title: Pleasent to the ear

text:
The Heart of Rock 'N' Roll the Early 60 is fifty-four minutes and four seconds long and the music on it, cover the years 1961-1964. The only thing I dislike about this CD is the label, to me; is misleading. When I think of early 60's, I think of 1960-1962. On the inside of the flap, tells you the year and the highest the song charted. Starting with this series we are introduce to surf music and the Easy Listening charts. Only one song reached number one on this CD and the luck song\artist is Sad Movies (Make Me Cry) by Sue Thompson; went to #1 on the Billboard Easy Listening charts. The music on the CD is really great to listen to. The Heart of Rock 'N' Roll the Early 60 gets a B+.

title: Nice songs for that Era

text:
The Heart of Rock 'n' Roll 1958-1 is 51 minutes and 8 seconds long. It has some good songs on it from the 1958\59 era like: Lover's Question, So Fine and Mr. Blue. On the inside cover, are the position the songs hit the charts. Seven of the songs went to number one and Venus by Frankie Avalon is the winner with five weeks at #1 on the Pop Charts. The music genre is equally divided between pop and rhythm and blues. At least three of the twenty songs manage to find their way in the Country Western charts. I enjoy listening to this compilation. The Heart of Rock 'n' Roll 1958-1959 gets a B+.

title: Nice CD

text:
The Heart of Rock 'N' Roll 1956 / 1957 is fifty-three minutes and sixteen seconds long. It has some nice songs on it. Only three of the songs on this CD reached number one and only two did not chart. Some of the songs had a hard time trying to make the chart; six of the songs did not even make it past the 25 number and the winner goes to Desire by The Charts. Desire went no further then #88 on the U.S. Billboard Pop Singles charts. Also there are artists on it that I didn't even know existed like: The Channels, The Mello-Kings and The Four Freshmen. This is a nice CD to ad to anybody's collection. The Heart of Rock 'N' Roll 1956 / 1957 gets a B+.

title: Songs for Teenagers

text:
Glory Days of Rock N Roll: Teen Ballads is a two CD set that is one hour, eighteen minutes, and thirty-eight seconds long. I am guessing the songs on this CD are targeted to teenagers. Some of the artists on the set are older then 19 years. That being the cut-off age for a teenager. Some of the songs are tear jerker and the others are love songs. Almost half the artists on this set are female and five of the songs have a female as the name of the title song. Nine of the thirty songs went to number one with Cathy's Clown by The Everly Brothers at the longest for five weeks. Glory Days of Rock N Roll: Teen Ballads gets an AAAA++++.

title: Novelties the were

text:
Glory Days of Rock n Roll: Novelties is a two CD set that is one hour, nineteen minutes, and forty-three seconds. Ah, novelties they were. They just don't make songs for fun anymore. If you listen to today's music, they always must have some kind of message in the song. When back then, the songs were written for fun and no message to it. What I wouldn't give to hear a song on the radio and the only thing it had was a good beat and sang for fun. Being a novelty did not always means chart success; at least three of the song did not chart and one song won three Grammies. Glory Days of Rock n Roll: Novelties gets an AAA+++.

title: New Orleans Music

text:
Glory Days of Rock 'n' Roll: New Orleans is one hour, seventeen minutes, and fifty-two seconds. Four of the songs on this set did not cahrt. I like this two CD set; mainly because of the style of music on it. You don't hear much of this type of music on today's radio; if they play New Orleans style at all. Granted I myself am not going run out to the local record store and stock up on New Orleans music. For me it was a nice change of pace. Glory Days of Rock 'n' Roll: New Orleans gets a B+.

title: Sweep your brain out

Glory Days of Rock 'N' Roll: Hard-to-Find Hits is a two CD set that is one hour, eleven minutes, and eighteen seconds. Hard-To-Find Hits is the right title for this two CD set. Boy did have to clean the cobwebs out of my head. It had songs by artist on it that I did not even know existed or heard in a very, very long time. Some of the songs\artists on it are: Chuck Miller (The House of Blue Lights), Bobby Hendricks (Itchy Twitchy Feeling), The Aquatones (You), Jimmy Jones (Good Timin'), Eddie Cooley (Priscilla), and Bonnie Guitar (Dark Moon). If it ever comes back in stock, get it. The only downside to this CD is not one song reached #1. The closet someone got was Good Timin'by Jimmy Jones; he reached #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles. Glory Days of Rock 'N' Roll: Hard-to-Find Hits gets an AAA+++.

