title: Overlooked and Underappreciated Recordings!

text: These two albums released in the early 1970's by John (Rabbit) Bundrick have aged well over time. I initially bought both of these albums on vinyl back in the day because they were from a latter day member of the band Free (Bundrick having been keyboardist and supplying backing vocals on Free's Heartbreaker album).Also,  because they were both released on the legendary Island Records Label. Usually a guarantee of good tunes in store!  I didn't warm up to them back then because I guess I expected something similar to Free, but I now see that my expectations were misplaced. I recently decided to buy the 2 on 1 cd of these albums and give it another try. Boy, am I glad I did. As the decades have passed I am not so taken with hard hitting rock music as I was in the 70's and I find that Rabbit made two beautiful albums. Is it rock music? Yes. Does it sound like latter day Free? At times. But what you get here are well crafted songs with beautiful textures from Rabbit's keyboards and sensitive vocals along with a stellar cast of supporting musicians. Bundrick sounds like no one else, and that is a good thing. If you miss the quality rock music that so many bands and artist from the 60's and 70's offered up , get hold of a copy of this 2 on 1 release and I think you will find it to be an unexpectedly pleasant trip back in time!

text: Who doesn't remember the great romantic sounds of Jackie Gleason and his orchestra.  They warm my heart and set my heart afire.


title: Beautiful, inspiring, comforting

text: So beautiful you will listen to it many, many times. The musicians are very talented and these traditional hymns and chants, especially those in Latin, will surely draw you closer to God.<br />I recommend it highly especially in this time when our churches are closed to us and sometimes we need shoring up until public Masses and devotions resume.


title: Still in love with the Beatles -- ALL 4!

text: I love it all, but my favorite track is "You Know my Name," which is never played on the radio and isn't available on any of their original albums -- the flip side of "Let It Be."


title: Cracked cd

text: I did a 2 star because my grandfather only played it once or twice since it arrived and now the second cd has a crack in it and it can’t be played

title: The "old German Lady" is real!  Based on a real person.

text: I was the "old lady", and gave it my best shot at the time.  Personally I have grown so much.  Back then...  it was an amazing experience.


A little too much saxophone for my taste, but a nice collection. Mix of vocal and instrumental. Makes a nice change from the old standards trotted out on many polka collections: Roll Out the Barrel, Pennsylvania Polka, etc.


title: Goldsmith's Last Trek

text: Jerry Goldsmith's sweeping music for the last of the TNG movies and sadly, the last Trek movie before his passing.


title: Excellent Gift!

text: Fantastic CD!


title: FANTASTIC!!!

text: Not only is Scotty Meyer THE BEST blues/rock guitar player!!!, not only is this the best sounding--you are there, but also one of the best rock, R&b, blues, pop albums of all time!!! Boy are you going to enjoy this one. There are only two so-so selections: the rest are excellent to outstanding. You will hear heavy metal rock, blues, blues rock, but mostly R&B. The other band members are top notch. GET IT!


title: Cool Easy Listening

text: If you're of the type who can appreciate easy listening music, your library is not complete without some Bert Kaempfert.  This is a fairly well-rounded collection of Bert's tunes.  Recommended.


title: Easy listening

text: While not a big Sinatra fan, I did enjoy the selections on this album very much.  Nice, lively music for a gathering.

title: Terrific sountrack

text: Terrific show and great soundtrack!


title: Rilling know how to perform JS Bach

text: I have never been disappointed with Helmut Rilling going back to the early recordings on MHS vinyl.  This performance does not disappoint.  It is clean and melodic.  A work this long has to be well done to be listened to.


title: Not all the music was great back then

text: I was put off by Ladyhawke's review, but then saw the other albums she had purchased. I bought this also for Uptown Girls. I probably didn't bump into Ladyhawke at Starck, Dada, or even Club Clearview. Maybe Mistral if she caught a holiday? That is the music that was there on the original album. Not all the music was great back then. Stick Men with Ray Guns? Ok, they had their moments. Just don't stand too close to the stage. Can't find this anywhere else. Unless Ladyhawke digi-downloads it...I am sorry that "... I mean this music made me physically ill to listen to it." and" The person who gave this album 5 stars must be really sick." Maybe they just liked the one song five stars worth and couldn't find it somewhere else. Dunno, 30 years makes some people critical and others just appreciative.


title: Amazing!

text: This is an amazing album!


title: Kyungsoo is my bias!

text: Arrived on time. This is a great album. I got kyungsoo version with baek photocard. The only bad side was that there was a deep indentation on the front cover, probably from shipping. Otherwise, im satisfied with this order.

text: I decided to buy all versions of DMUMT and im not diappointed. Came with a folded poster. I got kai pc and chen postcard. Im very happy with my purchase.


title: You can call me Monster!

text: One of the best era in my opinion. Exo delivered an amazing album. I got the album in perfect condition. I got kai photocard. Now time to buy the lucky one version 🤣


title: Lotto~

text: Another great album from exo. Delivered on time. Slight damage on the corner but i dont mind. The only fault i could find, if a fault at all, is that it can easily be dirtied since the cover is white. I really love the songs in this album. I got suho pc with it.


title: Solid!

text: I have a loved one on the spectrum and decided to listen to this course to educate myself. I had a good grasp on Asperger characteristics already, but was impressed with how much more there is to understand. The real-life examples that Genaux talks about are valid illustrations, and just plain interesing!<br />It's solid information with valuable tips. I recommend this to any of us who are striving to connect in a meaningful way with our little friends and loved ones who are growing up and learning themselves "how to thrive" with Aspergers.


title: Good item, thank you

text: Good item, thank you


title: Perfect

text: Exactly what I was looking for


title: Good clean & joyfull fun for kids! Even nostalgic adults will love it!

text:
This is an album from my childhood. It has cute little songs small children will love, and it's clean fun. Some are counting songs, and some are sweet, and some are nonsense.

As children, (there were 6 of us,) we would memorize the songs and sing them on road trips, or just for fun.

You'll love this little part of history, when innocence lasted past the 3rd grade.


title: "Rare" Roland !

text: Any fan of Roland Alphonso or instrumental reggae in general should try and pick this one up. Its been out of print for some time now, and is really hard to find. Its a sort of reggae meets jazz session. The liner notes have no personel info, so it's diffecult to say when  or where it was recorded and with who, other than Jerry Johnson.<br />Since there is so little stuff out there by Roland Alphonso anything is good!


title: Great.

text: Great.


title: BUY THIS BEAUTIFUL RECORDING

text: THE FILM, "COCOON" IS BRILIANT & ENCOMPASSES EVERY HUMAN EMOTION FOR ADULTS. IT RANKS IN MY TOP 10. THESE PRAISES AREN'T LIMITED TO THE MOVIE BUT ALSO FLOW INTO THE SOUNDTRACK - WHICH I ABSOLUTELY CHERISH. I'M A 65 Y.O. MALE & I WAS WIDOWED 11 YRS AGO. I'M DEPRESSED, LONELY & AFRAID WITH NO FAMILY OR FRIENDS. BUT, WHEN I FIND LIFE'S CHALLENGES TO BE TOO MUCH, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS IMMERSE MYSELF INTO MY MUSIC & THE "COCOON" SOUNDTRACK SOOTHES MY EMOTIONS. THIS SCORE IS BEYOND COMPARE TO ANY OTHER SINCE IT'S SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL. I OWN THE LP & CASSETTE FOR THIS & THE RECORD IS NOW WARPED & CAN'T BE PLAYED & THE CASSETTE, WHILE STILL PLAYABLE, HAS THE LINGERING "HISS" COMMON WITH THIS FORMAT. WITH THIS CD, I CAN NOW ENJOY THE MUSIC IS PERFECT CLARITY. CONSUMERS: DON'T HESITIATE - BUY THIS WONDERFUL MUSIC CD & YOU'LL ENJOY IT FOREVER.


title: Serious audio problems on master transfer

text: Serious audio problems . Audible cracking sound on first two concertos, and lesser artifacting throughout.  I tried Cleaning the disk, which did nothing. Then, Bought a second copy. Exact same problem exists in same places. This should be withdrawn from circulation. Apparently, another version of same recording was released later, available on this site for considerably more cost. Presumably that is a fixed version.


title: Poseidon DVD

text: The movie may have sucked but the score is terrific and poster artwork is out of this world too. I loved it!


Was a little disappointed it only had 4 songs on it, but it is a great cd. Rascal Flatts are one of those great bands.

