range of territory and are more intimate than his earlier work. My favorite song is currently 'Krave' (especially the ending "where we go tonight? take me to tokyo"). The lyrics are excellent ("10am drunk again is this the style of writer's with prizes?" - 'Nobel Prize').  The music is brilliant as well as can be seen in track 'Childhood Poetry'. The production is awesome - the songs are all very clear and the cd artwork is cool. This cd is a must buy for KOD fans as well as new listeners.