The Birth of Rock 'N' Roll is a two CD set that is one hour, twenty-three minutes, and eight seconds. With the exception of two songs, every song hit the chart; mainly in the Rhythm & Blues Records category. Seven of the songs lasted more then one week with the winner going to Sixty-Minute Man by The Dominoes. That one song lasted fourteen weeks at #1. What can I say; give me that old time rock n' roll instead of that junk they play today. It has artist on it that people like me have forgotten about. Some of the artists are: Faye Adams (Shake a Hand), The Nutmegs (Story Untold), The Dominoes (Sixty-Minute Man), Joe Turner (Honey Hush), Ruth Brown (Oh What a Dream), and Joe Liggins (Pink Champagne). They don't make songs like these anymore. The Birth of Rock 'N' Roll gets an AAAAA+++++ from me.

title: A Grimm, Grimm tale

text:
I honestly did not expect "Grimm" to succeed. Not only was another modern-fairy-tale series being produced at the same time, but it was going to be a police procedural.

But to my surprise, "Grimm Season 1" ended up being a very solid urban fantasy show, with plenty of dark humor, mystery and some very creepy supernatural creatures. It could use a little more arc in its storylines, but it successfully meld police detective work with the stories of the Brothers Grimm. These are not children's fairy tales.

Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) suspects that he's going crazy when he keeps seeing strange things. But when his aunt pays a visit, she reveals that he is a Grimm -- part of an ancient line of guardians who are able to see the supernatural "wesen" (pronounced "vessen"). When she dies, she leaves Nick a trailer full of weapons, ancient books and potions.

With the help of the reluctant Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), a Wieder Blutbad ("big bad wolf"), Nick begins investigating crimes that are committed by wesen... while also having to keep his identity secret from his partner Hank (Russell Hornsby) and beloved girlfriend Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch).

Even as he investigates bizarre crimes that only he can deal with, Nick also discovers that a sultry Hexenbiest -- a wicked witch, in other words -- is bespelling his partner. And he begins to investigate the deaths of his parents, which may not have been an accident... and which were connected to whatever is going on.

"Grimm Season 1" has a pretty simple premise -- that all the strange creatures of the Grimm tales were real, and that they live secretly amongst us. Fortunately the writers keep a dark, violent edge to the season, keeping the whole idea of beaver-people and a lupine "Rapunzel" from seeming ridiculous. Their "Cinderella" story is downright TERRIFYING.

If the series has a problem, it's that its story arcs could be a little stronger. But the ones it has are pretty good, with Nick learning about his destiny and growing into it, even as Captain Renard is scheming to... do something. And the writers do an excellent job of making the wesen "real" people, like Monroe's intense love of Christmas, or the Eisbiebers (who are "average working-class joes" wesen).

The cast is also really good. Giuntoli looks like a genuine police detective, albeit with a boyish, inquisitive edge, and he plays off the scruffy, good-hearted Mitchell really well. Mitchell's Monroe is a real delight -- a reclusive vegetarian "big bad wolf" who initially is reluctant to help Nick, but ends up his loyal, trusted partner. And the cast is rounded out nicely by Tulloch, the mysterious Sasha Roiz, the jovial Reggie Lee, and Monoe's love interest Bree Turner.

"Grimm Season 1" starts off a little slow, but after a few episodes it really kicks into the dark, gruesome fairy-tale stride. One of the best new shows this season.


title: Heavy "lines"

text:
Rock of Travolta is one of those bands where, just by the name, you can't even guess what they sound like.