Romance is a Slow Dance is one of my faves. Glad to find more of Mollie on Amazon. I'll always be a fan.......

title: A MUSIC MUST HAVE FOR ANY FAN OF THE 1960 FILM !

text: As a great fan of the 1960 motion picture "THE TIME MACHINE" I love listening to this amazing re-orchestration of the original Russell Garcia music.  For me, it truly captures the heart and soul of both the film and that original music recording.  This edition reflects all of the double enjoyment one can experience from both the music and the film.  The mood and character of the music has an incredible dynamic range from light and whimsical to downright suspenseful and scary.  The film was a masterpiece work for both George Pal and Russell Garcia.  Both are unique and share a very proud place in motion picture history.  I give this new work my highest endorsement.  It is worth every penny and I was certainly not disappointed in its stellar performance.  Hold onto your seat and prepare to be transported back to the year 1900 and then jet ahead at light speed to the year 802701 !!!  I envy you the experience.


title: Jackie Fans Still Out There and it STILL Trickles Down...

text: Nancy Siranni and Jackie Martling divorced and still, her biggest fans, or those curious about her music, are... or were... fans of the Stern show. Goes to show ya. The song Cocoon is actually, truly, a good song, and not just hippie-filler like some of the other tracks, Jefferson Airplane light. To this day if someone else, like a young starlet/singer, covered Cocoon it would work, truly. As for this CD, again, it's better than one would think. Nice acoustic guitars bordering on outdoor-festival fare and coffee shop pretentious: yet leaning more on the first. The main problem with the recording, which sounds like a self-made "vanity project," is the vocals are much too loud, drowning out music that's supposed to mean everything. The Big Orange boys in the band take a backseat but, is that a surprise?


title: Dukes of Dixieland

text: Good Stuff!  I love Dixie Land and Ragtime Music and they do justice to the music.<br />Swing and Sway! Makes a blue day sunny & bright.


title: Five Stars

text: Movie soundtrack, this is in the top 50.  way cool


title: I still love the music to this movie

text: As a soundtrack guy, I still love the music to this movie.  The movie sucked, but the director's cut is way better.


title: A dark void of sound

text: This music is very dark and eerie with atmosphere , it would make a perfect soundtrack to some movie. I like this musicians style of sounds which takes your mind to other worldly places and thought.


title: Not bad but could be better

text: This is not the best DVD on homelessness but it has it's moment from the interviews we see in this documentary. It would have been better if more detail interviews of homeless on the streets were shown and daily struggles instead of one on one camera interviews. Try, "It was a wonderful life " now out of print I believe ? or Without a home. I watch the homeless documentaries because it can happen to me , and to make yourself more aware of how you live your life and to be careful how you spend and save your money. Do not take anything for granted nothing is guaranteed ,not a job and not our health. Anyone of those two things or both we can become homeless.


title: Dark and Mesmerizing

text: This is a Excellent dark journey into your conciousness, moody and relaxing ,this music envelopes the listener into another world.Perfect for Reading  a book or to relax alone at home or for helping with sleep it is enjoyable.Also great with headphones in noisy areas or stressful situations and yoga excercise as well.


title: Make sure its not used

text: Disappointing spending that much on a USED CD!


title: She plays with passion

text: Wonderful classical violin pieces. Played by a wonderful violinist.  Sarah Chang has been to the area where I live twice, both times I went to hear and watch her play.  Even though I am no where near qualified to be an expert on classical music; I felt she was excellent in her performances and displayed a remarkable passion for playing the violin, which I did not realize could be expressed.  This passion can be heard in this collection of her albums.

text: An amazing work.


title: Bring Out Your Claws and Snarls

text: Great slab of death metal from these guys, I don't know if it's musicians from old DM bands (I'll have to check) or all brand new talent, but they nailed it with this one. All the songs are well played and raw, without a bunch of guitar doodling and music so technical that you can't follow it. Which is great in today's DM world. It's in my top ten best of 2020, and will rip right through you with short sweet, carnivorous rage!! Enjoy!! I've already been through it nearly 20 times. ;o)


title: Not sure why there aren't more review on these guys.

text: Great metal, sure most "Death Metal" sounds the same especially when it's in the old school vein, like Obituary, Six Feet Under, and Boltthrower. But these guys keep it fresh on every album, while sounding the same yet doing something different. The production is always good, sometimes great. And the overall sound is raw, with short and sweet songs. Also they have a unique sound that just really draws you in, at least it did me. Much like Morgoth, Contrarian, Deadborn, and many others. Obscenity just don't rely as heavily on being technical with blast beats on every song, pummeling double bass and 3 and 6 string sweeps galore. They are like the Sabbath of more simplistic death metal. And make it all about the songs and riffs. Which is what metal (no matter what type) SHOULD be about. :) . I can give this SAME review on about all of their albums, especially Summoning the Circle (2018). And Retaliation is the one that got me started, but start anywhere with this band if this is your type of DM. You'll love it.


title: Great cd

text: Love it. Love it. Love it.


title: Highly disappointed to purchase this by reading the overwhelming high ratings ...

text: Highly disappointed to purchase this by reading the overwhelming high ratings for this recording. The only thing I can see how people are rating this high, they have a blinding biased love for The Outlaws... or their expectation in sonic quality is very low. There is absolutely no bottom end. The mids and highs are fine, but definitely unbalanced. The bass and drum bass are barely present, which just makes it more unbalanced.<br />The recording is cringe worthy. Yes, I enjoy and expect great sonic quality. The other reviewers gave me the impression this was a great sounding CD. It is not. This reminds me of a garage band sound, or worse... a bootleg. I just don't find myself listening to this again. In fact I'm looking to resell it.


title: ... had the soundtrack for the original songs but was sad the classical numbers were not included as they were ...

text: I had the soundtrack for the original songs but was sad the classical numbers were not included as they were so integral to the story.  This is a great recording from a wonderful source.

title: bad subtitles

title: Finally a FULL soundtrack from a classic movie

text: Now finally we can hear a great soundtrack from the classic movie Gremlins. Always a hard to find soundtrack, but now this special edition has at last come out to showcase a great, fun and awesome album in its entirety, just plain great. Jerry Goldsmith has delivered a great chance to hear the album uncut and in all its awesomness.


title: Transports You Right Back in the Jungle!

text:
This powerfully primordial music terrifyingly scores director Steven Spielberg's hit TV movie about a travelling salesman (Dennis Weaver) murderously pursued by an unseen driver in a bug-spattered, oil-belching semi-truck!  Spielberg and composer Billy Goldenberg were INSANE, DEEPLY DISTURBED!

The stereophonic sound quality is fantastic, worthy of anything else Douglass Fake at Intrada Records has painstakingly remastered!  I can't believe this music came from a 1971 TV movie!


title: Top Marks!

text:
Bravo to Jerry Goldsmith and Intrada Records for providing the complete, definitive MOVIE version of Goldsmith's classic score to the 1978 NASA conspiracy thriller, Capricorn One, written and directed by Peter Hyams (2010-The Year We Make Contact)!

Perhaps taking a cue from his colleague (and competitor) in the '70s, John Williams (Jaws), and from his own Broken Vows in 1976's The Omen, when Damien refuses to go into church, Goldsmith here builds extreme suspense and tension in a simple yet menacing eight-note (two notes alternating between each other) motif, that underscores the dark government forces which are beginning their evil mechanations in creating a 30 billion dollar hoax, a fake mission to Mars.

The eight-note motif enters suspiciously, with minimal instruments, in Abort 1 and Abort 2, not laying all the cards on the table all at once, keeping us, as well as Capricorn's astronauts, in the dark, just giving us a hint, telling us all we need to know in those moments, that something is not right, that there is evil afoot.  Brilliant.

Later, we hear the eight-note motif mixed in with full orchestration in some very exciting action sequences, as the astronauts escape the warehouse that has been converted into a TV soundstage that has a mockup of the Martian landscape.  The eight-note motif continues, with menacing low brass, as we see two nasty pursuing government bubble helicopters that have been ordered in to assassinate the astronauts, who are now on foot walking across the broiling desert!

Amidst this fight for survival is the very warm love theme for Bru, the lead astronaut (James Brolin) and his wife Kay (Brenda Vacarro), which serves as a nice counterpoint to the vicious murders attempting to be committed, and gives Bru the will to survive.

