title: Pikki Lihassa rocks! (or metals)

text:
I just recently discovered HB. This symphonic metal group has been compared to greats such as Within Temptation and Nightwish, and although some say that they are more or less copycats, at least on this their latest work, I would strongly disagree.
Pikki Lihassa brings strong, powerful vocals and melodies with a solid metal and orchestral background. But they also manage to bring a very different sound from Within Temptation or Nightwish, with creative originality.
The best songs include the title track, also, Han Pitaa Kadestas Kiiri, and Mina Olen.
I really love this album, and I hope that HB puts together a tour in America soon!


title: Their best album yet!

text: Love, love, love it! Every song is soooo good. They may not have put an album out for 18 years but they have not lost a step. Tears For Fears is still one of my very favorite bands. I have listened to it nonstop for weeks. It has made me realize how much I have been craving more from TFF. They are amazing.


title: Hands down the best album of 2021, perhaps the entire decade.

text: The third studio CD release by Lifesigns, Altitude, doesn’t disappoint. This album is a must-have for any music collection ... beautiful melodies, exceptional musicianship, extraordinary composition, and excellent production.

title: What A Waste...

text:
This seems like Ty Tabor's most creative and refreshing solo album of all... and I'm stating that after having heard only the samples!

Sadly I can't stand listening to more than those couple 30 seconds... Why? Because of the quite unrealistic programmed fake drums. Every time there is a drum fill, it makes me cringe like hell. Unrealistic dynamics with no human feel and a clangy triggered snare sound makes it really hard for me! It's kind of OK during the grooves... but for instance, in Everything Changed, in the (or one of the) guitar solo(s), the drum fill going into the solo, and one of the fills in the 3rd and 4th measure... UGH! it hurts my drummer ears... it's like somebody spilled coffee in the keyboard, with the "drumkit" patch on... I don't know if you guys who gave 5 stars noticed that, or are agressed by that... It's always a small bit insulting for a drummer to hear super smooth and funky guitars with "programmed-always-the-same-velocity" snare and kick drums. I know this lowers the production time and costs for Ty, but there is nothing like real warm Jerry-Gaskill-banged drumshells. The music on this CD right here DESERVES real drums... it.... COMMANDS real drums.

To sum it up : I'm a huge fan of great guitar-playing, but to much of an acoustic drummer to endure programmed drums.... and it's a sad waste, 'cause otherwise I would have spinned that CD for a year, rockin' to my buddy Ty...

title: Useless item

text: This item was NOT what I expected. I don't know what went wrong but maybe the description of the product was misleading. I was first looking for the CD only but when I saw this one I thought it was a CD-DVD combo and I assumed that the DVD was a live recording from some concert. One has to listen to it via the TV showing some photo in each song (very interresting) and the additional video materila was really bad. I have zero use of this item but now I ended up ordering the CD (which I love) just a few days ago. It's just that it's going to be a he**uv' an expensive CD after all this, I tell you that!! Custom fees in Finland aren't cheap either...


title: WOW!!!!!

text: Love the Church?  Then listen to this! Kilbey,Koppes and Powles going "ape".  This album is nothing short of wonderful.  Immediate, strange and complicated...what more temptation do you need?  Stick the headphones on and be transported...where?...who cares so long as these guys are leading the way!!!!!  Excellent album from 3 experts.


title: Her music is alluring!!!

text: There's nothing more i can say - you'll love her songs..I like the unique charm of her sweet voice! She's one of the fast-rising singers in the Philippines today. Good luck Sitti!


title: PIUTTOSTO ANDATE AL CINEMA!!!!!

text: Ho comprato questo cd senza aver ascoltato neanche una canzone ma solo xchè mi ispirava il nome del gruppo e vi assicuro che se sceglievo di andare al cinema o a mangiare una pizza i soldi li avrei investiti meglio! Non riesco a decifrare neppure il genere musicale di questo gruppo che mescola suoni fastidiosi a cozzaglie musicali senza senso. Mi piace ricercare gruppi e album sempre nuovi perchè quello che trasmette la radio o la TV è troppo limitato, ma stavolta ho fatto proprio FLOP. Per fortuna che mi è costato l'equivalente di 8 euro e quindi faccio finta di averli regalati a qualcuno o di averli persi....Ma se il rischio è il vostro mestiere correte subito a comprarlo, non sia mai che schizza in vetta alle classifiche dei dischi più venduti davanti agli U2 o Michael Jackson! P.S.: la stella che gli ho messo è perchè ho cliccato il mouse sulla prima stella e non so come fare x cancellarla, pensate se per errore andavo sulla 5° e si beccava il massimo dei voti.....


title: ... his fans - he seems to just keep getting better and better

text: Long awaited release from Greg without a doubt for his fans - he seems to just keep getting better and better. Special guest appearance by Richie Kotzen was a treat as well. Best track : Tempest Pulse


title: Awesome and exiting album!

text: Incredible album. Takes one on quite a musical journey. "Bridges of Kukuriku 1 and 2" , "Counter clockwise" and the metal sounding "Shiver Moments" are great! A must have for instrumental or prog music fans.


title: Four Stars

text: Good cd


title: For Some But Not All

text:
I OWned All Of The Rike's CD's Through Empire And I Figured That They Would Be All That I Would Buy (Besides Mindcrime II for the story) And I Saw The Price That I Could Get This In Good Shpae For So I Bought It And Well It Wasnt What I Thought It Would Be (I Hadn't Herd Much About This Comparaed To Hear IN The now Frontier & Q2K which I hear Are horrible)So I Gave This A Listen And relaized That There Is Actual Metal Someplace On This CD (Alougth It Is VERY VERY VERY Hard To Find) I'd Do A Track By Track Thing But I Fell The By Classifing The Songs Into Groups Would Be Simpiler.

9:28 a.m - Damaged = Sorta Metal Any Metal Fan Would Probably Be Able To Sit Through these.

Out Of Mind - Silent Lucidity Version 2 (AND I HATE Silent Lucidity)

Bridge = ARRRGGGH NOOOOOOOO!!!!! This Song Is Almost Country

Promised Land = Alright Track (Better Than Bridge Which I Somehow Was Able To Keep The CD Going And Not Throw It Out The Window), Little Long Though Bu it Was LIke A Soft Version Of The Long Tracks On Empire.

Dissconnected - Pretty Much Like The Above Only Shorter

Lady Jane - Of All The Slower Traks On This One Id Say That This On Is The Best

My global Mind - My Favortie Track on This Thing, It's Baically About A Guy Sitting Down And Watching he 10 o' clock news or something

One More Time - Someone Else? = Slower Tracks

This Album Isnt Really For Metal Fans, But If You Wanna See Queensryche Evlove This Is Probab ly Where You Would Need To Start Looking, Ill Still Probably End Up Buying Hear IN The Nwo Frontier & q2k to see how bad they really are -_-


title: 4.5 stars for these guys! Not your average metalcore

text:
With the metalcore out there that should not be (example Trivium), why can't a band like Abhorrence be popular? This album was released by this European band on Dead Butcher Records in May of 2004, and judging by the sales, is not well known. This is hardcore, but there are traces of metal present everywhere. The lead singer's growl is above-average, and the lyrics are pretty angry, but that's what you get with European hardcore. The guitar work is great, with great riffs. It is extremely loud and in-your-face. The bass is barely audible, but it is present in some places. The drums are pedestrian, but when you put all these together, you get some great songs. All the songs on this album all flow very nicely together, and even though some are filler and repetitive, there are still some standout tracks on this album.

The thing that brings this album down is the clean singing. Ugh! It is absolutely terrible. The lead singer should just do his growl, which is very good. Also, with half-way descent production, it brings it down. But, "Burial Of Evil" is above average "core", with more metal I hear than hardcore. This is not the Trivium garbage that you hear on the radio (except for the clean vocals), which is over hyped, but it is European metalcore that is pretty different from it here. I hope these guys become as popular as the Trivium's and the As I Lay Dying's, because they are better than all of the popular, mainstream metalcore. Just don't expect to be seeing Abhorrence's "Burial Of Evil" on MTV, Fuse or on the Billboard's Hot 100's anytime soon. If you do, then find out where I live and call me.