And even after listening to their album "Fine Lines," I'm STILL not sure what they sound like. It's a dense proggy mass with blasts of murky rock'n'roll and weird experimental moments -- the sort of music that always seems to be unfolding into something else. Best taken in small doses.

It opens with a robotic droning and a bunch of weird voices saying... I'm not sure what they're saying, but it sounds like "Haunting me all night." The first song "Rock By Numbers" drifts between that and a blistering rock anthem that twists like a tangle of wire. Consider it a taste of what's to come.

Several of the songs start off as something else -- blippy electronica, mellow folk, ghostly techno, and even a woman rambling at us. But as the songs wind on, the band layers on the guitar, violins, drums and the buzzing bass, until the music erupts into an epic rock'n'roll expanse. The last two songs don't even bother with that -- one just leaps headlong into the blazing fiery rock, and the other transforms into an eerie, howling rocker that streams away into the distance.

The biggest millstones around this album's neck are a pair of songs that... just don't really fit. One is a woman's increasingly distorted voice talking over a violin, and the other is a murky, distant rock melody that never really becomes easy to hear.

"Fine Lines" doesn't have the kind of music you can easily listen to in one sitting. It's so dense and overwhelming that sometimes it seems to blur together, especially since most of the songs are similar in tone -- dark, tangling prog-rock that blows you away like a thunderstorm. If you listen to too many of the songs, they bleed into each other.

That said, they're pretty good musically -- the fiery bass and guitar fill every song to overflowing, but they also weave in some muscular violin melodies and a dash of electronica (both some dark keyboard and some blippy-bloopy stuff). It all gets smushed together into the strong melodies, with one instrument or another surfacing briefly only to be swept back in.

There aren't a lot of vocals except for the Robo-Vocals and the woman talking  in "Happy With What You're Given," and some of the songs might have benefited from some Matt Bellamy-style wails. But the songs are still pretty good -- if rather intense -- even without that.

Rock of Travolta's "Fine Lines" would be more aptly called "Thick'n'Heavy Lines," with its tidal waves of proggy rock. Warning: only safe in small doses.

title: Excellent collection of Mozart music

text: I enjoy listening to the different Mozart piano peace is contained on this collection of CDs. It’s also nice to have them all together in one group so you’re not left guessing which ones you have and which ones you don’t and accidentally buying multiple recordings of the same thing that’s not your intent. I like the performers and the way they interpret the music. It’s great for waking up to in the morning


title: Five Stars

text: Great album!


title: Yes

text: This album is one of Herbert Vianna's very best, with or without his longterm band-mates, Os Paralamas do Sucesso. The album is well crafted melodically, and is extremely well produced. Vianna mixes unexpected sounds and instruments in a clear and cohesive manner. In addition, his voice has rarely sounded better. The concept is essentially a Herbert Vianna and Friends album, but unlike many such albums, this one works exceedingly well. He collaborates with Cassia Eller, Nana Caymmi, Zelia Duncan, Fernanda Abreu, Marcos Valle, Black Alien, Pedro Luis, Moreno Veloso, and Dado Villa-Lobos (Legiao Urbana), to name a few. All songs on the album are originals, with the exception of a splendid cover of "In Between Days," by The Cure.<br />Sadly, the year after the album was released, Vianna had a devastating accident with an ultralight aircraft. Vianna was paralyzed, and his wife died in the accident. Vianna has continued to record with Os Paralamas, and remains a powerful force in Brazilian rock.

title: highly recommended

text: Naturally on some of the recordings the sound quality may pose a barrier to some enjoying this playing.  If one can concentrate on the playing and let the mind fill in the lost audio one can experience incredible pianism. People just do not play this music like this today. At times one hears a piece with which one is familiar played in a manner not experienced before; as if new life has been breathed into it. Tremendous fun and highly recommended.

title: Not 'Beautiful World' from Phil Sawyer

text: Beware, this is not Phil Sawyer, aka "Beautiful World", this is a band out of Australia. While it is ok, it is not the same band.


title: Really Enjoyable K-pop

text:
I discovered this new group via a friend linking to their youtube videos. The music is mostly pop, with a small amount of rap and some really excellent melodic vocals. I'm not a music nerd, so take my descriptions as an amateur rather than definitive. I will say that I prefer groups with a large number of voices, I just think that they sound richer and more interesting than a single single or a duo. (For example, I really like Pentatonix).