Every note of music from the film is here, even a brief incidental piece when the Vice President makes his way to the launch site (which really belongs, if you were to play this score in sequence as how it was heard in the film, between track 1-Main Title and track 2-Abort 1) and a piano lounge bar background music rendition of Bru & Kay's love theme, which is playing when NASA computer programmer Elliott Witter tells his reporter friend Robert Caulfield (Elliott Gould) that the television transmissions of the mission must be coming from a place "much closer" than Mars.  As in the film, when this piece ends, the eight-note motif enters, chillingly, as Caulfield comes back from a bogus phone call only to discover that his NASA computer programmer friend, who clearly knew too much, is missing, never to be seen or heard from again!

There is even a longer "concert" version of Breakout, which, naturally, has different instrumentation and no breaks.  This is similar to the version of "Breakout" found on Capricorn's initial LP soundtrack release.

This score is a major, majestic landmark in Goldsmith's extraordinary career of amazing scores, just after he finally won his first long-overdue Oscar for The Omen in 1976, and just before he'd do the now-legendary score to Star Trek-The Motion Picture in 1979, before he'd tackle such diverse projects as Poltergeist for Steven Spielberg and the first of what would become three Rambo films, First Blood, in 1982.

Yes, $100+ is pricey, but if you want Jerry Goldsmith's complete note-for-note score to Peter Hyams' 1978 action/suspense thriller, look no further!


First rate service,and the CD is great and worth the value put on it, many thanks!


title: Wonderful!

text: Not a great album but needed it for my collection of the 91 remasters cause the 2000 remasters suck


title: The Most Under-Rated Holiday Album of All Time

text:
Hallmark began releasing annual holiday albums in 1985. In later years, most featured a popular singer (Julie Andrews, Natalie Cole, Vince Gill, Trisha Yearwood, to name a few), but in the early days, most focused on the London Symphony Orchestra and perhaps a featured singer or two. This album, the third installment in the series (1987), utilized the great German tenor Peter Hofmann, best known for his performances of Wagner's works, and outstanding soprano Deborah Sasson, to whom he was married at the time.

Much of what's on this album is the standard holiday fare, but the arrangements of these songs is what makes them special. There are no pop, rock, or jazz versions of any song on this album; everything is orchestral and is arranged in a most unique way, with quite a bit of technicality in the songs. It opens with "Sleigh Ride" in G Major, up one whole step from how many orchestras perform it. The jazz section is omitted, but I can guarantee you'll walk away impressed with this particular rendition by the LSO.

Next comes "Silver Bells", a Hofmann/Sasson duet. Think of the Bing Crosby and Carol Richards duet, but in a more formal, traditional context. The arrangement sounds especially sentimental and paints that perfect picture of a past Christmas in one's mind. It's followed by "The Holly and the Ivy", definitely not the most performed carol, which is done in a choral arrangement. This isn't the version you played on the piano in second grade, either--it's a rollicking, upbeat, modern orchestral take on the song.

Sasson's "Silent Night" is the only letdown on this album. She sings it beautifully, but the arrangement is lacking punch and C Major just doesn't fit this song well. Had she sung it in, say, E flat major, and the arrangement had featured more dramatic builds in the background, the song would have been perfect. Immediately after this song, you're greeted by arguably the best arrangement of "O Tannenbaum" of all time. It starts with a quite flute solo--a tiny pine cone--and builds into a giant evergreen. The first side ends with "O Holy Night", a Hofmann solo, which also builds much like "O Tannenbaum" does. This song is Hofmann at his most powerful on the album and showcases his abilities extremely well.

On to the second side (if you have the cassette, at least; I'm not sure if the LP also switches sides here). "Home for the Holidays" is another Hofmann/Sasson duet, and opens with extremely soulful vocals by Sasson, just like that relative who is beckoning you to travel from Tennessee to Pennsylvania and that homemade pumpkin pie come the holiday season would sing the song.

The next song deserves mention of its own. It's called "Christmas Hymn" on the packaging, but is really an old German carol called "How Great Our Joy", one of the most neglected Christmas songs out there. It's powerful, meaningful, and showcases the vocal talent of both singers. It's also one of the most dramatic, heart-pumping Christmas carols in the classical genre out there. This is one you won't get out of your head for a long time and could be considered the centerpiece of this album.

Hofmann sings "The Christmas Song" next, in a rather subdued yet heartfelt arrangement. The traditional "Carol of the Bells" follows, and features an instrumental interlude and some great bell tones from Sasson. Speaking of which, Sasson gets her chance to shine on the next song, "Ave Maria". This is one of the best operatic recordings of the song out there, guaranteed. It's not an easy song to sing by any means, and Sasson absolutely nails it. The album closes with "Here We Come a Wassailing", sung with the choir and ending the album with an energetic arrangement of another lesser-known song.

Overall, this could be one of the most underrated Christmas albums out there. You'll have to get it either on cassette or LP, as Hallmark wasn't making CDs of their Christmas albums yet in 1987. It's worth digging out that turntable or cassette deck for this collection of carols. The sound quality of the cassette is pretty good as far as late 80s tapes go (I don't have the LP so I can't vouch for it, but we all know vinyl always sounds good). Highly recommended, especially if you can get a new copy (since you will definitely wear it out).

title: Side One - Tropic Joy (S. Allen - C

text:
I received this album from Tom McMickle while I was living in Colorado Springs and had Chris autograph it at one of his shows (can't remember which one) in Colorado.  Side One - Tropic Joy (S. Allen - C. Duarte), Jody (J. Hodges), Opus 12 (C. Duarte), Prodigal Son (J. Hodges), Can Opener C. Duarte).  Side Two - Raedawn (C. Duarte), Hard Luck Boy (S. Chester - C. Duarte), Sweet Sweet Lady (S. Allen).
Chris Duarte - guitars, Sandy Allen - keyboards, vocals, Jeff Hodges - percussion, Paul Babb - bass, with special guests: Junior Medlow Williams - vocals, Uncle John Drendall - vocals.  Recorded and mixed at Sound Recorders Studio. Released on  on SRS Records 1987.
If you are looking at this as another CDG release, don't!!!  This is a historic look at Chris Duarte and the Bad Boys that is more of a jazzier album.  Chris will tell you how he hears all his mistakes while listening to this and how he hates the cover photo of him wearing a keyboard tie, but I think this album lets the listener glimpse into the young guitarists influences that join jazz, blues and rock into a melting pot that morphed into the Chris Duarte Group in later years.


title: Best Allman Brothers you can have

text: The Allman Brothers Band released an 8 song limited edition (15,000 copies- ABB77480) CD of this performance as a fund raising effort for the International Rett Syndrome Association.  The songs included are: Come On In My Kitchen, Seven Turns, Midnight Rider, South Bound, In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, Goin' Down The Road, Melissa, and Midnight Blues.  If you ever see one of these surface grab it fast, this is the best Allman Brothers you can have, acoustic and live on 6/11/92 Los Angeles.


title: Good, basic breathing exercises

text: If you like Oxycise, or breathing exercises in general, this is a great audio for when you're on the go. I got the CD for the price, but will rip it to MP3 so I can put it on my phone and have it anytime I need it, anywhere I am. It's meant to be done in the car, hence the name "Commuter Routine", but I don't particularly like to do it in the car. I'm a bit too self-conscious. But it's great when I don't want to do a full workout, and I like to use it while doing floor stretches.


title: Mellow peace

text: I purchased this CD originally at University of Notre Dame, and I played it so much that I needed to replace it!  Thankfully, Amazon had it!  I love the CD's interesting instrumental arrangements of beloved hymns and folk tunes.

title: SO GOOD!!!

text: I had this cd back when I was in middle school and had just started taking German class.  I loved it! A few years later I lost it and I couldn't find a replacement anywhere!!! 10 years later...and I have one back in my possession! I'm so glad I have this cd again! If you like the song samples you'll like the cd then!

title: Everything As Advertised!

text:
Everything was as advertised- can't ask for more!  Also, I wanted to support the poster of the music on YouTube, because he makes the music available for free.  Great for trying out the CDs before you buy!