If you want to find out more about this band, just go on their MySpace. On there, you can find out information about them, and even hear and download a new song by them. They have an album coming out in the future, and the new song is all growls. Overall, this is a good debut by an extremely promising band. If they can get something going and get popular in America, then I will be cheering them all the way. I also wish I can go to Europe to see them live, but that is a dream. So, if you are a fan of metalcore or hardcore, and want to get something different than Hatebreed, Killswitch Engage and Trivium, then give this band a shot. Why not? They are very promising, and I am hoping that they can actually make it big. A lot of potential here. But, popularity now equals zero...


title: I am that I am

text: How does a secular humanist with metal tendencies approach the "new age"? With an open mind. Astarius refferences the divinity within HUMANITY without blind obediance to some totalitarian overlord. I came upon this album by "chance" and it will be an aid to my will for the entirety of this mortal coil. Peace.


title: Not Prog as suggested in another site. Gothic

text: Beware if you do not know. This is definitely not Prog. If you're into Goth, you might like this recording.


title: Really Great Music From CSNY'S True Backbone

text: As a gin-u-wine, bonerfide child 'o the sixties, don't know how this one escaped my ears. Probably the "Mellow Mafia" overload of music from back then. Anyway, here I be 51 years later, getting a nice dose of sonic nostalgia straight to the Limbic region of my brain; perfect to the era it came from, still relevant today. Manassas seemed to be a sprawling band of pros n' joes from Laurel Canyon and beyond, all happy to be employed and playing good music w/ a fair amount of freedom to "stretch out" as it were, when playing live. Mr. Stills' distinctive voice, always sounding like his snoot is packed w/ cocoa, warbles and whines his way through a long set of diverse musical styles and genres, all w/ that special touch of Mr. Stills. Highly recommended to anyone who still thinks tye dye is far out, man.


title: British Psychodelia/Acoustic music at its best

text: Recorded in '91 but still relevant today; beautiful melodies, wonderful playing by all 3 musicians. Throw your<br />judgement of what you think music is and simply listen. Many thanks to WAYSIDE MUSIC for the fastest turn-around time I've ever experienced.


title: THIS MUSIC IS SO GOOD, IT COULD WITHSTAND ANY PRIMITIVE RECORDING SESSION.

text: I just love the way the way harmonic structures (in the songs) go from extreme dissonance to diatonic beauty. This is not music to vacuum the house by, folks. Like all of Tim Smith's compositions, it requires attention and acceptance to really get inside, but that's the pay-off, isn't it? And yes, the recording gear was not professional quality by any standard, but that's what's also pretty amazing about this album. Sometimes music can be so good, it transcends sonic restrictions.


title: Great Band, Great Album

text: Alexander Martin, Searching For A Sheep, I Was The Rat, and Heavenly Justice are the highlights of this album


title: Great "music", pity about the voice

text: The sounds assembled on this disc are interesting, at times quirky, at times hypnotic.  But each short section is introduced with its title read out, an unwanted distraction, all the more so because the balance is out of whack -- the read title much louder than the music, which means you either miss out on the latter, or have the titles at domineering levels.


title: Edwards' "Voyageur" full of great tracks

text: I've always loved her music.  This is Edwards' deepest album with 7 songs which I absolutely adore.  Strong both musically and lyrically.


title: Good to go!

text: Ask questions before buy ing, their ans wers makes me feel professional. After testing, It working properly.


title: Who doesnt like ice cream?

text: Vulfpeck is like ice cream for your ears.

text: Great! I love it


title: Greatest funk in decades

text: The first full length release by funk band Vulfpeck.  The vocalists that are featured on this album are top notch.  You should liken the band to the great Funk Brothers from Motown records.  These guys can groove like you haven't heard before.  If you have a pulse, you'll love this music.  I am blown away.  Do not miss out on this album.


title: How it all began

text: The first 4 EPs from funk band Vulfpeck all in one package.  If you haven't heard any Vulfpeck yet, this is the place to start.  Prepare to groove.

text: had been thinking about this as i had the lp but not the cd


title: cost

text: it liked music Its


title: great

text: Everything arrived as stated and in a very fast manner. I am very happy, and look forward to future purchases.


title: Four Stars

text: Good album, but would rather have it on CD.


title: One Star

text: Tracisting posted here does NOT match the actual CD tracklist at all.


title: Great seller.

text: Bought it for my Reveluv roommate. He loved it! The packaging was in tact and it was a very pretty album. Definitely recommend buying here with prime.


title: Great JoBo!

text: Very good selection of songs for the best of cd. At the time of this release these were probably the strongest songs, although not maybe now. Highly recommended!


title: Excellent recording...

text: This was recommended by a friend who was a classical pianist used to write the liner noted for Phillips classical recordings and this is an excellent performance and recording... TOP NOTCH!


title: For the fans

text: I give this a 5 star because if you're a fan of the period then this is a chance to hear how the band sounded live. This recording was part of Bill Grahams vault now on Wolfgang's vault. There are some technical issues in the 1st set of the early show but these are raw soundboard live recordings. I think we're lucky to have!


title: On point, As Always

text: Typical Choir, outstanding, thoughtful and musically complex


title: A Piece of Crap CD with no original Hits

text: I'm very unhappy with this entire cd. These are not the original song,hits and the lead singer on these songs sound are in the background. The background singers are louder in these songs than the lead singer. I'm begging everyone not to waist your hard earned money on this piece of Crap CD. I waisted my hard money on this piece of crap.


title: good price

text: exactly as they said. looks and plays like new. Highly recommend


title: Great addition to any Alan Parsons Project fan's collection!

text: David Paton, a member of the bands Pilot and Alan Parsons Project, as well as Alan Parson's post-Project "solo" albums, does a great job recreating classic APP tracks.  Paton is faithful to the spirit and production<br />values of the original songs, yet still imprints them with his own stamp.  In some cases, I preferred the new versions, but with all tracks the remakes are solid and enjoyable.  Such a great sound and vibe to this collection--have no fear, if you're an Alan Parsons fan, this album should be in your collection.


title: I Can Tell You Where To Find Rapture by Paul Van Dyk & Armin Van Buuren On Cd

text: The Iio Rapture remix by "Paul Van Dyk & Armin Van Buuren" along with 16 other remixes of Rapture is on 2 CD set called "IIO Rapture Reconstruction Platium Edition" released in year 2008 which i see a few for sale on Amazon and others sites alike.I bought a copy and im very happy to have it with "Paul Van Dyk & Armin Van Buuren" versions of Rapture on it along with many others. Good Luck :)


title: Great!

text: These guys were in country after I was so I never saw them live. Honestly I really don't like Hip-Hop, rap or any of that stuff, but this CD is great! I listened to ever word and for a Iraqi Vet this thing really hits home. I would like to say thanks to these guys for telling people out there our story, when the media won't and the US citizen doesn't support us either.


title: Awsome Praise for Kids!

text: I grew up listening to Psalty and can still sing a lot of the songs from heart even without the music. Buying this to share with my kids wo worship with them!


title: Real Hip Hop

text: This is the best RAP(Revolutionary Action Poetry)cd released in a very long time.Indeed, My Queen, Garvey and Shift your paradigm are just a few of the jewels on this Cd. If you like Immortal technique, Mos def, or other so called conscious rappers check it out! Also the Mix tape has just been released and it is banging! Go to movementunes.com. or myspace.com/ruffmicfreedomwriter to purchase it you can get it for $5 its on sale!!


title: Original Artists, but not the original hits

text: The cover says "Original Artists," but the songs on the CDs are not the original recordings that were the favorites on country radio stations back in the day. Most of the songs sound like they came from later concerts by the same original artists. Some of the artists sound a lot older on this CD. If you want to hear what the original recordings sounded like, check them out on Youtube.com


title: Skip this one

text: The sound quality was abysmal. Unfortunately, I consider it unlistenable.


title: Five Stars

text: Very pleased with my purchase.


title: Beautiful and Inspiring album

text: Loved the music and the ideas/sentiments expressed.  My only frustration is that sometimes the words are very hard to understand so it's difficult to follow.


title: Stunningly  beautiful!

text: this is a beautiful recording of the metta chant.  I listen to it all the time and have memorized it so I can sing along.  Especially great at the end of a stressful day.


title: If you love the standards

text: If you love the standards, then you'll love this album. Great arrangements and beautiful vocals, but to me what makes this such a great listening experience is the superior quality of the recording. Every instrument (including the vocals) are crystal clear and perfectly mixed. You'll swear they are playing right in your room. This CD sounds amazing no matter what you are listening to it on!


title: absolutely the more enthousiastic interpretation of the 8th...

text:
Dear all amazon readers, I was a bit surprised by the only comment available for this record, that to me was completely injustified. Even if this disk is not available in the Amazon store, I thought I had to give a better clarification about the precedent posted comment about the tempos used by Carlos Paita.
On the Robert Haas edition version of the 8th symphony, Carlos Paita is not the fastest interpretation (or extrange tempo interpretation): recording goes from as long as 88mn for Asahina's interpretation, to 71 mn of John lonstaff and 72mn for Beinum's interpretation with the Concertgebouw orchestra in 1955. Haitink and Kubelik are mostly with same tempos as Paita (Haitink has recorded versions from 74mn to 84mn).
Long story short: comments should not relates to such non aestetical comments as "extrange tempo"... this is absolutely absurb!
Instead, for all Bruckner lovers, I would absolutely recomend this disk to me that is one of the most amazing modern interpretation of this symphony. Carlos Paita's work is completely amazing and the recording is just perfect, and Paita succeed to extract all most amazing subtilities of this partition in a "heart blowing" interpretation. By far, one of my "10 gem CD" I would bring in a isolate island in th pacific...
Make up your mind by hearing it...

Païta's tempi are truly extrange.

Just compare:
Symphony No. 8 in C Minor1887/90 Mixed Versions. Ed. Robert Haas [1939]:

Abendroth: 82:28
Goodall: 89:20
Haitink: 88:30
Horenstein: 81:28
Jochum: 82:39
Karajan: 85:30
Kempe: 82:10
Klemperer: 81:00
Konwitschny: 81:13
PAÏTA: 73:41
Schuricht: 79:45
Wand: 88:00

Read the following statement taken of his official website concerning the 8th Symphony: "La monumentale symphonie de Bruckner DÉGAGÉE DES PESANTEURS, ROMANTIQUES, RELIGIEUSES ET IDÉOLOGIQUES (...) Richard Freed écrit dans la revue américaine " Stereo Review " : " La lecture que fait Païta de la Huitième Symphonie de Bruckner est pleine de perspicacité et de conviction. Elle est aussi convaincante que celle d'Horenstein, mais plus vigoureuse et impétueuse. Le grand adagio et le scherzo sont animés par un immense élan et un sens extrême de la pulsation qui évite l'essoufflement et EXCLUT LA MONUMENTALITÉ NARCISSIQUE D'AUTRES INTERPRÉTATIONS (...) il s'agit là d'un des enregistrements LES PLUS RÉUSSIS DE TOUTES LES SYMPHONIES DE BRUCKNER".