The Asian music industry seems to be a very different animal than the American music industry and I think it's a nice difference.

The title song, Windy Day, Has some excellent vocals, a nice pop background, and a nice almost Middle Eastern musical interlude in the chorus. It will certainly get your feet tapping.

My personal favorite is Liar Liar (two versions, Korean and Chinese). The video is pretty impressive, but the song alone is very pop and something I find myself humming recently.

Stupid in Love is a much calmer, laid back song. More ballad than pop.

B612 (no, I have no idea why that's the name) is also a really nice mix between ballad and pop. I really like it. The rap in the middle is a nice touch. And when I say rap, it's not harsh, in your face, or hard. Just a nice voice speaking rhythmically.

Knock Knock has a little more rap vocal than the others. It's more pop than B612 and Stupid in Love.

Certainly the rest of this mini album is worth the time. Unlike many K- and J-pop, it's OK that I don't understand the vocals, it's just as interesting without it.

This version, while pricey, comes in a really nice case with a large selection of pictures of the group.

title: For me, less would have been more.

text: Had this LP when it (and the movie) first came out.  I loved it then, and when I heard a cut from it the other day, I found this special 2-CD album with the entire Picasso Summer souindtrack.  Well, though at $26 it's more than twice the price of single album CD, I though I'd give it a shot.  Now this is completely personal and my own opinion, because I think music is like cologne...you can't know what others will like...but for ME, this album is too much of a good thing.  First, I hadn't really realized that all of the cuts from Summer of 42 are basically the same music, just re-orchestrated for different scenes.  Not a bad thing...that was a GORGEOUS movie and the music was some of the most memorable of any soundtrack.  But listening to all of the cuts in a row gets a little repetitive.  As for the Picasso Summer soundtrack, it's all good, and the tracks I remember from the original CD are still stunning...I just think I would have enjoyed the single CD album as much if not more, and for a lot less money.


title: Unique Inner Processes

text:
"Interludes" is full of great stuff! It offers a variety of tools for solving a range of the problems that arise as we seek to grow into all that we can be.

Pat Kendall's guided healing processes are unlike anything I've experienced before. They are the culmination of over thirty years of deep work in a variety of leading edge modalities. However, they are more than just a distillation: Pat has applied her own wisdom and brilliance to create something new—clear, simple, and powerfully effective. These are great tools for rapid inner healing on all levels.

However, they are more than just a distillation: Pat has applied her own wisdom and brilliance to create something new—clear, simple, and powerfully effective. These are great tools for rapid inner healing on all levels.

Most of us struggle with our emotions. "Making Friends with Feelings" teaches a whole new way of engaging with ourselves (and others) that is both kinder and far more successful in creating the progress we seek. This is important knowledge that I hope reaches a wide audience.


title: Three Stars

text: not what I expected


title: Perfect album. This album could not even be made ...

text: Perfect album.  This album could not even be made today with the stringent sampling laws.


title: A great record by a great artist

text: Martin Mull was a musician before he went on TV.  His music should appeal to almost everyone.  The used LP I bought was in great shape.


title: Great Christmas songs from 1950’s onward

text: We were so tired of hearing contemporary artists putting their own spin on the Christmas songs we’ve heard all our lives, we just wanted to hear them sung by the original musicians. This filled the bill! These are great CD’s.


title: Pleasant

text: Great CD


title: Relaxing

text: Great CD


title: Arrived damaged

text: Arrived damaged.  "sticks" one line in a song mid-way through cd.  Was a Christmas gift - disappointed both giver and recipient.


title: MUST HAVE!!

text: LOVE THIS CD!!! It's been in my CD player for 3 days now. Really wish that I could find a mp3 of it so that I could have it in my phone for the gym!!