Shipping took a while, but it's the other side of the world, so just be aware of that.  It's certainly not the producers fault.  (Customs.)

title: Any song Tammy sings is good.  No junk.

text: Tammy has a great and unique voice.  I have always loved her wonderful natural singing talent.


title: The cd has great inspirational music

text: The cd  has great inspirational music...love the maratha singers of this volume 2 as well as volume 1 and 3.  They are from the<br />1980's.  This cd i ordered was defective only on the first song but the rest of the cd made the purchase acceptable.  I rate the music a 5 not the condition of the cd and defective first song.


title: Sturdy German Metal

text: Faithful Breath had been around since the early 1970s, but they did not become metalized until the early 1980s. With this album they hit their peak in my opinion. It helped that Michael Wagener and UDO (Accept) produced the album. In fact, you can hear UDO singing background vocals on Princess in Disguise. Half of this album is solid German metal with strong riffs and piercing guitar. Certainly a worthy addition to the collection of someone who knows classic metal.


title: Classic Metal!

text: I had this on cassette back in the mid 80s. I was finally able to find it on CD a few years ago. This album features the fine vocals of Rhett Forrester, one year after he appeared on Riot's awesome Born In America! Jack Starr of course sharpened his axe in Virgin Steele before his solo career. His guitar playing is good with plenty of cool riffs and some nice lead work. Check out the solo pieces Scorcher and Amazing Grace. My favorite songs are the rockers Concrete Warrior and False Messiah. The ballads Can't Let You Away and Odile are pretty good too. If you are looking for some honest early 80s classic metal then check it out.


title: Fine traditional 80s metal

text: Spitfire were from Greece and despite this album being released in 1987 it does not suffer from most of the cliche cheesy excess of hair metal from that time. What you get here is a fairly solid album of honest metal rockers and a few good ballads. The album kicks of with rocker Street Fighter after a lengthy intro. Next is an uptempo rocker called Lead Me On. Whispers is the first ballad which has some good vocals and a nice chorus. After that is another decent ballad-turns-rocker called Lady of the Night. My favorite song is the ballad Walk Alone. I love the moving lyrics and the powerful chorus! The album closes with a metal number called Guilty Dreams. This album is full of decent guitar riffs and lead playing. The vocals are good for a guy singing in a language that is not his native tongue.


title: Early 80s Metal Gem

text: This album by Germany's Six Point Six slipped under my metal radar until last year. There is nothing mind blowing or very original about this album but it is full of sturdy metal that the Germans were so good at making in the late 70s and 80s. There is nothing that gets on my nerves here like hyper-speed tempos, excessive double bass drums, helium vocals, or crappy production. What you get is catchy riffs, decent vocals, and some very tasty guitar playing. I'm not talking about shredding, just cool pentatonic licks and good melodies. If you crave metal before hair metal took over then check this album out.

title: Five Stars

text: Great shows


title: Three Stars

text: Only four shows


title: Skeletons From The Closet

text: I've got to be brutally honest with you here, folks...I'm kind of shocked by the number of 5 star reviews for this one. Having followed the Dead's career from beginning to end, appreciating live performances from "The Brent Years" has always required me to develop some form of amnesia for what came before them. What you really don't want to do is listen to "The Other One" from "Dick's Picks Volume 4" (2/13 & 14 / 70, Fillmore East) and then listen to the version here, unless you're of the belief that it was ALL good, just "different." I wasn't really a Brent fan...didn't care for his songwriting contributions or vocals, and thought his keyboard style often relied too heavily on brittle synths rather than the roaring organ of Pigpen, or even the more organic "wires and wood" approach of Keith Godchaux. That said, many people found Keith to be "simplistic," and if you believe some of the behind the scenes gossip about the band, Phil (for one) became increasingly annoyed by his tendency to fall in line behind Jerry and just accent what he was playing. I'm the first to admit that Brent was easily more "adventurous"...and maybe on the tracks that never featured Pigpen or Keith, that was OK...I just found his style to be cold, machine-driven, lacking in any real fire or electricity. Also, like it or not, this was not a peak period for Jerry, either. His health was going uop and down and his vocals on what should be standout tracks like "Wharf Rat" can be a tough listen. Some have said Weir is phoning it in here...I don;t think this set is a peak for the band OR any of its individual members. Would I rather hear this than Bob, Mickey and Bill jamming with John Mayer? Yes, I would. But there's a LOT of other Dead product you can purchase BEFORE laying out the money for this set. If you're in Brent's cheering section, and if "late period" Jerry isn't an issue, go for it. Maybe not at "collectors" prices, though.


title: All technique, no fire

text:
I picked three stars for this review because when you roll over the three stars the prompt you get from Amazon is "It's OK" and that is exactly hiow I remember the vinyl copy of this I bought when it was brand new...OK. Not bad. Not great. OK.

There was some chatter in interviews about Eric Clapton, who obviously was the inspiration for "Blues Breaker." They dedicated it to him. Problem is that Clapton HEARD this album, and his response...I kid you not...was "These guys can't play." The track is kind of like some of Roy Buchanan's stuff...NO ONE questioned his status as a master, but SOMETIMES, his tracks would go on for what seemed like forever without actually arriving anywhere. Same thing here. "Bluesbreaker" sounds like the clips you see on YouTube of guys demoing new guitars. It lacks any kind of inspirational qualities. And if you don't need that, you might give this one four or even five stars.

At the time of its release, most music fans went nuts just to have Eddie jamming on these tracks. In terms of flash, yeah...it's Eddie and Brian. In terms of ANYTHING memorable making it to 2015, let's just say that it's an artifact from 1983.


title: Great song, great songwriters

text: I have been looking for this song for many years having heard it on a TV hits show @ 20 years ago.  It is impossible to find even an upload of this on youtube by the original songwriters.  I'm afraid that I find the Stevie Nicks version irritating and nasally.  This year I've been able to find this song and my other "hard to find" song Avenue D by Etta James and am pleased have both.  Thank heavens for USB turntables so I can make this a permanent part of "my music" on the computer.


title: Ambient groove

text:
While I have a few of these songs on other CD's, the songs here have been re-produced with the emphasis on the percussion and in my opionion sound better.

It is a most pleasing CD from start to finish.

Tracks are:

Voyage - Mana Rapa Nui
Return to Innocence - Enigma
Mind over matter - Shangri-La
Earthsong - Karunesh
Spirit Horses - Brule
African Dream - Varymbaalha
Ancient Person of my Heart - Divine Works
Call of the Tribes '98 - Karunesh
Dance of Innocence - Anugama
Buffalo Moon - Brule
Purification - 93-D
Kyrie - Antaeus
Shakuhaji Tales - Kamal

A very pleasing mix of world/ambient songs guaranteed to relax.


title: Stargate Symphony.

text: This was like a modern day symphony.  It had a surreal quality about it, very enjoyable.  Anybody who likes Stargate music will find this hard to pass up.


title: wish I hadn'r bought it

text: Read all the other reviews. They're all true. I have the album, but in mono. Was hoping to find one in stereo.<br />I found a Janie Grant/Diane Ray CD. Couldn't be happier. Great quality. 20 songs by Janie Grant and the complete Diane Ray album. Hope you can find one. Good luck!


title: Great arrangments

text: Nice collection to the series. I like the way they are short versions. And so many


So glad to finally get these albums on CD. Nothing fancy, just the two albums in stereo. Hope there's more to come. Import from Vocalion Records.


title: So glad to finally get these albums on CD


title: Carter Family...really???

text: I bought his CD because it has A.P., Sara and Maybelle on the cover and I figured it was their recordings from the thirties. Wrong. I don't know the various relatives of the Carters, but this was recorded in stereo, thus had to be at least late fifties, sounds like the seventies (electric guitars and a Bobby Goldsboro tune). There are no liner notes, just song titles and no song writers. It was made in the Czech Republic, so maybe they have no idea who these people are (is this the family that lived in the White House in the seventies?). The music's not bad, but I'd sure like to know which generation of the Carters is singing (third removed nephews and nieces?). Finally, the best compilation I have is "Keep On The Sunny Side: An Introduction To The Carter Family" which has a great booklet and cover.<br />Hope this is helpful.

text: Saw them at the Opry in May 23, 2017, it was a great tribute to Our Military that nite and Dailey & Vincent (also their Band) were awesome, knew I had to get a concert cd by them and this a great one.

text: Masterful is Peter Furler in his new cd  Sun and Shield. He is one of the most creative positive spiritual people in music.<br />Thank God for Peter Furler's abilities musicaly and hope there is more to come.


title: An okay album by a great guitar player

text: There is no doubt that Steve Lukather is a great guitar player. I have been listening to him since his days in Toto and have always been impressed by his playing ability. But there are many great guitar players out there. What differentiates the really good ones that you want to listen to all the time is not so much their playing ability but their ability to write or record songs that are memorable. Good pop music always contains some kind of hook, whether it be something catchy or memorable in the melody or in an instrument riff. There's something unique and memorable in every good or great song. Unfortunately, in this album and to my ear, there are none of those kinds of things; at least not pronounced enough to be so good that you want to listen to the album or even one song on the album over and over again. What makes for a great album is great song writing, the instrumentation is simply a way to convey the song in a compelling way. This album contains good playing but not very good songs.