As for his live concert of the 4th Symphony it is said that "Nous connaissions déjà sa version "studio" de la Huitième. Le maestro est égal à lui-même : la dynamique et le souffle incroyable poussés à l'extrème NOUS MONTRE UN BRUCKNER BEAUCOUP MOINS SAGE QUE LA TRADITION NOUS LE LAISSE ENTENDRE..."

Brucknerians: do not waste your money. This set does not belong to any serious Brucknerian collector.

title: Useful, worth the price and half again

text: I wish someone had reviewed this before I bought it.  I am planning to install and adjust a graphic equalizer for a 400 seat hall, on a shoestring.  This CD has pink noise, and 31 tracks, each correlating to a  bandwidth of a 31 band graphic equalizer.  If I am lucky, I will be able to  approximate a reasonable EQ using the 31 bands and a standard sound level  (decibel) meter.  (please do not bother to tell me all the limitations,  remember I said shoestring!)  If not, at least I'll have pink noise (track  16) for a real time analyzer when I can borrow one.  The CD also has some  tracks for checking speaker phase, speaker condition (rattles at  "X" frequency), S.M.P.T.E codes, 440 hz ("A" for  tuning) and (my favorite cut) 1000 hz at 0db for sound level adjustments.  I expect to listen to it for hours, and not enjoy a minute of it.  I'd give  it about a 70, bad beat, terrible melody, but the lyric was suprizingly  informative.


title: Artistry is Wonderful

text: My vinyl copy started spinning the year this came out (1967). As a young trombone player then, I was enamored by these two guys. I've long since ditched all my vinyl (regretting it now!), but I was sure to digitize this album before passing it on (to my nephew's record store).


title: Wish I knew this info when I started my career.

text: The narrator's style threw me off initially.  I thought this would be an unabridged version of the print book.  I have both audio and print because I like to listen and read for total immersion.  Other than that, I just wish I knew this info when I started my career with my first job.  Having 5 kids now, some 26 years later, I imagine where we could have been financially.  Imagine two adult whole life policies acquired when we were in our 20's, and each child getting a policy just before birth.  The cash values and death benefits would be huge by now.  That's how to set up your future generations.  I know it's not too late, that's why I am doing it now.


title: Diverse and Fun

text: If you like fun and immature music, then you are going to love this album.  The music ranges across a wide spectrum but manages to stay a cohesive piece.  The band sounds like a mix between Reel Big Fish and Sublime with a little hip hop and funk thrown in.  There are some really fun and catchy songs on the album like Get Loose, The Roth Kung Foo and 2 Kool for Skool.  The album is listenable start to finish if you like the alt-ska genre of music.  I rated it as 3 stars, average to above average.


title: I miss the 80's!!

text: A great band from the 70's and 80's.  This collection contains some of their best material and is very enjoyable.


title: BEST COUNTRY ARTIST OUT THERE...

text: AWESOME!!

title: Fantastic !

text: I love Things Have Changed - what a super cd!


title: 02/23/44 - 07/16/14 RIP Johnny Winter, July 18, 2014

text:
It's a sad day hearing that one of the greatest guitar players ever passed away after a long and distinguished career. I was privileged to see Johnny in concert probably half a dozen times or so over the years and will always remember his awesome guitar playing!
I also have a lot of his albums (both cd and vinyl), including this one, and they are all great!
  This is one of my favorite Johnny albums!  Every one of the songs, covers by other artists, are really good!  Their version of "You Lost That Lovin' Feelinig" plus the smoking medley of "Slippin' & Slidin'", "Jail House Rock", "Tutti Frutti", "Sick and Tired", etc, and finally one of their best blues numbers "Baby Whatcha Want Me To Do" are big favorites on mine!  Johnny's guitar and vocals are superb as always and Edgar's vocals and saxophone playing are really good too as is the rest of their band from 1976, Randy Jo Hobbs, Richard Hughes, Floyd Bradbury.
Get this album, you will not be disappointed!

title: Wife happy

text: I bought this cd as a gift to my wife. As she was a fan at the time (I wasn't). She went crazy while hearing it probably bought her  childhood memories. It made me happy because she was happy about the cd.


title: Five Stars

text: The music perfectly complements the film.  It's at times suspenseful, scary, and tragic.

title: One Star

text: Unauthorized bootleg. The band will not see a dime from the sale of this.


title: perfect

text: I have listened to the 274 album, The Spirit, The Water and The Blood, a couple times this week. Recorded in 1999 it sounds great. Has not aged. It could be released today. Every brutally simple song still rocks. Each song made of barbed hooks, Lyrics that could have been written by Jeremiah during his lamentations period. The vocals cut with every word and groan. There is nothing I would replace or change. Nothing to add


title: Fantastic Music Making!

text: This 4-CD set and the 4-CD volume 2 of Music and Arts' The Art of Dimitri Mitropoulos are two sets that need to be reissued in some form.  Almost every work in the two sets is performed with Mitropoulos' uncanny ability to bring out the drama without affectation.  Find it if you can!  Highly recommended.  The Vaughan Williams Symphony No. 4 in Vol. 2 will alone knock your socks off!  Wow!


title: excellent quality, and the photocards are just great

text: Just got the album, and I received it in just 10 days!! so excited, excellent quality, and the photocards are just......wow *screaming* thanks^^


title: a really cool version.

text: an almost impossible to find original soundtrack....the only place to get the song by bobby goldsboro..."for a little while"  this soundtrack was produced 3ith 1st class results from the extensive liner notes to the high quality printed and audio content...the late jerry reed wrote and sung the original title track song GATOR....a really cool version.....if you watch the movie and want the soundtrack this is the one to get.....get it while it is still in print....

title: Love it

text: A great album by the Florida Boys, this is now one of my favorite CD's. If you are a Florida Boys Quartet fan, you will like this one. I have been listening to it often, and enjoy all of the songs.


title: Awesome!!

text: One of my all time favorite albums!!! I still have my original cassette great band awesome music!


title: Classic!!

text: Best live album ever!!


title: At last

text: I've waited 40 years to get the soundtrack to The Bedsitting Room, one of the great lost films of the 60/70s. The digital reproduction of the original master tape is outstanding. The soundtrack  comes alive. Moments of wonder and beauty in a shattered landscape. The suppliers are to be congratulated for an excellent choice of merchandise. Arrive quickly too. Buy with confidence.


title: I love Kanon.

text: Not as dark as her first album but every bit as enjoyable. I love Kanon.


title: Not a cheap price but, for sure, a cheap product

text: Of all the "Dynamic" label operas I have purchased over the last ten years (about two dozen), this was the first that had no libretto included: cheap and stingy indeed. (Why can't the customer know in advance that no libretto is included or available?) Do you think I'll buy a new release on the "Dynamic" label again? Think again! It isn't even that the libretto was not packaged with the discs and jewel-box, it is that "Dynamic" just did not even think it was necessary to provide a libretto. Thanks a lot!


title: the plastic cover came broken.

text: I am very happy with my CD.


title: Extra tracks

text: I didn’t need the extra stuff at the end of the CD but it’s good that it’s there.

title: Dream of you

text: This was a dream gettingthis album was in great condition and it is amaizing


title: magistral

text: bueno la verdad no concuerdo en nada con el otro chileno que postió un ocmentario (no escribo en ingles solo porque me da flojera)considero que Teddy Bautista es lejos el mejor judas que he oído (después de mí obviamente hhaha) bueno y lueog le ksigue Jerome Pradon de la version del '99) Camilo sesto ni decirlo logra que sea una experiencia religiosa el escucharlo, y Angela Carrasco también hace lo propio, la música logra un estilo más bien movido (debido logicamente al origen de r&b y soul de Los Canarios) pero eso pemrite un estilo propio para la versión en español, lo cual deestaca mayormente en las canciones de Judas (Teddy por ser el vocalistaa de Los Canarios logra una cohesion destacable) y bueno eso, quizás es pco parical mi opinión, peor la verdad la encuentro genial esta versión, isn desmerecer a las otras... y te ocmunico que en español si hay otras versiones disponibles como la de la versión mexicana...


title: Electronic Genious

text: This cd, from start to finish, is a masterpiece of ambient electronica fused with light industrial backrounds. The cd's high point is definately the upbeat song Home, which I think is one of Level's best song to date.  I love how he throws in the aggressive guitars and blends the elctronica so amazingly.  Nothing sounds out of place or tacky.  It all fits together perfectly.  You should also check out his older cd, Devil's Advocate, if you can get your hands on it.  Great material.


title: great condition

text: came perfectly and looks so pretty


title: Awesome

text: Very good was not damaged or anything. The quality is great everything great no complains.


title: Extreme avante gard

text:
I bought this as a gift. Difficult to find in the U.S. . Glad it existed in Japan. Disc quality excellent.
But, this music is not my personal taste. Though the recipiant of this gift loved the music . I found it absolutely abstract.
Acoustical Jackson Pollack .

text: Epic album!!


title: One of the best Champaign bands from the early '90s.

text:
I remember seeing them live at the Illini Union in '94.  They were great in concert.  I picked up their CD the next day.  Great music to listen to, to actually listen to the notes and chords being played, to feel the music wash over you.