title: Great Reissue

text: Lots of energy.  They seemed "worked up" tempos were up there.  Of course, slightly different personal as current.  A time capsule.


title: Great Talent

text: Great “feel” and talent


title: Five Stars

text: Enjoyed the entire album- never got to see show so this is very enjoyable...


title: Great... it’s like you’re right on the crowd....

text: It would nice to know the name of this “You” can’t read anything. If it’s from the 70’s,  which this is, its no doubt very good.......


title: Great Movie and Soundtrack

text: Do people really pay over $100 for a CD? I could see a vinyl record, but a CD?


title: Best Cd of All time !

text: Eberhard Weber's deep, rubbery, dissonant bass impregnates Norma Winstone's hauntingly melodic voice as Bill Frisell noodles in the back ground. A recording you will play over and over again.


title: beautiful early romantic piano music

text: A contemprorary of Beethoven, Schuncke only lived 26 years and is barely remembered today. His music are smooth and with many lovely melodies. The sonata is well structured. His style is similar to the lighter piano works of Beethoven, Schubert, and maybe Ries. Well worth of listening!


title: ALL TIME GREAT LP'S

text: this literally is a visionary album.  recorded in 1970, i  think, with the INCREDIBLE voices of Ms. Tata Vega, and Dobie Gray, it is AMAZING.<br />I have the LP, I want the CD.


title: Too funny!

text: Old timers would remember this couple.  Makes a great gift and good listening for on the road!


title: Perfect replacement

text: This is a perfect replacement for the battery that came with the radio. Same thing, different color. I keep them both charged, the black one moves in the radio from home to truck and back... which by the way is what kills the battery, constant charging and little to no discharge... The white one I use for taking the radio when I go walking, to the gym, outside... stuff like that.


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome CD by an awesome artist!


It is such a great CD for meditation or for Reiki. I sent it as a gift.


title: Beautiful little album -- not shoegaze, though

text: I fell in love with Guitar after hearing the song "House Full of Time", and bought this album without knowing much about it. It's quite beautiful, but it's far more delicate than what I was hoping for. There are a couple of shoegazey tracks, if that's what you're after, but most of it is quite different.


title: Mine won't play

text: My CD won't play I give it a 1 star. All my other one play I have over 200 CDs. Good thing it was only $20.00


title: Absolutely the worst recording I have ever heard!!!!

text: This CD sounds as if it were made from someone's cassette player they brought to the concert. It is all just noise. Separation of instruments in non-existent. Lyrics are all but impossible to make out. You hear some guitar, the clang of cymbals-NOISE, NOISE, NOISE. I am shocked Amazon buyers allowed this on their site. Flush your money down the toilet rather than buy this crap.


title: Still Great Over 20 Years Later!

text:
Baltimore’s 98Rock was once truly great and this album is empirical proof of their greatness. Since they let Kirk, Mark, and Lopez (who sadly passed from cancer about 15 years or so ago) 98Rock hasn’t been even slightly great.

This album was released back when comedy was allowed to be funny and offensive. I would love to see these 13-25 year old kids listening to this today; they would weep the entire way to their Safe Space until mommy came and rocked them to sleep.

There is no comedy album not released by a guy with the name of Richard Pryor or (1980s) Eddie Murphy that is better than this. You owe it to yourself to listen to this classic.


title: Enjoy

text: Good old music for you to enjoy.  This is the "original" "Duke of Earl" and I think it is great.  Great for your collection!


title: Exceptional, relaxing guitar music

text: This album has been one of my favorites for many years.  To me, the guitar melodies are unique and catchy, yet very relaxing.  The sound effects enhance a feeling of peace.  The song titles really explain the selections.  Each selection is a musical poem relevant to the selection's title.  You feel like you are watching the Moonlight on the Manzinita.


title: A Show From The Good Old Days!

text: This features classic tunes like Layla, Tell the Truth and Blues Power. Well worth getting. Any Clapton can will love it!


title: Great cd-Great show!

text: A most excellent CD.