title: I'd given it away a few years ago, thinking ...

text: I'd given it away a few years ago, thinking I was tired of it.  Not so, and I  ordered another.  So I have it again.


title: A great CD

text: Great sound quality.  I buy almost every live Tom Petty CD that I can find. This one was better than most.


title: As good as you'd expect from this excellent group!

text: As far as I know, Acoustic Alchemy has never done a bad album (CD).


title: Excellent collection of rare hits.

text: Just because a song may have been only "Bubbling Under" nationally doesn't mean that some of these weren't bigger regional hits.<br />Almost all the artists are well-known, and many of these cuts SHOULD have been bigger hits.  Very listenable album!


title: Fairly typical Secret Garden

text: No disappointment here.  If you like the New Age Celtic sound of Secret Garden, you will like this album.


title: Beautiful voice

text: What she does on this album she does very, very, very well.  She needs more ideas.  She has dived deep into an interesting lilt.  It is not enough to carry the album.

text: Nice sound and pleasing if  you like Harmonicats. Takes me back in time.


title: Steve Lippia is a wonder.

text: Have all of Steve's music...even some I did. He is magnificent and a truly great guy. Thank God for Mr. Lippia, now with Frank gone...sorry, I needed a new fix...something new to believe in that proved the music has never died. Lippia is comfortable with all the greats(Darin, Bennett, Torme)<br />If given a chance to see this young man, DON"T you miss it!

text: My husband loves Brentwood Jazz and is very pleased with the cd.


title: It's wonderful, really

text: When I purchased this. I was a little reluctant to spend that much money on music you can hunt up in the public domain. When this arrived, the whole 75 songs really hit home- these are SEVENTY-FIVE songs. That's a lot of music, remastered, labeled correctly. crisp and clean. It's wonderful, really. All the songs I recall adults in my youth somehow knowing all the words to! Songs that you hear snatches of from time to time, like "Pack all your troubles" and "Tipperary" and"Mr Zip-Zip-Zip". They're all here and now I know the words too. This is just a great collection that captures a time in our history.


title: A classic from a master

text: Fingerpicking master Pat Donohue has delivered an eminently listenable collection of songs that leave any guitar player (or wannabe) in awe.  A nice mix of original music and classics all arranged by Pat and played with the amazingly fluid style and perfection of technique that is his trademark.  From the energy of "Novocaine" to the peaceful "Into the Garden" to the bluesy "Joe Fingers" - his original music spans a nice dynamic range that gives the set pacing and direction.  Love the "Star Spangled Banner" arrangement at the end.  Found the arrangement of "Hard Times" a bit understated, but that's only because I love that song so much.  Heard a song from this album online at Folk Alley ([...]) and instantly ordered the CD.  You won't be disappointed if you do the same!


title: Puppy like this

text: I put this music on when I have to leave my puppy for awhile. She seems to respond to it. Have one of the other CDs also which I play while driving. Calms me too!


title: worship!

text: Oh my what wonderful songs of praise and adoration. I listen to it weekly. It will bring you close to heaven. You can sing along with the music and worship the Father in an intimate way. Plaese make more!


title: Fantastic!!

text: My kids are HUGE fans of the stories in the Heirloom collections. They love audio stories anyway (Odyssey, Brinkman Adventures etc) so when I saw these I knew I had to get them. We bought all 4 stories and I have not regretted my purchase. The kids listen to them over and over, at home and on the road. I can't wait for more to come out so we can get them. They are very well done and have some big names who have helped. I'm thrilled these are available for my kids. I even love the stories!!!

title: Radiant

text: I loved this book! The story begins when the two main characters, Vaclav and Lena, of course, are children. Vaclav is enthusiastic, Lena is troubled, but they are devoted to each other. The story moves forward and I do not think it is fair to you, the future reader, to have me tell the details of their story. I will tell you that if you enjoy well-written books with original story lines, books that make you think and feel and laugh and cry, you will want to read Vaclav and Lena. I listened to the audio book which is narrated by Kirby Heyborne and Rebecca Lowman who are both excellent. This is one of the best-narrated books I have heard and they greatly add to the pleasure of the story. It's amazing that this is Haley Tanner's first book. I hope she will gift us with many more.


title: Not great

text: I was expecting more from Lady Gaga. She has a gorgeous voice so I don't know why she screams so many of the songs. Voice sounds vey strained and harsh. I'm donating this to Goodwill. Tony still sounds wonderful.

title: Beautiful music!

text:
I purchased this CD years ago at a Christian Concert held at a local Catholic Church, where Marty Rotella shared his personal story with us and how this CD came about!

It was so beautiful that I bought several copies for friends.

I played this CD in my car every day.  I am not Spanish but loved the Spanish version.  The CD was English on one side and Spanish on the other.

I will make a long story very short.  Every time this music started playing, a friend's name came into my heart and mind very strongly - every time!!! I got the feeling I was supposed to give her this CD.  I walked into the local coffee shop and my friend is the first one I saw.  I went back out to the car to get the CD and when I went back into the coffee shop I told her the story and handed the CD to her.  She started crying, sobbing!  I felt so bad as I did not understand why she was crying.

She said that she had just come back from her doctor's office where she learned that she had breast cancer and also said that her father's name was Quadalupe!!! She felt that her father was letting her know that he was watching over.  She did have to go for treatment but she is fine today.  This was many years ago but she has a very special relationship with Our Lady of Quadalupe  and she is Spanish so loves the Spanish side of the CD!


title: Kim Walker-Smith is Humbly Anointed

text: This CD is the most amazing CD I have ever purchased.  When I turn it on in my car or my home, it immediately fills the atmosphere with the Holy Spirit as I enter into the presence of God every day.  He inhabits the worship of this album.  I am continually in the presence of Almighty God when I listen to this CD.  My mind retains the music and it goes with me throughout my day.  If you want to continually be in the presence of God in worship and be receptive to his voice, purchase this CD.


title: Awesome!!!

text: I got this CD in Lebanon years ago. I listened to it so many times that is was scratched.... It was WONDERFUL to be able to purchase it here in the US..<br />I LOVE this CD!!!! Dealing with the seller was an EASY transaction!

title: Gods'Illa Review

text:
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

"Can't get enough of this good...." music!

Today's music rarely presents a legitimate combination of talent, virtue, optimism, and intelligence, but the originality and masterful skills laid down by this trio of brilliant brothers tells a much different tale. Through hard work, perseverance, and pure hustle, Maryland natives, Gods'Illa, consisting of Truth Hall, Acem Hall, and Powerful Aguliar, deliver an album packed with wise words, incredible truths, and a unique vision. It's not that we haven't heard politically, socially, culturally, or emotionally passionate tales before, but the powerful lyrics, nostalgic suggestions, and infectious beats spread across multiple tracks, is impressive to say the least.

The hunger of these artists is prominent and apparent. Listeners hear it in every word, of every line, on every track. Their words chronicle struggle, celebration, reality, and hopefulness, all of which make them believable. The typical hood clichés are left at the door and listeners are authentically entertained by a striking flow of depth and lyricism from start to finish. Where other artists lend exaggerations or seek empathy from their listeners, these men seek betterment, hoping to motivate and inspire rather than simply impress and overly amplify.

There ain't no fluff here---just artists with a true gift, a genuine passion, a love for music, and a positive message. Gods'Illa doesn't attempt to force you into adopting a new reality; they just want to make you aware of their reality and further inspire you to reassess your own. Unlike many other hip-hop albums, there are no guns blasting, no trap house glory stories, or sexual promotions, simply MEN teaching other men (and women) how to be exceptional.

Up and Up Presents Gods'Illa: the Album isn't preachy or redundant, just truthful, straightforward and enjoyable. And there is a tangible liking for every listener, no matter their musical taste. "Stuck" appeals to couples in limbo while "Protect It," the most commercial of the album's 17 tracks, appeals to more hardcore hip-hop listeners. "Times Is Hard" pulls on the interests of music realists; those that seek out the true emotion behind the artist. And "Winner," allows listeners to recognize the influence of a beautifully worthy woman coupled with the ego of even the most humbled cat.

Gods'Illa didn't go about conducting the business of music without the support of some local, veteran musicians and Maryland/D.C. "big wigs" for their debut album. Those artists include: international hip-hop artist Substantial, Joe D., the Five Ones, Diggz, Tre of UCB, and Black Boo of Mambo Sauce. Though some of these names may not be world-renowned, they pack one hell of a punch on this album, introducing Maryland's most established newcomers.