I recal listening to them often while in an introspective mood.  Very good music to have on while contemplating the meaning of life.


title: You can't get better than Brickman!

text: Jim Brickman never fails to please!  His incredible talent for writing and performing piano is phenomenal, and his ability to transform classics into newly inspired musical art is amazing.  I never tire of listening to him.


title: Five Stars

text: Fantastic album...


title: The music cannot be automatically downloaded to Amazon Music on the Smart Phone

text: The unavailability of the music to be in the Amazon musicl library on my Smart Phone.


title: LOVE this CD!

text: This is my favorite Christmas CD in my collection.  If you like contemporary praise and worship Christmas music (yes, there is such a thing), you'll love this CD.  Stumbled across it years ago, and have it nearly worn out now!


Five stars are insufficient  for this SACD .  I bought it particularly for Ella's version of  'Love for Sale'
There is much more subtle detail revealed in her performance in comparison with earlier CD' versions.
Full marks for the engineers involved  as it is from a mono recording .


title: Nothing could be better.

text: I received this SACD on Ella's 100 Birthday and its a fitting, lovely tribute! I The people behind the remaster have performed the sonic equivalent of the Restoration of the Sistine Chapel. It's two hours worth of Ella's glorious voice singing Cole Porter. Nothing could be better.


title: Incredible

text: This was just like I remembered when I was a child, my father was in the Navy so it was very relatable. Now only if there were more discos around. Thankfully I was able to get a disco ball and light, so I could pull off my own in my living room.


title: Incorrect size and quality

text: I believed I was purchasing a woven patch that was 7 by 10 cm.  Instead I received a screen printed patch that is 11 1/2 by 13 inches that arrived folded in half.  Not cool.  I do not consider this a "better deal" in the end, as it was purchased as a gift to contribute to a friend's patch jacket.  I wanted a woven patch in the 7 by 10 cm size as described.

title: Ventures Hits Singles in MONO!

text: All of The Ventures early Liberty singles in MONO on a Japanese pressing!  Elaborate booklet (in Japanese) has color copies of picture sleeves.


title: What a Beautiful Recording!

text: A phenomenal pianist with a wonderful album of Bach Inventions.  30 tracks on a truly exceptional Japanese release.  Highly Recommended!!!


title: Rain Songs Collection Volume 1

text: Ukuleles dominate the sound for 8 songs about rain, but some tracks have a full band.  Wonderful sound and performances!  Amusing artwork in an R. Crumb style.  Highly recommended!


title: this is a bootleg

text:
There is a legitimate Scott Key CD, released by Lion Productions, which contains much of this material, from the master tapes.

Big Pink have a lot to answer for here. Honest reissue labels need support to survive; bootleg labels like Big Pink need to be snuffed out.


title: False Advertised Bonus Tracks

text:
Very Unhappy
Expensive, and wasn’t what is advertised.
It DOES NOT include the two bonus tracks as stated and that was the only reason I bought it.
Not to mention it came cracked...
Unfortunately this was a waist of money as I Just wanted the two bonus tracks as you can’t download them...


title: Learn Morse, the fun way

text: I tried to learn morse code with charts and the Koch methed, but they did not work. I had no way of knowing if i was doing it right,or if I was making progress. These cds give you a mentor; you can learn morse code in weeks and have fun doing it!


title: Excellent

text: I'm not yet done learning the morse code alphabet, but this has helped me with half of it so far. Great Value as well.


title: Fantastic!  Highly Recommended.

text:
I bought this Audio CD for my Dad (Andrew Toomer, M1ETX), as a Birthday present, since he is currently learning the Morse Code for interest - it is no longer a requirement in the UK, but he always wanted to learn it.

This is a fantasic Audio CD for learning purposes and it is very clear to listen to.  This gets the highest rating possible.  I cannot recommend it highly enough to Radio Amateurs wishing to learn the Morse Code.


Opened it and it’s a lil bow wow cd, not cool, what’s up with that!


title: Good price and smell!

text: A1 smell👌🏽


title: but content wise the item was amazing! I had given this as a gift to ...

text: The package too just about a month to deliver, but that is kind of expected by the fact that it came all the way from Korea, but content wise the item was amazing! I had given this as a gift to a special Koreaboo of mine and she loved it!


title: Amazing

text: This CD is full of epicness, if you love good music i suggest u get this CD. i just wish i could find some more songs.


title: Viva Mexico!

title: Delivery prompt.

text: The plastic cover is of low quality and filmsy.


title: well, its Motley !

text: Vinces voice is , well, bit off here and there, hoarse at times, but you do get the feel of those early concerts with this, thats why i like it


title: great service love the music

text: add to my collection


title: ROCK N ROLLa

text: I love this album.  I think I enjoyed Lola Cola more than any stooges or new york dolls album.  It's Glam Rock at its finest.  You can barely understand them, but lyrics come included in the booklet.  (but even those seem wrong at times)  Definitely try this album out.  The songs are very strange but catchy.  Just some great Rock N Roll.  My favorite song has to be Rock N Roll Fascination.  I wish these guys did more.  If you like T. Rex, Gary GLitter, and some of the earlier punk bands you will love Lola Cola.


title: Exquisite masterpiece.

text: I've been a fan of Dream Theater since their first album When Dream and Day Unite. To me this follow up is nearly flawless and as complete an album as they produced in all their years. I love the band and they have written many amazing compositions but none comparable to this gem.

title: Have You Really Heard, Mark Heard?

text: "iDeOLA - Tribal Opera" is audio ecstasy for people who don't mind thinking outside the box. The "box" for Mark Heard was primarily acoustic music aimed at a Christian audience. It was all gorgeous, mainly acoustic, musical poetry. What?/A&M gave Mark the freedom to explore new musical boundaries. The result is some of the catchiest pop tunes you'll ever hear. Mark felt there was too much of a shift on this one man band recording to use his name. The iDEoLA name was a clever one for Mark to choose because the recording was like idealistic Payola. What? Records afforded "Christian" artists an opportunity to break out of the confines of expectation. Heard's label mate Tonio K managed to release two recordings which were unlike each other as well as being unlike most of his previous work. The electronic pop of the cleverly titled "Romeo Unchained" album is another example of this artistic freedom. Compare it to the sparse "Notes From The Lost Civilization" and you'll see why What? was such a neat idea. However, neat ideas usually fall by the wayside and such was the fate of What? Records. However, if the T-Bone Burnett produced "Romeo Unchained," "Notes From The Lost Civilization" and (even) an unfinished and unreleased "Ole" can find their way back in print, there is hope for "Tribal Opera, " The hooks will stay with you long past the first listen. "I Am An Emotional Man" and "Is It Any Wonder?" lead off the CD, but the hits just keep on coming. This is the precursor to Mark's final three critically (and fan) acclaimed releases before his death which could said to be eerily foreshadowed in Tribal Opera's "Go Ask The Dead Man." Go get the recording. Better yet, do What? you can do in having this poetic and musical masterpiece re-released to another generation of Mark Heard fans. Contrary to another review, the LP, Cassette and CD versions are readily available right here in Amazon zShops and elsewhere: Seek and yea (Yay!) ye shall find at the price that ye seek.


title: Five Stars

text: good


title: Jo Stafford!! Enough said!

text: AWESOME SINGER!!!


title: Underappreciated gem!

text:
Being that this is the first real "prog" album from Genesis,  it is often overlooked due to the absence of Steve Hackett and Phil Collins. Don't let that alter your choice.  It is truly a classic.  Had it been released elsewhere in the Genesis timeline, it would have been hailed a masterpiece.

I had the vinyl when I was young, and yes, the mix was muddy and murky in spots.  This has all been fixed on the remastered CD.  Everything is crystal clear, it is like hearing it again for the first time.  I would certainly go for the remastered CD for the best listening experience.

This album was truly ahead of it's time, enjoy!


title: Great song list !

text: Love this CD !  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


title: Five Stars

text: Very good


Finally !  This is Molly Hatchet in all of their raw, young and hungry power. I got to see them twice during this era of the band, once opening for Black Sabbath and once for Aerosmith and this is exactly what they sounded like, right down to the set list. The recording quality is about what you would expect from almost 40 year old recordings, so if you are an audiophile, this will not please you. I would have liked for it to have sounded better, but the fact this package exists is good enough for me. This is a 4 disc set and all of Hatchet's most popular early songs are here. Everything is left in including Dave Hlubek's lead guitar screw ups and Danny Joe Brown"s off key singing, out of control feedback,etc. There are 2 cds in the set that have almost identical set lists. If you are a Molly Hatchet fan of any degree, you should buy this while you still can. To me,this is the only live album of theirs that captures the true spirit of the band. All of the others I have sound too cleaned up in the studio. These recordings are as unpolished as it gets. The fourth disc in this set is the best sounding one sonically to me. It was recorded at the Lakeland Civic Center in Florida and has Jimmy Farrar on vocals. This is Molly Hatchet at the top of their game. Buy it and enjoy.

This songs remind me of Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante and Javier Solis only modernized for the 20th century. The arrangements belong to a fusion style that integrates rock, blues, jazz, norteño music, mariachi music and more. Homenaje a mi Tierra is like peeping into modern Mexico multi faceted, multi racial modern Mexico.

title: SECRET OF THE INCAS and THE FAR HORIZONS soundtracks on one disc ..... what more can you ask for?

text:
I have listened to this wonderful disc on four occasions, enjoying it immensly each time. This review is just about the SECRET OF THE INCAS score, but THE FAR HORIZONS is truly magnificent!
The only complaint I have is that the sleeve cover designed by Doug Haverty is solely devoted to the other Heston soundtrack on the disc, THE FAR HORIZONS, and SECRET OF THE INCAS just gets a mention on the cover by way of a brown label which announces "Also includes Secret of the Incas". What a shame that Haverty didn't include artwork of Heston as Harry Steele on the cover, though. I reckon that SECRET OF THE INCAS is far more culturally significant than the Lewis and Clark adventure movie (but then I would say that, wouldn't I)
The inner contents of the little sleeve booklet does contain eight b/w stills from INCAS along with some informative notes; it is certainly a very nicely produced package all round. I suppose since 20 of the 34 cues on the disc are from THE FAR HORIZONS that it should take precedence on the cover, but I bet there are more Heston fans of INCAS than HORIZONS.