title: Spectacular Sia Variety

text: Both discs have all her radio play hits.  Some songs I've never heard.  She covers all genres with her unique vocal style.  Something for everyone. Sia is one of the most diverse artists out there.


title: These guys need to be promoted worldwide!

text: Sounds great on my stereo.  Love these talented and artistic guys. Just wish half the album was not remixes.

title: Kindness for age 2 and up

text: The music has a country/western flavor to it.  The tunes are catchy and bouncy. Younger children like it.


title: Spring for it!

text: Another great but relatively unknown Kinks album. Spring for it, you'll be glad you did!


title: Rock'n for Jesus!

text: Really picks up the energy of the Newsboys in concert and presents Christian music as a viable alternative to top 40 rock when presented as the Newsboys so obviously enjoy doing.


title: Awesome customer service

text: Great album and even better customer service! I loved the personal note in the package. Awesome!

This has to be the best ELO produced tracks.  I'm sorry that I didn't find this ELO album 40 years sooner!


title: Pure pleasure

text: Despite the old recordings (1963 & 1970), the digital remastering sounds pretty well. The best however is the music and the excellent interpretation by I Musici. Vivaldi is all joy. This simple, melodic, gut level, unsophisticated - but wrenching your soul by the primitive emotional impact. It is shamelessly Italian, goes straight to the heart without the need to pass through your brain (although the sophistication is there, camouflaged by its apparent lack). And the I Musici pull all the stops and unabashedly tell all and sundry: "It might not be Bach, it is not Beethoven, neither it is Stravinsky or penderecki - but boy, do we love it!, My greatest love is Bach, but when one compares German  with Italian baroque, its like comparing tiramisu with bratwurst und spaetzle - the former deceptively light and happy, the latter heavy and foreboding. So for these scintillating moments of pure joy - The Four Seasons while late at night Matheus Passion. The added violin concertos - very good but not on the par to the exuberance of The Four Seasons


title: First loves do not fade

text: I must have heard these classical romantic cello showcases as a child, perhaps eight years old. Though one's tastes may broaden and change with age and education, the emotional response to first likes and loves does persist. A greatly enjoyable seventy minutes of excellent music. Schumann - the most melodious, Saint-Saence - the best structured, and Lalo - the most emotional and dramatic. I love the sound of cello, often more than that of violin, but still these three cello concertos are less exciting than their violin counterparts, especially the Symphonie Espagnole. Lynn Harell is very good, but in my opinion not really great. What I miss is the pathos and drama that I always look for in romantic music, and to me she sounds too restrained, especially in the Lalo concerto. Nevertheless, a very nice addition to one's disc library..


title: Not exciting enough

text: As an amateur guided by gut-feelings rather than education and expertise, I would not keep this recording for future enjoyment. As I have already written about a different Sibelius recording, after the violin concerto and Finlandia, these are heavy, ponderous, and rely on creating a foreboding atmosphere through expert orchestration.  I miss melody, unexpected surprises, brilliance. I am probably too un-schooled to criticize Sir Beecham's directing, but at the gut level I lost concentration many times and had to remember that it was not background music on a random classical radio matinee. So, with the exception of the third movement of the 7th (that I did like very much), not for me.


title: Rude, lewd, and crude; But I loved it

text: I Found this albumn hilarious. Abby insalted religion,politics,and big business. It starts out with Abby and his group singing the national anthem in their special way (with sound effects and rude comments). any body that is disatisfied with the goverment or religion will like this albumn.


title: Find it. Grab It. ALL of them

text:
One of my most satisfying days was the day I could complete the long way
to finish my Hadjidakis collection.
A treasure hidden to those who are really looking for a real piece of eurpoean and greek history
all along XXth century.
The collection has an embossed art cover that is nothing but MARVELOUS.
Cover art is a pleasure for the senses.
Really. Find all of them and grab it home.
You won't be sorry.

text: Bought for a gift, they loved it


title: A masterpiece of course ! Also get the DVD "Classic Albums: Pink Floyd-The Making of TDS of TMoon".

text:
This is a timeless masterpiece of course ! As everyone knows, the recording engineer was a young... Alan Parsons !