Failing to cop this album would be a melodic disservice. For music lovers who seek to support up and coming artists, this is the album for you. Not only are these young brothas humble, they're tangible, approachable, and down-to-Earth.

All of DMV (D.C./Maryland/Virginia) can't be wrong about this one. This group is definitely D.C.'s best kept secret; "the Great Unknown." So grab that album and hear some truth for a change.

The only thing that can beat this is practice with a real person.  I found myself reading text after the first sitting (about 45 minutes), and beng able to "translate" into code!

I have been listening to this in the car on my way home to really let the code "sink in".  I got these CDs knowing that I would be slow to learn, but I have really caught on.  I plan on taking the Element 1 & 3 in a few months.

title: ...duh-duh-dup dup dup duh-da....what a riff!

text:
Elephant is a great title for this recording, considering what a behemoth it was and still is today. Possibly the best blues rock since Zeppelin went away in 1980, Jack and Meg White make the easy seem difficult, and vice versa. Jack white, presumably unknowingly created the  best guitar rock riff since Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton did with Sunshine of Your Love back in '68. Maybe even better, who knows? This record contains at least four songs that will go on a "Greatest Hits" collection. What a group! I was not into this band until I heard Seven Nation Army one night while sniffing heron in a gas station parking lot. I will always remember hearing that riff while I was getting zonked. Enough about the album itself, we all know what happened. Onto THIS particular packaging of Elephant in 200 gram, LP format. It makes for a great record...
The sound on the LP version has a good EQ, however it is a bit heavy in the low frequencies. Obviously I am reviewing the double LP version, as stated above. To remedy this, I adjusted the EQ to take out some of the bass, which makes for a great improvement. This 10th anniversary edition doesn't have any weak spots, and is well-pressed by United Record Pressing in my home state of Tennessee, which makes me proud. I know that this new, thick, heavy wax is all the rage and hip, but I would prefer the regular old school stuff. It is a pain to have a four sided record with only 14 songs. I'd like to see an effort to get back to the old single disc records I grew up with. Of course, LPs went bye-bye around 1992 or '93, so Im kind of amused that wax is all the rage now. It is even called "VINYL" by hipsters and the like. The last record I bought was in 8th grade. I bought Guns n Roses "Use Your Illusion II'....anyway I digress.
The sound is good, the gatefold cover and sleeves are very nice and the album is a classic. I would pay no more than $40USD, and you could probably get the folks at Third Man to put in an order for you if it's unavailable or way too spendy. I paid 34.99 right here on Amazon. Enjoy............du-duh-dup dup duh duh-da....what a riff!

text:
This compilation of all of the Beatles fan club year-end Christmas records is a treasure. Wit, comedy and joyful expression is on display here from our beloved Beatles. Beginning in 1963, any fan that had signed up for the Beatles Official Fan Club was given the opportunity to purchase a limited exclusive flexi-disc containing skits, Christmas wishes and overall tomfoolery from the Beatles.
  The group would usually begin with an attempt at a sincere message of thanks and well wishes, which would quickly involve into a series of funny quips, jokes and candid remarks about the group's year in review, and a song, such as the now familiar "Christmastime Is Here Again" (credited to all four Beatles), These flexidiscs are extremely rare and expensive, so this collection, which runs 90 minutes, incorporates each of the group's annual Christmas fan club discs. Now onto the disc...
  This Japanese import is of very good sound quality, with perfectly adjusted equalization levels, good separation and tracks that can be identified and labeled by iTunes. There are 28 tracks in total, arranged chronologically. Sound quality is very high. The CD plays in my laptop, home stereo and car stereo without any problems.
  I highly recommend this for any Beatle fan, especially during the Christmas season. However, this collection is so wide-ranging, and has secular, Beatle composed Christmas songs. John Lennon is in rare form on this disc. It also contains his famous quote about the Beatles' disdain for Yoko Ono, who also appears on the disc, when he utters the phrase about "...all of our BEAST friends." So that alone is an important line in the Beatles lore. Each Beatle, especially Ringo, and surprisingly George, displays a very finely tuned sense of humor. The responses to fans are particularly entertaining, and I was much delighted that the group had a particular interest in my favorite Christmas carol, Good King Wenceslas...A but a strong buy on this cool collection of Beatle history...ZP


title: I, official Beatle die harder, recommend with pleasure, the purchase of said record-in other words-this one is a good one!

text: Cool 'listen-in' on the music and studio chatter during the Let It Be film sessions (aka the Get Back Sessions) which contains recording of many of the jams seen in the film like the fun 'Suzy Parker!' It would seem that they were having a good time jamming on oldies, at least. the sound and EQ of this particular record is B grade quality and well worth owning for any of us die-harders.....Recommend...ZP


I LOVE "The Last Waltz" as an artistic endeavor, The movie, the records and subsequent DVDs are just great. Watching Eric Clapton and Robbie Robertson trade G Minor pentatonic licks in "Further On Up the Road" is truly pleasurable. It brings me joy to watch that particular performance, as EC's strap came undone and RR picked up right on the next snare beat! Dr John playing "Such a Night" is fun, and the mutual admiration society that underscores the event is insightful and sincere affection between all of these vets of the rock worlds' previous ten years. I love the project. I am 34 and became a fan of the Band when I heard 'The Weight" in a beer commercial in 1992, at the age of 13. I dug thru my pop's records to find the song on 0-$his only Band album "Rock Of Ages."

What I disdain, what burns me mentally and financially is when a project like this or Cream and their 2005 Reunion at Royal Albert Hall are released as "special, limited editions" available, supposedly for just a few moments in time, at a high price. But wait! I'll not worry about the high Pri$e because these are limited editions available only to Record Store Day buyers or club members or if you happen to walk by some music shop . Ohhh noooo, as Mr Bill would say to Sluggo, it turns out that this project will be available infinitely. Yours MIGHT have some foil number, but that don't give me no-SATISFACTION! No Satis-FACTION! The last waltz was supposed to be, and was put out to the public as a limited release for $50-$65. Now here it is for 30 bux.

Wait mr Record Store Day man-i paid twice this back in April because this was supposed to be a limited, numbered release! What happened? Oh, you were just bull sheeting and this is all about the dough like we figured.


title: For Collector's Eyes Only--But a Fun Thingumybob to Have

text: This set is for true fans and collectors, to be sure, as it is not a necessary or must-have,  this set contains four 7 inch 45 rpm singles. Each A side is sung by a different Beatle. Ticket 2 Ride, Yellow Submarine, Revolution and Something are the A sides. The packaging is not designed for frequent use, as it is somewhat cumbersome. The four 7 inchers have nice sleeves and are very similar to what was used in the 60s.. the discs themselves are the new high quality vinyl, and the disc labels on the first two records have the neat Orange and yellow capitol stickers ...the last two have the Apple labels.  A nice B&W poster of the lads comes with the set...its a 65 or early 66 group shot. The sound quality of the remasters is great...BOTTOM LINE=BUY THIS IF YOU OR RECIPIENT IS A HARDCORE FAN OR COLLECTOR...OTHERWISE SPEND THIS MONEY ON THE MONO BOX SET....ps the singles have the large holes in the middle so you are provided with a 'single hub,' however it is lame and you would be better of using the one that came with your record player..."For a fish and finger pies in summer ..."


title: great music....

text: receive in a timely manner....great condition....will order again


title: What a Dance!

text: This is an excellent song. I was surprised it came from Eurovision considering there is no good music from that contest. No surprise it won the contest. WILD DANCES is a great song with a mix of Ukranian mountain folk and pop. Her voice is of that similar to Alanis Morisette. Dont say no top this CD just beacause it was from Eurovision, this is different. Its sooo catchy and so good and she writes her own songs and makes her own dances (which are wild). This girl has talent! I higly reccommend this.