David Buttolph's exotic score for SECRET OF THE INCAS was recorded on 2, 3, and 5 February 1954, at Paramount Pictures Recording Stage, Hollywood, California. It isn't generally known that this beautiful score was on the "eligible list" in the run-up to the 1954 Oscar's, but unfortunately didn't make it to the final Top 10, and neither did Buttolph's scores the following year for LONG JOHN SILVER and I DIED A THOUSAND TIMES which were also on the "eligible list".

The SECRET OF THE INCAS section begins with track 17 through to 28 with two bonus tracks, 33 and 34. The sleeve notes don't list the length of each cue so I have included this important bit of info straight after the title of each one.

17. PRELUDE (Parts 1 and 2) 3:007
This contains an orchestral version of "Ataypura" by Moises Vivanco, then the husband of Yma Sumac. The PRELUDE was going to be used in the movie as the credits rolled at the beginning, but I'm so pleased that they decided to use the first two minutes of Yma Sumac singing "Ataypura" instead. Buttolph's PRELUDE wouldn't have had the same impact on me in that atmospheric opening scene of the piper playing in The Sacred Valley.

18. NATIVE MUSIC # 1 (alternate) 01:17
This flute music begins in the movie when Harry Steele meets Ed Morgan at the crummy El Prado. Heston strolls down the Cuzco street (actually a Paramount Studios set) and walks past a piper sat down near the El Prado and then talks 'business' with the seedy Morgan. The music continues all the way through their over-heated conversation, carrying on when Morgan nods to his hitman and also when Heston strolls to his hotel, a location shot at the Plaza Rejocigo in Cuzco. It is a hauntingly sad little melody that possibly signifies the lonely existence of the greedy gringos Steele and Morgan.

19. ELENA ARRIVES 02:09
This is one cue that I don't recognize from any part of the movie. The first minute is like music from a western; I actually envisaged Claire Trevor in STAGECOACH not Nicole Maurey in SECRET OF THE INCAS. This cue seems strangely out of place considering the location is Peru and not the Wild West. It's certainly not the music played when Elena arrives in Cuzco.

20. COCKTAIL MUSIC # 2 03:37
A totally fabulous cue - easily the highlight of the whole cd in my opinion. This is the music that is played when Elena arrives at the hotel to meet Harry, but she talks to the crew-cut nerd at the bar first. It's smoothly sexy with a Latin beat - I love it!

21. BY THE CAMPFIRE 04:09
The first 25 seconds is when Harry and Elena begin their Inca Trail trek, and I instantly recognized the yellow dinghy sequence at the 39 seconds mark. The actual campfire music doesn't begin until the 54 second mark. It is romantic and dreamy, very fitting considering Chuck and Nicole were making whoopie round the campfire and discussing cherry trees!

22. DANCE TO THE SUN 01:38
This isn't actual Quechuan music - but Buttolph's score really makes the location footage of the Quechuan ritual dance come alive.

23. PILGRIMAGE (Part 2) 01:14
This is a bongo drum beat that is only faintly scored in some of the movie scenes: Heston says "tents" when he first sees the archaeological camp at Machu Picchu, and when the Indians bring out the mummy of the Mamacuna.

24. ELENA AND HARRY QUARREL 02:05
This music is when Elena ends the argument with Harry with the great line "For a tall man you are the smallest I ever met!"

25. NATIVE DANCE # 4 01:05
I love this particular cue, it really is terrific stuff, and really matches the Quechua dancing in the location footage.

26. SUNBURST STOLEN (Part 2) 02:42
Really fast and furious 'chase' music, as Ed Morgan suddenly turns into an Olympic athlete scurrying around the ruins of Machu Picchu with the Sunburst.

27. MORGAN'S DEATH 02:25
Is a sort of a continuation from the previous cue, with a slight variation of "Ataypura", and ends very slowly and sad as old Ed Morgan reaches the end of the line and discovers to his cost that gravity, indeed, does get you in the end.

28. END TITLE 00:16
16 seconds of Happy Ending music just after Harry Steele's last punchline.

33. TANGO 01:05
Great little number.

34. COCKTAIL MUSIC #5 00:37
Just a few seconds of the cocktail music playing when Harry is watching Mr and Mrs Winston dancing in the hotel

For those of you who haven't ordered this cd yet - don't delay - it's a true Heston fan collector's item of some very rare music.


title: Wonderful voice

text: Wonderful memories of meeting him in Lisbon many years ago


title: For me the footage is clear and the sound is good. What you have to realise with a video ...

text: This is a treasure for me for the 1987 girls girls girls tour concert footage. For me the footage is clear and the sound is good. What you have to realise with a video like this, that its a bootleg. Would've gave it five stars, but the 83 US festival footage is not as clear and the sound on Vincent Neil goes in and out.

text: I had this product years ago that was a gift to me but it was lost during a move a couple of years ago so I decided to re-order it for myself but it was absolutely perfect and brought back great memories. The place I got it from was completely professional and prompt! Highly recommend!


title: Perfect Dinner Party Music

text:
Being new to the dinner party set and a music lover who wanted  "the complete experience" I tried out a few CDs I had in my collection. One of my old favorites called too much attention to itself, another felt too young/edgy for my company, etc. When I tried putting in a collection of CDs and letting it run for a few hours it was (twice!) a failure. Tempo or style changes had an impact on the mood.

So here is a book of 10 instrumental CDs by pianist Carl Doy (with an orchestra - all real musicians, not a midi player) that you can put in a multi-disc CD player and let it run for the evening. I'd recommend the collection for guests who like classical music, maybe 30+ age group, who also appreciate Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles (who doesn't like at least one of these)?

I love it. It takes away the work of figuring out music, does not get old, and if you play it at the right level for your gathering it provides a soft and easy background for people to enjoy good food, good wine and good company.


title: Five Stars

text: Our favorite gift for special couples!


title: Gran compañía para una comida, una buena lectura, para relajarse

text: Lo compré en una tienda de la Quinta Avenida NY. Me gustó la selección de música, las fotos. Sin embrago, luego de escucharlo al volver a mi país, quedé encantado. Hay mucha música de este tipo interpretada por famosos pianistas, pero esta tiene algo especial. Vale la pena.


title: Artist is a superb singer if you enjoy trucking music!!

text: CD arrived in good shape although the jewel case was broken. CD still sounds great though.


title: My Mom loved it!

text: I bought this for my Mom as she has always loved to hear Johnny Cook sing. This was the "only" Johnny Cook item I could find on the internet for sale. (Understable, as he passed away years ago.)  Mom has enjoyed this tape very much!


title: GREAT

text: Came in good condition and everything about it is great


title: Received in great condition

text: Received this CD in great condition, all good.


title: HODGEPODGE

text: I became familiar with the early Mahavishnu Orchestra recordings as a child exploring what Jazz has to offer.  I guess that the group was categorized as jazz due to the improvisation and musicians.  Extraordinary musicians for certain.  However, I felt at times that they could also compete with rock and roll heavy metal musicians as well.  For me, some of it became just too much noise to bare.<br />The late Mahavishnu recordings toned things down considerably in what I would call a more musically favorable approach.  After hearing some of that music, I was quite curious about Inner Worlds and what it had to offer.  Overall, this recording is most disappointing with the exception of two, possibly three tracks (if one can embrace Planetary Citizen).  Tracks 1 and 6 and 8 if one can embrace the message are the only reasons I occasionally explore this recording.  Much to be desired as a whole, but the selected tracks may be worth the effort.


title: MIXED BAG-ONE OVERRATED ONE UNDERRATED

text: I heard Gears years ago and recall how disappointed I was.  While I have accepted it for what it is, I have yet to comprehend the hype that it receives.  I feel that other Mizell sessions from the 70s are much better, but that is my opinion,  Forever Taurus is a huge improvement because I feel that it is not watered down by too much of anything, plus it does not have vocals.  Forever Taurus has the 70s trademarks all over it,  but in an entertaining way.  I have found Gears to be lukewarm while Forever Taurus sets off into keyboard frenzies.


title: Stompin'!

text: Hard to believe now, but 2nd only to the Beatles in the mid-60's, these guys were the most popular. More than the Stones, Kinks,Animals, Who, etc. They appeared regularly on the Ed Sullivan Show and had numerous top-10 hits. They don't sound like any other band sounded (tho I once heard they modeled their sound on Gary "U.S." Bonds and that makes sense if you listen). Nothing profound, no insights into the universe, just absolutely stompin stompin stompin rock & roll. Buy it and put it on your ipod and play it at the beach this summer. You'll be glad you did!


title: Failed to receive this CD

text: I have ordered this CD twice and twice after I paid for it I ended up getting reimbursed because the seller said he no longer has it in stock. It is unfortunate because this CD is actually very good. The performers are the best of what the Latin music world can offer.


title: Super recordings if you can find it.

text: This an excellent music.  I'm hoping to find the original list of songs as the one I received was different.


title: Listen and Hear

text: Don Moen is good at what he does.  This is an excellent CD


These guys are great! First saw them on The Voice. They did not win the season, but they are true professionals. I'd buy more of their music.


title: Prizzy Prizzy Please Rocks Your Socks Off And Cuts a Rug!

text:
This self-titled debut album from the Bloomington, Indiana-based art-funk-pop-punk band "Prizzy Prizzy Please" is great.  Strange lyrics, even stranger instrumentation (I've had a lot of people intrigued what they did to their guitar to give it such an interesting sound, only to discover there was no guitar),  and powerhouse performance energy are what await you on this album.