Also get the great DVD titled "Classic Albums: Pink Floyd - The Making of The Dark Side of The Moon", to get some fascinating insights !

In 2004, Clare Torry had to sue Pink Floyd in order to get recognition (and money !) for her amazing improvised vocals on "The Great Gig in the Sky". It was settled out of court and her name now appears as the co-writer ! At that time, she did only 2-3 takes and left the studio not so satisfied of her work... but it stands as one of the greatest vocals of all time. She was paid 400 pounds (at 2016 value) and never heard from the guys after the recording. A few weeks later, she heard the record and sure enough she was part of the legend ! Good for her !

title: In a word "Wonderful"

text: Nice CD, I enjoy good Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), which this is... but it's not overly worked, meaning that the production is not over-the-top.  Len, works up a nice release and keeps it simple.  It is refreshing.  The sound quality is good.  We enjoy this release very much.


title: 4 albums of a forgotten big band

text: I actually have 2 of the recordings on LP. The CD is pretty good and is reasonably priced. The sound quality is not as good as the original LP and the first cuts are rather thin and bright. However, this is probably the best CD available and if you are interested in Sauter Finnegan you should buy it. The last 2 albums are better in sound quality than the first 2.


title: Not as catchy as Life in the Bubble

text: While it is always good to have a new big Phat Band offering, only the Buddy Rich tribute chart moved me. The recording seems rather sterile perhaps due to the Pro Tools digital environment that Goodwin chooses. I really liked the Phat Pack, and Life in the Bubble, and Gordian Knot is still good. It is just not as awesome as the earlier albums.


title: Great Mono sound from a classic album

text: Everything is great on this 180g Mono recording. The sound is outstanding and hey it is the Beatles. Prices are rsing for these 2014 year analog cut records. Get yours while you can.


This is a somewhat obscure recording assembled at the beginning of the bossa nova craze. Brookmeyer is solid and the charts are tight. The drums are upfront to emphasize the beat. This is an interesting artifact of the time period and a pleasant listening experience. If you like Jazz Samba you may wish to investigate this recording. The Schifrin record (second album included on CD) presents interesting use of bass clarinet providing a unique sound.


title: $400? Why not 1000?

text: This product is sold here for 4 times more than it's actual value. I wish there was a law against it.


title: He shows you how he can change his color just like a "Chameleon" to suit all of the different genres ...

text:
Colie Brice makes the title of this CD a reality. He shows you how he can change his color just like a "Chameleon" to suit all of the different genres he melds into his music.

Brice start things off with "Only Love Is Real." He sounds so much like the late John Lennon, it's haunting.

This man leads two separate lives. He is the head of marketing at Classic Records and an amazing musician, singer-songwriter when he is not caught up with his daily tasks at the label.

This entire CD has a mystical, rollicking, spiritual feel to it. Brice can rock, or show a gentle persuasive side with his voice and guitar. He very smartly remains restrained in order for people to receive the message he is attempting to deliver. More times than not, the message is heard loud and clear. "Relax" succeeds in doing just that; placing a positive thought in your mind and getting you to actually relax and find the humor in the voice inflection of Dr. Brice.

Towards the end, the consummate chameleon once again changes colors to fit the changing tide of emotions and thought. The epic "Mystical Music Tour" leads you down a varied path of musical expression for seventeen minutes, then Brice shouts to let you know its over. Is it though? After a few minutes of utter silence, the artist delivers a requiem for song and dance. It's as if to say...it's never over, and life is always subject to change at a moments notice.

A very interesting musical and lyrical stance is taken throughout the entire run of this recording. Musically this is very intelligent, and lyrically it's deep and introspective, while maintaining and undercurrent of unwavering humor. I really enjoyed the changing colors that Colie Brice went through on this CD.


title: Prolific debut from former Phantom's Opera singer!

text:
This is an ultra rare copy of Colie Brice's debut album.  Recorded in 1996 at the early inception of the new media music and home studio revolution.  Among other things, this album illustrates a vivid depiction of the origins of the DIY/indie era.