title: Spectacular saga with a promising storay

text:
The hype of the Attack of the Clones though is less than that of the Phantom Menace, in fact it turns out to be a better production than its counterpart.
The story is a continuation of the Phantom Menace, in whcih Anakin Skywalker is now a grown up looking for a reunited love with his "Angel" Padme Amidela. Frankly, the performance of Hayden Christensen is not as promising as we saw in his audition clip. He has his moments and styles in certain scenes, but when it comes to talking about love with his "Angel", there is a lack of communicaiton between him and Natalie Portman. Natalie Portman is now easier to be appraoched for she is no longer a queen but a politician fighting for the diplomatic resolution with the separatist of the Republic. Nonetheless, her perfromance is in fact just average, despite there are lots of chances for her to perform. The best bit is her first denial of her feelings towards Anakin, and then she is more like a supporting role for Anakin. For Ewan McGregor, he has turned into a more sideline role with a big name as Obi-wen Kenobi again. He is more mature but somehow down played by his apprentice. He is strict to principles and actions with the Jedi Council but that in fact lead to a jealousy conspiracy of his apprentice. The care and tension between him and Anakin was well played. After all Ewan McGregor is an actor who can do more than just that, so there should be no difficulty for him.
A very common practice of EP II is that we have great expectations about different characters being advertised but at the end they are nothing more than very sideline plots. Probably because there are too many characters to talk about and time is running out, so ended up stories were not fully plotted and told when the movie ended.
The coolest part of the whole movie is the lightsaber fight of Yoda, in which it becomes the climax of the whole movie. It is sad that the glory of the movies was stolen by a digital creation, but he is Yoda, who can compete against him? The worst part is the young Boba Fett in which, the kid playing him is not cool and neither good at all. Could have found a better choice to play that part.
Overall speaking, Attack of the Clones is a much better production out of no expectation after the disappointing hype of the Phantom Menace. Nonetheless, better poster design should be applied next time as it is too unmatch with the whole movie. The same design works for Phantom Menace doesn't mean that it will work for other movies, for every movie has its own character.

title: Nice Beginner Chinese Program for Young Children

text: This 36-book program was the core part of the curriculum for two Mandarin Chinese programs that our child participated in, one at the preschool level and the other at the kindergarten level.  It's a good introductory program for kids that live in a non-native speaking environment, and is commonly used in many schools.  The CD reads through each story booklet a couple of times, so the child could read along, which provides nice entertainment in the car.  We chose to begin with Traditional Chinese Characters version, and plan to teach our child Simplified Characters in 3rd or 4th grade.  Some schools begin with Simplified Characters, and this program is also available in that format.  Overall, this is a good beginning Chinese language program for preschool through early elementary school children.

title: Good Things Come in Small Packages

text: I recently purchased Teach Yourself One-Day Italian before a trip to Venice, Italy.  I purchased the CD as a supplement to a 16 lessons set of Pimsleur Italian I had purchased and Michel Thomas' Deluxe Italian 8 CD set.  I was very impressed with Elisabeth Smith's format and presentation.  Far superior to any one CD language lesson I have come across and listened to.  The CD provides exactly what it offers - 50 important words and a few sentences to help you on vacation.  The format was very entertaining and instructive.  It was easy and fun to listen to the CD over and over again as reinforcement of the learning process.  I highly recommend this CD to anyone who wants to learn a few basic words and sentences before a trip.  I was so impressed that I purchased all of Elisabeth Smith's other Teach Yourself One-Day CDs (French, German, Spanish and Greek).  They all follow the same format.  I always appreciate knowing a few basic words of the language of the country I am visiting.  Typically, I use Pimsleur Level 1 CDs to get a basic grasp of a language and learn how to correctly pronounce the words.  However, Pimsleur is costly.  For those interested in just learning a few words at a great cost, you can't go wrong purchasing any of the Teach Yourself One-Day language CDs.  The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because she made me want to learn another 50 words right away.  I would immediately purchase any CD Ms. Smith would put out that offered to teach me 100 to 300 basic words and sentences using a similar learning format. Thank you for a great product.  I only hope others will purchase these little gems to keep them in circulation.


title: Great Quality

text: Looking to replace my original copy .


title: Better than the last one. That's not saying much.

text:
George Lucas will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the men who changed the face of entertainment. Star Wars was, in essence, the single factor which moved science fiction and fantasy from the back room, marginalized treatment they had been accustomed to and put them into the spotlight. There is no other single show or book I can recall in my lifetime which has had nearly so much influence.
 Unfortunately, that puts him on the spot when it comes to following up on his own material; it's expected that he at least tries to match his original's success.
 Monetarily, he's managed to pull it off. In terms of how good the movie is... no. The original Star Wars was a slam-bang fun action adventure film, a tribute to the old serials and a nod to other inspirations as diverse as Kurusowa's Hidden Fortress and Doc Smith's Lensman series. (the Campbellian babble that followed wasn't part of the original design -- Lucas just wisely took that thread and ran with it). The FUN derived not just from the action, but from the basic themes of good versus evil, and good triumphant over evil. The Empire Strikes Back had to  back off, of necessity, from the latter, but Return of the Jedi gave it back in spades.
 Then came The Phantom Menace. Lucas' first mistake was doing a prequel. True, there were books that dealt with the later years, but he'd always stated they weren't canon and wasn't restricted to them. And if he liked them, he could have just filmed Tim Zahn's trilogy. Instead, he gives us a prequel that focuses on Anakin Skywalker -- the Boy Who Would Be Vader -- and begins the fall of the Republic. Other egregious mistakes -- the words "midichlorian" and "Jar Jar" became curse-words for Star Wars fans -- made TPM a horrid experience.
 To its credit, Attack of the Clones avoids the worst mistakes of its immediate predecessor and offers us a few worthwhile moments (most viewers agree that watching Yoda jump around like a demented superball on crack is worth a large chunk of the admission fee). However, it can NEVER -- nor can its successor -- give audiences the real Good Triumphs Over Evil feeling, because WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S COMING. Anakin can't see that he's making a mistake, or at least won't acknowledge it. Obi-Wan can't save him. Palpatine won't get his butt whipped.

 Nor can it make up for this by providing us with better, more impressive substance. It's filled with logical holes, clumsy plot devices, and incredibly stupid characters who cause their own problems. The only REAL way to make sense of a lot of it is to assume the opposite of what we're being told -- that Yoda is one of the bad guys (or at least an exceedingly Machiavellian good guy), for instance, and that Anakin is using Jedi Mind Tricks on Amidala.
 So... it gets three stars. One for the Lucas that was, one for a few neat twists, and one for kickass action sequences. The two stars it could have gotten for actually being a good movie, or even a great movie, alas, are not to be. Nor, I fear, will they be available for the third movie. Lucas no longer has the people that helped him transform his ideas into brilliance (he did not really write the first three movies) and is reduced to pomposity, banality, and predictability.


title: Like a fine wine, she matures with age

text:
I will truely be forever indebted to Ms Lauper for her album Hat Full of Stars, which helped me get through the death of my father.  I never thoguht that I would find an album again which had the content and emotion that I  garnered personally; that is, until I got this album early 1997.
Sisters  of Avalon marks what is a truly exceptional osmosis and confrims to the  world that even after the success of her 12 Deadly Cyns compilation that  Cynid has a musical force and vision which packs a punch lyrically and  musically; the paradox is that this album showed that Cyndi was having real  fun.
All songs co-written by Cyndi and Jan Pulsford in some house on a  hill are spellbinding and diveres.  The pan-pipe funk of the album's  opening title track immediately reveals the trade-mark Lauper confidence,  (and with a catchy chorus to boot) in its prime, and is followed closely by  a disco recit of a transvestite's double life as a blue-collar worker who  becomes a glam queen at nite.  Only Cyndi can get away with such a stunt,  and she does it with panache.
The album is far from an uptempo affair,  although other notable catchy tracks are Brimstone and Fire where she  entertains a fantasy lesbian affair to the sounds of a reggae  accompaniment.
What is most prevalent about Cyndi's growth and maturity  is her vocal prowess and lyrical introspection; she has music to sell, but  not without deep, metaphorical and lyrical lyrics.
You Don't Know the  album's first release vehemently challenges people who revert to type, and  is more angrily expressed by the pseudo-rock/grunge opus that is Love to  Hate You, with Patti Smyth vocals to boot.
The real gems of the album  however are the ballads.  Fall Into Your Dreams, a soothing lullaby written  about her son Declan sways along with comfort and warmth, while Unhook the  Stars brims with pain and regret.  My personal favourite is entitled  'Mother', ethnic in sound and melodically haunting.  A true  masrerpiece.
It is hard to give a synopsisnof the ablum because of its  sheer scope and diversoty in sound, melody and lyrics.  Ms Lauper can ably  take any style to hand and write originally and sing each song whther  ballad, rock, funk or reggae as if she has been crafting that style  throughout her life.
Unfortunately it is an album that few recognised and  will aprreciate, but it is one secret that you are glad to have a personal  appreciation.  A lost classic of regrettable proportions


title: Mariachi Music at its best!

text: La Hija Del Mariachi is an amazing novela.  The writing is excellent, the acting, especially of the main characters is flawless, to the point that one believes they are not actors, but living life.  This CD has a great collection of songs that brings back the story line and the great moments of the novela.  If you have not seen the TV show, it doesn't matter, buy it anyway for some great Mexican music and great interpretations!!!