This particular CD is a nice appetizer in Prizzy's developing and evolving sound.  It has a sampling of everything from their early days ("Captain Bob", about their bassists island encounter with flesh-eating "disaster monkeys") to their more recent inneuendo-laden "Shorgasm".

Keep an eye out for these guys, as I fully expect their next album to be filled with even more fusion-powered punk and insanity than this one.


title: Love it.

text: Love all the unreleased tracks. She is the best!

title: Excellent first album

text: Brilliant raw album. Hard rock like early ACDC. Later albums were better  produced but didn't capture Mark Gables voice before his throat problems.  Really worth buying

text: I feel so lucky to have found this album. It is sadly out of print. It took me a year to find one. She is very talented.


title: Experimental electronic pop weirdness

text: I have been searching this out on CD for years, what a thrill to finally have it. As stated by one reviewer above, some of the mixes are slightly variant from the original LP release in the '80s, but not enough to distract from the enjoyment. These guys were really ahead of their time when this was first released, innovative and avant-garde electronic pop experimentation with some recurring themes. Imagine a slightly poppier David Byrne/Brian Eno "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts", if that's any help.


title: Mixed feelings

text:
So, this review is titled "Mixed Feelings" because I love the album but not the remastering job. I've been wanting this on CD for a long time, and I'm not sure it was worth the wait. The songs are great, a real slice of the '80s and many of them not available outside of this collection. I had, in particular, been wanting Oingo Boingo's "Better Luck Next Time", which is very rare. The Tommy Tutone song and Phil Seymour song can be very hard to find as well.

The CD is a CD-R, printed on demand by CBS Canada in 2004 and quickly went out of print. It contains all the songs from the original LP soundtrack as well as other songs included in the movie but not on the original LP. The sound quality is clean with all the elements clearly audible, with low noise but with inconsistent quality between tracks. It would appear that the songs easily available from digital sources (U2, Police, Cars, Blondie, et al) were taken from remastered CDs for inclusion here, but that rarer songs (Oingo Boingo, Phil Seymour, Fabulous Paraguayas, The Fortune Band) were remastered specifically for this release from less than stellar sources. So while the sound is "clean", it is also very bass-y and "boom-y", I don't know how else to describe it. Kind of cavernous, slightly hollow and oversaturated on the bass end. So one popular song sounds normal and the next rarer track sounds thick and bass-y, hence inconsistent. I'm still glad to have it, but am disappointed the remastering of the rare tracks wasn't better. Four and a half stars for the original album, but three stars for this pressing.


title: Defective Pressing

text:
This album has been (and still is, as far as I'm concerned) way overdue for CD release. Not one of Randy Bachman's best efforts but still quite worthy,and I was thrilled to finally be getting a CD copy, as my vinyl is worn out. Unfortunately, this album was "remastered" at THE WRONG SPEED. "Side One" plays too fast, and all three vocalists sound like chipmunks. There is a humorous element to hearing the baritone growl of Fred Turner pitched up to alto, but overall a huge disappointment. I would normally grade this album at three to four stars, but until it's mastered at the right speed, it gets zero stars from me. Kinda weird that "side two" plays ok....I don't understand how "half" an album gets mastered wrong. Don't waste your money.

The seller was kind enough to refund my money, here's hoping this gets remastered correctly soon.


title: Great Worship CD

text: This CD has many favorite songs and Brandon Lake does not disappoint with his worship music.


title: Love it!

text: Loved the game & its soundtrack. It's only getting 4 stars because the case was cracked on arrival. Beyond that, all the contents were in goid condition.


title: Amazing group!

text: Saw them perform last night at The Jazz Standard in New York. Amazing group!


title: Completely Amazing

text: Let me start by saying Kittie is the best female metal band I have ever heard, they're amazing! Spit the album is incredible, all the songs are amazing, there isn't one song i wouldn't give 5 stars for. The singer has such an amazing voice, she can go from a beautiful singing voice, right into a hard core metal scream. It blew me away. The lyrics are so meaningful,without being overly complicated. This is a must-get album if you enjoy excellent metal.


title: great!!!a pus

text: its good!i really enjoyed this cd!i recommend it highly to everyone whom enjoys metal music,especially that of danzig.buy this album.great deal......!!!


title: devil music-vol666

text: this is some crazy stuff-and really wild!---please check it out!better not play it backwards or for too long--may cause rude behavior and unwanted homicidal desires--be warned!!!comes with a  cool poster-with the first few sold autographed!check it out!


title: Nothing like it anywhere.

text: Nothing like it anywhere.  Each song is different, each has a message.  Golden voice, alive, cool backup music.


title: Five Stars

text: The greatest CD to ever have sound.


title: Heavenly musical track/Crash Landing On You!!

text: My favorite purchase in the past eighteen months!!!! Absolutely love this music soundtrack from the wonderful original Netflix series - an absolute must-see if you haven’t discovered it already!!! A true gift and storytelling at it’s finest!!!


title: A trip down nostalgia!

text: I had this record of kid's songs as a young child. They are from a bygone era and I wanted to relive my childhood through listening to them once again.


title: Excellent

text: Excellent CD. I did not know how great Rod Stewart's early music was till I bought this CD.


title: Beware

text: To ask almost $70 for this product is utterly laughable. I think the seller is hoping prospective purchasers will think it is 10 seperate discs. It is of course only a single compilation CD - incidentally, it came free with Gramophone magazine. Not a bad mark-up for indigoheirlooms.... Avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid, and approach this seller with caution.


title: THE CD to have after the recording of the REAL GUYS

text: This music is VERY upbeat.  I now can tell the difference between a fiddle and a violin.  Every song is recognizable and invites you to tap your feet, play your spoons and sing along.  I have "discovered" other styles of this great bands music and this one is the one that I would recommend over ALL of the others (Bach, Tango, Soul just to mention a few).


title: Constant reminder of what could and should have been with this amazing band.

text: If you love Good Bye Mr McKenzie I'm not going to try and define how far they were a head of their time, musically. This LIVE album is brilliant with one downfall it's a constant reminder of what could and should have been with this amazing band.


title: Amazing Album

text: Truly fantastic album contains Irelands greatest song writing and performing talents. This album is a master class in how to be a musical genius. The album has wonderful packing and contains all of Declans greatest hits In a live setting. An amazing album he is as good live as in the studio.


title: Lovely CD

text: Lovely CD in the incomparable dreamy style of the Biltmore music box.


title: It's okay

text: Allthough it is new there is a small scratch on one of the sides. So I think it is rather expensive for a 45.


title: Five Stars

text: excellent


title: Good!

text: This is an interesting take on this group. A lot of stuff that sounds like Brent Mason's Hot Wired, but at the same time interesting vocal songs. Kind of cool to hear the group that records hit songs for everyone else do their own take. This is the only way to get a lot of the songs on cd that these guys do live. Awesome.


title: Thanks!

text: I love it!<br />Thanks for this item, now I can finally listen to some old disco music that i like a lot.


title: Great band!

text: Great album, these guys are solid through and through.

title: Brian Gari is a brilliant artist - Another amazing CD.

text:
Run do not walk to purchase EXPOSE YOURSELF.

Brian Gari once again is a consummate storyteller.  He is a visual lyricist. His lyrics evoke memories long ago that touch me.  I find his contribution to songwriting is unique and valuable for our times.

Let me tell you just a few of Brian's songs well worth listening to.
DON'T SEND ME HOME
EVERYONE COMES WITH BAGGAGE
ONE NAME ON THE DOORBELL
WHEN YOU REMEMBER HER
VALENTINE
EXPOSE YOURSELF

As I said, Brian is brilliant and his wife Jeannie sings a wonderful song filled with heart and care.

All my very best.

text: I already own a few of their CDs. On a side note, I just heard that Dolores O'Riordan, the lead singer has died. In Westminster, England this morning, January 15th. It's quite a shock. To me and I am sure to other fans. R.I.P.


title: It's awesome!

text: I love this album!!! It has all my favorite songs. If you're a fan of The Cranberries I recommend this album, is the best!!


title: Sound not overloaded

text: Great cd. Complete. Every chart hits from 90's, here. Sound not overloaded comparision music sounds actually. The best compilation for Dolores' band.


title: ONLY 1 CD NOT 4

text: WAS ADVERTISED AS BEING A 4 CD SET.IT IS NOT,ITS ONLY 1.TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY,THE ORIGINAL PRICE TAG WAS LEFT ON IT SELLING FOR ONLY $13.I PAID ALMOST $150.00 BELIEVING IT WAS A 4 CD SET.


title: fresh

text: Good super fresh mix, reminds me of something that fabio would put out, real groovey, but a little harder than his style, its got a good vibe flowing through it though, and it flows a lot. good cd to dance too, or something that will put u in a good mood......A+


title: Five Stars

text: I love anything Mark Gatiss and this does not disappoint.


title: You've heard the samples, check out the originals!