Track highlights include "17 G a Tribute to Jerry (Garcia)", "Against the Grain", the environmental anthem "Why?", "Life's Journey" featuring a guest appearance by producer Steve Evetts (the CURE, Limp Bizkit) and the new age jazz of "Dolphin Suite".

An experimental, eclectic, and often times eccentric fusion of new age, world, and hard rock..


title: Mobile Fidelity Remaster

text: This is one of the original and rare Rolling Stones European CD issues that would occasionally pop up in indie record stores when CDs first hit the US market. They were soon to disappear when Abkco began manufacturing its own inferior versions for the US market. These early European editions were digitally remastered by Mobile Fidelity, and they were superior sounding to their US counterparts. This is the only instance of MoFi remastering for another label other than their own.


title: Hidden gem

text: Ronald Shannon Jackson hails from Texas, and he went to his home state to record this 1988 disc.  His band included Masujaa and Cary Denigris on guitar, Zane Massey and Eric Person on alto sax, and John Moody on bass.  This disc has Jackson's brand of funky harmolodics.  It's pretty good ("Evoking" and "Psychic Greeting" aren't as good as the others) but the CD is hampered by the sound.  It was recorded in such a way that the guitars and alto saxes blend together into a mush.  Considering the instruments have similar tones and are doubled, a more distinctive recording would have helped immeasurably.  Not only is it a rare CD, but the musical gems are buried in the recording.  Anyone willing to fight through the recording should get this.


title: Nothing's changed, still top notch

text:
The third edition of the SF Jazz Collective plays the songs of Herbie Hancock (and one original per member) and trades Isaac Smith for Andre Hayward on trombone.  If you've heard the first two SF Jazz discs, you can predict what you're getting on the third.  There's the arrangements of a jazz great, and straightforwardly great jazz playing.  All of the songs are tasteful, and don't ruffle too many feathers.

Disc one starts with "Parallelogram", which takes some time to build up steam, then turns into a satisfyingly slanted song.  The first thing I noticed was that these CD's will play more quietly than most, you'll want to turn the volume up on your stereo.  "And What If I Don't" is, like all of the Hancock songs, a very good arrangement with melody intact and very good soloing.  "Sudoko" is, like the title predicts, a tricky-sounding Payton composition.  "Serene Intentions", by Hayward, has a descending melody.  "Actual Proof" is the sole representative of Hancock's funky side, and the Collective keeps it fun.

Disc two opens with "Collective Overture", which has "simple melody" and "complex melody" parts sandwiched around the solos.  "Maiden Voyage" has a long Hutcherson feature.  "Mirror Images" has an nice evocative melody.  "Imminent Treasures" is a nicely evolving Hutcherson-penned song.  "Triumph" sounds at first like a fanfare, but by the third note is really quite soft.  It's mostly one of the quieter songs, though there's a long section towards the end where vibes and piano play a repeating figure under a thunderous drum solo.

The two disc version is very good, I'm sure the more readily available one disc version will pare off some of the weaker songs, but you can't halve the length without removing some very good songs.


title: Time for some Real Altitude

text: I am a big fan of Iona; the band was a mix of Modern Progressive Rock with Folk and Jazz intermixed with ancient Celtic Christian Mystical overtones. Dave Bainbridge is one of the best guitarists out there but the group Lifesigns is a prisoner of the 1970s. I am hearing Yes, ELP, Happy the Man, with some Gentle Giant. The poetry (lyrics) is 2nd rate and doesn’t help you to question reality or God. You can easy guess the next line. Come on, this is the 21st century. Time to move on and create something new. There are new issues to be addressed and new structures of music to create. I won’t be buying the other albums because I have other experiments to listen to. You have some keyboards and computers; why not lay aside 12 TET for a few songs and try Just Intonation, 53 TET or 72 TET? Better yet add some classical music overtones or free jazz. Open up and explore the Altitude.