title: Visual and Audio Beauty

title: The Elliphant in the room

text: I bought this album solely because I was intrigued only having heard one other song by Elliphant and it was even on this album! (The song was Best People In The World).  I was not disappointed as this album still had plenty to offer.  I am not usually a listener of the dance genre and in fact I listen to heavy metal more often than not.  All I can say is this: This chick has talent.  I don't know everything about music but I think I have listened to enough to know something good when I hear it.  BUY IT -- You will not be disappointed.

title: Fantasmic!  Tokyo Disney Sea park.

text: Wow! A third Fantasmic show has been added to the Disney family of shows.  This show is very unique, in that it didn't exactly follow the same format as thee American shows.  I really enjoy this soundtrack.  Yet you'll still hear some very familiar scenes, that we know and love, from thee other shows.  It rocks!  Disney style!


title: Fantasmic x 2

text: Whether your a fan of thee original Disneyland version or the Walt Disney World version, you'll love this cd!  It's like being back at the parks watching the shows all over again.  Thee original debuted in May of 1992.  The Florida version debuted in October of 1998 at the Disney/MGM Studios park, in WDW.  Now there's a new addition to the Fantasmic line up.  Tokyo Disney Sea park, in the Tokyo Disneyland Resort, debuted their unique show in 2011.  Replacing BraviSEAmo!  Which was a pretty simple and impressive show too.  I hope this review helps!


title: Revisting the Beatles

text:
Return to the Beatles . I say this only because it means it is not an alblum but  out takes in the studio . It show you haw talented John Lennon and Paul McCartney were as wing songs and if you like to revisit  history of Rock and Roll when the Beatles were
at  thier top . You have to buy all three to see how they grew up as young lads from the night clubs in Germany to American soil . Its fun to listen to john as he fiddle with the notes to  a song. I am note a good writer but I know quality when I see it. I grew up with the Beatles, my self and my cousin got an album every year for the holidays. I  do not know what happen to them ,But I used to to know by memory each alblum including the famous White the album I suggest the second one each is a two CD with a story booklet
If you a Beatles fan trust  me you will like these Therese addition to your collections

title: Got as a Gift

text: Not a huge Taylor fan, but I tend to like her older music.


title: Pinocchio-P's Beginnings

text: This album is one of Pinocchio-P's first. The songs on here, for what I know of, are not as popular as his newer works. But it is interesting to see the progression and still very unique, same style that Pinocchio-P has. Probably one of the most well-known songs on this album is "Common World Domination," which helps set the tone for the rest of the album. I believe there are around eighteen tracks on here, and though a few lacked, I found a few favorites from Pinocchio-P just from this album, Obscure Questions. He definitely has improved a lot over the years, but if you are a vocaloid fan or Pinocchio-P fan, this CD was fairly cheap for me and is worth checking out. The lyrics aren't completely impossible to find online, and I'd recommend reading them with the songs themselves if you are interested, since Pinocchio-P's lyrics can really change the viewpoint of his songs.

text: Bought as a birthday gift for someone & they informed me they already have it downloaded on their phone.<br />Product came undamaged.


title: Your ears deserve better.

text:
I bought this album because 1.) I can never have enough zither or erhu music in my life, and 2.) there was no review of it prior to my purchase. The second reason isn't that wise, I admit. Nevertheless, the album is full of renditions of Butterfly Lovers that are very pleasant sounding and would do great as background music to relax with after a long day.

Or, rather, it would be good for that. While the music is nice (though nothing truly special), the audio quality is only slightly above the sound of electrical sparks through mud. The quality of this CD is less than subpar. It's truly a horrible sounding product with muddled high notes and pain inducing higher ringing seemingly from flutes or some kind of cruel human caliber dog whistle. The disc is a Direct Streaming Digital CD, so it won't play in all CD players, but it also means it has some higher sound quality potential. This CD fails to utilize such a feature.

It's truly a shame the CD has sound quality issues, because the music isn't half bad. As it is, you might as well microwave a random CD and try to listen to it afterwards. I'm not sure you'd notice a difference in quality.


title: love this product

text: person I bought this for love this , she was so happy .


title: 1959 was a steller year for rock and roll.

text:
The first rock and roll song I can remember hearing was 1954's Etta James "Dance with me Henry,on the radio in my uncles 1954 Pontiac 2 door hardtop coupe in St.Louis After arriving on the Missouri Pacific train from Little Rock.

That music was the first version of rock and roll.It was also known as race music. All I knew is that as a four year old kid it moved me

I was familiar with rhythm and blues as we listened to the station coming out of Memphis, when we were not listening to Eddie Arnold.

1959 was a very good year. The year "mule skinner blues" came out. "What I say" "The big Hurt" There goes my baby". So much good music, a nine year old music lover could be overwhelmed.

This CD is good to add to your collection. But there are other 1959 compilations on Amazon that are more comprehensive.

Buy this CD. I did. It's a fine representation of the  music, the era and the year. And real rock and roll.

title: Hugh does this really work? Yep

text: OK this is a crazy product. I found out about it from Jim Smith at "Get better sound" (highly recommend his book BTW). Don't understand how it actually works but it works. It improved my entire system. I have a Oppo BDP-105SE and an Emotiva ERC-3-TUC CD player. I ran the disk on both players checking for differences in sound. The first run improved the whole system and I played the 105 and it sounded better than usual. Then I ran the disc on the 105 and it sounded noticeably better. I loaned it to golfing buddy to try on his system and he was really surprised how much better his system sounded. I would describe the effect as waking your system up. Strange but amazing. Be a bit careful on volume settings as track 1 and 7 are quite intense.


title: Great songs!

title: Soul-Expanding

text: During the summer of 2001, I rented a palm-covered, hillside palapa in a still-primitive Huatulco, Mexico. I was escaping years of teaching high school, and my only son's drug addiction. I listened to Dreamcatcher over and over while watching/hearing the Pacific surf crashing down below. Magical!! I must recommend this CD for anyone needing to "sit" with their emotions. This music speaks to, and recenters my spirit, to those things I can control. Just gorgeous!


title: While the game could be a great learning game, it lacks extra numbers where they are needed!

text:
The product itself is ok, and definitely overpriced! The cards feel sturdy. The pictures on the cards are colorful and nicely done. The main problem is the cards that are pictured have double numbers!!  And the game does not supply extra numbers! It took my 4 year old grandson to point that out in about 5 minutes with the card 2 + 2 = 4.  I will be getting in touch with the company and see what can be done. As far as the letters, there is one word that I found "EYE" where there is only one E.
If this can be corrected, I would recommend this learning game, if not I would not buy this.
My fault, I should have read the reviews!!

text: Though I doubt that Dibango's genre is reggae, I first heard of him on the reggae channel.  This album has me convinced that this man from Cameroon is the best living saxophone player in the world.  The single, "Emma," was my gateway to the CD, but then I fell wildly in love with "Lady," not to be confused with Lionel Richie's hit (made popular by Kenny Rogers) by the same name.  Dibango's version just has so many layers and sections to it.  The sense of the lyrics pleases me, too.  The song praises the strength and ability of an African woman / of African women.  Here's a bit of trivia:  When you listen to the first song on the album, you will recognize its influence on an American pop star.  Who is it?  Please lose no time in buying this album!

title: A Sensitively Read and Moving Story

text: I enjoyed the fact that the person who performed the story tried to use accents such as would be heard in South Africa.  It is obviously a fantasy, but it is well grounded in reality and it is well written and absorbing.  My grandchildren listened to it, along with many other things they were exposed to, in preparation for a trip to SouthAfrica


title: Memories of summer camp

text: We’ve had this for over ten years and still come back to it very summer to relive camp.


title: One of the BEST albums of all time!

text: This album is absolutely magnificent!  How could such a wonderful treasure be now largely forgotten???  At the top of my Christmas chart is a little known song, "A Sacred Child is Born."  While hardly known to the world, this has to be one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed.  The lineup also includes a lively renditions of "Calypso Noel" & "Christmas Polka"  Also included are such beautiful classics as, "Oh Holy Night," "For Unto Us a Child is Born" and "The Angel's Song."  If you've not yet listened to this album and are a fan of Christmas music, get this, you won't regret it.


title: I love cats. And this musical too!

text:
No wonder this musical broke just about every record out there. I lost count of how many times I have seen it performed all over the world.

So, when a friend of mine put this on her wishlist, it was an easy choice.
And I know it made her happy.

Anybody wanna sing along?

Recommended!