text: Sometimes an album is better known by the samples taken from it than on its own merits, and I think it's fair to say that is the case with Sylvia Striplin's "Give Me Your Love".  Though she certainly had the chops (touring and starring in "The Wiz" during the 1970s; subsequently working with jazz legend Roy Ayers), the album went nowhere after its release in 1981, and seemed destined to be forgotten. 15 years later, however, "You Can't Turn Me Away" was sampled by Junior M.A.F.I.A. for their hit "Get Money", and the rest is history.  Though still out of print, songs from the album have been sampled by everyone from Erykah Badu and Armand Van Helden to the Backstreet Boys.  The album itself is fairly solid!  Previously mentioned "You Can't Turn Me Away" is definitely a standout among the ballads, and exuberant dance pop ditties like the title track  would've easily fit on an early Janet Jackson album.  It's a shame "Give Me Your Love" hasn't been re-released, but with so many artists drawing inspiration from it - one can't say it went unnoticed.  Worth checking out.


title: Solid Effort from a Prince Protégé

text: I was pleasantly surprised by this album!  St. Paul (aka Paul Peterson) started out playing for the Time (and appeared in the "Purple Rain" movie!) before Prince installed him as lead singer of new band The Family.  After one album, St. Paul struck out on his own in search of solo success.  Prince was not involved with this new album - but you can hear the Minneapolis sound he made famous throughout.  "Rich Man" is noticeably similar to The Family's "High Fashion", and "Intimacy" sounds like one of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis' productions (it's not, but think of Human League's "Human" and you'll get the idea).  "Soul Touch" should've been released as a single, with its danceable groove and backing female vocals.  If you're a fan of 80's R&B, the Minneapolis sound, and any of the artists in whom Prince believed and with whom he collaborated (Tony LeMans, Taja Sevelle)  - this will be a nice addition to your collection!


title: Heavenly

text: Beautiful vocals, beautiful music. I listened to Zazu every day of my summer on the sea, absolutely wonderful.


title: Excellent selections of hits spanning career of Ms. Bush!

text: Awesome collection of music from this talented artist.  I really like "Experiment IV" because I used to work as a military contractor.  Kate's voice is unique and unmistakable.  I love it.  This is a must have for any fan.  She has many more hits than just "Running Up That Hill".  She is a newly inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.  Congratulations, Kate Bush!


title: great band, superb cd

text: "Worship" music today encompasses a lot of pop-oriented stuff that doesn't seem to have much power behind it (exceptions being the "Worship Together" and "Revival Generation" recordings).  But if you really want to hear how honest, brutal, and beautiful a genuine and moving worship experience can be, you need to find The Violet Burning.  Greatest worship album ever recorded:  "Strength," Violet Burning (good luck finding it!).  Second greatest:  "Faith and Devotions of a Satellite Heart," also by VB.  Worthy addition to this list:  "I Am a Stranger In This Place."  The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because of the comparison with the other two recordings mentioned; for example, "Song of the Harlot" on this CD is stunning, but would have been even more powerful had I not already heard the first version of the same song on "Strength."  This is one of those songs you can never hear without weeping before God; in fact, "I Am a Stranger In This Place" is pretty much filled with those songs.  If you think Christian worship music has been drifting toward the bland and saccharine, you should check out The Violet Burning.


title: Listenable I suppose.

text:
I am not really a fan of this type of music, but I am writing a review because I am promoting this CD. I do have it listed here in the Amazon marketplace hoping someone will buy it.
All commercialism aside. I did take the chance to listen to the CD in its entirety and found it quite interesting. A mix of good dance beats and interesting robotic sounds. The robot sounds really caught my fancy.
Well there is nto much more I can say about the disc since i am not an avid listener of techno, dance or trance music. However, if it is still listed here give it a try.
I gave this 3 stars because it is not Sgt. Peppers but it isn't exactly schlock either.
 Thanks for reading my review.

title: 'Shrak ishi za Migul' (2006) CD

text:
'Tach' (2001) and 'Shrak ishi za Migul' (2006) CD

Za Frûmi is the musical creation of Simon Heath and Simon Kölle and the two CD's under review are actually Chapters Two and Three of a trilogy. Za Frûmi in the context of the CD's may be outlined as a world in which, '...the spirits are constantly interacting with creatures in the wilderness and in ancient places. The righteous spirits are called "Frûmi" and the evil called "Ari"'. The primary actors in this world are orcs, Ologs and Uruks which makes for a very challenging listen as the music is interlaced with dialogue spoken in Orkish; but it is a language derived by both Simon Heath and Simon Kölle rather than extrapolated from Tolkien. However the environment Tolkien's orcs inhabited together with clues to their brutal society and language has greatly influenced not only Za Frûmi but also the myriad of Orkish representations found in other genres such as gaming and literature.

The CD's may be seen to resemble concept albums in that they both contain a narrative of sorts which unfolds in a progressive manner from the intro to the outro although their form is more of that of a play in which all
dimensions are made as 'real' as possible. 'Tach' is formed around a steady progression of percussion and ethnic instruments what this achieves is an evocative background layering upon which the adventures undertaken by a group of orcs is recounted through dialogue and sound effects, such as the rasping of swords or a blizzard. The CD's are constructed in the form of theatre; the orcs are convincingly voiced and their world is part-formed through background sounds through which the listener may complete the picture, as it were, with their imagination. For a project of this nature to succeed it needs to be approached in a mature and professional manner and these factors are cognizant in both CD's. Swirling atmospheres surround the actors driven, in parts, by rumbling percussions which on occasion add a tribal flavour to the dark ambience. The world of the orc presented here conveys a lingering melancholy and constant struggle. The final CD of the trilogy, 'Shrak ishi za Migul' continues with the ominous themes but the  dialogue commands more of a presence than with 'Tach' and to some degree it
may be seen as a part of the instrumentation as the tonations and accents
benefit the mood of the story.  'Shrak ishi za Migul' flows with a greater
dark ambience which instils a chthonic atmosphere to the proceedings. Yet
this CD feels more accomplished in respect of its formulation and execution. A track called, 'Immra' is a stunning arrangement containing a haunting female vocal that elicits an entrancing piece complete with sound of rain and the distant chimes of a bell. It is in such an evocation of atmosphere that Za Frûmi are more than capable.

These CD's are indeed challenging providing a rewarding escape especially if listened to in their entirety but they should not be approached as Tolkien proper (the events do not take place in Middle-earth or are even assumed to).They are competent recordings in that one is enveloped by a unique world of theatre in which the orc takes centre stage and their martial society which has held fascination for many readers both within and without Tolkien's works.

text: Rare Find, This record was done by my Wife's Uncle. Didn't think we would ever find a copy


title: Where is the cd?

text: There was no way I could listen too the cd because there was not a cd in the cover. When I opened it there was no cd..just the cover jacket! It is very disappointing when that happens


title: we loved it

text: my husband has been looking for a long time for some of these songs and was delighted to find all the songs on this cd.


title: WHAT?!

text: Absolute fun in the form of music. There's something seriously wrong - or right - or, at least different - about this guy. He's none of these people but a review is more helpful if I can relate him to someone else you might know. I hear hints of Harry Nilsson (playfulness), Frank Zappa (creativity), The Flaming Lips (creativity), Firesign Theatre (really), and Don McLean (his voice, on some cuts). Great music and a great message (respect for animals).  Go ahead. Take a chance. This kind of work should be rewarded.

title: perfect

text: the album came with everything it promised and i got sehun’s photocard & postcard so i was really happy! the extra photocards are basically just two little polaroid photos, i got a pic of kyungsoo and a twice member for some reason lol. poster is so big and i ran out of room on my actual walls so i had to put it on my ceiling


Sir. Andre Gagnon's music is filled with the peace. Especially, I like the pieces of `Un Piano Sur La Mer' and `Les Jours Tranquilles'. While I was writing an essay, I always listened to this music. It gave me the spiritual safety. It included the scent of the peaceful nature. It will give you rest, healing and comfort, too. In this modern society, people need the spiritual refuge.


title: Average

text: Like it just fine.


title: Inspiriing, encouraging music

text: I love the music of the Sons of Korah.  It is very Biblically sound since most of the songs are straight scripture verses.  Reminds me of what the music might have been like back in the days of the children of Israel.  Reflective, encouraging, I like to listen to at night as I'm falling asleep.

text: Exquisite musical production.  You won't be dissapointed with the music of this musician in this particular CD.  5 Stars all the way !!!!


title: Very diverse collection of songs!

text: I heard of this artist from the Princess Kaguya documentary. Nikaido has a very diverse skill; some songs are gentle love songs, some are upbeat and uplifting, and some are silly and fun to listen to. All in all, this album is a fantastic buy.


title: Cardiac Kids - Flat Broke

text:
I originally found out about this band on the Playstation/Sega Saturn game Courier Crisis. Two of their unreleased tracks not featured on this album were on it. I made a myspace profile for this band to see if anyone would know anything about them. The actual band members contacted me thanking me for caring about their old music. They let me keep the profile running for them and sent me this album along with their unreleased 2nd album (burned) in the mail.

The tracklisting for this cd is

1. Across the Line
2. Baker Starts
3. What a Difference
4. S.O.S.
5. Stay Away
6. Politics
7. Punk Hoedown
8. Stranded
9. On My Mind
10. 13 Reasons
11. Cardiac Kids
12. Stories.
13. It's Gone

Track 13 is not listed on the back cover of the cd, but it's there as a bonus track. "It's Gone" was their first song and had actually been played on one of their local San Diego radio stations a few times.

Flat Broke was recorded in 1994 and printed in 1995. Their second unreleased album was titled Viva Uranus and was recorded in late 1995, shortly before the Cardiac Kids disbanded.

The band members are:
Preston Swirnoff - vocals
Eric Forward - guitar
Brandon Wood - guitar
Derek Kuhen - bass
Darren Baker - drums

This is really good punk rock music. Compare it to Bad Religion, The Offspring or Pennywise. The pace is pretty fast and it just rocks.

Eric and Derek have formed a new band called The Salmon Asylum and Preston became the producer for a band called Habitat Sound.


title: I Hope You Know...

text: I hope you guys know that Trent Reznor released this album for free. For Free. You don't need to spend any money on this album because it's all over the Internet for free. Just Google it and it'll take you to an official nine inch nails website where you can download the whole album in great quality, FOR FREE. That being said this album is a fantastic work of art and it is a blessing upon mankind that Trent gave to the world without a price tag.

title: A "Boheme" to stink up the catalogue

text:
"La Boheme" has, for the most part, fared well on records.  There are many classic recordings of this, the most frequently performed opera in the world:  the Beecham with De los Angeles and Björling;  the Votto with Callas and di Stefano;  the Serafin with Tebaldi and Bergonzi;  the Karajan with Freni and Pavarotti.  Other recordings with various merits include the ones with Tucker and Moffo, Peerce and Albanese (under Toscaini), Domingo and Caballé, Gigli and Albanese, Scotto and Kraus, and more recently, Alagna and Gheorghiu.
This new turkey of a "Boheme," utterly lacking in any artistic (as opposed to crassly commercial) justification, is not even worthy to be mentioned in the same review as the foregoing, much less to be compared to them.  To anyone who knows and cares about Puccini's music, this recording is not only unnecessary and indifensible, it is offensive.  There is so much blame to go around that it is difficult to know where to begin, but let's start with the conductor, Mehta, who apparently cannot make up his mind whether he wants Puccini's poor opera to be pummelled to death with a sledgehammer or drowned in a slough of sentimental goo.  Barbara Frittoli has a pleasant if undistinguished voice but she is a total cipher as Mimi, devoid of personality or individuality of timbre.  The Marcello and Musetta are good, and if they don't erase memories of their more illustrious predecessors on disc, they do not embarass themselves, either.  But then, who buys "Boheme" for the Marcello and Musetta?
So let's face it - the entire rationale for this recording is pop star and operatic tenor wannabe, Andrea Bocelli;  the rest of the recording is just so much surplusage.  And so how does the Great Bocelli fare as Rodolfo?  To put it bluntly, the man may be a fine singer of pop music and folk songs, but in opera, he couldn't sing his way out of a paper bag.  In spite of the blatant miking, which sounds like he was crooning directly into the microphone (no doubt he was), it is painfully obvious that Bocelli's modest resources are utterly inadequate to the demands of this role.  High notes are lunged at and thin, ends of phrases are unsupported and often simply drop off, and he is incapable of any real dynamic variation, singing most of the role at an unvarying mezza forte.  Most damaging of all, his voice is incapable of expanding and blooming to fill out Puccini's grand lyric phrases.  All the digital wizardry in the world cannot turn Mr. Bocelli into what he is not, and what he manifestly and undeniably is not is an operatic tenor.  The computer jockeys likewise cannot create in Bocelli any sense of Puccini style.  As a previous reviewer observed, Bocelli sings this music like it was Andrew Lloyd Webber, with a soupy, crooning style totally unsuited to the music.
None of this, of course, is going to deter Mr. Bocelli's determined fans, 99% of whom have no point of reference for comparison, from buying this recording.  And if their love affair with "Andrea" causes them to buy this recording and thereby to strike up an acquaintance with "La Boheme" and, possibly, with opera as a whole, I would be the first to celebrate - so long as they don't think that in listening to this recording they have really heard "La Boheme" or Puccini, or that they have heard any representative example of what a truly great operatic tenor sounds like.
This recording really stinks.  Eees so bad, eees terrible.


title: Honest Review for the Program Wholetones: The Sound of Healing : Book Review

text: I do not know where this last person got his information but I bought the Wholetones CD and its is the most calming music I have every experience.  Any time I am stress or feel I need some help relaxing from a long or a hectic day, I put on the CD and my whole attitude changes.  I actually bought two only because I wanted to play in my car for the commute home. It really helps in rush hour traffic.  The site I  originally received my information is from http://shopsolutions123.com/wholetones-review.  The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the price.  I think it is a little pricey for most people, but I did find a coupon at http://shopsolutions123.com/wholetones-review which helped. Also, they do have a 90 day money back guaranteed.

The seller is super kind and really cool about everything and will work with you if you are unhappy with what you've received. Photocards and posters are in great condition, just know the poster is folded so there will be marks! They don't look that bad once you hang it up though. I saw some reviews here talking about the weak binding, fortunately I have not seen that as the book seems to be securely in the case! 10/10 you should get this. Btw you also get three additional photocards, but I forgot to add that to the picture!

title: Superb, funny, easy listening.

text: I love this CD!<br />It's funny but also easy listening.  I play it all the time, but not when friends are over since the lyrics are a bit offensive in places.


title: The greatest cheese for the buck

text: While this disc is in no ways imaginative or musically innovative, it is easily worth the cash as a memento of the years when an unhappy clash of cultures came to a head. Richard Cheese's mix of today's unimaginative alterna-pop and equally unimaginative retro-lounge act is a beautiful ridicule of both form and content. In many ways, "Lounge Against the Machine" is more effective than recent pop-spoof acts (ala Weird Al) as it captures the ludicrous nature of the song by keeping the original lyrics and simply changing the context. This is ever-so-poignant in his rendition of Sublime's "The Wrong Way" and his often tasteless cover of Nirvana's "Rape Me." At the same time, the contrast of Cheese's happy-go-lucky lounge act with lyrics of rape, prostitution, violence and murder strikes at the tradition of a lounge culture used to pushing kitsch to an extreme. "Lounge Against the Machine" is, at its essence, a stark portrayal of a society stuck between a horribly self-righteous discontent and a painfully self-conscious escapism.


title: RICHARD CHEESE SAYS: "DON'T BUY THIS CD"

text: I saw Dick's show last night at the El Rey and he was unbelievable!  He stated that he's in the middle of a lawsuit with the record label of this cd and we should not buy this one.  He's putting out a cd this January with new recordings of all these songs, so he said last night.  So BUY THE OTHER THREE!!!  TUXICITY is the best!  Get down with the sickness everybody!


title: Extra Cheese Please!!!

text: I plan on being a Lounge Lizard when I grow up [I'm 39 so I'm thinking in another 8 years or so] and a pal of mine  T.C. gave me a copy of Lounge Against the Machine and Tuxicity many years ago and I was a fan from day one!!!!! I picked up I'd Like A Virgin and Aperitif for Destruction when they came out but none of my stores every carried Lounge or Tuxicity in stock [SHAME ON THEM!!!] So I finally just ordered them on line and now that I have all 4 originals life is good! I remember going to see Dawn of the Dead and hearing them play Richard Cheese's version of Down With the Sickness and thinking, finally, the rest of the world [or zombie fans] will know what I know...that Richard Cheese is Uber-Cool! So go out and buy all of Richard Cheese's CDs and play them for your friends and when they ask for a copy tell em "Heck no! Go buy your own!!!!"


title: Cheesy

text: Thats the point though, Its supposed to be a cover of the original in lounge style. This one has some of my favorites done in that laid back way. You could play this at cocktail parties and no one would notice that its lyrics to hard core rock. Enjoy

text: I heard some of the songs off this cd at a store and I have to say it is a disgrace to every single band whos songs are on the cd.  It is not funny, entertaining, or original in any way, and if Kurt Cobain were to hear the Cheese guy sing Rape me, he would be rolling in his grave.  So take the 12 bucks for this cd and go out and buy the cds with the actual songs on them.  I would have given it 0 stars, but the lowest it went was 1.


title: Great!

text: It rocks and rolls!<br />As an alternative music fan who also loves cocktail parties, this is a perfect CD to entertain most and offend some. But, isn't that the goal of all great parties.


title: Could Frank Sinatra cheese up Limp Bizkit?

text: Yes he could, or at least his style of singing could. Dick Cheese makes lounge muzak of alternative style rock. You will laugh at first, the you wil see how interesting the lyrics to your favorite song are when they are stated slowly and clearly. You could probably play this for your parents and pass it off as a lounge act and they wouldn't even know it was music from your favorite alternative rock group. Buy it, play it, laugh at it, then listen to it again. Go Dick Cheese


title: Buy his other CDs, not this one!

text: Richard Cheese does *NOT* own the rights or royalties to this album. The record company that produced it (Oglio Records) ripped him off. This CD IS great... but if you believe in supporting artists buy his other albums instead, since if you buy this he won't see a dime. His 'best of' album, Sunny Side of the Moon, has several songs from this album. I highly recommend it.


title: Neglected jewel

text: It's unlikely that many readers will take any notice of this, and those who are up with the Rameau revival will be tempted to look down on it from a great height.  But if you are curious, you will be rewarded by a disc fully equal in musicianship and significance to Boulanger's first Monteverdi 78s, and a bit better recorded.  This is the first bloom of the Rameau revival.  What interests Boulanger and her artists isn't the instrumentation and the colour, but the vocal writing.  And they do it proud. The French singers are impeccably vigourous and clear,  Irma Kolassi matches them.  Even the order of the selections is perfect.  Forget about historicism - this is history.  It's astonishing that no-one has though of putting it on CD.  But, if you are intrigued and promise not to reveal this, you can  or could download it for free from the website of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France.  At least they know how good it is.  And they should be capable of quelling the greed of any lazy multinational who tries to make them take it down - even in a secret court.  Vive la France!
